Excellent CM book.......2006-05-30

All too often construction managers (CM) get caught up in the day-to-day issues that happen on the jobsite. Daniel's book brings one back to the basics: Project Management 101, Safety Considerations, Key Administration Issues, Financial Administration, Project Change Control, Document Control, and Estimating. The sample forms reinforce the use of the appropriate form, which should not be a handwritten piece of paper or an e-mail message (without the appropriate attachment).
I have read Daniel's book twice and feel the seasoned CM as well as the novice CM can get value from this book. From the attributes of an Exceptional Manager, to the listing of potential Meeting Topics, to Change and Document Control, the book offers some new ideas and some things to remember when planning the next construction project.

Book Description

Some intrepid CEOs have dared to be different. When other airline CEOs were raising ticket prices, wringing concessions out of their shell-shocked unions, and begging the government for loans, David Neeleman, founder of jetBlue, was issuing boarding passes, loading baggage, and handing out biscotti to grateful customers. Do you think his unconventional approach contributed to jetBlue's ascension to the rank of most profitable airline in the country...in a single year? In business, mavericks have changed industries, opened entirely new markets, and turned failing companies into industry leaders. Dare to Lead! is the story of 50 business leaders like David Neeleman who have succeeded precisely because they cast aside conventional wisdom and charted their own course. You'll learn how: * Gert Boyle saved Columbia Sportswear and built it into the largest outdoor apparel company in the world by firing all her professional advisors and running the company her way. * Larry Page and Sergey Brin, entering late in a field crowded with huge competitors, built Google into the world's leading search engine without spending a dime on a brand campaign. * Ely Callaway leveraged a novel design for a pitching wedge into one of the world's largest golf equipment manufacturers. * And more engaging real-life stories directly from the top executives who lived them.

This book is a steal. I've read more than a hundred of the best general business books and yet Merrill's book managed to stand out among them. Merrill's teachings are sound and proven. His writing is fluent, clear and concise. His observations of successful business practices are rewarding for the reader - intellectually and financially. As Mae West said, "Too much of a good thing can be wonderful." Anyone interested in business who doesn't read Dare to Lead is making a big mistake. I highly recommend this book.

Key Strategy and Management Principles from Noteworthy CEOs.......2005-01-04

Dare to Lead! will be of most value to a CEO who is new to an organization or who is starting up a company. Those who want to become CEOs in the future would also do well to read this book.

Mr. Merrill read about a number of successful entrepreneurs and succeeded in interviewing a number of them. He clustered the lessons that the CEOs described about themselves into 18 principles which are each exemplified by 3-4 brief stories. The most interesting stories came from JetBlue, Boston Beer Company, Google, 99 Cents Only, Panera Bread, Columbia Sportswear, Trader Joe's, JOE BOXER, and Medtronic. The stories are the best part of the book. The chapters don't offer much guidance aside from what is contained in the stories. Several of the stories were new to me, and I found them to be interesting and helpful.

Here are some of the key lessons in the book: Set a good example; pursue strategies that take you around obstacles; pursue your idea to its logical limit; look for good ideas that can be transferred from other industries; concentrate your focus on what you do best and do it better; repeat and build on success; use innovative promotions to attract partners and customers; listen to and observe customers; have senior management handle customer complaints; focus on what you can do today to make progress; put your employees and customers ahead of your profits; let employees solve problems; help your customers sell to their customers; work more closely with outside partners; and make your company's purpose and values seem more real to your employees and customers.

As you can see, none of these principles are new. They are a good antidote to much of the overly analytical education that new MBAs receive. New MBAs won't probably want to read this book, but they should.

The book would have benefited from sharing fewer lessons and doing so in more detail . . . along with more advice on how to follow through in these areas.

The writing is smooth and easy to follow. You'll find yourself finishing the book in one or two airplane trips. Take it along on your next JetBlue flight!

Dare to Lead: thought provoking and fast paced.......2004-10-22

I'm always so hopeful when I start a business book that there will be real "meat"; information of value that can be internalized and used in my own working life. Mr. Merrill crafted a fast paced book broken into small bite-sized chunks that makes it easy to grasp and a joy to plow through. More important, he brings to life a wide variety of business examples that we are all familiar with (or thought we were), in order to make a point. It's a quick read that is full of food for thought.

Dare to Lead! - An excellent read, highly recommended.......2004-09-28

Dare to Lead! is exactly what I was looking for. All the essential lessons from actual business leaders packed into one book. No theoretic nonsense from someone who never led anyone, but a valuable collection of the essential factors that allowed 50 real leaders to beat their competition and to successfully drive their business. A great reference for anyone in business looking for swift inspiration! I highly recommend it!

