some interesting stuff, but..........2006-08-10

there's some interesting stuff in here, particularly in the area of computer forensics. but the book jumps all over the place. it starts with an good story of a real forensic raid (i beleive just the names were changed to protect the innocent), but abruptly switches to entirely unrelated situations. it eventually drops the storyline altogether, leaving you wondering how it ended and what the aftermath was.

Crumbs left behind.......2005-11-12

This book is fascinating. The style of writing allows you to go inside the minds of corporate fraud offenders. In order to do the crime it fosters accomplices along the way. The amazing thread is that the criminals have their scheme planned out but they forget one critical element, there's always someone that can find the trail that's left behind. Computer fingerprints. I thought that the book was eloquently written and I walked away with a clear understanding of corporate criminal fraud and what criminals will do for greed.

Two thumbs up!.......2005-06-13

This book was recommended to me by a coworker when I was working at one of the big four in the area of data mining. I was at first skeptical of the depth of its IT specifics but quickly realized that between the gripping lines of adventure the author skillfully embedded vital knowledge that's critical for anyone who wants to get the insight of corporate systems, IT infrastructures, and how they work together. In the format for a novel, the author took me on an exciting and informative ride in the world of corporate forensic investigation.

not what i expected.......2005-03-03

boring and not in depth. if you are looking for an adventure, this is not the book for you.

Interesting reading.......2004-11-02

Security literature is filled with titles on procedures, processes, and details of performing forensic investigations. Despite its title, this book is not another one. Equal parts autobiography, mystery, biography, and action thriller, the book is an overview of the cases and characters with which the author, a forensic investigator at Deloitte and Touche, has been involved.

In chapter after chapter, the reader receives a high-level view of the tools and technologies used in forensic investigations, then learns the inner workings of specific corporate frauds. These cases range from garden-variety frauds to cybercrime.

One fascinating chapter explores the disposition of a bank account dormant since the Holocaust and how forensic investigators cracked the case 60 years after the fact. It describes how a large group of investigators went to Switzerland to determine the beneficiaries of dormant World War II-era Swiss bank accounts. The chapter details methodology used to retrieve documents and to discover what was hidden and who was entitled to it.

Geared for management-level readers without much technical background, the book spares the reader byte-by-byte details on forensic evidence gathering and handling. Story after story gives readers a very accessible account of how investigators detected fraud, misuse, and a wide range of other corporate criminality. With its real-life drama, the book is both an enjoyable and instructive read.

Book Description

To Queue Or Not To Queue: Equilibrium Behavior in Queueing Systems focuses on the highly interesting, practical viewpoint of customer behavior and its effect on the performance of the queueing system. The book's objectives are threefold: (1) It is a comprehensive survey of the literature on equilibrium behavior of customers and servers in queueing systems. The literature is rich and considerable, but lacks continuity. This book will provide the needed continuity and cover some issues that have not been adequately treated. (2) In addition, it will examine the known results of the field, classify them and identify where and how they relate to each other. (3) And finally, it seeks to fill a number of the gaps in the literature with new results while explicitly outlining open problems in other areas. With this book, it is the authors' paramount purpose is to motivate further research and to help researchers identify new and interesting open problems.

Book Description

In this revolutionary age of information systems, this book offers a unified approach to systems management that triggers greater speed of action and increases flexibility and productivity. The book presents system processes joined to computer technology for innovative management of resources for more effective attainment of goals. The traditional foundation of a system's productive power must rest on updated management processes of the system's four elements-natural resources, technology or artificial resources, natural decomposition or specialization, and work integration or exchange. Systems Management weaves through these elements within the context of the ongoing information revolution.

Stream of consciousness.......1999-12-30

Wow. This is truly the worst book I've ever read! The intended audience is unknown. It delves into managerial as well as engineering topics.

The biggest problem is that the book is merely a collection of bullets (notes, really). There is no point to any one page of the entire book.

These are merely a collection of rambling notes about too many subjects. And there's no underlying theme or point.

As a matter of fact, I couldn't get through any chapter, as I wasn't learning a damned thing along the way. If I wanted to learn about computers, I'd get a book on that subject.

It seems that Hassab wanted to be able to tell himself "Hey, I've written a book on systems."

See for yourself. I challenge *anyone* to get anything useful from this "book."

One redeeming quality: the books in the bibliography are good.

Book Description

The primary purpose of this study was to provide an analysis of the effectiveness of leadership through the interpersonal relationship between a team leader and a team. This research paper attempted to define "how" leaders create and handle effective teams. Specifically, this study was focused on UXO teams in a UXO environment performing a UXO clearance project still in progress. It was the aim of this study to provide information that will be beneficial to team leaders and will contribute to improvement of UXO team leadership techniques. METHOD This research evaluated the relationship between the leadership demonstrated by team leaders and the effectiveness and productivity of the teams. Adoption and use of Frank LaFasto and Carl Larson's (2001) six key dimensions (focus on the goal, ensure a collaborative climate, build confidence, demonstrate sufficient technical know-how, set priorities, and manage performance) provided the basis for this study. Frank LaFasto, Ph.D. and Carl Larson, Ph.D. developed the survey instrument adopted for this study, known as the Collaborative Team Leader Instrument, from an evaluation of approximately 600 team leaders and measures team leader effectiveness across the six key dimensions. FINDINGS The findings identified in this study provide some empirical support and insight into the strengths and weaknesses found in one case study. The findings revealed positive correlation in many of the researched areas within each hypothesis in the relationships and perceptions between team leaders and team members. However, the findings also indicated considerable negative correlation within one of the dimensions, the demonstration of sufficient technical know-how, which was actually expected to be one of the strongest. Overall it is concluded that this research has made an important contribution towards defining: how a leader creates and handles an effective unexploded ordnance team. The findings of this study should be beneficial to team leaders and contribute to improvement of UXO team leadership techniques.

