Carla Comments on Smart Things to Know About, Knowledge Mgmt.......2001-12-02
Smart Things To Know About Knowledge Management is a worthwhile book for physicians to read. The clear language avoids abstract theoretical postulates and jargons. Techniques are clearly explained. In keeping with the editorial guidelines of the Smart Things Series, the key concepts of value, organization, storage and exchange of information are comprehensively, yet concisely analyzed. Koulopoulos and Frappaolo have written a useable introductory text on knowledge management for business, healthcare and medical practitioners.
Carla J. Emery, DPM
Highly Recommended!.......2001-11-22
Knowledge management sounds impressive over the water cooler, but what exactly is it? We advise you to spend some time pondering this question before you invest a single dollar on KM systems or consultants. A great place to start is this introductory text by Thomas M. Koulopoulos and Carl Frappaola, KM consultants extraordinaire. Starting from square one, the book defines knowledge management, identifies the theories behind it, explains its critical components and examines implementation strategies and results. Of course, any book reflects its subject matter, so this one is thick with jargon and heavy with somewhat abstract concepts like open culture and continuous renewal. The ultimate return on current knowledge management investments remains to be seen, and for that reason we [...] recommend this detailed explanation to any executive who might one day find himself faced with a critical decision about KM strategy.
Good book, repeated ideas.......2000-03-17
This book has many interesting ideas that are repeated. The author's previous book Corporate Instinct was a much better read.
"An Economy of Words, A Wealth of Information".......2000-01-26
Imagine how much easier life would be if you're struggling with a corporate intranet, e-process mapping, corporate learning, tools, knowledge leadership, middle management, communications shortfalls, web initiatives, collaboration strategies and overall knowledge management issues, if you could have Tom Koulopoulos and Carl Frappaolo by your side. If you need "smart" answers to tough questions regarding your company's approach to KM, Tom's passion and Carl's keen observational skills are a potent combination. Pick up Smart Things To Know About Knowledge Management; it's a tiny investment of your time and attention to benefit from their years of expertise and involvement with over 400 corporate KM projects.

Customer Reviews:
Broad and introductory. Helpful or not, depends.......2007-07-03
As there's no table of content here on Amazon, I would like to take the priviledge to type it for you as below:-
Introduction: You cant escape risk
1. The foundation of risk management
2. Categories of risk
3. Smart thinking I: know your risk appetite
4. Smart thinking II: Formalize the process
5. Smart thinking III: Develop a risk culture
6. Smart thinking IV: Learn from success and failure
7. Risk management and decision support
8. Risk management and innovation
9. Looking forward to a risk free culture
As you can infer from the above, the book is very qualitative. Well written samples and analysis are plenty. However, little had been discussed on the quantitative elements to help putting risk management into real practice and so many readers may find it not really useful at all. Helpful or not, depends.

Book Description
The Will to Lead is a book of wisdom and reflection from a man who has observed and shaped the field of management for over 60 years.
During his long and illustrious career at the helm of McKinsey & Company, Marvin Bower has seen more important business leaders close up, helped shaped more companies, and dealt with more of their serious problems than perhaps anyone else in the business world. As a chief executive himself, he built and ran one of the most successful enterprises ever-McKinsey & Company.
THE WILL TO LEAD draws on Bower's 60 years of experience to present his highly personal vision of how to lead people to work together. Raising serious questions about "command-and-control" leadership, Bower urges the creation of companies based on networks of leaders and leadership teams. Weaving in stories and lessons from his own journey, he outlines the first steps for making it happen.
Bower built his distinguished career on giving the right advice at the right time, and for always acting on first principles. The Will to Lead is no exception. It will strike a chord among managers who aspire to be leaders and to help others be leaders.
Customer Reviews:
Leading Rather then Commanding.......2007-03-19
In my last job I worked for the owner, a manager of the style who believed that if your were always concerned about getting fired today that you would work harder. His style yielded a lot of turnover, much grumbling and a family business where senior positions were held by family members who were loyal regardless of their competence.
This book is based on observations of businessmen who have gone beyond the 'my way or the highway' approach. These new managers are not so concerned with their own status that they refuse to listen to their employees. They look for change, especially as they see the world changing around them and forcing ther companies to change to stay competitive. Here are companies and managers that estalish a firm position towards hiring and keeping talented people.
Bower's vision for harmonious and profitable business structure.......2005-12-16
Bower's resume includes acting as leader of the esteemed consulting firm Mckinsey & Co. for 17 years. He shares an business model ideal based on a leadership structure rather than a pure authority sturcture. Appoaching this ideal, a business would flourish from the increased exercise of initiative, expression of opinions and even disagreement.
He challenges, "People don't need better bosses, they need better leaders," and "What if people truly liked their work?"
This book gives many imaginative examples of how this vision could be accomplished. There is no current real business example that we can look to. He has set the bar high... sort of an ideal, like a virtue, where the striving never ends. He does point out hints of this effort in some of today's businesses though.
From his life experience and research, he delineates fourteen qualities an ideal leader would have. They include trustworthiness, fairness, unassuming behavior and the willingness to listen.
This is a great book if you are not 100 percent happy with your company's health, and are looking for a possible positive ideological shift in becoming more leadership oriented and upgrading your mission statement.
Five stars
Great book on a philosophy and experience of a leader.......1999-12-15
The Will to Lead greatest benefit is that it is a first person account of a proven business leader in a dynamic business. What is surprising about the book is that it is very non-consulting-ease even through the author is a former Managing Partner from McKinsey & Co. The first person account and stories contain mulitple nuggets of what it takes to be a real leader. You may have to wade through a few stories that seem a bit self serving of the author. However, these are only the recollections of a lifetime of leadership so they are certainly allowable. Other books on leadership (Kotter et al) provide a more scientific view, however Bower's been there and this is what its like approach gives the book credibility and value
A good tale and framework for measuring your leadership.......1999-11-21
Too many book talk about leadership with hyperbole and abstraction. They view leadership as a set of mechanical traits that one can possess, or they perform hero worship by telling stories about various leaders. This book does neither.
Bower provides the right amount of stories as well as his views on what it takes to lead. The books conversational style and well thoughtout ideas make it well worth the time. This work causes introspection that is more valuable and more action oriented than the other tomes on leadership, self help, etc.
What an inspirational book!.......1998-05-13
If all managers and bosses could read this book the world would be a better place. Marvin Bower has a simple and engaging style of writing that sets him apart from other business writers. I highly recommend this book for those looking for insight regarding their management styles.

