Paul Thornton Manufacturer: Griffin Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1580000533 |
Book Description
Winning leaders do three things.Be the Leader, Make the Difference explains how you can perform each of the three leadership roles. It also points out the three C's (challenge, confidence, coaching) are interrelated. The material speaks directly to the problems faced by many managers.

"Off the Wall" Answers to be a Better Leader (:>.......2002-02-06
One interesting aspect of the 3 C's is that in Mr.Thornton's words, "Everyone has untapped leadership abilities that can be developed and utilized" and the catalyst to develop this leadership is the desire to "make a difference". Thus, by using the 3 C's we all can become better leaders, managers, supervisors, coaches and people.
Overall, Paul Thornton really has great experience to share and ideas to express and in his book he undoubtedly combines the best aspects of his previous two books - Lessons from the Best Managers and The Answers are on the Office Wall into a portable and pertinent book on the topic of leadership. Paul Thornton draws on his 25 years of experience training supervisors and managers at United Technologies Corporation, as well as his consulting and training experience at "Be the Leader Associates" a firm he founded to support companies in selecting and developing leaders whom they need to compete with the best....
Be the Leader; Make the Difference.......2001-06-21
Great overview of the work of a leader.......2000-06-27
Be the Leader, Make the Difference is an excellent overview of both what successful leaders do and how you can develop and implement these practices into your own leadership.
Author Paul B. Thornton identifies three key responsibilities that every leader must master: challenge, confidence, and coaching. According to Thornton, "...leaders do three things: they challenge the status quo; build the confidence in others; and coach associates on what to do and how to do it."
Using these three leadership responsibilities, Thornton has developed the 3-C Leadership model which is basis for Be the Leader, Make the Difference. The 3-C Leadership model is easy to understand and even easier to implement. In addition to the excellent 3-C Leadership model, it is filled with the experience and ideas of many successful leaders. I found this book to be very practical. There are many ideas included in this book that you can immediately put into your own leadership practice. One criticism that I would raise is that some sections of the book can, at times, lose focus in the midst of the content.
Overall, Be the Leader, Make the Difference is an excellent book for those who are looking to either improve their leadership skills or better understand what a leader does. Be the Leader, Make the Difference reads quickly and includes many real life examples of the 3-C Leadership model in practice along with case studies to assist in applying these principles in a business setting. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking to improve his or her leadership skills or who wants a better understanding of the key responsibilities of a leader.

Customer Reviews:
Caveat: this is not a right-wing conspiracy-type book. It is a serious text on recent American and world history. People looking for a sensational ride through the subterranean passages of governmental power would probably be better off elsewhere.
Thornton does suggest explanatory models that are quasi-revolutionary, e.g. that Nixon's fall was the result of a commonplace political entrapment scheme by Kissinger, which led directly to (among other events) the fall of South Vietnam. Does that morsel sound tempting to you? The book is full of them. (I especially love Dr. Thornton's description of Watergate burglar G. Gordon Liddy - look up Liddy's name in the index to find the passage.)
Dr. Thornton is a Professor at George Washington University's School of International Affairs. He is an expert on China and its history (and he speaks several Chinese dialects). He is the "real McCoy" with a pedigree that includes a career in U.S. Air Force intelligence.

Administrative arrangements and displacement compensation in top-down tourism planning-A case from Hainan Province, China [An article from: Tourism Management]

Description:
Forced population displacement is a process that often accompanies contemporary tourism development. When widespread economic benefits are expected, relocation of existing communities may occur in the expected interests of the majority. This paper assesses the social impacts of a tourism-caused displacement case at a destination where tourism is being promoted as a regional development strategy and planned in a top-down fashion. Deficiencies in implementation and compensation resulting from the administrative arrangements are pointed out and planning-oriented recommendations are offered to help to mitigate the pain of indigenous populations in future tourism development and related dislocation projects.