Book Description

This book serves as a guided introduction to the rich a diverse perspectives on leadership throughout the ages and throughout the world. Each of the selections, introduced by the editor, presents enlightening thoughts on a different aspect of leadership. Writings by Plato, Aristotle, Lao-tzu and others demonstrate that the challenges of leadership are as old as civilization. Machiavelli, Tolstoy, Ghandi, and W.E.B. Du Bois provide a wide range of insights into the eternal practice and problems of leadership. Modern masters of leadership such as James MacGregor Burns, John Kotter, and Warren Bennis join such leading practitioners as Max De Pree and Roger B. Smith in discussing contemporary issues in leadership theory and practice.

Leader's Companion.......2007-02-17

The book has a good general overview of concepts important to leadership and explores many of those concepts in depth. It is structured in an organized way, too.

A valuable resource..........2007-02-14

This book was an assigned text in a leadership course for seminary. I was pleasantly surprised by this collection of essays and excerpts from many classic leadership books. I anticipated a rather dry book, but I was pleased by the level of engagement that I experienced throughout the readings, with very few exceptions.

The format helps with this, as most readings were ten pages or less. This made the book very digestible and accessible, as it moved from topic to topic and from author to author. This format also served as a primary drawback of the book, as it is obviously impossible to establish any sort of continuity. To that end, however, the editor very strategically organized and categorized the various selections, thereby making it as coherent as the format would allow.

Ultimately, I was favorably impressed with Wren's "The Leader's Companion." It's a book that I'm glad to have on my shelf, as I'll certainly refer to specific essays in the future as various situations arise in my leadership settings. Though I wouldn't describe it as dynamic or inspiring, it is certainly a helpful resource for anyone interested in the study of leadership.

Very unique book.......2005-09-01

I would recommend this book to be used in a classroom because of its extreme variety. It jumps all over the place and is really filled with theory but is a great book to bring about discussions.
I tend to disagree with it but it has redefined my perspective on leadership.
It goes as far as to say why we should not teach leadership. I feel you can not be taught to be a great leader but you can be taught essential element in becoming an outstanding leader if you choose to personally master those elements.

weLEAD Book Review from the Editor of leadingtoday.org.......2004-12-22

Books on leadership now abound in bookstores and in our popular consciousness. Anyone who begins a serious study into this subject will soon come across familiar names such as John Gardner, James MacGregor Burns, Robert Greenleaf, Bernard Bass, Kenneth Blanchard, Terrence Deal, Warren Bennis, Max De Pree and others. Wouldn't it be wonderful if one book contained some of the most insightful writings and thoughts of these individuals? The Leaders Companion - Insights on Leadership Through the Ages is such a book and should be on every leader's bookshelf!

This massive work is edited by J. Thomas Wren and he undertakes a difficult task. Wren constructs the book with three basic premises. First, that leadership is not just a modern "fad", but is "central to the human condition". Leadership as a concept is both current and timeless. The second premise of the book is that leadership is not just the province of a select few, but is available to all. Thirdly, and perhaps the most important premise is that leadership is a valuable area of study, especially the process of leadership. Wren hopes the reader will appreciate the "real end of leadership: the achievement of mutual goals which are intended to enhance one's group, organization or society."

To initiate these premises the book approaches leadership from a broad perspective. Wren draws upon a broad range of classical writers, leadership scholars, and the wisdom of modern leaders. The book is divided into thirteen parts that guide the reader through the complex structure we commonly call leadership. Wren acknowledges that understanding this process lies at the heart of improving our lives, surroundings, and world.

This book is an outstanding collection of various leadership perspectives and models. He has opened up the study of leadership through the ages and from a worldview of different cultures. The Leaders Companion - Insights on Leadership Through the Ages is great reading and should be part of your own leadership library!

Great compendium, but slanted toward social-psychological..........2002-03-01

This book consists of 64 excerpts from (mostly) modern writers about leadership, with a social-psychological perspective. (The non-modern excerpts are from, for example, Plato, Machiavelli, Tolstoy, Lao-tzu, Carlyle, etc.) There are a couple of chapters dealing with women's leadership. The editor, J. Thomas Wren, has struggled to find common grounds--e.g., modern views of leadership, leaders and followers together, the leadership environment. Nearly all writings are slanted toward social-psychological, around concepts like "transaction," "transforming," behavioral theories, system perspectives, influence, tactics, organizational decision-making, and so forth.

A friend noted the paucity of "high quality" mass leadership in today's America--he was speaking of the Enron mess and the financial predations of high-power executive America, the corruption of the political process by highly expensive campaigns, the stagnation of our drug "war," and the pervasive ironic cynicism in public commentary. This book does not deal with the absence of leadership, unfortunately, or the inability of America to handle fast-moving problems (such as global warming, and our contribution to it)--but it is great background material and well worth reading.
