For nearly two decades, Jeff Pasquale has coached hundreds of executives and organizations on the art of effective relating. As the modern workplace rapidly evolves, Pasquale urges all leaders to re-learn how to relate to one another and their employees. His new book, ‘The Book of Leader: A Testament to the Art of Leadership’, explains how.

Boynton Beach, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/20/2013 -- While some relationship coaches teach others how to implement experimental or even 'fad' leadership cultures, Florida's Jeff Pasquale takes his clients back to the bare basics. However, don't be fooled by the concept; Pasquale is merely attempting to re-build broken foundations that he fears could wreck the country's average workplace for good.

"Put simply; modern workers at all levels have forgotten how to relate to one another. It's become an epidemic that causes and furthers the many challenges in their business and personal lives," says Pasquale, who has written over forty articles and seven books on leadership, personal improvement, and organizational effectiveness.

Continuing, "I travel the country speaking and can honestly conclude that too many managers have become bullies due to their inability to relate or their lack of knowing what to say. They don't ask for help, they demand it; they don't make requests, they make threats; and they don't offer advice, they offer criticism. They have somehow come to the conclusion that this is how you manage."

However, all is not lost. Those attending Pasquale's talks or reading his books quickly come to discover that it's relatively easy to re-learn the simple art of relating. To date, Pasquale has worked with corporate clients including McDonald's Corporation, Tyco International, and the United States Postal Service on these very same concepts.

"It all comes back to leadership. Business owners are often the last ones to know that they have a manager in their company who is bullying people. There is a proactive way they can quickly determine how well managers are managing - it's called having a conversation!" he adds. "And during this conversation you ask 3 questions that will reveal exactly how your manager thinks." (These 3 questions can be found on his web site.)

In order to assist as many people as possible, Pasquale has recently released a refreshingly simple new book titled 'The Book of Leader: A Testament to the Art of Leadership'. In short, the book acquaints readers with the real and deeper meaning of leadership.

Synopsis: When leaders learn to consistently lead from their heads and their hearts, the outcome is meaningful change and positive results.

Leadership is always a work in progress. Your role as a leader will continuously change. But two key elements that will never change are the need to serve and to support those you lead.

Learn to tune out the noise and pressure of others' expectations—and step back from the power of your own preconceived notions of what a leader should be. The Book of Leader offers reflections that will help you think, act, and respond in ways consistent with who you are and allow you to be a truly authentic leader.

This latest release builds on the successes of Pasquale's earlier titles. His previous book, 'Subway Life', takes the art of relating below ground and has resonated with numerous industry gurus.

For example Derek Sivers, Founder of CD Baby, was left impressed. He comments, "Though a quick read, it's a wonderful metaphor that has stuck with me for days after reading."

Sandy Vilas, CEO of Coachinc.com praised: "Life is full of lessons. Sometimes we miss them and other times we learn from them. Subway Life reveals some of life's essential lessons about why it's important to be connected to the world around us. If not connected, BEWARE!!"

"Jeff relates the subway system to life with such humor and understanding that the subway no longer represents only a commute from points A to B, but instead becomes this fantastic transformative vehicle, your carriage of awareness, adventure and choices," says Kathleen Anderson Ross.

Those looking for a reminder of what leadership really is are urged to purchase Pasquale's latest book, as well as explore his expanding bibliography. Organizations interested in speaking and coaching engagements are also invited to make contact at their earliest convenience.

"As a leader, you're always evolving. However, evolving from a flawed foundation is a one-way ticket to corporate and financial disaster. Get back to the basics; read my books and give me a call. Most business consultants can help you get back on track, but I will help you see that track and stay on it," Pasquale concludes.

Following the sudden death of its dealer, Performance Brokerage Services steps in and negotiates the sale of Burien Honda in Washington to new owner, Greg Rairdon. The acquisition marks the growth of Rairdon’s impressive portfolio to seven dealerships and eight franchises.

Brea, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/11/2012 -- For many years, Performance Brokerage Services has facilitated dozens of sales and acquisitions as a leading national auto dealership broker. Today, in light of a series of less-than-ideal circumstances, the brokerage firm is delighted to announce the sale of Burien Honda to Greg Rairdon.

The sale comes following the death of Jack Enderson, the original Dealer and Principal. With no succession plan in place upon his death, immediate action was necessary to ensure that the dealership could continue with minimal disruption.

Coupled with the departure of the dealership's General Manager of more than twenty-five years, the Endersons' attorney engaged Performance Brokerage Services due to their stellar reputation and vast experience with swift and professional auto dealership sales.

"I was absolutely delighted with the professional and expert assistance my clients and I received from Moshe Stopnitzky and Performance Brokerage Services with respect to the sale of the assets of my client's Honda dealership and the related real property," says Evan O. Thomas III, the family's attorney.

He continues, "This was a particularly challenging sale because of my client's advanced age, family squabbles and the operational difficulties in the management of the dealership. Despite these very difficult obstacles, Moshe was able to garner the confidence of my clients and with very little preparation and input from our side, brought us six excellent offers. He wisely counseled us to accept an offer from one of the six buyers who, as Moshe predicted, proved able to close the deal with no financing contingencies and no downward adjustments in the sales price."

The dealership's new owner, Greg Rairdon, was eager to join the Honda family for many years. Aside from the dealership itself, Rairdon also secured adjacent land in order to develop an extension to the current facilities and to further comply with Honda's new image standards.

The unusual circumstances presented a large challenge, yet more than manageable for the brokerage firm.

Moshe Stopnitzky, President of Performance Brokerage Services said after the closing, "We immediately took the dealership to the market for a bidding process in order to maximize the asset for the estate and contacted the best possible candidates. We are very familiar with Washington dealer's body since we have successfully consummated over 35 transactions in that state alone! Because of the strong (Honda) brand and the dealership's location just 9 miles from Seattle, we generated multiple offers rather quickly and ultimately sold the dealership to one of the best dealers in Washington State."
