weLEAD Book Review by the Editor of leadingtoday.org
Wess Roberts is best known for his previous best-selling book, Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun. Perhaps to use the title of "author" for The Best Advice Ever for Leaders is a slight overstatement. What Wess has done is to compile a book of over 800 quotes that he feels will help the reader to discover and develop the various traits of leadership. Many books of quotations have been written in ...

A Most Inspiring Read
I most enjoyed this book. It is filled with everyday success stories, and shows that you do not have to make a million dollars or be a world-famous celebrity to be a success. If you need to identify with some good, commonsense values and uplifting insights, then this book is for you.

Insightful, Entertaining, and Practical
An absolutely wonderful book -- Wess Roberts has truly done it again! With a fresh synthesis of insight, humor, and practical advice, this book is a great read and a useful guide to solving one of the most perplexing challeges of everyday life: turning dysfunctional relationships into functional ones. I particularly enjoyed his analyses of "Imperious Jerks: Masters of the Universe," "Androids: ...

Create an atmosphere of trust, competency and reward ...
Most people today think of Attila the Hun as an evil, ruthless barbarian, but this is a shallow and ill-informed take on his life and many successful campaigns. Attila had a great love for his people, and maintained only modest comforts for himself. He used his war chest to empower his tribe and his people. Attila does not discriminate based on age, sex or race, but forms his judgements based ...

Great for the Trek Fan, Not So Much for the Casual Fan
The great thing about this book is that it is written from the point of Captain Picard, as if he were writing a leadership textbook for new students at Starfleet Academy. In it, he recalls specific incidents (each from real episodes), and the leadership lessons learned from them. This book is not really much of a real manual or textbook in any sort of way, but more like reading short fiction. ...

You Can Learn A Lot From A Hun
While this book is over 20 years old, it is a classic read for business professionals who seek more knowledge and different points of views from business books. Leadership skills and ways to improve them are always a "hot topic". This book takes lessons from a great warrior and interprets them into stories that relate to the modern day corporate executive. If you have made it this far in ...

Kenneth Burke: Rhetoric, Subjectivity, Postmodernism (Literature, Culture, Theory)
Robert Wess

Cambridge University Press, 1996

Kenneth Burke's influence ranged across history, philosophy and the social sciences. This important study examines Burke's influence on contemporary theories of rhetoric and the subject, and explains why Burke failed to complete his Motives trilogy. Burke's own critique of the "isolated unique individual" led him to question the possibility of unique individuation, thereby anticipating important elements of postmodern concepts of subjectivity. ...

Kenneth Burke and His Circles

Parlor Press, 2008

KENNETH BURKE AND HIS CIRCLES consists of original papers focusing on the intellectual circles in which Burke participated during his long career. Instead of concentrating on Burke himself, as most recent scholarship has done, this book considers Burke as one participant in a host of important overlapping intellectual movements that took place over the course of the twentieth century. Burke is considered as "in conversation" with a host of ...
