[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "New Mindset New Results" by Brian Tait.]

New Mindset, New Results: A Leadership Guide for Achieving Goals by Brian Tait is a non-fiction self-help book primarily written with small business owners in mind. The book contains material on how to motivate oneself as well as communicating and listening to one’s employees. Although the book’s target audience is small business owners, there are parts of it that can apply to the efforts of managers in larger organizations and to solo entrepreneurs as well.

I really wish that the management at the job that I held for close to eleven years in a retirement community had utilized the principles in this book. Although they were somewhat better than many places I’ve worked, where employees were not valued at all and were told to toe the line and keep their mouths shut, there was still a culture which made it clear that it was best for employees to stay in their lane and not complain too much. The author makes it very clear that this is an unhelpful stance for businesses to take. One of the most important points he makes is that employees who feel as if they are a valuable part of a business will excel in their roles and will make the organization stronger overall.

I give New Mindset, New Results four out of four stars. It is well-written, and the overall tone is one of professionalism and success. There were a few minor typos but given the overall skillfulness and competency of the writing, I believe the book was professionally edited. The author and/or publisher might want to review the formatting. There are a few places where sentences break off in the middle and form a new paragraph. This generally happens when the text following the sentence is centered.

The thing I liked best about New Mindset, New Results was its emphasis on valuing one’s employees and giving them the freedom to voice their opinions. Employees who feel as if they are a valued part of an organization will be more likely to put effort into helping that organization succeed.

There wasn’t anything that I really disliked about New Mindset, New Results. The advice about thinking positively and not giving up is not new. However, analyzing what this advice really means and advising the reader how to utilize it to their best advantage is a helpful tactic.

I would recommend this book for small business owners and managers within larger corporations. It does have some practical applications for solo entrepreneurs but is really geared towards organizations that have employees.

I totally agree that where employees feel valued, they excel and in turn, the organization profits. I,too, worked in an organization where employees were told to keep quiet and not raise a voice which was depressing and ultimately made so many employees like me lose faith and leave.

I know I will read this book simply because I want to know how to utilize the advise of tackling such businesses and yet think positively.

Lovely review and thanks for recommending this book.

This book offers positive advice for managing a small business. The focus on communication makes employees feel that their work and efforts are important and valued. Great review. Thanks.

Everything about it makes sense and is understandable. I like the fact that this book isn’t only for the smaller businesses but for the larger ones as well. Most of whats stated is true, like how if the workers feel valued they will return that by being more productive or efficient and effective with their work, rather than half as*ing it all.

This seems like a very helpful book. I like that it is focused more on small businesses but also can be applied on a larger scale. Good job on your review.

Thanks...seems like a clear and easy to read book. Thanks for the review
