How Performance Management Is KillingPerformance—and What to Do About ItRethink, Redesign, RebootM. Tamra Chandler, Dave Ulrich

SummaryRethink, Redesign, Reboot.

Most people associate performance management with the annual review, whichis universally dreaded by employees, management, and HR professionalsalike.

Actually, Chandler doesn't offer a single alternative—she offers an infinitenumber of them. Each organization that uses her Performance ManagementReboot is able to develop its own unique version since it doesn't make a lot ofsense for organizations with different cultures, in different industries andsectors, to do things exactly the same way. Grounded in the latest scientificfindings about motivation, it's a transparent, employee-driven process thatvalues collaboration over competition and rewards people for acquiring newskills and increasing their contribution instead of hitting arbitrary benchmarks.

Chandler lays out the general principles and then walks you through each stepin creating a performance management process that employees will actuallyembrace rather than avoid and that will help you meet the three objectives ofgreat performance management: developing your people, rewarding themequitably, and driving your organization's performance. It's the firstcomprehensive, step-by-step guide to creating a performance managementsolution that's tailored to your organization's needs and goals and that placesthe emphasis squarely on your greatest asset: your people.

SummaryA revolutionary guide to finding the safest sailboats for offshore cruising

Seaworthy Sailboats is a groundbreaking book that conveniently evaluates andlists ocean-capable cruisers. Based on the author's own research trying toselect a seaworthy cruising sailboat, this one-of-a-kind guide uses elevenscreening criteria to identify the 398 most seaworthy, offshore-capablefiberglass sailboats of North American design.

Insightful explanations of each vessel focus on seven basic statistics and tenderived statistics, including displacement to waterline length, a capsizescreening formula, and the author's own Seaworthiness Index, which givesa single value to both the capsize resistance and motion comfort of a givenvessel. Additionally, he ranks each vessel based on its strengths andweaknesses performing in a range of weather conditions and sea states, whichallows readers to handpick the sailboat best suited for their needs.

Handbook of Petroleum Refining Processes, FourthEdition (4th Edition)Robert Meyers

SummaryThis fully revised resource presents the latest technologies and processes forpetroleum refining from the world’s leading producers, including Chevron,Shell, ExxonMobil, and UOP.

This fully revised resource presents the latest technologies and processes forpetroleum refining from the world's leading producers.

Handbook of Petroleum Refining Processes has become a key reference in thechemical and petroleum engineering markets. The book is unique in that itpresents licensable technologies for the refining of petroleum and productionof environmentally acceptable fuels and petrochemical intermediates. The newedition covers the gamut of global refining technologies in light of recentchanges to the sources of these fuels, as well as the most up-to-date globalenvironmental regulations. Contributions come from such major licensors ofpetroleum refining technology as UOP, Inc., Shell, ExxonMobil Research andEngineering Company (EMRE), Chevron Lummus Global, Phillips 66, Belco, BP,and others.

The new edition shifts its emphasis to accommodate the increased productionof shale gas and shale oil which is changing the overall mix of hydrocarbonfeeds. Declining conventional crude production and the need for regionalenergy independence continues to drive demand to use lower-cost, alternatefeedstocks such as coal, shale oil, and heavy crude. To use alternatefeedstocks in existing refineries, many processes need to be modified. Theincrease in diesel demand and stricter fuel specifications is driving refiners tolook for ways to produce higher yields from existing assets. The book reflectsthese factors, plus the increase in residue conversion; hydrocracking evolvingas a primary conversion process; and hydrotreating increasing as a way totreat virgin and cracked middle distillate streams.

Offers detailed description of process chemistry and thermodynamics andproduct by-product specifications of plantsContributors are drawn from the largest petroleum producers in the world,including Chevron, Shell, ExxonMobil, and UOPCovers the very latest technologies in the field of petroleum refiningprocesses and the shift toward shale gas and oilA complete listing and explanation of licensable global technologies forthe refining of petroleum and the production of environmentallyacceptable fuels and petrochemical intermediatesProvides product-by-product specifications and process economics –capital investment annualized capital costs and the price range for eachproduct

Contributor BioDr. Robert A. Meyers, Ph.D., was manager of chemical process technology atTRW and is now president of RAMTECH Limited. He is the inventor orco-inventor of a number of important engineering processes, and hasmanaged projects in nearly every facet of the fuel refining industry.
