Great tools.......2007-05-19

I'm using this with my 9 year old. I think these are some great tools to help raise my child to stay debt free. At first he was reluctant, but now he really enjoys saving up for things. The commission list helps him track what he's earning and the saving for board gives him a visual reminder of why he wants to save. He still asks for things, but quickly remembers he'd have to use his own money, so he thinks through it and I like seeing him work through these things. I think Dave Ramsey is great and appreciate all his knowledge for my own finances too.

Excellent for Little Kids!.......2007-02-05

I purchased this product to use with my 3-year old son. He loves it! In fact, it's a frequent topic of conversation. He likes giving me updates on his "jobs" for the day. This product will help you to teach your children, even young children, the value of money and the linkage to hard work. Dave's system splits up the child's earnings into 3 categories: giving, saving, and spending. My son enjoys all 3: giving money (tithe) at church, saving money for a big toy, and spending money on little cars or candy bars. I highly recommend this product.

You could as easily make your own chart........2006-11-06

If you are already familiar with Dave Ramsey's financial advice for kids, this kit won't offer you anything new. It contains a dry-erase worksheet, which is nice, but not worth the price of the kit. It also contains a story to tell your kids (or have them listen to on CD) and a calculator.

Did not meet Expectations.......2006-11-03

Overpriced for what we purchased. Teaching kids about money is very important and while this product may spark that interest (temporarily), there was not a whole lot to it. Very cheap materials for what we paid. I suppose it did provide a good lesson about buying over the internet because you are taking a risk when you can't see what you are actually buying. Hopefully the kids learned that or more.

Teaching daughter about money........2006-02-19

My wife and I were concerned about teaching our children to be responsible and understand money. We were unable to find a satisfactory book or sytem until we used this tool. Our four year old has been using the system layed out in this pack, and she thinks it's COOL.

Business Ethics: Role Playing in today's environment.......2004-05-04

The columns featured in this book began during an era of unusual optimism and boom in the economy. By almost any measure (low unemployment, high stock market valuations, capital investment in dotcoms) times were good and therefore a secondary concern like ethics was easily dismissed. During the four years of the column these conditions changed radically with the economic recession and the explosion of corporate scandals. It became obvious that ethics could not be ignored, regardless of the economic metrics. While it would be an exaggeration to say that ethical lapses caused the recession, Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, and other corporate disasters proved that ethics matter.

Business managers must always make ethical considerations an important element in their decisions, recognizing that any action that benefits one group could harm another. In hiring, technical qualifications should not outweigh an assessment of the candidate's ethical makeup. Will this person fit with the espoused principles of the corporation? That is a question to be thoroughly considered. Of course, this is not easy, but precisely because ethics is so difficult to integrate into corporate thinking, the effort should be continuous and sincere.

Thought Provoking.......2003-10-05

Jeff Seglin, with his university degrees in Theological Studies and English, has been a popular writer in a number of business publications for years. His followers enjoy a style of writing that is comfortable, easy to relate to, and complete with concepts to engage the mind. Five years ago, while a Resident Fellow at the Center for the Study of Values in Public Life at Harvard University, he began writing a monthly column on ethics for the New York Times. This opportunity was a natural for Seglin, whose writing and objective observations benefit from a foundation of deep thinking about vital business issues.

This book is a collection of 46 of the columns Seglin wrote in the Times. Rather than a chronological sequence, the presentation is organized into six parts: Ethics Policies and Life in the Corporation; Hiring; Bosses; Privacy: Lying, Cheating, and Stealing; and Leading by Example. The columns are presented like a series of essays, one "chapter" following another without starting on a new page. This design gives the reader a sense of flow, that all these issues addressed by Seglin are tied together.

Readers will read thought-provoking pieces on a wide variety of topics, each of which could stimulate worthwhile conversations among corporate executives. The purpose of the essays is to raise ethical questions that people in business were likely to face. Discussion of the issues presented-by corporate executives, managers, and virtually every member of an organization-can build a productive openness and a process for dealing with situations that arise. The exploration of these issues, dilemmas, and implications will be valuable for university students about to enter the business world... especially those who desire to move into leadership positions where they may confront ethical considerations on a fairly regular basis-to resolve, advise, or mediate.

