Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Dont

BEST business book Ive EVER read!

Many business books have highlighted on some of these themes:
1) charismatic leader, 2) overnight success story, 3) a defining moment, initiative, or revelation, 4) visionary technology strategy, 5) B-school buzzwords (such as first-mover advantage)

Collins explains that these traits are NOT characteristics of Good-to-Great companies, but rather practices of the laggards. Most authors describe a recent success story, but it usually amounts to nothing more than ego, charisma, opinion, or implementation of the latest fad. Collins, instead, provides references to thousands of pages of documented research to PROVE his point.

Collins describes how 11 mediocre companies, across different industries and over various time periods, implemented similar practices to drastically outperform the market and transform themselves into great companies.

Fish! A Remarkable Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results

Energize Your Work Group and Your Relationships

Put as simply as possible, FISH is a fun book. Because it offers a new perspective for finding enjoyment at work, I highly recommend it. Share it with the people you work with and youll find it will add a pleasant new dimension to your work environment. But its possible to add even more. I followed the advice of an earlier reviewer who recommended buying WINNING WAYS: FOUR SECRETS FOR GETTING GREAT RESULTS BY WORKING WELL WITH PEOPLE, by Dick Lyles. Im glad I did. By giving Lyles book to our team along with FISH, we have created a truly dramatic transformation in everyones attitude toward work and toward each other. FISH shows how to have good healthy fun, and WINNING WAYS shows how to maintain respectful, yet effective work relationships. Its impossible to stress too much how powerful this combination has been in improving attitudes, relationships, and perhaps most important - the overall performance and satisfaction of everyone. No matter what your job or where you fit in the organization, FISH and WINNING WAYS will help you find more fun and satisfaction and will enhance your personal effectiveness in dealing with others.

Where Is Babys Belly Button? A Lift-the-Flap Book

Great fun for baby and parents!

This is a nice sturdy book with colorful drawings of babies with some part of their body hidden. Each page asks, "Where is babys ...?" Toddlers delight in lifting the flaps to find the hidden pictures. The pictures are bright and cute with eye-catching fabric and wallpaper patterns. A very attractive book, and perfect for that stage when toddlers become fascinated with their belly buttons! My 17 month old has really enjoyed this book. It can be very helpful in getting kids to name body parts, and its fun for both the baby and the parents to read. Highly recommended.

Guess How Much I Love You

My sons first book, I read it to him even before hes born.

Very sweet, touching and reflects the love that my baby is born with. When I was pregnant with my now 5 month old baby boy, my husband and I bought this book and every now and then I read it to him. I was deeply touch by it that I often end with tears in my eyes wishing I could cuddle him at that time. And now, we enjoy reading it together at bedtime while I feel every words, he enjoyed listening to me and looking at the cute pictures.We always ended up,together with my husband, the three of us cuddling each other. Its a perfect book for babies to begin with and also for parents to grow old with...unconditional boundless love. I love you Babes and Pumpkin pie right up to the moon and back!! ages4-8
