PRIME Search Questionnaires - 10-pack for $2.50 (overstock)
Simply the best management feedback tool available in paper. It uses a unique scoring matrix. Instead of a response scale that runs from "low" to "high," this management development tool uses a 2 X 2 grid. The horizontal scale asks "How much do I need of this behavior from my boss?" The vertical scale asks "How much of this behavior is my boss giving me?" So instead of a typical rating scale (say on a Likert-type response of "1" to "7"), the respondent rates how much of a match the boss's behavior is for HIS/HER SPECIFIC NEEDS! The responses get aggregated into clustergrams that indicate how much the boss's behavior is "on-target" of "off-target" for meeting the employee's needs. This questionnaire is as bias-free as any evaluation instrument can get. An accompanying 89-page workbook is available for licensing. The workbook is entitled: Identify and Foster Effective Management Practices - PRIME Search. These feedback tools were originally used as part of Upward Appraisal seminars where managers solicited instrumented feedback from their employees via this 50-item questionnaire. Call for licensing options, or just order the questionnaires here.

A Soft Answer by Terry Dobson, article reprint (2 pages)
This powerful article is available on the web at: http://easternhealingarts.com/Articles/softanswer.html We have reprints available for those who want a hardcopy. THE ARTICLE BEGINS............... A turning point came in my life one day on a train in the suburbs of Tokyo, in the middle of a drowsy spring afternoon. The old car clanked and rattled over the rails. It was comparatively empty—a few housewives with their kids in tow, some old folks out shopping, a couple of off-duty bartenders studying the racing form. I gazed absently at the drab houses and dusty hedgerows............... At one station the doors opened, and suddenly the quiet afternoon was shattered by a man bellowing at the top of his lungs, yelling violent, obscene, incomprehensible curses. Just as the doors closed, the man still yelling, staggered into our car. He was big, drunk and dirty. He wore laborer’s clothing. His front was stiff with dried vomit. His eyes bugged out, a demonic, neon red. His hair was crusted with filth. Screaming, he swung at the first person he saw, a woman holding a baby. The blow glanced off her shoulder, sending her spinning into the laps of an elderly couple. It was a miracle that the baby was unharmed.
