60 to 80% of all new jobs come from small businesses - When it's time to hire employees this can make or break the business. The younger members of the workforce are a unique group. They’re looking for more than just jobs; they want relationships with their bosses, and with their colleagues. They are used to working at their own pace, and they don’t like rigid schedules or long hours. Finally, when they are assigned a project, there is a crucial question they must ask before they are ready to approach the task at hand: Why? This new breed of employee has drastically changed today’s working environment. “The modern manager deals with a very different world from the one managers faced just a generation ago,” Kingsley says, “The pace of change in the workplace is staggering. Technological advances in communication, production, delivery, and service cause small business owners to run harder just to keep the pace. If we’re not four steps ahead, we’re falling behind.”   Kingsley's book, "Inspired People Produce Results" was written to help small business owners inspire modern employees to surprising levels of success, with everyone involved actually enjoying the process. In his book, "Inspired People Produce Results," Kingsley teaches leaders the nine fundamental characteristics that they must practice in order to inspire their teams toward success. Bestselling author and inspired speaker, Jeremy Kingsley,  is a regular contributor to FoxBusiness.com and one of the most popular speakers in the country. Host, Melody Campbell, also known as The Small Business Guru, and the founder of the Northwest School of Small Business.
