In looking at the 26 principles, MacArthur paints a picture of a well-rounded leader that not only demonstrates excellence and confidence, but also focuses on a leader's humility, interpersonal characteristics, and stamina. 

A really great read for both junior and experienced leaders.  Highly recommend The Book on Leadership.

I know, a few of the flatteners may not be intuitively obvious when you just read the title.  I just need you to trust me; there are some terrific insights as to how innovative companies like Microsoft, UPS (yes, I said UPS!), Google, and Wal-Mart are redefining the world landscape and bringing the ends of the earth closer together.   Following is a well-done review written by a colleague at Amazon:

Thomas L. Friedman is not so much a futurist, which he is sometimes called, as a presentist. His aim in The World Is Flat, as in his earlier, influential Lexus and the Olive Tree, is not to give you a speculative preview
of the wonders that are sure to come in your lifetime, but rather to get you caught up on the wonders that are already here. The world isn't going to be flat, it is flat, which gives Friedman's breathless narrative much of its
urgency, and which also saves it from the Epcot-style polyester sheen that futurists--the optimistic ones at least--are inevitably prey to.      

What Friedman means by "flat" is "connected": the lowering of trade and  political barriers and the exponential technical advances of the digital revolution that have made it possible to do business, or almost anything else, instantaneously with billions of other people across the planet. This in itself should not be news to anyone. But the news that Friedman has to deliver is that just when we stopped paying attention to these developments--when the dot-com bust turned interest away from the business and technology pages and when 9/11 and the Iraq War turned all eyes toward the Middle East--is when they actually began to accelerate. Globalization 3.0, as he calls it, is driven not by major corporations or giant trade organizations like the World Bank, but by individuals: desktop freelancers and innovative startups all over the world (but
especially in India and China) who can compete--and win--not just for low-wage manufacturing and information labor but, increasingly, for the highest-end research and design work as well. (He doesn't forget the "mutant supply chains" like Al-Qaeda that let the small act big in more destructive ways.)      
 
Friedman has embraced this flat world in his own work, continuing to report on his story after his book's release and releasing an unprecedented hardcover update of the book a year later with 100 pages of revised and expanded material. What's changed in a year? Some of the sections that opened eyes in the first edition--on China and India, for example, and the global supply chain--are largely unaltered. Instead, Friedman has more to say about what he now calls "uploading," the direct-from-the-bottom creation of culture, knowledge, and innovation through blogging, podcasts, and open-source software. And in response to the pleas of many of his readers about how to survive the new flat world, he makes specific recommendations about the technical and creative training he thinks will be required to compete in the "New Middle" class. As before,
Friedman tells his story with the catchy slogans and globe-hopping anecdotes that readers of his earlier books and his New York Times columns know well, and he holds to a stern sort of optimism. He wants to tell you how exciting this new world is, but he also wants you to know you're going to be trampled if you don't
keep up with it. A year later, one can sense his rising impatience that our popular culture, and our political leaders, are not helping us keep pace.

Again, a truly terrific and insightful book. Can't recommend it more highly.

One of the most foundational aspects of the Covey book for me was the development of a personal mission statement.  It actually took me ten years to crystallize on a mission statement as I was going through Rick
Warren's The Purpose Driven Life that I could truly internalize and get energized around.  The Covey book was the mustard seed which started the ball rolling for me.

The book goes into a lot of detail on each of the goose attributes and frames up each attribute with great examples to help you the reader identify where you might be falling short as a goose leader.  Some of my favorites:

• Buffalo management:  The people propose, the manager disposes
• Goose management:  The people propose, the people dispose
• Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly, at least in the beginning
• See mistakes, fear, anger and stubbornness as great teachers for the future
• See mistakes as gems for learning and not as sins
• Coach people, not scoreboards
• Proactively insist on meeting tough standards
• Ask questions and avoid giving answers
• Reward accomplishment, not effort
• World-class rescuers are world-class losers
• The person doing the work must own the responsibility

I love this book.  Though it does border a bit on being too steeped in academia, the concepts are sound and are great building blocks for enabling empowered leaders.  Read Flight of the Buffalo and pull the nuggets from the book that will help you be a leader that empowers great teams.

Probably the most salient points made about Zapping others is the following:
1.Maintain self esteem - treat others with respect
2.Listen and respond with empathy - don't be dismissive of others problems or issues, demonstrate that you care
3.Ask for help in solving problems - seek out opinions of team members and get them to put their thumbprint on solutions
4.Offer help without taking responsibility - let team members benefit from your wisdom; don't assume responsibility for their problems

For leaders to successfully foster a Zapped environment, they need to do the following:
1.Set clear direction (key result areas, goals, and measurements)
2.Ensure the team has knowledge (skills, training and information to do the job)
3.Ensure the team has the resources (tools, materials, facilities, money)
4.Provide support for the team (approval, coaching, feedback, encouragement)

I love this book.  It's a very easy read, keeps the reader engaged, and has very insightful nuggets to help you understand the difference between empowering a team versus just managing the team.  If you want to be a
more empowering leader, then Zapp! The Lightning of Empowerment is the next book you should read.

1. Who Knew Shopping Was So Important?
2. Sam Walton's Ten-Pound Bass
3. Makin Bacon, a Wal-Mart Fairy Tale
4. The Squeeze
5. The Man Who Said No to Wal-Mart
6. What Do We Actually Know About Wal-Mart?
7. Salmon, Shirts, and the Meaning of Low Prices
8. The Power of Pennies
9. Wal-Mart and the Decent Society

There were a few nuggets that I was able to glean from the book, as follows:

Pennies matter - as a small business owner I know that a penny saved is a penny earned.  I hate wasting money on non-essential items; Wal-Mart built its empire on this fundamental tenet.
Never be satisfied - the moment a business owner becomes content with his or her business is the day they let the competition take over and steal business away.
Enforce accountability - Management is held to stringent goals and being off by even the smallest margin
is considered unacceptable
Work-life balance is up to you, not your employer - Fishman talks about mandatory Saturday sales meetings and recounts stories by Wal-Mart management of how they've given their all for the company at the
expense of family.  There's nothing admirable about sacrificing your family and friends for any job; take control of your own work-life balance destiny.

All-in-all, not a bad read.  Some good nuggets as well as a reminder of how we need to not let what we do professionally take over and consume our lives as professionals.

Some of the going green tips are really good, some are a bit of a stretch, IMHO.  Nonetheless, I do feel there are some great going green nuggets in the book to help you be more environmentally responsible.  

I recommend Go Green, Live Rich  and hope you are able to take a couple of the concepts, help in your going green and save a few bucks along the way.

Something I particularly enjoyed about this healthy living book is the Live Younger Action Plans at the end of each chapter.  Roizen and Oz take the concepts discussed in each chapter and articulate tangible actions that the reader can take away and implement if he or she so chooses.   Really limits your excuses to getting on to a more healthy living lifestyle <g>.

Something else I appreciated about the book is the healthy living recipes contained at the end of the book. While it's not a full-fledged healthy living cookbook (which it's not intended to be in the first place) it is a
great thought-starter to help you think about eating more healthy and get on the road to a better healthy living lifestyle.
