John C. Maxwell offers lively stories about the foibles and successes of Lee Iacocca, Abraham Lincoln, Princess Diana, and Elizabeth Dole in The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. Readers can expect a well-crafted discussion that emphasizes the core attitudes and visions of leadership. Maxwell uses the same tell-it-like-it-is approach that he honed in the bestselling Developing the Leader Within You. For instance, when explaining "The Law of Influence," Maxwell states that "job titles don't have much value when it comes to leading. True leadership cannot be awarded, appointed or assigned. It comes only from influence and that can't be mandated." Even after Princess Diana was stripped of her title, Maxwell says she was still able to lead a global effort toward banning land mines because of her sophisticated ability to influence others.

If readers are looking for a step-by-step formula, Maxwell's list of "laws" will probably seem too chatty and anecdote driven. There are no specific tips on what readers can do during the next workday to help them become stronger leaders. On the other hand, Maxwell's background as a pastor gives him an inspirational voice and a spiritual context to leadership that many business and church leaders appreciate. --Gail Hudson

Book Description

What would happen if a top expert with more than thirty years of leadership experience were willing to distill everything he had learned about leadership into a handful of life-changing principles just for you? It would change your life.

John C. Maxwell has done exactly that in The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. He has combined insights learned from his thirty-plus years of leadership successes and mistakes with observations from the worlds of business, politics, sports, religion, and military conflict. The result is a revealing study of leadership delivered as only a communicator like Maxwell can.

This book is a easy read but with a lot of insightful information. Its great for those who want to improve their leadership abilities or just learn to be a more accomplished person.

Read it For Life.......2007-02-09

In this book Maxwell provides 21 laws or principles to abide by in any leadership position. I think he's right in stating that if you follow these laws, people will follow you. Each chapter is clear and concise with great experiences from his life and the lives of other great leaders. This is definitely a book that I will read again when confronted with new leadership positions and opportunities. No matter what stage in life you're in, there is something in this book for you.

Business Law-Smith and Roberson.......2003-10-05

This book is well-organized and written. It covers the major
subject areas for the CPA exam thoroughly. There is more than
adequate treatment in the areas of contract law, sales
transactions, agency, partnerships, corporate formation and
the minor subject areas of the CPA examination. There is good
coverage of legal foundations with ample exercises to develop
the legal concepts presented. This work should be retained for
use as a reference guide. In addition, it is easy to read and understand.

Concise, and usually accurate, with good examples.......1998-09-06

A good overview of US law. There are issues which are matters of opinion and not explained well enough (ex. ethics), and perhaps needn't be addressed at all in a law book. The examples and the references make it a worthy purchase overall.

Be prepared to get stuck without the book and still get the bill. Customer service is outsourced to India and is no help even if you could understand them. 4 wks and counting and still no promised refund.

This book is an easy read. It has tons of useful information. I would recommend this book.

New Edition is Better.......2005-12-05

There is a new edition (the fifth) for this book, and it is better than the edition shown here. While avoiding a polemical view, Baron illustrates business ethical priciples with very poignant examples and stories. The case studies are very up to date and fun to read. More than that, though, the case studies can form a basis for classroom debate and discussion which not only brings the material to life but also promotes critical thinking and articulation among students.

I liked it very much, and recommend it highly.

The book for dilettante readers.......2002-01-21

The author provided some good examples demonstrating a picture of business and its environment. People who have exposed to Industrial Organization (or at least some levels of application of game theory) will get bored of all arguments without mentioning anything about its quantitative aspect.

Pretty Easy Reading.......1999-05-30

I've read a good chunk of this book during a B-school elective on non-market strategies, and found it imparted some valuable information. It's not very prescriptive if that's what you're looking for. But it made me feel like I got something out of the class despite an unstellar professor.

The IBC more than just another building code.......2006-03-22

The IBC is the long-time-coming consolidation of the three major building codes in the US and there is nothing "international" about it. Back in the 70's the 3 code organizations formed BOCA and put out a 1 & 2 family dwelling code. The 3 members them gradually made changes to the individual building codes that brought them into similar formats, then they combined them into one code in 2000, the IBC, and modified the dwelling code to be the IRC (Int. Residential Code)and changed the organization's name to the ICC, the Int. Code Council. There little to review about the content since it is either the law in your area or it is not. For comparisons to previous codes and other information try the ICC's website http://www.iccsafe.org/

A Strucural Engineer's Necessity.......2005-09-06

It is pretty difficult to review a specification that you must have.