Review of DARE TO LEAD!, by Mike Merrill.......2004-09-06

Review of "DARE TO LEAD!"
Author: Mike Merrill, published by Career Press

Talk about mindsets! When the reviewer, having a military background, was asked to comment on this work, knowing that the author was a second generation West Pointer, said reviewer automatically presumed that the book was going to be about some aspect of military leadership.

Wrong!

However, there are some commonalities, in that the brand of leadership that the Military Academy teaches translates into `getting down into the trenches with your troops', and this book gives concrete examples early on of that type of leadership practiced by men and women who thought `outside the box', who acted as ticket agents and as members of cleaning crews for failing airlines, as well as for `start-up' air lines; for successful entrepreneurs who were cooks for their own businesses.

Although relatively small - not the size of a `full sized' book and less than 225 pages - this is an extremely well researched and documented work, indicating many, many hours of painstaking research, countless interviews, etc.

There are a few central themes running throughout the book. One is "change". This book is composed of relatively short vignettes covering a wide range of businesses, mostly but not all, small ones, several of which were on the brink of failure and needed `change' to survive, to prosper.

It is also about "people", people who were not averse to getting their hands dirty, not afraid to ask for advice from others more successful than they, men and women who - one has to read between the lines to see this - put in horrendously long hours, who lived literally hand-to-mouth, in some cases for years, in order to succeed.

Another theme is "persistence". Few if any of the entrepreneurial folks featured in this book had instant, `flash-in-the-pan' ideas. Almost without exception they were in a sink or swim situation; a change had to be made, creditors, investors had to be convinced, as well as entrenched bureaucracies in some cases. This takes patience, persistence, and leadership.

Still another is "guts", the intestinal fortitude required to take an idea that one believes in and push it - often in the face of opposition, the specter of failure, until the idea is proven to work.

The book is well written, sometimes in the first person, indicating in-depth knowledge of the problems, which is accurate, since the author has been CEO of at least two firms.

Another trait common to military leadership that the book evokes is "Take care of your people and they will take care of you".

How often do we see situations today where upper management takes care of themselves to the exclusion of the people, the employees whose hard work, loyalty has put these managers where they are?

This is a highly recommended work, an excellent and enjoyable read!

An amusing, historical and informative book about 19th century cooking, manners and games.

Chock full of recipes like Hobo Mulligan Stew, Sweet Potato Cobbler and Pioneer Sausage and Apples.

Grand pioneer tales and whimsical bits about table setting and manners. Read a crazy 'Stubborn Child Law' of 1646.Squirm at the items depicted in Weird and Disgusting Food.

Old time pictures flow throughout with people from Lincoln to Tom Thumb, native americans to poor slave children.

A useful bibliography appears at the end of the book along with old time music and record listings.

This would be an excellent addition to a cook or history buff's library. Simply enlightening and enjoyable!

Book Description

Distills complex theories for the benefit of the average trader with little or no background in finance or mathematics by offering a wide range of valuable, practical strategies for limiting risk, avoiding catastrophic losses and managing the futures portfolio to maximize profits. Numerous topics are explored including: why most traders lose at the futures game most of the time; why most mechanical trading systems are apt to fail; the probabilistic approach to trading; how to make stop-loss orders work for, rather than against you; the pros and cons of options versus futures trading; and how to limit risk through diversification.

A Complete Insight Into Money Management Strategies for FT.......2003-03-28

While a large percentage of individuals do not achieve financial success in the futures markets, traders who do succeed possess a solid understanding of risk and exercise a disciplined program of loss containment and money management. Nazer J. Balsara's Money Management Strategies For Futures Traders provides a wealth of materials for futures and stocks traders alike. The book is a must-read and a relatively easy-read for those who wish to enhance their risk management sophistication with complex tools and who believe that the best way to survive and prosper in the markets it to contain your losses, play defensively and let profits ride.

All trading opportunities are not created equally and part of a trader's job is ferreting out the best markets to trade. The chapter on commodity selection presents four approaches to market selection, based largely on the work of J. Welles Wilder, the father of ADX (Average Directional Index Indicator) and RSI (Relative Strength Index). Here, the book is a good review of Wilder's ADX but focuses on the less-known aspect of his work: the commodity selection index. Wilder's approach uses ADX to identify futures yielding the greatest dollar-value price-moves for a given margin investment, in short, getting you in on the most appealing trades. Balsara also shows the utility of Wilder's price movement index when it is it is not possible to determine or estimate reward, thereby enhancing the analysis and return in mechanical trading systems. Sharpe ratios are also considered as a way of measuring risk-adjusted returns.

The text gives useful approaches to managing risk through stop-loss orders by laying out the usage of time stops, dollar-value stops and volatility stops. There is also a presentation on how to survive locked-limit markets by creating synthetic options positions, spreads or offsetting positions in the cash markets.

