Book Description

The Leadership Labyrinth: Negotiating the Paradoxes of Ministry by noted pastor and author Judson Edwards is an original and wholly unorthodox book on what it takes to be a pastor in the 21st century. It offers no simple answers, gimmicks, or church growth suggestions. Instead, Edwards, who has been a pastor for over thirty years, says that ministry is paradoxical, irrational and fun! He explores more than twenty paradoxes that every pastor needs to understand. If you've grown tired of "self-help" books for pastors, and if you're skeptical of "techniques" for being an effective leader, this book is for you. It will jar you out of conventional thinking about church leadership and make you glad again to be a pastor.

The Negotiating Paradox : You Can Get More by Giving More.......2001-01-08

My Company is in the process of going from absolute zero to ten million dollars in projected sales in one year. With such rapid growth staffing requirements, a step by step guide to the other half of sales-negotiating-is critical for new sales personnel. Since purchasing the book, I have implimented the 5 step guide to negotiations outlined in the book with all sales personnel.

Within the first weeks of outlining the program, one sales person tripled his sales performance.

I highly recommend this book.

The paradox: the presence of the myth in the Post Industrial Society!.......2005-10-04

The zealous analysis of the human behavior, the hidden clues conferred by the unconscious philosophy inserted in the myths, the absolute domain of the evolution of the paradigms, the constant and growing application in almost every one of our tangible and intangible systems and procedures around the knowledge 's universe, plus the prodigious imagination of Charles Handy has produced this admirable intelligent and audacious text that breaks the barriers of the conventional thinking around the well know managements issues.

All the organizations are supported unconsciously by ancient and similar facts immersed in the history. Handy has rethought, confirmed and carved in relief a magnificent example of what intelligence means: to reorder and focus from different angles the essential principles that underlie beneath the complexity and the increasing competitiveness of the modern world.

In this order of ideas, Handy plans and puts on the table of the leonine executive 's mind new proposals, demolishing certain behavior patterns that remain such authentic mental barriers. The paradoxes as well as the myths don' t pretend erect as perpetual life' s lessons, because this attitude would reveal precisely he rationalization of the mythical fact. Handy opposes the reality against the illusion of the reality and unmasks certain learned and absorbed models that we ten to assume as unerring. The paradoxes ' intention, in last instance is unbalance to rebalance, but you as manager is the only who can do it if you process the information and redistributes the iron laws in search of your role.

Innovation is simply an intelligent transformation, and this book bets for that device.

It baffles me how the book is so highly rated.......2001-04-15

It has virtually a few pages of sense that can be put into practice, and have any value.

I may be influenced by, my privilege of having lived in England from the mid seventies thru early eighties. He particularly acknowledges the former Labor Party, Tony Benn. This "socialist" even frightened moderate laborites of its time. Another one of those he acknowlges is former Vice President Al Gore, and for Mayor of New York, Mayor Dinkins. As a resident and taxpayer of New York, I know the true David Dinkins !

He correctly points out that Microsoft Corporation is merely "intelectual Property". I agree with him. Later on, he rambles on that ownership of Corporations and business's should be overhauled.

We can all learn from Japan and Germany, and without Japan the US Auto Industry would still be producing thousands upon thousands of junk. However, his reasons that British and American Society should adapt the German and Japanese systems are a joke. In reality, much which was implemented in the 80's in both UK and US is now hurriedly being copied in Germany.

His Chinese Contract is not even worth the time to comment on it !

Other than a few pages of real practicality and common sense, this book is nothing more than left wing rambling and nonsense

He says it is about time we paid the third world a fair price for their trees. I insist must replant trees, we must reduce the amount of paper we comsume. Culprits must not get off the hook. This,in my opinion, is essential whatever ones political beliefs. This paperback is about 320 pages. It is a pity so many trees have to be torn down and the end result is this junk

Refreshing and challenging.......2000-11-20

I read this for an MA course. Since Handy lives in Great Britain, he has a wonderfully refreshing view of leadership and political life (and how they work together). I'm so glad I read this book. It's conclusions are challenging but make sense.

Excellent Read for the MBA student!.......2000-05-05

Handy does an excellent job of defining key business and personal paradoxes. The best section was on the intellectual paradox which future managers need to know how to anticipate and deal with.

REVELATIONARY.......2000-01-05

A book that attacks the very core for some of our most reverential beliefs, exposes our modicum of understanding about the rationale in doing some of the things we do(assuming there is one)and puts across some eye-opening,some egregious thoughts without rancour or religious fervour in a cogent and organised manner

But I must add in the same vein that in my opinion, the most difficult thing to do after wooing an audience is assuring that one's attention remains unequivocally rivetted to the machinations of the author's thinking. To that extent, Handy flounders as his line of reasoning gets more and more nebulous. Even then, for sheer novelty, impact and articulate ratiocination, The Age of Paradox takes some beating

Subtitled A Book for Obsolete Children, this unusual item in the Seuss canon doesn't really belong among the children's books. Written to celebrate the nonsense master's 82nd birthday, it follows "you" (an elderly gent in a suit and white moustache) through a physical check-up in some fiendish geriatric clinic. You are measured, prodded, and subjected to all the medical indignities familiar and unfamiliar to the elderly. "You must see Dr. Pollen, our Allergy Whiz, who knows every sniffle and itch that there is... He will check your reactions to thumbtacks and glue, catcher's mitts, leaf mould, and cardigans too. Nasturtiums and marble cake, white and blue chalks, anthracite coal and the feathers of hawks." It's clear that the process is going to be long, but much shorter than the bill. The blurb on the back says it all: "Is this a children's book? Well... not immediately. You buy a copy for your child now and you give it to him on his 70th birthday." Actually, it would make an amusing gift for anyone over 40. --Richard Farr

Book Description

This is a great gift for all your friends turning 50!
Lets them know exactly what to expect in the coming years.