49 states are now adopting this Code.......2003-09-07

Better learn this code. Local codes are being swept away by one standard. Here is Colorado each town had its own test, amendments and licensing system. California is the only state, having revamped its code 2 years ago, to keep its system.
I finish basements, often for homeowners who think they can do it. From Loveland, I can work any city without irate inspectors wondering why I don't know their specific requirements. Good book.

Book Description

Bennett-Alexander and Hartman’s, Employment Law for Business, 4/e, addresses law and employment decisions from a managerial perspective. It is intended to instruct students on how to manage effectively and efficiently with full comprehension of the legal ramifications of their decisions. Students are shown how to think and analyze employment law facts using concrete examples of management-related legal dilemmas without clear-cut solutions. The methods of arriving at resolutions are emphasized, so that when the facts of the workplace problem are not quite the same, the student can still reach a good decision based on the legal considerations required by law, which remain relevant.

Customer Reviews:

One-sided approach to regulation.......2004-08-04

I would have preferred a text that merely reported employers' compliance obligations in an objective manner, rather than portraying employers as the enemy. I generally found the text to be highly politicized and, to some extent, anti-management. This book does little to bridge the gap between the business community and academia.

Employment Law for business.......2004-01-07

As an attorney, manager, and teacher of human resources professionals, I recommend this book. I found that thie information was thoroughly researched. I also appreciated that the legal information was presented in a business context so that managers who are not lawyers could understand the information and readily appy it to real life workplace problems.

Useful Book........2003-06-22

This is an interesting,informative and useful book. I used it for school and it will be one book that I keep. Great case studies.

Employment Law.......2003-02-17

I think the book is so liberal and it advocate large government. Freedom is not through following the forced laws like affirmative action, ADA, etc. but having a choice especially in employment. Employer should have the say on what they want and who they want to work and not work. The book pretty much tells you that this is the law and its good for you ,so follow or else.
That is socialistic.
We are giving more power to the government to tie us down with more laws and regulation. Their responsibility is to protect the citizens and not to do business. That's for the private sector.

Good book for in the class and in the office.......2003-02-15

This book gives a good comprehensive look at the mountain of law and regulations encountering employees in both the public and private sector. The examples in the beginning of each chapter are very useful as well as the actual cases used to exemplify how the law has been applied to real-world situations.

The developments that have created these extraordinary investment opportunities have also created tremendous demand for professionals with experience and knowledge in the restructuring process.

Extremely helpful in preparing our new hires - it is required reading. This book will be a desk reference for years to come.

Great & Comprehensive Practical Review.......2007-01-05

Unlike many academic books, this is a practical analysis of distressed debt, the bankruptcy process, and all the related financial, accounting and valuation issues that arise in this context. It is well written and well organized.

Some other books on the topic go into significantly more detail in esoteric issues; however this book is a must for a grounded detailed understanding of the topic. I have recommended this book to a number of colleagues in the industry and all were equally appreciative.

must buy.......2006-03-14

It's a must buy for people in high-yield/distressed analysis. I was suggested this book at my first day at work.

A Complete Introduction .......2005-11-02

The premise of this book is really quite simple.

Identify securities (bonds, stocks or whatever) from companies that are in trouble. Buy these securities when other investors are ignoring or even selling them. Then when the company gets turned around, you can make a fortune. What you don't want to do is buy these securities only to see the companies go out of business so that your securities are now completely worthless.

As you might guess from the title, this book is about how to analyze distressed companies that offer this potential investment path. It covers virtually every aspect of finding such companies, determining if the proposed investment is feasible, explains the differences in the company going through one of the various bankruptcy procedures, the legal and financial due diligence issues, and more. The final result is a set of basic investment strategies and analytical techniques, complete with case studies and referrences to numerous real-world examples to emphasize important concepts and critical issues.

Along with the book is a companion web site that offers additional information, checklists, sample letters, and more.

This book is a complete introduction to this new and emerging field.

Valuable insights, useful commentary, and professionally written........2005-10-22

Like many of us, perhaps you've owned some bonds that have fallen into junk status or worse, distress/bankruptcy. In most cases, did you throw up your arms either selling at a loss or confused by smallprint mail solicitations? Stephen Moyer is an absolute pro and de-mystifies what some may think of as a blackbox only understood by investment specialists, asset pirates, and/or bankruptcy lawyers.

