A propos de cet article

Fine condition mustard boards/black spine/gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Acknowledgments; Preface: "You Don't Have to Be a Rocket Scientist - But If You're a CEO, It Helps!"; Epilogue: The Next Journey in Augustine's Travels; and Index. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. "When the top-ranking executive of the world's largest aerospace corporation takes a trip - both the introspective and the transcontinental kinds - you can bet it's going to be a fabulous journey. Join Norman R. Augustine as he recounts his travels around the world and across the business landscape: the adventures, mind-boggling challenges, even the stomach-churning bouts of bad timing. Along the way, Augustine offers a wealth of real-life stories and witty, insightful commentary on a wide array of issues that go beyond the balance sheet, including: Ethics: Dispelling the popular notion that CEOs are just a pack of profit-seekers, Augustine recounts his experience with executives who have put ethics first - making it the backbone of their endeavors and behaviors. Leadership: As an engineer turned manager turned executive, Augustine learned the art of leadership by watching and doing. He pinpoints and shares what he has observed makes successful leaders tick. Competitiveness: Augustine explores ways to succeed in today's volatile, dynamic, and highly competitive global marketplace. And he reveals three key concepts that helped Lockheed Martin rebuild its competitive strength during a decade of tectonic change. Mergers and Acquisitions: Having experienced the consequences of a hostile, chaotic takeover attempt and participated in relatively smooth, successful mergers, Augustine turns a trained eye to these gargantuan business deals - and explains what really happens and what really works. Re-engineering: As head of a corporation that's been through almost continuous restructuring, Augustine offers seven "pretty good, but difficult and painful" rules to make re-engineering real. With its sage advice and probing insights, Augustine's Travels is one adventure that's not to be missed." "There is no leader in American today whom I respect more than Norm Augustine. He is a master at imparting his observations with clarity and humility." - Randall L. Tobias, Chairman and CEO, Eli Lilly and Company "In Norm Augustine, one finds extraordinary leadership, integrity, and vision, intertwined with humor and boundless compassion." - Elizabeth Dole, President, American Red Cross "No one can match Augustine's ethical leadership or managerial qualities. Over the years I have marveled as he applied his insights to his ever-impressive success story." - Melvin R. Laird, Former U.S. Secretary of Defense "Norman Augustine has demonstrated over and over again an impressive ability to analyze difficult problems and situations, and come up with highly effective solutions. He is, indeed, one of our nation's most talented, capable, and creative corporate executives." - Sanford N. McDonnell, Chairman Emeritus, McDonnell Douglas. …

Description de la boutique

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
