From the publisher

Every day, technology is changing the way we do business. People, however, have their needs which, if recognized, can assist the organization in achieving best results. A manager may be on the cutting edge of technology, but he or she does well to have a positive way of communicating with his/her team members. Chester A. Raber, PhD, knows how difficult management can be, but he's been able to simplify the process through the unique Core4 participative people-management system.

Core4 emphasizes manager/employee interactions that occur regularly without there being a problem that needs to be addressed. Instead of employees popping into the manager's office when they encounter a challenge, employees have scheduled, one-on-one "face time" with the manager every month. Instead of having to constantly solve employees' problems (which can be a condescending and frustrating experience for both parties), managers get to know his/her team better and move interactions from being problem focused to person and goal focused.

Businesses and nonprofits made up of just a few to thousands of employees, can benefit from Core4. If your organization is not realizing its best intentions, discover how Core4 can improve the results and joy for everyone.

About the author

Chester A. Raber received his PhD in psychology in 1963 and served in several counseling positions including Brooklane Psychiatric Center in Hagerstown, MD; Oaklawn Psychiatric Center in Elkhart, IN; and Churches Counseling Center in Singapore. His professional focus then developed into people-management in both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations.

Combining his interest and background in working with people-their hopes, fears, and needs-and observations of many organizations with which he consulted, led to the development of the participative management system, Core4. That management system has been implemented in more than seventy organizations in eight states, Nepal, and Canada.

Recently, he and his wife, Gerry, moved into a retirement community in Lititz, Pennsylvania.

Friends, relatives, and former clients encouraged Chet to write the story of his development of the management system, Core4. Despite failing eyesight and other vestiges of increasing age, he embarked on this labor of love.
