Roberts and Sergesketter have done an excellent job!.......2005-09-21

This is a splendid volume. Harry Roberts and Bernard Sergesketter have written an excellent and helpful book. The great strength of the book is that the reader gets to apply the ideas for themself, not just in an "organizational fashion." Introducing the idea of a Personal Quality Checklist, the authors discuss how to manage self-improvement in a data-based way. In the process they dispense a good amount of useful wisdom about improvement, quality and psychology.

Strongly recommended. It is easy to build individual or team-based projects in courses based on the idea - and to give the students the opportunity to actually apply the tools they are learning about. And the best method of learning involves doing!

Self-Experimentation Applied to Self-Improvement.......2005-09-13

The late Harry V. Roberts and Mr. Sergesketter have written an outstanding book. Intended in part as an introduction for managers to how quality improvement programs FEEL for workers, it does much more. It is an introduction to systematic self-improvement for those looking for provable results.

The approach is simple. It starts with the "Personal Quality Checklist", an idea that goes back at least as far as Benjamin Franklin. The goal is to eliminate defects and reduce cycle times on repetitive personal processes. The means is systematic record-keeping. The personal processes could be brushing one's teeth, being on-time for appointments, maintenance of an exercise program. In other cases the focus might be on defects, such as saying "like" as an interjection in speech (as in, "I was, like, soooo bored, dude.") or fidgeting in class or at a meeting.

The book takes various ideas from the quality movement in industry and illustrates or suggests their application in personal processes.

I am sure that the very idea of this will upset some folks. They probably aren't going to be persuaded. But, if, like me, you are skeptical of most over-blown self-help books and courses, this modest, semi-scientific approach may be just the ticket for demonstrable, lasting self-improvement.

If it was good enough for Ben Franklin, ....

Quality is Personal.......2001-07-20

This is a life-changing guide to quality in simple relatable terms. I always thought Quality was an enterprise thing and it didn't relate to me, the individual. It has helped me address everything from responding to requests on time to routine exercise and weight control. A must read for anyone who believes in quality principles. Everyone talks quality but to apply it personally is to truly understand the word.

The Industrial Revolution has been, and continues to be, the focus of massive historiographical as well as historical enquiry. This collection includes reappraisals by Phyllis Deane and by François Crouzet of their classic accounts of industrialization in Britain and in France, and more generally broaches the wider issue of "new approaches" that have been emerging for the understanding of the industrializing process in nations where it came somewhat later.

Network Marketing for the 21st Century written in 1985.......2006-05-11

The thought of writing a futuristic book about a burgeoning industry is an interesting concept. Can anybody say "Back to the Future"? I didn't find anything earth shatering in this book except the fact the principles presented are tried and true from a sales point of view: Company, Goals, Training, Products, Persistence, Marketing and Attitude. His assumptions of the expansion of Network Marketing are based on Faith Popcorn's classic "The Popcorn Report". Too bad Rod Nichols hadn't seen Clicking (published in 1998)- the phenomenal followup to The Popcorn Report.

Successful Network Marketing for the 21st Century book is a good primer for someone who wants to learn the industry but I recommend "The 7 Step System to Building a $1,000,000 Network Marketing Dynasty" by Dr. Joe Rubino if you really want to explode your downline.

Many Specific Examples Given.......1999-11-21

Rod Nichols has written a book that simply should not be ignored. Chapter 5: Prospecting is worth ten times the price of the book alone. You are given cold and warm market techniques with exact steps and word for word scripts to use in person and on the telephone.

A sample letter is even provided on page 104 to mail to business people. This book is a must have.

Readers are provided with too many examples to explain here. If you serious about network marketing, but unsure what to do, this a great book for you. Every reader will find a way they will be comfortable with.

Presenting, running meetings, prospecting, it's all covered here.

I agree with Satina Scott!.......1999-11-08

I was given this book by a friend who suggested that I read this to get a chuckle. After reading this book, and REALLY forcing myself to do so, in order to get a good idea of what the book is about; I can only conclude that anyone who gives this book mmore then 1 star MUST be in Mr. Nichol's downline and was coerced to do so.

A must for Network Marketing novices and experts alike.......1999-08-12

As a novice in Network Marketing, I found this book to be an incredible help. It lends a wonderful insight into this field and provides motivational tips that are applicable to new entires like myself as well as to marketers who have worked this industry for many years.

The networkers bible........1999-02-17

I have used this book from day 1 with my networking organization. It has given me great ideas of what works and what not to try. I have the pages marked and dog-eared. Everyone needs to have a copy of this book in their library if they are serious about network marketing.

Una realidad de todo negocio es que esta cambia en forma constante, y por ende su entorno debe adaptarse a la nueva realidad, para lo cual existen muchas herramientas y esquemas; La innovacion es un parámetro vital que debe ser evaluado siempre y entonces surge la pregunta clasica gestada por el contenido de este libro:¿Como resolver el dilema de dejar pasar los beneficios de la innovacion? Esta es una pregunta muy importante al momento de poner en marcha fusiones de negocios en que la innovacion participa en forma implicita. Espero que los siguientes libros de Christensen aporten tanto como este.

A practical guide for charitable advisors.......2003-02-02

This book is a practical and thorough guide to charitable and planned giving tools and techniques, written by leading experts in the field. It contains detailed analysis, planning examples, questions and answers, graphs, and helpful tables, forms, and samples.

