Robert
Apatow. The
Spiritual Art of Dialogue : Mastering Communication for Personal
Growth,
Relationships, and the Workplace
When
we express our thoughts to another in words, we express our minds and
reveal
who we truly are. From the start, then, dialogue poses a great
challenge
to us, for in dialogue we allow another to enter into this most
solitary
and private abode where our thoughts dwell.
And
when
we open up in this way, we let ourselves be seen free of the cloak of
any
physical appearance; whatever appearance we may wear in life, the
expression
of our thoughts cuts right through it and reveals the truth about us.
Understandably,
this is a risky and fearful activity that demands great courage, but it
is for these very reasons that dialogue is such a remarkably compelling
activity.
We
all are drawn to such genuine intimate revelations. In such revelations
there is a remarkable power and beauty that draws us, a power that
manifests
itself when someone is most sincere, genuine, and real.

G. Drachman. Enterprising Women:
250
Years of American Business
What
might have turned out to be a rather commercial tome, sponsored by
corporate heavyweights AT & T and Ford, has become a reference work
to consult on the topic of women in business. Drachman, the architect
of the project spearheaded by the National Heritage Museum and the
Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library, does the subject proud. Copious
research on little-known trailblazers such as Wall Street's Hetty Green
and iron-manufacturing czar Rebecca Lukens is combined with thoughtful
commentary on more modern-day icons such as Martha Stewart and Oprah
Winfrey. [from Booklist

on the wild side. Rummage through your child side. Let wonder and
innocence take you to the park to try on the shiny new roller skates of
instinct. Something in you knows how to glide. It doesn't come
from planning or foresight or lots of furrows on your brow. It comes
with a squeal and a direction for now.

Harvey
Mackay. We
Got Fired! : . . . And It's the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Us
Perhaps
a more accurate title for this upbeat volume would be: "We Got Hired
and
You Can Too!" Every one of Mackay’s interviews with the now famously
successful
(Michael Bloomberg, Muhammad Ali, Billie Jean King, Jessie Ventura,
Bernie
Marcus, etc.) ends with the subject richer for the experience of having
been fired -- both literally and figuratively. Mackay -- a syndicated
business
advice columnist and author of the 1988 bestseller Swim with the Sharks
without Being Eaten Alive -- seems to anticipate an audience of
downsized
managers for this book, but his advice is useful to anyone in the
throes
of work-related rejection, regardless of their corporate ranking.
The
combination of interviews and short essays could also serve to
introduce
workforce newbies to the realities of business life: one essay points
out
that "If You are Under Thirty, the Likelihood that You Will Be Fired in
the Next Twenty Years is 90 Percent." Mackay concludes each chapter
with
collections of quotable life slogans, such as "Your company may give
you
the boot, but don’t boot the networks that company has opened for you."
He also dishes out helpful suggestions for making the most of an exit,
along with tips from Donald Trump on how not to get fired in the first
place. [Publishers Weekly]

[Publishers
Weekly review:] Reinhold, career coach for Monster.com and director of
Smith College's career center, offers a fresh approach to job searches.
First, she recommends readers identify which of six personality types
they
most resemble, then advises they look for rewarding positions that meet
their personal needs. Featuring examples of people who created great
work
situations--e.g., by starting a business or forming a partnership--this
book is best for experienced employees seeking a change.

Jerry
Wind, et al. The Power of Impossible Thinking: Transform the Business of Your
Life and the Life of Your Business
With
fast, complex changes, making sense has become an essential skill for
managers. As John Seely Brown, former chief scientist of Xerox and
director of the Palo Alto Research Center, once commented, "In the old
world, managers make products. In the new world, managers make sense of
things." Our book is focused on how to do this better.
