and the Quest to Bring Down the Most Wanted Man on Wall Street
and the Quest to Bring Down the Most Wanted Man on Wall Street

Review:This book is extremely well written and pulls together a lot of information from various sources. It also has a number of proprietary insights that made it a great read even for someone like me that followed these events very closely as they unfolded. Ms. Kolhatkar is a talented writer and she set the bar high with this one. I look forward to her next book. Read more

Sell and Build Your Network Marketing Business With Stories
Sell and Build Your Network Marketing Business With Stories

Review:The author is right on--stories grip attention and have more power to sell than do facts. Some of the stories he author uses are personal experience, and those are the best. Others are from jokes and fables, and those can work too. But the best advice is to start gathering your own stories. Until then, most of these stories will work to motivate you, help you abandon your excuses, and make your prospects think too.

Big Al makes the point well--what counts is not what you say so much as wh... Read more

Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk
Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk

Review:but it took me over three months to do it. Normally I'll finish a book in under a month.
The beginning was interesting, about ancient civilizations using symbols to mean amounts or numbers of things. The book progressed nicely to early mathematicians and games of chance, which then got extended (finally!) to probability. But then I hit a wall as one after another of the admittedly giants of mathematics were introduced. Their backstories were interesting for a while, but there were way too man... Read more

Increasing Effectiveness Through Situational Leadership II
Increasing Effectiveness Through Situational Leadership II

Review:I find it Excellent Content, as a Trainer myself of Situational Leadership. I have attended many other Leadership Development courses in the past which were full of nice but hollow phrases such as "Your staff are your most valuable asset" etc. Very often people are promoted into Leadership roles based on their own good functional performance, but are unprepared for taking charge of other people and their performance. This book's content - when fully understood, is an excellent "Toolkit" for hand... Read more

For Those Who Refuse to Live as Mice in Someone Else's Maze
For Those Who Refuse to Live as Mice in Someone Else's Maze

Review:Malhorta works a bit of magic in this book by looking at the WWMC lessons through the lenses of self-reliance, innovation and perseverance. His message is an uplifting one -- stop letting others define your life and stop living within the artificial boundaries set by others for you. Where WWMC was a pean to accepting the change around you, IMYC suggests that we have the (admittedly risky) option to simply create our own maze or ignore altogether that mazes even exist. It's a miniature manifes... Read more

Leading Change, With a New Preface by the Author
Leading Change, With a New Preface by the Author

Review:This is a good book to read if you are considering making changes within an organization. The steps for successful, sustained change are good food for thought. It's already made me aware of things I've done well and not so well in change efforts. Read more

Changing and Succeeding Under Any Conditions - Our Iceberg Is Melting
Changing and Succeeding Under Any Conditions - Our Iceberg Is Melting

Review:Perhaps the most simplistic business fable yet. It's nothing more than "Who Moved My Cheese" for dummies. If you're manager in a fast-changing business, and have people working for you who are unable to comprehend "Cheese", I'd suggest you either buy them this book, or screw-up the courage to fire them.

Gung Ho! Turn On the People in Any Organization
Gung Ho! Turn On the People in Any Organization

Review:If I told you that a book about squirrel spirits, beaver best practices and gifts that geese give could transform your company and according to Tom Peters, "...revolutionize any organization which adopts it, and those that don't won't survive.", what would you tell me? After the success of "Raving Fans" Mr. Blanchard and Mr. Bowles returned to their pithy, aphorism-filled well to deliver their readers an amalgamation of religion, Native American spiritualism and a tried and true underdog story. ...