You'll Laugh.......2007-06-02

I first saw this book while visiting friends in a retirement home. When I got home I immediately ordered it from Amazon and placed it on my coffee table. If you are even on the verge of getting older, you will understand Dr. Seuss' adventure to the doctor's office, and appreciate the humor he injects concerning the many tests, etc. one sometimes must tolerate as we age.

Must Have for 60th Birthdays.......2007-05-12

The family has given this book to friends for years as a gift on their 60th birthday. It is a fun look at the aging process and brings laughter from all who have received the book. Usually we have the friend sit on our laps and we read it to them as we would a child. Great stuff..

Can't live without prescriptions from the good doctor........2007-05-07

A whole book dedicated to the manufacture of a single model of car--and not even a sexy model, such as a Lamborghini or a Rolls Royce, but a Ford Taurus! How interesting could that be? In the hands of talented Mary Walton, it is very interesting indeed. Walton spent more than two years inside the belly of the giant Ford Motor Company researching the manufacture of the 1996 Taurus, and her account makes for surprisingly entertaining reading. Walton, who has written extensively about management theory, brings a perceptive eye and a breezy style to her critique of the automobile industry. In addition to the redesign of Ford's popular model, Walton also examines the sometimes volatile relations between the company's engineering staff and its designers, criticizes Ford's hierarchical management structure, and questions the astounding number of upper-level executives recruited from the military and their resulting martial management style.

The private lives of Ford employees likewise do not escape Walton's critical eye. Twelve-hour days are common among Ford engineers, but the toll on their personal lives is high. So critical is Mary Walton of Ford's management practices that, upon seeing an early draft of Car, Ford revoked Walton's access to its top executives. For a book that provides both solid entertainment and an in-depth analysis of the auto industry, Car is the top of the line.

Book Description

[Tom] Breault . . . came up with a system to guide [top engineer Lew Veraldi] through dense material. When Breault presented a report, he would highlight both his copy and Veraldi's. . . . Eventually, Veraldi realized something was odd. 'Am I the only one in the room with a highlighted copy?' he asked suspiciously. 'Why? Am I the only one who can't follow this?' Breault thought quickly. 'No, sir,' he answered. 'It's because you're the only vice president in the room.'

An astonishing journey into the belly of our most important industry, a portrait of the energy and ingenuity of America at work. Their job, as the wife of the chief engineer put it, was to repaint the Mona Lisa. Faced with redesigning the Taurus, America's best-selling car and the flagship of its fleet, Ford Motor Company assembles 700 designers, engineers, planners, and bean-counters under a tough manager who set out to retake ground lost to the Japanese. On their shoulders rest the reputation and the profits of Ford, not to mention an investment of about 3 billion dollars. A cross between The Reckoning and The Dilbert Principle, this biting, insightful, and often funny account by a seasoned journalist follows the 1996 Taurus from its conception as a clay model in Detroit to its birth in an Atlanta assembly plant to its public debut in a New Jersey dealership. Mary Walton all but lived with the team for two years in a damp Dearborn basement, and she chronicles firsthand the clashes of designers and engineers over shapes, of marketers and accountants over costs, of product guys in Detroit and manufacturing guys in Atlanta as the new machine takes shape on the assembly line. And all of them, all of the time, are looking over their shoulders at the Japanese competition. The Taurus is a single product, but it contains thousands of parts, and just as many stories. Walton has woven these together brilliantly into a book that reveals the tension, the passions, and the pride that fuel the race to #1.

Customer Reviews:

If your are looking to work in the car business READ THIS BOOK!.......2007-03-15

I have been an engineer in the automobile industry for the past twelve years and this book does a great job of describing what its like. I strongly recommend this book to anyone considering a career in this industry. Even though the Taurus is now gone not much has changed as far as the business goes.

Car, by Mary Walton.......2005-09-12

Very interesting study of the effort to bring a new car design to the showroom. Well written and easy to understand, even while introducing all sorts of automobile jargon. I skimmed through all the "human interest" parts, which described the lives of the main characters. Others might find that interesting, but I was just interested in the interaction of the multitude of groups involved in such a project, most often in competition with each other, and, more often than not, working at cross-purposes.

Even non-car people will love this book.......2002-06-25

I picked this book up and couldn't put it down, I'm not even really interested in the process of designing and producing an automobile. The writing style is fun, and while a bit simple it is highly engaging. A nice departure from the facts, figures and bone dry writing I would have expected.

More than just cars - the development process.......2002-05-29

The appeal of this book goes beyond an interest in the auto industry or an interest in cars. If you work in any kind of development process, from software to hardware, this book is both an entertaining and instructive read. It seems we're all fighting the same battles: Designers and engineers constantly at loggerheads, testers finding bugs at the last minute, division presidents saying outlandish things to the press and the sales people looking for the spin. If you don't want to read yet another boring book on how to improve the software development process, try this.

Heavy on the cliches.......2001-06-07

I just finished this book. While it paints an interesting picture about the process to bring a car to market, the style Walton employs falls short. I understand the strategy to be the naive narrator (learning with reader how things work), but she uses too many cliches and poor analogies to make her point. I don't know how many times she said "Ugly as sin" or even "It was, like," a few times. I'd recommend David Halberstam's The Reckoning or Comeback as well-written alternatives about the same subject, especially Comeback's depiction of the Mustang overhaul, than this book.
