MICHAEL A. FINA SHARES PERSPECTIVES IN NEW BOOK
Planning and Strategy Are Critical,
But Successful Managers Lead Through Action
New York, NY (April 15, 2009) – Michael A. Fina, vice president of world-renowned Michael C. Fina, discusses the philosophies that have led to the continued success of his family business in the new book Perspectives on Managing Employees (Cengage Learning, $29.99).
The book includes Fina’s own ideas on:
- Engaging new hires early in their employment
- Building trusted relationships between managers and employees
- How successful managers navigate through HR minefields
- Forming trusted relationships with employees, customers, and suppliers
- Developing employee celebration strategies that align with business goals
Fina’s approach to Perspectives on Managing Employees is based upon a combination of real-world experience and common sense, with an eye toward helping managers improve performance, productivity, and profitability.
Fina also highlights the importance of employee retention in both good economic times and bad. Experts have calculated the cost of turnover to range anywhere from 50 to 150 percent of an employee’s annual salary. According to Fina, a well-developed and executed retention plan is key to reducing these costs, maintaining productivity, and staying competitive in your market.
As part of the innovative new book series published by Cengage Learning, Perspectives on Managing Employees teaches front line managers, strategic decision makers, and business owners to understand the long term benefits of managing their employees properly. A total of four books currently comprise the Perspectives series, with each book written by two or more authors from opposing viewpoints, such as agency/client, seller/prospect and employer/employee. Michael Fina’s co-authors are represented by various members of the workforce across numerous industries, and the result is a stimulating dialogue on a variety of business topics presented in an engaging question/answer format.
Comprised of 97 targeted questions, divided into four parts, Perspectives on Managing Employees is an indispensible reference readers will return to again and again

Quotes
“The path to being an effective manager and leader begins with a handful of essential traits,” says Fina. “It’s the ability to build and maintain relationships, the capacity to recognize problems and take the necessary action to solve them, the conviction to trust your instinct, the wisdom to keep an open mind, and above all else, to act with integrity. These traits, combined with a well-developed employee celebration strategy that is aligned with business goals, can improve performance, productivity, and profitability.”
