QUALITY ANGLES & THE "TANTALUS" COMPLEX teaches work teams & departments how to add balance & quality to the organization. QUALITY ANGLES expands on the individual approach to balance outlined in PROFESSIONAL BALANCE (Manfit Press, hardcover, 1989). It includes new material on leadership, diversity, empowering teams, department balance, & measuring performance. QUALITY ANGLES introduces the "Tantalus" Complex, based on classical mythology. King Tantalus offends the gods & must spend eternity vainly reaching for food & stooping to drink. The book translates this "tantalizing" predicament into a useful & memorable paradigm that helps teams avoid moving towards & away from goals at the same time. SPECIAL FEATURE - over 20 interviews with people in unique professions such as Bull-fighting, Ice-Cream tasting, Story telling, Whistling, Ski Patrolling, & even a motion picture "Screamer." These unique "Angle Views" shed light on new ways to manage, lead & balance work. It's rare to have exceptional story tellers, leaders, teachers, & screamers interviewed about quality & balance. As a companion guide to PROFESSIONAL BALANCE, QUALITY ANGLES offers "tools & tales" to help build balanced work teams.Griggs, Rick is the author of 'Quality Angles & the "Tantalus" Complex Unique Perspectives on Balance & Performance' with ISBN 9780922530014 and ISBN 0922530017.
