Leading Without Authority by Aditi Chopra deals with the obstacles and pit falls faced by leaders who are in a position where they have little or no authority over the people they lead. This is common position which leaders can find themselves in the today’s business environment of team based leadership and projects.

 

Aditi did a good job of describing the various situations modern leaders find themselves in. She explained the pitfalls and challenges of each.

 

She explained in detail the various leadership styles that different leaders use to function and manage their business. Then she took each style and applied it to the issue of leading without authority.

 

I found the book well written and easy to read. It was informative and well thought-out. Because of its short length, approximately 52 pages depending on format, the book is ideal for the busy leader on the run.

 

I recommend Leading Without Authority by Aditi Chopra.

How to Soar Like an Eagle in a World Full of Turkeys by Robert Stevenson is an excellent motivational guide for both business leaders and everyday people. It is full of tips and suggestions which are applicable in all aspects of life.

The author did a great job of putting this book together so that it is both informative and fun to read. In its clear, concise format it is easy to read and follow. The tips and suggestions are presented with many real life examples and are easy to understand.

I really enjoyed reading this book; it is not dry and boring like most self-help motivational books. It is full of humor and wit which makes the tips come alive and seem more applicable to my life.

I highly recommend this book to all readers whether a season business leader or a student still working through high school.

Welcome to the world of cut-throat, backstabbing, power grabbing big business and corporate greed. Dare Not Blink by Gerald Gillis is a fictitious account of this world and the lives it affects.

I really enjoyed this novel in part because of its realism and true similarities to the real world of corporate greed and ambition. I think I like it so much because it brought up memories of stepping on people and being stepped on in my life. I could remember how it felt to be stab in the back and thrown under the bus by work “friends”.

Gerald Gillis did an excellent job of developing the storyline and stuck to the main theme throughout all of the twist and turns. It was easy to follow and very believable. Once I started reading I had trouble putting the book down.

The characters were believable and easy to identify with. I like the way the author developed each character; I could feel the emotions and the pain each went through with their rise and fall.

I really enjoyed Dare Not Blink by Gerald Gillis and I highly recommend it to all readers.

“Job Seekers’ Attitude Adjustment Guide” by Sidney W. Frost is an excellent reference book for all job seekers. It is well written and easy to follow.

Having been through two long job search campaigns while unemployed I can tell you his recommendation are right on target. His step by step approach to planning a successful job search will be a great benefit to you, whether you are unemployed looking for work or trying to make a career change. It is applicable to all age groups and career paths.

I especially like his recommendations on job search planning, progress monitoring and follow-up. Goal setting is a key component to any successful search.

I highly recommend this book.
