Ultimate Leadership: Winning Execution Strategies for Your Situation:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00142AP9E
Go Beyond Generic Leadership: Become an Outstanding Leader in Your Unique
Environment
To succeed, leaders must understand and apply the core principles of
leadership--but that's not enough. You need to shape your approach for any
unique situation. Too many leaders don't know how to do that--and that's why
they fail. Ultimate Leadership shows how to adapt the principles of
leadership to different challenges, contexts, and organizations.
Russell E. Palmer--who has had three very different, highly successful
careers as head of one of the world's largest accounting firms, Dean of the
Wharton School, and an entrepreneur--helps you identify the leadership model
most appropriate for your environment, and how to lead accordingly. You'll
learn better ways to lead your equals, help an organization weather crises,
transform its culture, lead entrepreneurial organizations, lead global
organizations...even lead non-profit and academic institutions.
Then, drawing on interviews with an extraordinary spectrum of outstanding
leaders, Palmer helps you master the attribute every leader must have: the
ability to inspire your unique organization, even in the face of the most
daunting challenges.

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
It takes more than conventional wisdom to start a business. How do you
handle your husband wanting sex, the bank denying your small business loan
for the third time, or creditors coming after your house? What if your kid's
big school play is tonight and your top employee just resigned? One more
straw and the camel's back will break.
Divas Doing Business arms women business owners with the tools and firepower
to tackle the unique situations that will test their resolve, strength, and
spirit as they start and manage businesses. With the foreword by Oscar-
winning actor Morgan Freeman, Divas Doing Business features profiles and
interviews with a powerful, diverse lineup of women entrepreneurs. This book
complements the traditional how-to guides and "fills the spaces in between"
with a fresh, unique angle on entrepreneurship.
The author will donate a portion of the book's sales proceeds to PLAN!T NOW,
Morgan Freeman's charity that provides assistance and education to victims
of natural disasters. For more information about PLAN!T NOW, visit www.

Product Description
"Comprehensive, readable, and replete with current, useful examples, this
book provides a much-needed explanation of how to be a critical consumer of
the scientific claims we encounter in our everyday lives."
--April Cordero Maskiewicz, Department of Biology, Point Loma Nazarene
University
"Seethaler's book helps the reader look inside the workings of science and
gain a deeper understanding of the pathway that is followed by a scientific
finding--from its beginnings in a research lab to its appearance on the
nightly news."
--Jim Slotta, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of
Toronto
"How I wish science was taught this way! Seethaler builds skills for
critical thinking and evaluation. The book is rich with examples that not
only illustrate her points beautifully, they also make it very interesting
and fun to read."
--Julia R. Brown, Director, Targacept, Inc.
Don't Get Hoodwinked! Make Sense of Health and Science News...and Make
Smarter Decisions!
Every day, there's a new scientific or health controversy. And every day,
it seems as if there's a new study that contradicts what you heard yesterday
. What's really going on? Who's telling the truth? Who's faking it? What do
scientists actually know-and what don't they know? This book will help you
cut through the confusion and make sense of it all-even if you've never
taken a science class! Leading science educator and journalist Dr. Sherry
Seethaler reveals how science and health research really work...how to put
scientific claims in context and understand the real tradeoffs involved...
tell quality research from junk science...discover when someone's
deliberately trying to fool you...and find more information you can trust!
Nobody knows what new controversy will erupt tomorrow. But one thing's for
certain: With this book, you'll know how to figure out the real deal-and
make smarter decisions for yourself and your family!
Watch the news, and you'll be overwhelmed by snippets of badly presented
science: information that's incomplete, confusing, contradictory, out-of-
context, wrong, or flat-out dishonest. Defend yourself! Dr. Sherry Seethaler
gives you a powerful arsenal of tools for making sense of science. You'll
learn how to think more sensibly about everything from mad cow disease to
global warming--and how to make better science-related decisions in both
your personal life and as a citizen.
You'll begin by understanding how science really works and progresses, and
why scientists sometimes disagree. Seethaler helps you assess the possible
biases of those who make scientific claims in the media, and place
scientific issues in appropriate context, so you can intelligently assess
tradeoffs. You'll learn how to determine whether a new study is really
meaningful; uncover the difference between cause and coincidence; figure out
which statistics mean something, and which don't.
Seethaler reveals the tricks self-interested players use to mislead and
confuse you, and points you to sources of information you can actually rely
upon. Her many examples range from genetic engineering of crops to drug
treatments for depression...but the techni...
