What's New? I recently read It's Your Ship: Management Techniques from the Best Damn Ship in the Navy by Capt. D. Michael Abrashoff (Warner Books, 2002). This book is a wealth of solid ideas about how to have a great influence on others. It's highly entertaining and a quick read. What I like best is that Abrashoff comes across as a leader with real humanity as well as sharp business acumen. And the techniques he used to achieve excellence aren't costly or complex. Valuable for anyone, this book is a "must read" for you if you have direct reports. -- Joyce Leadership Resources Fast Company | Management, Leadership and Career Advice for Business Executives Business Books including Articles and Case Studies from Harvard Business School Publishing Journal of Small Business Strategy USASBE --- United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship Welcome to the World Future Society Information Resources On-line psychological tests – cognitive style The Library Index US Census Bureau Business Resources Brainstorm Business Services - Affordable, Flexible, Creative Just for Fun |

Recommended Reading Note from Joyce ... You'll see from this list that, while I'm reading new material all the time, I'm not willing to abandon some of the classics that have really influenced my thinking and work over the years. I hope you also appreciate some of these "must reads" for better understanding how to lead and get along with people and prosper in your organizational life. This short list is just a starting point!
