The Art And Discipline Of Strategic Leadership 4 reviews
Mike Freedman, Benjamin B. Tregoe
American Media International, 2005
Effective Strategic Thinking
I have long believed that any organization without a cogent strategy is vulnerable. Too much strategic thinking these days is driven, in my opinion, by a desire to appeal to Wall Street investment bankers and analysts or by a dot.bomb-fueled fear of failure. Strategy is a two-headed prong. It is creative enough to fashion a vision, while being disciplined enough to drive the vision into ...

terrific short stories from Field & Stream, with great
adventures of all aspects of the outdoors. It also has
classic illustrations of old F&S covers. I'd recommend
this as a must have for any outdoorsman's library.

At The Grave Of The Unknown Fisherman 7 reviews
John Gierach
American Media International, 2005
Observant, wry & well written notes on the fishing life
It is amazing that John Gierach can keep putting out interesting books on essentially the same topic without getting very repetitious. This is another compilation of essays in a long series chronicling his fishing life and the issues that have impact upon it. His first book, Trout Bum, established his persona...a trout-obsessed fly-fisher who puts everything in life second to the sport. Whether ...

The Articulate Executive: Learn to Look, Act and Sound Like a Leader1 review
Granville N. Toogood
American Media International, 2003
Good content - Reader has annoying voice
The content of the audio CD is excellent. The reader's voice is ear piercing and sounds like a computer generated voice. It was very hard to force myself to listen to the CD's because of his voice but once I did I was glad. Hopefully they'll come out with another version with a different reader.

Each chapter was profound enough to transform a troubled family, yet simple enough to be adopted with ease. It was delightful to read, yet very clear and concise in its guidance. I plan to read it each year as it will remind me of what is most important in my family.
