Published in June 2005 by the American Management Association, Time Mastery takes a fascinating, in-depth look at a surprising new leadership skill.

The CEO Refresher calls it "an excellent book and one of the best of the year!"

Movies to Manage By
A good film can also teach. Charles Foster Kane, the tragic protagonist of Citizen Kane, is the perfect example of how hoarding power can lead to chaos in business and personal matters. Dead Poet Society's John Keating is the archetype of the employee who has affected change downward but has not solicited the support of superiors.

In this entertaining and instructive book, you will see how film is indeed an untapped source of leadership wisdom for businesses, large and small.

The Classic Touch
In Homer's day, a hostile takeover meant blood and arrows, not mergers and layoffs-yet The Iliad is a valuable guide for steering the right course in today's tricky business world. Shakespeare's King Lear has more to say about succession, delegation, and decentralization than do most management texts. And Thoreau's "Walden" offers astute observations on what can happen when an organization gets too big.

This award-winning book offers a truly rich understanding of the art of leading.
