| Spitzer, Quinn: HEADS YOU WIN: How the Best Companies Think
Book Number: 40650
Simon & Schuster February 17, 1997 8vo softcover 304pp very good. Quinn Spitzer and Ron Evans of the Kepner-Tregoe consulting firm believe "critical thinking" is the true route to a winning business. It is the foundation upon which all other management theories are built, they argue, but it has changed over the years in a manner that few truly understand. In Heads You Win: How The Best Companies Think, they analyze the way top corporations are now harnessing the collective brainpower in their organizations to achieve success. Management fads come and go, but there is a constant in the workplace, argue the authors (CEO and practice leader, respectively, of a Pennsylvania consulting firm): Executives need to know how to think. Specifically, they must be able to analyze situations, identify the cause of problems and quickly implement solutions, make applicable decisions and seize opportunities. The authors demonstrate here how successful companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Chrysler and British Airways carry out this process. Consistent with their belief about how to solve problems, Spitzer and Evans break down each step into small bites, using a straightforward approach that recognizes that management books need not be deadly dull. "The initial objective of problem solving is not to solve the problem, but to keep from doing something stupid," they advise. They even provide a lengthy appendix that contains dozens of questions and forms to use in spurring critical thinking. When a new business buzzword is created every few months, a reminder of the importance of the basics is refreshing.

| Wheatley, Margaret J.: Leadership and the New Science: Learning About Organization from an Orderly Universe
Book Number: 41299
Berrett-Koehler Publishers March 1994 8vo softcover 166pp very good. How do you hold 100 tons of water in the air with no visible means of support? Wheatley answers this question (you build a cloud, of course) and many others, ranging from cutting-edge science to the new paradigm of 21st-century organizations, that are just as enigmatic. Using exciting breakthroughs in biology, chemistry, and especially quantum physics, Wheatley paints a brand-new picture of business management. Paradoxes abound in this far-reaching work that may confound many pragmatists. This new relationship between business and science is nothing less than an entirely new set of lenses through which to view our organizations, offering not a Newtonian but a quantum perspective. Hold onto the top of your head when you read this book.

| Yarnell, Rene Reid: The New Entrepreneurs: Making a Living-Making a Life Through Network Marketing
Book Number: 41564
Quantum Leap October 1999 8vo softcover 270pp very good. Index. In "The New Entrepreneurs," Rene Reid Yarnell raises poignant issues being faced by a growing number of professional men and women across the nation and around the world. With so little security in the workplace, the aftermath of downsizing on both those fired and those left behind, women hitting glass ceilings, workers not paid their worth and saving little or nothing toward retirement, with employee agitation on the rise, more and more workers are looking outside of corporate America for more suitable alternatives. As the corporate executive was the hero of the 20th century, Ms. Reid Yarnell proposes that, with the advancement of technology and the World Wide Web, the entrepreneur will be revered in the 21st century. But it will be a new entrepreneur, not one climbing corporate ladders, nor satisfied merely with amassing financial accomplishments. The 21st century entrepreneur will also seek the balance of lifestyle freedom, self-mastery, and personal fulfillment and find it working from home. Not only employees but employers are candidates for this new form of entrepreneurialism, tired of measuring their success by what they gave up to get it. They realize that having their own business takes more money and time than they'd budgeted; they can never get away on vacation and leave the business behind; Friday payroll is not an option; and an increasing number of startups are going under. What if, asks the author: you could have a business of your own...you could work at home...it didnt require a vast amount of startup cost...it requires no employees...you are in business for yourself but not by yourself...you inherit an experienced team who train you...you have an unrestricted earning potential...it has the ability to become a passive, residual income...you can determine your own schedule and prioritize your own life events...and you have the resources to contribute toward causes that are reflective of your values? nnThis emerging profession that has the potential to meet all of these criteria is called network marketing. What is that, you ask? It is a form of distribution of products and services that, through word of mouth promotion, uses the power of duplication of effort. Unlike conventional marketing that generally has a few representatives responsible for large volumes of sales, this form of marketing has large numbers of representatives responsible for a small number of sales. It is a form of direct selling in which the distributors are compensated on a multi-level basis as opposed to a more traditional single-level pay plan. The entrepreneurs who will carry us across the threshold of this new era will be legions of network marketers, waving the banner that signals our inalienable rights to lifestyle freedom, personal fulfillment, and financial peace of mind. This remarkable industry, the author predicts, will be responsible for changing social trends over the next few decades. Spending more time working from home, which is part of the explosive trend today, these entrepreneurs will be better mothers and fathers; they will reestablish priorities and create lives with a more elevated sense of purpose and fulfillment; and with more capital in the hands of responsible individuals, countless people will make more money than they ever dreamed, with many of them using their newfound wealth for altruistic causes. In "The New Entrepreneurs," you will be given guidance in deciding if you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur, discerning whether the network marketing industry is right for you, selecting the right company, evaluating a compensation plan, joining an effective team, the unique challenges women face in network marketing, how to work in this business as a family, the evolution of the industry, and be exposed to the most frequently asked questions and their responses.