In addition to useful technical information such as when to use a charitable lead trust, and how to structure gifts from retirement plans, the book also delves into more sensitive planning issues such as how to recognize ethical dilemmas, and how to manage a planned giving team which mixes both non-profit and commercial sector advisors.

Furthermore, it provides up-to-date analysis of charitable and planned giving trends, including the use of the Internet, information on specialized software packages, and a detailed chapter-by- chapter bibliography recommending related and timely books, articles, and websites.

This book is suitable for the following readers:

Planned Giving Staff
Development Staff
Attorneys
Accountants
Financial Planners
Insurance Agents
Trust Officers
Investment Advisors

Because the book balances cutting edge techniques with the need to avoid overly aggressive and risky planning, charities may find it advantageous to provide copies to their Advisory Board members and other commercial sector advisors with whom they work. And since the book contains detailed information, ranging from basic to advanced, about charitable planning tools, laws, and trends, advisors who want to include such plans in their portfolio will find this book handy in developing both sound plans for their clients and profitable working relations with non-profit organizations.

received an old edition - very disappointed.......2007-05-21

I'm very disappointed with my order with Amazon. Two co-workers and I all ordered from Amazon and we all got different editions of this textbook; none of them being the most recent. I am going to send mine back.

Full of information but dense.......2007-05-09

I received this book in the high hopes of having everything explained to me in clear English. For the most part, my expectations were met. The downside is that the reading is quite dense in most parts. In addition, being a Tax Professional, I found a few, minor errors in the Tax Planning section. Otherwise, the book has been a tremendous help in my studies to become a CFP(R).

CFP Course 1.......2007-03-24

Good book to form the foundation for the CFP training and exam. It's too expensive, however. My guess is that it is priced assuming most students get reimbursed by their employers. For those of us who have to pay for the book out of our own pockets, it is too expensive.

Typical Textbook.......2007-02-21

textbook was purchased new. It is a large softcover which I am not sure will hold up for the length of my studies and I have found that much of the tax information is of course out of date and there are a couple of references that are incorrect. Time for a reprint.

Pretty good.......2006-07-25

A lot of good info. Fills in the gaps in my knowledge of investing, finance, banking, estate planning, retirement options, etc. There are quite a few typos, however, and a lot of awkward sentence structure. Strange because it's nothing that MS Word wouldn't catch. It needs a pro writer re-write.

Worse than the Worst PowerPoint Presentation.......2005-02-03

If ever you've sat through a presentation in which the speaker followed a PowerPoint template and asked yourself, "Could anything be worse than this?", this book is the answer and the answer is "Yes, much worse!"
Stephan Leimberg may know something about employee-benefit and retirement planning but his writing skills might best be used to torture prisoners at Abu Ghraib.
For chapter after chapter, he follows the same deadly template: "What is it?, When is it indicated?, Advantage, Disadvantages, Design Features." For paragraph after paragraph, he follows the same hackneyed formula: Bland, meaningless string- I can't say sentence; so I have to resort to computer language to describe the assemblages of words he puts between periods- followed by another string that begins with "however", "although", or "but." Apparently he didn't write this book; he word processed it. Having conjured up an incoherent notion, he characteristically begins the next sentence with something along the lines of "This can often...." What the "this" refers to, not even he could figure out. As if all these travesties were not awful enough, he greatly prefers the passive over the active voice.
Besides being useful in the war on terror, the book might serve well for beginning courses on "How to Edit Pitiful Writing." Almost every sentence contains at least one example of how not to write.
Well, now I've told the truth and feel guilty for trashing the book and its author. Is there something nice I can say about Stephan Leimberg? The nicest thing I can think of to say is this: Maybe he didn't actually write the book.

Not for average consumer.......2004-05-21

I do not recommend this book as a main source of information for the average reader. It is informational, but probably incomplete and not useful in deciding which plan to implement. It is used as a supplement (not even the main textbook) in an advanced Certified Financial Planning (CFP) course. Students in this course already have proven knowledge of key concepts regarding taxes, investments, risk management-insurance, etc. This is tough education/training that is being undertaken by people who's main job is (will be) to advise on these subjects.

Informative But Organized Poorly........2004-04-22

The other review for this book refers to it as dry. Frankly, I have yet to read a riveting book on the retirement plan regulations. Liemberg touches on all the relevent topics that can arise when planning a retirement program for a company or an individual. What makes the book so tedious is that so much of the first 250 pages covering the various retirement saving vehicles rehash the same ERISA/IRS regulations every chapter. Chapters 25 through 27 which sumarize these regulations should be at the beginning of the book and then each chapter covering a retirement plan would only need a table referring to them. Liemberg instead tortures the readers with them in virtually every chapter from Ch.s 8 - 24. The meat of the book is then followed by about 25 short chapters covering all sorts of additional corporate benefits such as life and health insurance and reimbursement plans. Leimberg should be applauded for including so many topics but should have gotten his act together with the organization after 8 editions. For those of you that need to read this for the CFP or related professional tests, I suggest reading chapters 25-27 before reading Ch.s 8-24.

Poorly Written Textbook.......2004-02-21

This is a poorly written textbook. It is dry, uninformative and lacks any cohesive organization that would make the material easier to understand. The author uses a set template for each topic (Advantages, Disadvantages, Tax Implications etc.) that sometimes fits and sometimes does not fit the topic at hand. In more than one case, there are bullet items that repeat the same text as previously bulleted items. This is just sloppy editing and a lack of attentiveness ...
