The Money Mystique: A Woman's Guide to Achieving Lifetime Financial Confidence

Book Description

Poverty is much more common for women than men, and most women will be on their own an average of 15 years after their husband's death. For these reasons, it is imperative that women take responsibility for their financial future. Karen Sheridan has spent years working with women to uncover the assumptions about money that diminish financial confidence. In this book, she helps readers pinpoint self-defeating behaviors, recognize underlying fears, and take steps toward a prosperous future. She explains how to recast money as a powerful tool and create a plan for using it wisely.

Part poetry, part essays, all wonderful.......2001-05-01

While not a new book, this one is worthy of the readers time. Hasselstrom is a poet, an essayist and a working ranch woman, dividing her time between her ranch in South Dakota and a residence in Wyoming. This book is part poetry and part essay. It is all exceptional. If you want to read of death, life, love, the land and being a woman by one of the best writers in the business, this is the book for you. She has written a number of fine poetry books but I recommend this collection as a start. From here I suspect the reader will go on to her other works. She's that good.

You just can't give raises every week! Find Something else!.......2003-07-03

I have long believed that for the most part your company pay plan is competitive within your industry. Then by definition, you are getting paid what you are worth in your environment. As a manager/supervisor that also means that you can not reward with money. To become successful leader, your had better look in other directions.

My suggestion is using Mr. Brayton's Recognizing and Rewarding Employees as your starting point. He presents you with the tools. We all need to consider our method of using the tools.

Picture the chapter headings as your core principals. Within each principal, the author lays out methods, details, actions or thoughts to support the principals. Take the chapter content to develop your leadership and managerial style. We are all individuals and as such will use different styles. However, the core principals being presented within each chapter remain constant.

I found it helpful and easy to grasp the principals through the side boxes and the manager's check boxes.

Understand the key principals, develop the tools to fit your style and you will improve your managerial results!

Highly Recommended!.......2001-09-01

Author R. Brayton Bowen takes a thoughtful approach to understanding the new generation of employees who seem to need rewards and recognition to spur their motivation. He attributes their incentive-based work ethic to workplace changes, such as downsizing and a decline in loyalty, which has tainted the work environment. Bowen proposes a variety of recognition systems, including intrinsic and extrinsic rewards, and he outlines strategies for using recognition to empower the whole person. His in-depth ideas about building motivation through recognition and rewards will appeal to anyone who manages other people, from supervisors to top executives, though he cautions that true motivation can't be bought, but must come from genuine achievement and internal drive. Since Bowen provides a thoughtful context for the workings of motivational strategies, as well offering some hands-on tactics, we [...] recommend this book to managers and human resource professionals at all levels.

Full of Quick "Idea" Nuggets.......2001-05-04

Just as recognizing and rewarding customers lead to loyalty, the same is true for employees. Creating a caring culture is a tall order for employers, but it's exactly what employees want--and value. This book is brimming with ways to create that caring culture. Any business person can realate to the stories and examples. Best of all are the gray boxes sprinkled liberally throughout the book (almost on every page) that provide tips, tactics, and examples. I can randomly open the book and read one of these nuggests -- and within 30 seconds, I have a new insight, idea, or understanding. This book is a must-read for every manager who cares about employees.

Great practical guide!.......2000-10-13

The notion of leading from the inside out was refreshing and relevant
in today's world where managers often believe that changing their
behavior is sufficient. I am using the notion of Recognition As A
Whole Person Experience in my graduate management class. It is well
stated and is representative of the book as a whole. The eye-catching
icons, checklists, and sidebars make the book easy to read and apply
to practical situations. The book is very useful to practicing
managers and this is the primary group in our MBA program. I will
recommend the book to them without reservation. John T. Byrd, PhD
Professor of Management Bellarmine University

Must Read for Managers.......2000-10-02

Finding aides for managers which help make the complex subject of employee supervision, motivation and commitment understandable are rare discoveries. Brayton Bowen's book, "Recognizing and Rewarding Employees" is one of those infrequent finds. This book includes practical, every day examples throughout. I found it could be read quickly, a few sections at a time. It is filled with real world examples throughout which include useful tips as well as insights you will conclude could only have been written by someone who's really "been there". Reading this book would be an excellent investment for all managers responsible for achieving results through others.

Where's the Explanations?.......2007-09-03

This book is a requirement for my Basic Education - as a licensed appraiser seeking upgrade to the Certified General level - this book has been more frustrating than explanatory. The absolute absence of related examples and real-world application of income capitalization approaches is what hurts this book more than anything. For example:

Page 95, Solution 1 for computing an IRR -when computing an IRR - you have 3 of the 4 elements required but don't have the yield rate - the objective of the IRR is to compute the yield rate absent any available interest rates. In the example, the following data is provided:

Present Value (PV) = -10,000; Periodic Deposits (PMT) 12,000 for two Periods; Future Value (FV) = 10,800* ( <- Notice the " * " ??) The asterisk says:

*Calculated using the present value of $1 formula on page 84.

The computation for the present value (PV) of $1 REQUIRES an interest rate...! So, in other words, there is no way to compute the FV without a rate of the for the FV (whether assumed or guessed) therefore this method does not work. So, where'd the FV come from?? What interest rate was used? Is this the future value of the reversion or is it the future value of the reversion plus the discounted cash flows? There is NO explanation. The yield capitalziation and the IRR discussion is weak and, because the book uses Chapter 4 as the basis for future chapters - it's making the going very difficult. It's as if the authors have a secret that they expect us to "find out" on our own.

I have to pass my income cap test before I can upgrade - unfortunately, I will need to purchase another book that will teach me how to compute yield rates and internal rate of returns - this book simply misses the mark.

Income Property Valuation Text Review.......2005-10-12

This book is used in my graduate-level Real Estate Appraisal class. I found the book to be riddled with errors and typos (for example, the bottom of page 293 shows an example property with an 8% LTV (!!)) and it is a bit dated, however, the use of a CDROM to show examples and a trial ARGUS program is nice. One major problem is that the numerous problems outlined at the end of each chapter are never answered in the book. Thus, the poor student hoping to check to see if his homework answers are correct is out of luck. The case study at the end of the book, the capstone project I assume, is an appraisal of an apartment complex. As users of ARGUS know, an apartment complex cannot be modeled well in ARGUS. The authors should have known that, and its clear that they are out of touch with how real appraisals are done. Overall, I'd say its a typical sloppy textbook written by academics with little to no knowledge of the real world....
