New Book on Team Leadership Management Recently Named as Finalist in the Business and Career Categories of the 2009 Next Generation Indie Book Awards

Boca Raton, FL, May 22, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The 2009 Next Generation Indie Book Awards has named Your Guiding Genius: Building a World Class Team as a finalist in two categories, Business and Careers.

The 2009 BookExpo America, the largest industry trade show in North America with thousands of attendees from all arenas of the book industry will be held in New York City, May 29th and 30th. Your Guiding Genius is in the catalog that will be distributed at the event.

Breaking from the traditional concepts of team leadership, Your Guiding Genius has received outstanding praise from such industry icons as Ronald G Assaf, founder of Sensormatic Electronics Corporation and H. Wayne Huizenga, who grew Blockbuster Video and Waste Management, Inc. into successful companies and who is the former owner of the National Football League's Miami Dolphins, the National Hockey League's Florida Panthers, and the Major League Baseball's Florida Marlins. Other notables praising the book include Louis E Lataif, Dean of the Boston University School of Management, and Dr. Abraham S. Fischler, President Emeritus of Nova Southeastern University.

With over 30 years experience in team management in such industries as aerospace manufacturing, distribution, and staffing, Jay LaBonte is helping others build successful teams with his solid advice. Many problems with building a successful team result from poor communications, and they can be solved with an integrated approach to various aspects of team management. In today’s troubled economic times, businesses must find ways to increase profitability, and that work must start from within the organization by creating a team able to handle the challenges presented.

Your Guiding Genius provides a comprehensive step-by-step manual to being an effective leader by emphasizing the positive attributes each member brings to the table. This book repeatedly brings to light the importance of solidarity in the workplace and the effect of its presence (or lack thereof) on productivity. Often viewed as a seemingly “easy” topic, this book gives team leadership a new twist—that is, people working side by side differs greatly from people who are part of a team.
