AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire-iReach/ Mind Reading for Managers: 5 FOCUSed Conversations for Greater Employee Engagement and Productivity, a new book by employee engagement expert Kim Seeling Smith, Founder and CEO of internationaltraining and consulting firm Ignite Global, provides a step-by-step process to improve employee job satisfaction and productivity.

Madel Giles, HR Advisor for Razorfish, said Mind Reading for Managers is, "A refreshing and effective approach to people management."

The Gallup Organization estimates that lack of employee engagement costs the U.S. economy between $450 billion and $550 billion each year. Yet incredibly, most employee engagement issues can be solved quite simply with better communication between managers and staff. Most managers lack the tools needed to foster the kind of creativity, innovation and solution-oriented work needed in today's Social Age.

In Mind Reading for Managers, Smith reveals a step-by-step process she calls FOCUSed conversations. Readers are guided through a five-conversation process:

F Feedback. Giving praise and accepting feedback.

O Objectives. Clearly defining and articulating expectations.

C Career Development. Helping employees manage their careers and ensuring they understand what opportunities exist within the company.

U Underlying Motivators. Uncovering what employees need to truly "go the extra mile."

S Strengths. Determine behaviors that come naturally to employees and align those with responsibilities and objectives.

Mind Reading for Managers is recommended for managers, supervisors, executives, small business owners, human resources professionals and all business or organization leaders who desire a happier, more productive workforce and a more prosperous bottom line.

Mind Reading for Managers (Cost: $17.97) is available on Amazon.com.

Author Kim Seeling Smith will be doing a book reading / signing at SXSW at 1PM on the 14 th of March in Ballrom G of the Austin Convention Center.
