Excellent, helpful, informative, and humorous. Loved it. Played it for many of my friends and children. Everyone that has heard it said they wished they had listened to this earlier. An inexpensive, excellent buy. A must for everyone.
Some good, helpful material, but would have liked more on the CD 4 out of 5 stars.

A very entertaining and educational recording about conquering debt. Dave Ramsey offers an often funny approach to steps one can take to manage debt. I thought it did go a little long into some of his illustrations (a little too much about cars for my interest) but the actual guidance and steps given were helpful and practical. As a result of hearing this recording I am curious to research more of Dave Ramsey's material.
Great Driving information 4 out of 5 stars.

360 Degree Leader Review (Nursing Leadership) 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
The author of The 360° Leader: Developing Your Influence from Anywhere in the Organization, John C. Maxwell, is noted authority on leadership. For nearly 30 years he has addressed audiences worldwide on leadership principles and has authored more than 40 books including the 2 million sellers Developing the Leader Within You and The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. Dr. Maxwell is founder of EQUIP, a nonprofit organization dedicated to training leaders worldwide and INJOY Stewardship Services among many other organizations devoted to training and developing leaders. This review shall cover only The 360° Leader: Developing Your Influence from Anywhere in the Organization published in Nashville, TN by Thomas Nelson, Inc. The text was purchased at [...] for $[...] plus shipping and handling of $[...]. It comes with a complementary on-line self assessment survey accessed by using a pre-printed PIN code. The PIN code was printed on the book jacket, but was not found easily. The on-line self assessment survey was user friendly and directs users to personal strengths and weaknesses. The book includes references such as training material for organizations and teams as well as a list of references for in text citations.
In The 360° Leader, Dr. Maxwell challenges his readers to reconsider leadership. He proposes leadership is not a function of position, but rather a consequence of influence. A 360° leader is one who is leading successfully from the middle of the organization- influencing others in every direction: up, down, and across. Despite the expanse of contemporary literature on leadership today, Maxwell has found a way to reframe and re-conceptualized middle leadership . His target audience is all who are not at the very top, nor at the very bottom of any organizational structure (this includes corporate as well as volunteer organizations).
Maxwell begins by challenging several myths commonly held about leadership including the myths of position, destination, influence, inexperience, freedom, potential, and "all or nothing". He introduces a leadership identification tool which he calls "The five levels of leadership". This tool identifies levels of leadership based on the relational dynamics between the leader and those whom they presume to lead. In Section II, the author identifies several challenges facing 360° leaders. The first challenge is the tension challenge in which Maxwell describes the discord between performance expectations or responsibilities and actual authority. Secondly, he describes the frustration challenge of following an ineffective leader. In the multi-hat challenge he describes methods to overcome competing priorities. The ego challenge discusses how to overcome the temptation to undervalue one's own contribution to the organization based on position or recognition (or lack thereof). The fulfillment challenge tackles the question of finding purpose and fulfillment that's not predicated upon one's organizational position but rather one's personal disposition. Finally, he speaks to the challenge of championing a vision that is not one's own and addresses influencing and leading others beyond one's organizational position.
In Section III, Maxwell delves into 9 leadership principles needed to govern oneself in order to lead up. Section highlights are first and foremost leading oneself exceptionally well, lightening your leaders load, and possessing the willingness to do what other will or can not.
In Sections IV and V, the author describes leadership principles for influencing across (that is to say one's peers) and down (one's subordinates). In Section VI, he describes the value of 360° leaders. Finally he closes the book with a word to senior level management about creating an environment which promotes and inspires 360° leaders.
The author's style of writing comes across very logical and succinct in that he first defines the presumed perspective of his target audience wherein he attempts to build trust by communicating a sense of understanding of shared challenges and frustrations. Building on a foundation of mutual understanding, he offers words of wisdom for leading from the middle, framing it in such a way that by the end of the book one would be excited about the challenges and victories won as a 360° leader!
At 308 pages, the language of the text is simple enough that one with minimal formal education may understand it, yet scholarly enough that it does not come across as condescending and remedial. He uses strategically placed humor to make certain points and even encloses surprise lessons on parenting and personal relationships. These lessons go down smoothly when chased with Maxwell's practical wisdom and sound reason. Throughout each lesson, Maxwell inserts great one-liners on leadership. Whether it's his own, or borrowed from a trusted source, each phrase solidifies a lesson on leadership. These on-liners make the text useful for reference, skimming for a quick refresher, or with no more than a glance, regaining much needed perspective.
The author uses a broad range of 360° leaders as exemplars of applied 360° leadership principles. He uses leaders from diversified cultures, occupations and levels of positional authority to make each point. This tactic is useful for offering his readers a point of contact with whom they might identify.
It is also noteworthy that throughout the text, Maxwell lauds his own 360° leaders by name and offers very public praise for a job well done. In this, he models his own leadership principle "Lead Down Principle # 5: Model the Behavior You Want" and the behavior he encourages for senior leaders to "reward leadership initiative"- one of the 12 activities suggested to unleash the leadership potential within an organization.
Overall this book is well executed, relevant, and timely. It is sure to be useful in years to come.

Excellent value 4 out of 5 stars.

This is my first, but won't be my last, experience with Coach in a Box. Dr. G. is in his usual form (obviously speaking to a live audience) but this material, in this form, is probably not for those uninitiated to TOC. An outstanding supplement to William Dettmer's Systems book on TOC.
A clear explanation 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
This e-book reminds us Goldratt's literary style: clear, brief and precise.
After reading/listening to this lecture, I fell like I could run any facility in the world far better than the current management does.
This author delivers such a clear vision that by the moment we close the book we could train an audience on this subject.
Broad & insightful 4 out of 5 stars.

Opening with a tour-de-force of insightful simplicity, Beyond The Goal goes on to explore many aspects of business activity with Dr. Goldratt's custom disciplined thinking. Though I have not come through his excellent speaking with a clear understanding of the Theory Of Constraints, I heard many other ideas and had a pleasant time doing so. He covers a straight-forward process for implementing TOC within an hesitant organisation, as well as providing a brilliant technique for validating any effort to apply new technology in business.

I have just started listening to "Lead the Field" and am only a few chapters into it. So far I hang on every word. This is my 2nd book by Earl Nightingale - the first was "The Strangest Secret". Simply delighted with both. He has an engaging, captivating way of sharing his inspiring words. I would recommend it to anyone.
Editorial Review:
IF THE GRASS IS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE...It's probably getting better care. Success is not a matter of luck or circumstance. It's not a matter of fate or the breaks you get or who you know.
Success is a matter of sticking to a set of commonsense principles anyone can master. In Lead the Field Earl Nightingale explains these guidelines: the magic word in life is ATTITUDE. It determines your actions, as well as the actions of others. It tells the world what you expect from it. When you accept responsibility for your attitude, you accept responsibility for your entire life.
Earl Nightingale -- the "Dean of Development" -- offers you a treasure trove of uplifting and insightful information like:
* The importance of forgiveness
* How "intelligent objectivity" can improve your professional life
* The usefulness of constructive discontent
Now it's your turn to bring positive changes to your own life, changes that will allow you to lead the field yourself!
