The best how to book on the subject I could find. Gives some good examples of roasts. It also gives solid ideas to incorporate into your own style of roast. Very good for framework of your roast and some ideas for jokes and anectodes. Also get a Milton Burle book or the "one-liners" book to complement this one and you're set to roast away.

SAVE YOUR MONEY.......2006-03-11

The high-praise for this slim book astounds me. It is repetitious to the point of distraction. There are better books elsewhere, that can provide you with better instruction -- Milton Berle's Private Joke File, Volume One, for example.

Very Helpful.......2003-01-04

I'm so glad someone took the time to write a how to book on this type of public speaking. With the book's help I was able to write a roast that I gave at a party for a friend who recently finished graduate school. It was very well received, and I had people asking me to help them write roasts. Thank you Mr. Miller.

Helpful and fun.......2002-12-25

This is a terrific book that helps those who are nervous about making speeches and toasts. Useful for both business situations and social occasions. The book has great advice and lots of examples. It's about time someone wrote a book for those who want to partiicpate in toasts and roasts but never felt comfortable doing them.

Fiends, Colleagues and Relatives: Lend Me your Ears.......2002-11-30

This is the best book that I've seen for anyone who wants to add to the pleasantries of a retirement party, wedding reception or other festive event.

Public Speaking from Start to Finish!.......2006-01-22

"Talk the Talk" is the book I always needed and never had. With creative examples and clear explanations, it tells you what to say and how to say it. Merali's examples are well-structured, insightful, and often humourous. This book takes you from start to finish - and doesn't miss a step along the way! -Rowan Dorin, 2003 World Debating and Public Speaking Champion

Great read!.......2006-01-15

I was first introduced to Talk the Talk by a close friend of mine, who is an avid debater. He recommended this book to me, promising that it would be interesting and worth the read. I have always been interested in debate, but my previous schools did not offer debate as an extra-curricular option.

Despite my lack of experience, I found Talk the Talk fascinating and very easy to understand. There was no technical jargon or excessively flowery writing - the book gets straight to the point, and teaches you the basics of debate. Although I may not be joining a debate team in the near future, this book is a useful tool that has helped strengthen my presentation skills.

The tips shared in this books are superb and can dramatically help anybody who speaks: managers, trainers, consultants, and teachers, become more effective and successful. Pam Chambers is a superb presentation coach, I've been a client of hers in person as well, and wholeheartedly recommend her services and training.

This is a gem of a book, and belongs in every manager's and speakers' bookshelf as a trusted resource. Great work!

Diagnosing and Changing Organizational Culture provides a framework, a sense-making tool, a set of systematic steps, and a methodology for helping managers and their organizations carefully analyze and alter their fundamental culture. Authors, Cameron and Quinn focus on the methods and mechanisms that are available to help managers and change agents transform the most fundamental elements of their organizations. The authors also provide instruments to help individuals guide the change process at the most basic level culture. Diagnosing and Changing Organizational Culture offers a systematic strategy for internal or external change agents to facilitate foundational change that in turn makes it possible to support and supplement other kinds of change initiatives.

Customer Reviews:

Useful.Practical........2006-11-06

Help in good manner to diagnose culture in organization. Have developed based on their approach a light software application.Very useful. Help to develop competency models based on cultural approach.

Interesting Model.......2004-03-04

The model presented is an interesting and for the most part effective one. For an alternative model see O'Reilly, Chatman and Caldwell's OCP Method and in particular the commercially available web tools from ThinkShed (www.thinkshed.com) that leverage the method.

Whichever method you use, culture change is ultimately about the application of a consistent approach...my personal preference is the OCP because of the availability of robust web based tools that enable one to penetrate the organization to a much deeper level than is otherwise possible with a paper based model or an interview based model. This can be important if you are wanting to get at deeply rooted and/or problematic sub-cultures.

Smith

Great book, plus..........2003-06-23

This is a great book. In addition, I recommend "Strategic Organizational Change" by Michael Beitler.

The most helpful book..........2003-06-23

This is the most helpful book available on organizational culture. Their OCAI instrument (for diagnosing organizational culture) alone is worth more than the price of the book. I use Cameron & Quinn's material with every one of my clients.

Dr. Michael Beitler
Author of "Strategic Organizational Change"

A remarkable tool.......2003-02-21

The authors provide a great model for understanding and diagnosing organizations. Their cultural quandrant methodology also provides a common language for people within an organization to talk about what they have and what they want. I recommend this for everyone who wants to understand their own organization. Their instrument (OCAI) is both easy to understand and easy to use.

Book Description

"Stafford Beer is undoubtedly among the worlds most provocative, creative, and profound thinkers on the subject of management, and he records his thinking with a flair that is unmatched. His writing is as much art as it is science. He is the most viable system I know." Dr Russell L Ackoff, The Institute for Interactive Management, Pennsylvania, USA.

"If anyone can make it [Operations Research] understandably readable and positively interesting it is Stafford Beer everyone in management ..should be grateful to him for using clear and at times elegant English andeven elegant diagrams." The Economist

In Brain of the Firm and The Heart of Enterprise Stafford Beer worked out the scientific laws that govern any viable system. They constitute the basis for this book which is concerned solely with the application of those laws to the understanding of any particular enterprise. In the form of a Handbook or Managers Guide, Diagnosing the System deals with the fundamental problem of managementhow to cope with complexity itself. It shows you how to design (or redesign) an enterprise in conformity with the laws of viability, and will help you to diagnose faults in your organizational structure.

Book Description

Exciting practical guide helps even new kite makers to assemble, test, decorate and fly magnificent, traditional international kite designs. Complete instructions. 100 black-and-white illustrations. 9 in full color on covers.

Customer Reviews:

Ideal for more advanced projects in school or scouts. Also teaches diversity.......2006-06-17

This is one of those craft books ideal for the Boy or Girl Scout troop leader. The designs are very detailed and they all require a great deal of effort to complete. The projects are from all over the world and they are:

*) The European Diamond Kite
*) The Japanese Red Devil Swooper Kite
*) The Oriental Butterfly Kite
*) The Korean Warrior Kite
*) The Chinese Yuan Kite
*) The Guatemalan Sun Kite
*) The Traditional Chinese Dragonfly Kite
*) The New England Ghost Kite
*) The High-tech Box Kite

There is a scaled grid drawing of each of the kites and detailed textual instructions regarding the materials to use as well as how to put the kites together. Several diagrams showing intermediate stages in the kite construction are also included for each model. I strongly recommend this book for anyone interested in young people creating advanced kite models, independent of the reasons for wanting to do so.

Book Description

"When I was eleven the world was filled with birds," writes Lisa Knopp of her girlhood in Burlington, Iowa. Picking up where she left off in her rst book, Field of Vision, Knopp knits together sections of her life story through a pattern of images drawn from nature. The most prevalent of these unifying themes are metaphors of flight--birds, wind, moving upward and outward and across the midwestern landscape from Nebraska and Iowa to southern Illinois.

Reminiscent of Thoreau's introspective nature writing and Dillard's taut, personal prose, each chapter in Flight Dreams stands alone as a distinct narrative, yet each is linked by profoundly personal descriptions of dreams, the natural world, defining experiences, and chance encounters with people that later prove to be fateful. Part Eastern meditation, part dream sequence, part historical reconstruction, Flight Dreams testifies to a deep understanding of how the natural world--its visible and invisible elements--guides our destinies.