Conversely, if you are a professional and seeking to augment your understanding, Moyer provides insightful commentary on areas like negotiation leverage points, key area to control, legal bounds of control, pre & post-bankruptcy valuation approaches, and comparisons to real deals done recently in the marketplace. Most of his examples are from 1998-2003, and he tries to use contemporary issues to highlight arguments. Unfortunately, you will not find the most recent Bankruptcy Code reforms which commenced Oct 17, 2005. For instance, he states on page 77 that management can "...extend the [bankruptcy] exclusivity period virtually indefinitely...", which today is essentially limited to 18 months. Although a shortcoming to the book, any professional investor would have access to materials to become up-to-date on the recent reforms.

Moyer's CV reads long: Stanford Law, Chicago MBA, CFA, CPA, and Drexel Lambert heritage. Obviously, he knows what he is talking about. His writing interests do seem to be lawyer-ly; for instance, he spends an inordinate amount of time explaining issues around confidentiality agreements and duties. But, I appreciated his clear and concise style and sentences. No arrogance in his style nor is he trying to sell his current firm.

Excellent book. Strongly recommend despite the price.

Be sure to get the second edition (2003/2004)as the first was published in 1995.

As a grad student interested in starting my own practice upon graduation, I found this book to be useless. It has been reprinted by another publishing company and its original copyright date is 1999. Between then and now - 2004 - a lot of things have changed. Therefore, I would recommend that anyone who requires current information should look elsewhere. This is a very expensive book as is not helpful at all!!!

Excellent resource for any nurse practitioner.......2002-11-09

I had the pleasure of reading this book while finishing my last year in nurse practitioner school.

Ms. Buppert is a master in defining how to negotiate business contracts.

I met the author at a nurse practioner conference in Nashville Tn and she was very down to earth and truly magnificent in her knowledge of laws affecting nurse practioners.

Book Description

In The Attractor Factor, Joe Vitale combines principles of spiritual self-discovery with proven marketing concepts to show how anyone can live a happy life in and outside of business. He shares his own quest for wealth and success while leading you through the five simple steps that will make all your aspirations, professional and personal, a reality.

Download Description

A breakthrough practical spiritual guide to achieving all your goals

For the first time ever, one of the rarely discussed formulas for building wealth and achieving success in all areas is revealed in The Attractor Factor. Popular marketing and spirituality guru Joe Vitale argues that those who try hard and fail need to remake their inner beings in order to easily attract success, wealth, and happiness. Many people do the right things but get the wrong results; it's not so much what they do, as what they are inside. The problem for most people is self-sabotage. In five easy steps, Vitale shows anyone how to become happier and more successful by doing a few simple things differently every day. Part wealth-creation guide, part spiritual road map, part autobiography, The Attractor Factor offers inspiring, effective answers for anyone who wants to feel better, be happier, get wealthier, and get ahead in life.

Joe Vitale (Wimberley, TX) is President of Hypnotic Marketing, Inc., a marketing consulting firm.

Joe Vitale does it again.......2007-06-21

Once again Joe Vitale has written a book that I found to be a "must have." Some words of caution, however: Dr. Vitale is a master at repurposing content so some of the stories and information in this book are also contained in some of his other books. They're still worth hearing/reading more than once and I find myself opening this book at random and reading from it as a reminder of how important the "inside" feelings and beliefs are to the "outside" successful life.

Great Book for Students of "The Secret" and the Law of Attraction.......2007-06-13

*****
This is not a perfect book, but it is an enjoyable and very helpful book for students of the Law of Attraction. Joe Vitale writes honestly and in a conversational style (this is a quick and easy read), discussing the Law of Attraction and how to apply it specifically to building wealth. However, he also covers attracting health, relationships, and more. The principle is the same no matter what it is applied to.

His process is distilled to 5 steps:
1. Know what you don't want.
2. Select what you do want.
3. Clear all negative or limiting beliefs.
4. Feel what it would be like to have, do, or be what you want.
5. Let go as you act on your intuitive impulses, and allow the results to manifest.

The value of the book is in the discussion as to HOW this happens, and all of the many examples the author gives. He also discusses historical resources, authors, and motivational speakers who influenced him in his personal development, so the book is full of great resources.

The best book on this topic I've read is Michael Losier's "The Law of Attraction". This book would be in the second tier after the LOA, but very, very valuable. The only criticism I have of it is that the author does plug himself and his other offerings a lot, but I mine for the gold, and there is much gold here, so I just glossed over anything I didn't need or wasn't interested in.