A studied read of this finance professor's work will help traders develop both the skill and the art of disciplined risk-taking.

Do not enter the futures game/war without this book!.......1999-11-30

I only wish I had utilized the statistical tools the author provides earlier in my trading career. However, I did find the book in time. Don't let the reference to statistics scare you. The author uses basic alegebra to aid you in trade selection and risk control.

This book may not guarantee you success in trading, but I do believe that if one does not apply the basic money management principles presented by Prof. Balsara, sooner or later, failure in the futures market is almost certain.

If you can't name the 5 basic steps of money management, I suggest you stop trading immediately, get this book with a couple of ticks worth of money you'll not be losing while your not trading. Read it a few times, set up your money management spreadsheet and may you trade with clarity previously unknown in your endeavors in the futures market.

Offshore hedging strategy of Japan-based wheat traders under multiple sources of risk and hedging costs [An article from: Journal of International Money and Finance]

Description:
Japan-based international wheat traders face multiple risks from the changes in wheat prices and exchange rates. This study shows that Japanese wheat importers would employ futures hedging in the CBOT and/or TIFFE to reduce the risks, although there is no wheat futures trading in Japan. For the importers, hedging in the CBOT and TIFFE might accompany some costs in addition to transaction and opportunity costs, such as additional transaction cost as a foreign trader and a relatively higher bid-ask spread due to a large volume of trade. Thus, introducing hedging costs in an offshore hedging model for the traders is necessary, and it may change optimal hedging ratios in both futures markets. Empirical results show that costs in the hedging activities are at play in determining optimal hedging positions in the markets.

Book Description

In the corporate environment where conspiracy rules, this guide exposes the power games played in the workplace and reveals strategies for not only surviving office politics but thriving. In East Asia, the rat is considered a symbol of resourcefulness, good luck, and wealth, making it an appropriate symbol for those people who have mastered the use of office politics for their own gain. With the rat as a guide, lessons inspire office workers to maneuver the proverbial workplace sewer. Witty, no-holds-barred writing makes this book entertaining and educational for employers and employees alike.

Dead-serious anthropology and sociology masquerading as humor.......2006-09-10

The Way of the Rat is probably the best book on office politics I've ever read. The author, who toiled in the corporate and consulting vineyards for years, writes pungent and mordant observations on the way modern corporations really work. Part satire, part out-and-out parody, and even so, simultaneously a dead-serious work of corporate anthropology and sociology that is more than the sum of its parts.

However: to understand the cultural anthropology of the modern office, you need to understand anthropology in general, preferably with a smattering of evolutionary psychology thrown into the mix. Human beings have built and designed some wonderful things, ranging from flint arrowheads to Michelangelo's David to the Brooklyn Bridge to particle accelerators, but we're still giant hairless apes with swollen forebrains, and despite our carefully constructed facades, that's still how we act much of the time.

And you'll never see better examples of primate dominance hierarchies than you'll find in most "modern" offices.

Thus, I also recommend:

The Naked Ape : A Zoologist's Study of the Human Animal
(Good general introduction to practical anthropology)
Author: Desmond Morris
ISBN: 0385334303

The Moral Animal: Why We Are the Way We Are
(Good general introduction to evolutionary psychology)
Author: Steven Pinker
ISBN: 0679763996

And for more general background:

Office Space
(Motion picture, 1999; director, Mike Judge)

Time allowing, it's also not a bad idea to brush up on your Von Clausewitz, Machiavelli and Sun Tzu. A little dose of Hobbes and Kant wouldn't hurt either.

All Bark, No Bite.......2006-03-23

This books gets by on cheap shock value. It's full of evil sounding phrases but short on actual instruction.

For example he says "Humiliate and offend in order to achieve your personal aims."

How? The book doesn't say.

Another example, "Blacken your opponent by turning them into the villain while playing the innocent yourself."

Sounds great. Now, how do I accomplish this? Again, the book doesn't say.

It was chapter after chapter of this frustration. He offers no steps on how to carry out a single one of these plans.

He could just have easily have written "Overthrow the government, install a puppet regime, and proceed to rule with an iron fist."

I read it carefully cover to cover, and found nothing I could use. A wasted evening.

Review of The Way of the Rat.......2006-03-02

Schrijvers writes an unflinching, unapologetic, and arguably bleak portrayal of corporate life. What makes Schrijvers book so compelling is that readers, or at least readers with morals and values, should find themselves aghast at what on the surface reads to be an endorsement of abhorrent behavior in the workplace. Even more so if there is a hint of familiarity with which the reader identifies.