Book Description
Who murdered Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin? Was it a fanatic right-wing loner, or is the truth more sinister?
An amateur film of the assassination, as well as eyewitness testimony, documents that Rabin appeared unhurt from shots fired at the notorious peace rally. The same footage clearly shows a back door of Rabin's empty limousine slammed shut from inside before the Prime Minister was pushed into the vehicle. Who was waiting for him? And what happened during the limousine's abnormally lengthy detour en route to the hospital? The death certificate stated that Rabin was shot in the chest and that his spine was shattered. Why did the doctors later change their stories to fit the official tale, which has Rabin shot in his back at a distance?
Falsehoods are exposed and truth revealed in this tirelessly investigated exposé that proves beyond the shadow of a doubt the existence of shocking treachery that has altered the course of human affairs.

Lunatic Schizophrenic Ravings of a Deranged Conspiracy Fruitcake.......2006-04-09
Save your nickle. Chamish belongs in an institution. Not a single sentence in this book is truthful. If Chamish told you the sun were shining, assume that he is lying.
Barry Chamish... loon in a religious suit.......2006-03-22
Who exactly is this Barry Chamish? Is he a gifted historian, or a typical nutjob? Well, to see for yourself, check him out on the web. You will find that good 'ol Barry is one of the head honchos when it comes to the UFO conspiracy that the Antichrist will come back with aliens in UFO's guiding him. No, as others have said, Barry Chamish's book on the Rabin conspiracy (with more holes in it than swiss cheese) is an insult to intelligence.
Let Justice Be Served.......2006-03-22
Israeli author Barry Chamish has served both the Jewish people and the nation of Israel in an invaluable way by seeking justice for Yitzhak Rabin. He has clearly shown, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that the real killers of Yitzhak Rabin remain free and at large, many of them holding political office, and how the official government cover-up is shot through with holes.
Historians will see Mr. Chamish's work as an icebreaker in the Israeli courts of justice, refusing to take no for an answer when a growing number of Israelis are rightly demanding: REOPEN THE RABIN FILE.

Insult to the Intelligence.......2006-02-12
Chamish's "book" is a long rant based on random thoughts being linked together in an irrational and meaningless manner. The entire book does not contain a single factually correct sentence. Chamish is a mentally ill conspiracy nut with intimate ties to nazis and Holocaust Deniers, and a long record of "invetsigating" abductions by UFOs and space aliens. He belongs in an asylum and not on your book shelf!

Conspiracist Hogwash and Infantile Blather.......2006-02-02
Reviewer: Save Us from Chamish "Save Us from Chamish" (Australia)
Chamish is a UFO chaser who claims there are giant space aliens behind each hill.
His "theory" of the Rabin assassination has been thoroughly debunked. Chamish has never produced a single shred of evidence to support his hundreds of mindless conspiracy "theories". In addition, Chamish is an official columnist for the neo-nazi RENSE.com web site and has been linked to several other Holocaust Denial and neo-nazi groups and web sites.

Gorgeously designed.......1999-05-26
Sun, and its companion Portable Universe board book, Moon, are both beautifully designed, charming little books. They are each shaped like the celestial object they describe.
The story/illustrations inside describe the functions of the Sun: the sun is a star, the earth circles the sun, etc. I think this may be a bit abstract for a child's experience, and the rhymes are a little awkward - however, the appealing shape and color of the book may compensate for that.