A Very Enjoyable Book!.......2007-05-24

We all know that there's nothing new under the sun these days. What makes this book so good is that it's motivating, inspiring and you feel like Joe is talking to you, not at you.

If you don't actively take steps to attract your desires as outlined in the book, then you can't possibly expect results. One of the highlights of the book was when Joe was describing how he manifested his dream car when he had no idea how he was going to do it. So I decided to do the same thing and here's what happened:

Before I start, I want to say that my ultimate dream car is a 500 series BMW (black). This would have represented quite a jump from the Honda Civic that I was still making payments to. So I decided to take baby steps and did exactly what Joe did (waltzed into a showroom with as much confidence he could muster and fill out the application for a new car).

While my new monthly payments only ended up being $77 a month more, it felt GREAT to drive a spanking new 07 Honda Civic! In the past, I would have allowed limiting thoughts plaque my mind (i.e. "You can't afford a new car! Are you crazy, you don't need a new car!" "What if you can't make the new monthly payments?" etc etc).

I have to say that since getting my new car, I've attracted new income in my life (i.e. more speaking engagements, donations to my "Adversity University blog and other unexpected income)!!

What Joe was trying to share was that if you simply take a risk, trust the universe to provide, then that's exactly what will happen. It's my opinion if you need to take baby steps on the way to your ultimate dream car or house or whatever it is you desire, then there's nothing wrong with that. You can't undo a lifetime's worth of limited thinking in one day. Dismantling limited thinking takes time and patience.

I've recommended this book to several of my readers at "Adversity University." It's a wonderful gem of a book to have in your library. Go and get it!

I want to add one more thing. Even though Joe doesn't say this in his book, he smokes cigars. I found out because he participated in a blogger experiment where bloggers everywhere listed at least 10 daily success habits. I wonder if he likes Montesino Toros? They are great! I smoke one because I like to sit out on my porch and contemplate how wonderful things have turned out in my life, thanks to the "Attractor Factor"!

The Attractor Factor is a must read!.......2007-05-19

A few months ago I got a copy of the Attractor Factor. I read it in two days. I was so on fire with the information I was receiving ... I could
barely sit still in my seat. It was as though a switch got flipped inside of me. It all made sense and was so simple! I knew that I could apply "The Attractor Factor" priciples. I was going to go after my dreams and create the life I'd always wanted.

I'm an artist and have always dreamed of making my living with my artistic gifts.

Not too long after reading "The Attractor Factor," I got a copy of "The
Secret" and watched it. Well ... let's just say that the fire that was
burning pretty good already turned into a bonfire!

In just three short months here is what has happened:

A huge chunk of nearly $35,000 in credit card debt was released and what
was left was consolidated into an affordable bank loan. That happened in
only three days ... and all the checks to pay off the debts were in the mail within a week.

I have had so many opportunities presenting themselves to me that I don't have time to do them all.

I've started a business painting murals in people's homes and have had an
excellent response. I've also attracted another artist to help me do the
work.

I have several peices of art hanging on public display, and for sale, at a local restaurant.

Abundance is beginning to flow more and more freely and my confidence to
magnetize money to me grows with each day. A woman who is starting her own art school has asked me to come and work with her to teach art to children and adults.

I have definite plans to leave my corporate job at the beginning of 2008.
And I can't wait to see what happens next. I am so excited!

I have gone from a life of despair, disappointment and depression to one of incredible joy and passion. I am remembering who I really am.

I highly recommend The Attractor Factor as a valuable learning tool for those who are ready to empower themselves and create their lives.

And here is an incredibly important bit of wisdom of which Dr. Viatle's
work has reminded me: It is hope that is ignited in the hearts of people
that is the fuel that burns the fire. Hope is the key.

If you want to live the life of your dreams ... YOU CAN DO IT! If I can do it ... you can! Just believe in yourself. You are a miracle -- treat yourself like one!

Before you know it, you'll find that your glass is always half full, that
abundance and harmony flows in all areas of your life, and that life itself is soooo good!

READ THIS BOOK.......2007-05-19

Read this book, then buy one for everyone you know! Joe Vitale is without a doubt one of the most gifted and real authors I have ever read. This book provided me with the tools to discover and change the beliefs that have limited me for 30 years. Of all the self-help, metaphysical, and even novels I have read in my life, this one stands out. Joe is a touchable person who is full of passion and delivers a message in a way that is easy to apply. Buy and read anything with this man's name on it. Thank you Joe and keep on marketing,writing and sharing.