There are no black-or-white answers in this book. Seglin is careful to point out that "The discussion of ethics in business is one that at its best should be ongoing and always challenging assumptions." This book will be a useful tool to foster those health discussions.

Ethical Business Puzzles Spelled Out.......2003-08-22

The Right Thing is a compendium of columns from "The Right Thing" column that has appeared monthly in the Money and Business section of the Sunday New York Times since 1998. In most cases, these brief essays take a contemporary news item and pull it apart from different perspectives to lay out the ethical dilemmas and possible solutions. In each case, Professor Seglin makes it clear that doing the right thing is what ethics is all about. He frequently draws on the research of many others who have studied ethics to help flesh out the issue.

The essays are grouped into six sections:

Ethics Policies and Life in the Corporation
Hiring
Bosses
Privacy
Lying, Cheating and Stealing
Leading by Example

These essays are unafraid to point out public inconsistencies with ethical behavior. For instance, Professor Seglin takes Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, to task for encouraging ethical behavior by others but not doing enough to be a good example himself. Harvard University is criticized by cashiering the dean of the Divinity School after sexual material was found on his PC. The dean's behavior was embarrassing to Harvard, but the behavior was not unethical in Professor Seglin's view.

I found my mind stretched by many situations I had not thought enough about. When a co-worker donated a kidney to her boss, how was the boss supposed to treat her after that? How did that treatment affect the ethical situation towards her other co-workers by that boss?

There's a nice section on whether the struggling start-up should "borrow" from IRS payroll taxes to keep afloat in hopes of a better day ahead. (Don't do it!)

I don't work in a large company, so the issues about privacy relating to e-mails were interestingly new to me. The conclusions seemed to me to be full of good sense. When you find inappropriate behavior, deal with it. Don't go trolling for it, however, as a part-time, catch-as-catch-can activity.

It's a commentary on our overly "free market" orientation towards business that you don't find many discussions of business ethics as applied to current situations except when executives are being carted off for a criminal arraignment. I hope that the New York Times and other news media take a hint from the content of these columns and expand the subject of ethics to include as many of their business news stories as possible. The events of the last few years seem to suggest that people are not observing the Golden Rule when it comes to their business activities.

I also recommend Dr. John Maxwell's new book, There's No Such Thing As Business Ethics.

Where else should more attention be paid to ethics? That's a good subject for dinner tonight with your family.

"A Must Have Reference Guide for the Serious Sinatra Fan".......1999-02-13

This is a great encyclopedia for any Sinatra fan. It is a well-organized compilation of every song and album that Sinatra ever recorded. It also provides interesting tidbits about the recording sessions, arrangers, and the songs. In addition, the book chronicles his movies, television appearances, and numerous awards. As a Sinatra fanatic, I frequently use the book to reference back to songs, albums, and or movies that I have recently experienced.

Book Description

This reference work details Frank Sinatra's extensive creative accomplishments and includes biographical information as it relates to his art. A valuable tool for researchers and fans, this book provides access to extensive data, collected from disparate sources, including the first published listing of Internet resources. The information is divided into three parts, each arranged alphabetically, and covers his music, film, radio, and television appearances, and his concerts and humanitarian contributions. A thorough bibliography provides important information on locating additional resources. The only American performer to span seven decades of recording (1930s-1990s), Sinatra is regarded as an American icon. The wealth of information in this reference attests to Sinatra's well-earned reputation as an American musical legend. This reference aptly includes information not only about his creative endeavors but about his humanitarian efforts as well. Because Sinatra is recognized and admired for his musical talent, a large portion of this reference is devoted to his songs and recordings. The alphabetical arrangements of song entries includes information on the songs, record labels, arrangers, and recording dates. Three appendices at the end of the volume provide additional information about the recordings. The encyclopedia concludes with the many awards and honors bestowed upon Sinatra.
