Leadership and Success
Leadership and Success in Organizations, Culture, & Ethics

How vast is the topic of Leadership & Success? How can you benefit from skills in leadership? Can there be success without leadership in some area? Are the principles and practices the same for an individual, a group, or a society? Is this a topic that can be taught or is it something that is innate? Are the principles global? How do you define leadership? What is success?

The topic is too broad for a single book. The series of three volumes is structured on the three areas of leadership involvement and is arranged in the order in which you, as a leader, can have the most impact: people, organizations, and society. Each group of topics has the ingredients that will impact your success as a leader.

The first volume, on relationships and communication, deals with personal or internal actions. The second, on organizations, culture, and ethics, is about group or horizontal interactions. The third, on economics, law, and technology, looks at society or external influences.

How is the best way to use the series? The books are structured for seminars and personal study. Although the combination of books makes an excellent text for technical and engineering management courses or executive development programs, they are beneficial to anyone desiring to improve skills.

Group or horizontal interactions

The second book in the series, on organizations, culture, and ethics, deals with the makeup of a venture or association. These chapters are primarily oriented toward optimizing the performance within a group that may be global.

You're Hired: How to Succeed in Business and Life from the Winner of The Apprentice

From Publishers Weekly

The author won on the reality TV show The Apprentice, in which Donald Trump (who provides a foreword) slowly eliminates potential personal assistants until one is left standing. Rancic puts down, in tumbling first-person prose, the strategy he used to win, as well as how, back in 1995, he co-founded and ran a small mail-order company, Cigars Around the World. Rancic never went to business school, and his book might be boiled down to "rely on your observations and common sense, and on your close relationships." Nearly every chapter is loaded with advice gleaned from family members or friends with whom he has collaborated, salted with a smattering of approaches Rancic picked up from his own reading of how-tos and from his work life. The result sets the book apart: Rancic takes work seriously, and everything in the book is something he personally has tried out; his successes and travails (including a fire at his company) come through clearly and conversationally, as from a big brother. The last two of seven chapters cover his time on the show with "Mr. Trump" and offer candid takes on the other contestants and the show's productions. For a loquacious "how-I-did-it," Rancic's book debut is surprisingly satisfying.


From Booklist

Who would have thought that a real-life TV series on business and its struggles would command such a large viewership? This autobiography of The Apprentice's first winner gives a few clues about the show's popularity--other than host Donald Trump and the competition to win a 12-month $250,000 salary. First, contestants were carefully screened and more than well prepared to test their individual and collective mettles on a broadcast medium. Second, Rancic himself can already claim success as an entrepreneur, as his stories about the start-ups of Elite Boat Wash and Wax and Cigars Around the World reveal. Along with growing-up anecdotes interspersed with The Apprentice tales, he synopsizes at the end of each chapter lessons he learned in work and in life. Bet the long shot. Go above and beyond. Listen. Count on family. Give something back. Surprising words from a wise, young soul. Barbara Jacobs
