Amazon.com: Leadership: Books: Rudolph W. Giuliani,Ken Kurson Leadership cannot be learned from one who is good only at symbolism, but not operations, nor from reading an overly simplistic book. There is great advice here, as there is in most books about leadership and management, but the richness of Giuliani's book is the texture, illustrating the points with fascinating "inside" stories from a career that merited giving this kind of advice even if he had not become "our Churchill" after September 11. The leadership principles he champions preparation, accountability and strong self-definition chief among them come as no surprise, but the stories he uses as examples are filled with vivid scenes and organized with a veteran trial lawyer's flair for maximum effect. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0786868414?v=glance   (2440 words)

Encyclopedia of Leadership by James MacGregor Burns @ .::ManagementOnly.com::. For example, a more concise and cohesive book that I'd recommend is "Bass & Stogdill's Handbook of Leadership" by Bernard Bass (for $90 it's almost a giveaway!). Lastly, I'd recommend Robert Houses' "Culture, Leadership, and Organizations: The GLOBE Study of 62 Societies" (at $125 it's a steal). Gary Yukl's "Leadership" is also excellent but less broad ($110). www.managementonly.com /books.php/12245/Encyclopedia_of_Leadership   (339 words)

Guts! Kevin and Jackie Freiberg's previous book, Nuts!: Southwest Airline's Crazy Recipe for Business and Personal Success, described the unconventional leadership that made Southwest an airline industry dynamo. Although the leaders in the book represent a wide range of industries, they share a common vision: They see business as a heroic cause and understand that good leadership isn't a matter of position, but of influence. And make everyone in the company responsible for the company's brand and culture. www.sas.com /news/sascom/2003q4/feature_gutsbook.html   (503 words)

While the beginner may want to read another book by the Rinpoche, The Wish-Fulfilling Jewel as an introduction, this one can stand alone. While a few black leaders, including the Rev.

(DV) Farber: The Left-Wing Gatekeepers of the American Anti-Israeli Occupation Movement Furthermore, in his book Lerner ignores the efforts made by binationalists for years to get the Yishuv leadership to sit down and talk with the indigenous Arabs, and glibly and pompously dismisses Buber, Magnes and the binationalists with the comment, "Most Jews felt these idealists were out of touch with reality..."

Leadership Crossroads - Book Review: French or Foe? Several of the book’s chapter and section titles are quite telling, such as “Rudeness is in the eye of the beholder” or “What’s logical to you may not be to me”. What makes Platt’s book fun to read are the countless examples and short stories she uses to illustrate her points. Polly Platt’s book is great educational reading if you want to know what it is about the French that rubs Americans the wrong way (and vice versa). leadershipcrossroads.com /book_fof.htm   (2339 words)

Han Feizi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Han Feizi's philosophy experienced a renewed interest under the rule of the Communist Party during the leadership of Mao Zedong, who personally admired some of the principles laid out in it. Han Feizi's entire recorded work is collected in the Han Feizi, a book containing 55 chapters. Apart from the Confucianist Xun Zi, who was his and Li Si's teacher, the other main source for his political theories was Lao Zi's Taoist work, the Tao Te Ching, which he interpreted as a political text, and on which he wrote a commentary (chapters 20 and 21 in his book, Han Feizi). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Han_Fei_Zi   (2339 words)

Foreign Affairs - Book Review - The Anatomy of Fascism - Robert O. Paxton Paxton's first book, "Vichy France," has become the standard work in the field despite its once-controversial thesis (that the Vichy regime was not merely imposed by Nazis but had domestic roots); "The Anatomy of Fascism," based on decades of research and teaching, is likely to prove just as authoritative. Fascists, he concludes, were identifiable most of all by a style of political behavior that emphasized historical grievances, worshiped the cult of leadership, relied on a mass-based movement of national militants, repressed democratic liberties, and used violence as a political tool. The term "fascism" originated with Mussolini in 1919 and has since often been stretched to apply to almost any political group to the right of the person using it. www.foreignaffairs.org /20040301fabook83239/robert-o-paxton/the-anatomy-of-fascism.html   (2339 words)

Counter Productive CounterPunch Bunch CounterPunch may not care to admit this, but at that early date no one considered Dean's leadership against the war "smart" or "political." Most pundits considered it political suicide. CounterPunch is too busy helping the right wing by attacking Howard Dean and other good candidates to respond to me or rethink the consequences of their nihilistic, cynical campaign of disinformation. CounterPunch routinely uses snipped half-comments mixed with rough paraphrases (at best) and vicious, unfounded attacks upon from unreliable and reckless critics grinding axes and spewing unfounded trash talk. www.mikehersh.com /printer_Counter_Productive_CounterPunch_Bunch.shtml   (2339 words)

Critics attributed her coverage of the Adolf Eichmann trial to a host of purposes other than simple reporting, such as exposing the role of the Jewish leadership in the Holocaust and raising larger questions about German guilt and the nature of totalitarianism. www.idiotsguides.com /static/rguides/us/eichmann.html   (1540 words)

Review and Price :: Leadership In his book, Leadership, he is not afraid to tell us why he did such a good job as Mayor of New York. The interesting thing is most of the strategies are simple, but that is what leadership requires--an understadable plan of action that can be implemented. Finally, municipal management bears little semblance to business management - there is no competition or "bottom-line." Thus, I prefer to take my leadership advice from someone with "REAL" credentials - eg. www.reviewprice.com /0786868414/Leadership.html   (1540 words)

It is a powerful book, as authentic as any, heartrending and true, exciting and brutally tragic. madoui.chez.tiscali.fr /madoui.synopsis.html   (623 words)