At times Schrijver's suggestions seem so outlandish that the reader should find themselves wondering if he could possibly be serious. To further confuse the reader, though written as a how-to manual, Schrijver clearly states that the book should be taken in jest. In the end a reader is left wondering if Schrijver is endorsing "rat" behavior or condemning it? More importantly, a reader should come away asking themselves, have I been a rat and is this really what I want to be?

Schrijver essentially asserts, by way of his "verminicity" test where one has no choice but to be a rat, that anyone working in an office environment has been subjected to and has likely themselves used rat tactics. For those who reject this label, Schrijver categorizes this group as "stupid rats". In other words, you're a rat whether you like it or not but you are just naive enough to miss the signs of verminicity that are apparently all around you.

Though much of what Schrijver writes is probably an accurate portrayal of the characteristics of office politics at many companies, one would have to be a hardened cynic to completely believe that this is true of all office environments. A more likely explanation is that Schrijver, a writer and consultant on personal development, grew dissolusioned. Dissolusioned with the pop-psychology business book-of-the-week, which self-anointed intellectuals and business leaders latch onto, praise, and then before long, begin to look for the next release to trumpet as a breakthrough.

This book strikes one as the anti-thesis of those types of books; a book where the writer grew tired of reading about synergy and shifting paradigms and decided to write a book to tell people how things really work in the real world. Schrijvers may have over shot his mark a bit, but one can hardly argue that he fails to make his point and his no-holds barred approach to writing is refreshing.

In the end, the writer coyly reveals his intended purpose of the book with an epilogue that appears to literally be a page out of a completely different book. While the balance of The Way of the Rat is figuratively a page out of a different book; a book that flies in the face of the ideas, buzzwords, and catch phrases so commonly seen in the genre of self-help business books.

Reviews in British press.......2004-07-20

Here are some reviews of 'The Way Of The Rat: a survival guide to office politics' published in newspapers and magazines in the U.K.

Management Today (June 2004 edition), book review by Professor Cary Cooper:
"I strongly recommend this book for its novel style and words of wisdom... It's not only extremely perceptive of human behaviour at work, but also fun to read."

Daily Telegraph (13 July 2004):
"Schrijver's book speaks frankly, and with an admirable lack of motivational nonsense, about the real dynamics of business success."

The Times (Leader Page, 13 July 2004):
"Consider what the runaway hit The Rules, a shameless guide to getting hitched, did for romance. The Way Of The Rat promises to do the same for the work world."

This Is Where It's At!.......1999-04-24

If you're looking here, you're looking fo real answers.

The truth is that, if the fed gov was operation within its constitutional limits we wouldn't need the N.R.S.T., but such a method of taxation is a step in the right direction.

We must be sure to repeal the 16th amendment first, or we may end up with a worst-case scenario: An N.R.S.T. AND an income tax both!

Be sure also to read "Freedom in Chains" by James Bovard.

Makes the case that a national sales tax would help everyone.......1998-09-28

I thought this book was excellent. He demonstrates that a national sales tax truly would work, that it would raise enough money to operate the government with less strain on the tax-paying public. And he backs it up with all the facts and figures. He shows that the money that we would save each year just supporting accountants, tax preparers, and tax lawyers would represent billions of dollars in savings. And it would reel in the ever growing underground economy because even dope peddlers and gangsters have to consume every time they buy food, clothes, houses, cars or whatever. There is just no good reason not to try this.

Thomas Jefferson: Statesman of Science.......2002-03-12

Silvio A. Bedini has written Thomas Jefferson: Statesman of Science with an eye on the scientific Jefferson from his early days to his demise. Jefferson had a scientific preoccupation throughout his entire life, always looking at the things around him.

We have read books on Jefferson's multifarious life, as a lawyer, politician, diplomat, architect of Monticello and the University of Virginia, but Jefferson's talents went much further... as Jefferson would say, "Science is my passion, politics my duty." Jefferson looked at nature with a keen eye. As he sent Lewis and Clark to explore the newly purchased western territory, they sent back enough curiosities to keep Jefferson's mind occupied.

Jefferson's mind was so absorbed in sciences that he published his work "Notes on the State of Virginia" one of the most important works on science of the eighteenth century, later it helped earn him the title of "Father of American palentology."

From fossils to plants, ingenious devices, cartography, mathematical instrumentation, and many other ideas all sparked Jefferson's fertile mind... the author takes us on road of exploration into Jefferson's inventive, curious, and brilliant scientific achievements, all in a narative to pique our interest. Jefferson was on the vanguard of achievements not only here in the United States but abroad as well thus fueling his preoccupation with the sciences.

This book carries us through Jefferson's life as his inventive mind produced many utilitarion devices or improved others that already existed. Cryptography, the science of weather, medicine and farming all captivated Jefferson as we read on in the book.

I highly recommend reading this fascinating book.
