Summary

Project Failures tackles the widespread issue of why projects falter despite careful planning and substantial investment. It identifies inadequate planning, poor communication, and ineffective risk management as key culprits behind project mismanagement. The book emphasizes that systemic issues, rather than just technical problems or individual shortcomings, often lead to failure. For instance, unrealistic expectations can cripple planning, while a disconnect among stakeholders can stem from poor communication.

 
The book draws from decades of research and real-world experience to present actionable strategies for preventing failure. It provides a holistic approach, stressing the importance of realistic planning, transparent communication, and robust risk mitigation. The analysis blends academic research, industry reports, and case studies, offering practical solutions applicable across diverse industries.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with the core concepts of project failure, delving into specific causes like planning deficiencies and communication breakdowns, and culminating in a guide to implementing preventative measures. Unique in its emphasis on actionable strategies, Project Failures goes beyond problem identification to offer concrete solutions. It also highlights the importance of stakeholder engagement and fostering a culture of accountability.

 
By addressing organizational behavior and strategic planning, the book provides valuable insights for project managers, business leaders, and students alike, helping them enhance project success rates and learn from both successes and failures.

    In a recent national survey (Quantus Insights - June 2025), the majority of voters say it's time to get rid of the income tax, and half the voters also support abolishing the IRS. Tax Revolution 2.0 is a clear and concise look at the various options for replacing the current system. There is no perfect tax system, and you will learn there's only one choice that works for everyone. Unfortunately, there is no way we can pay for the services we need without collecting a tax. So what's the answer? Replace the current system with one that is transparent, fair (treats everyone the same) and efficient.. no more long hours filling out forms. In 1775, a group of patriots said "no" to King George and dumped tea in the Boston Harbor to protest taxation without repressentation. Until 1913, we didn' t have an income tax. And, we don't need it now. The present system is broken, unfair, flawed, and the tax gap of what is collected versus what is owed is reaching $1 Trillion per year, according to the IRS. Get the whole story and what you can do to bring about Tax Revolution... 2.0. This will change everything and make America the greatest econommic powerhouse in the world.

    Nuclear Revolution - Powering...

    “Jack Spencer tells it the way it is and needs to be to make nuclear energy an affordable choice for America. Read this thoughtful and provocative book written by one of America’s great conservative thinkers.” — William Martin, Former Deputy Energy Secretary; Chair, Nuclear Energy Advisory Committee
    		 
    Skyrocketing energy prices are placing downward pressure on economic growth throughout the world. There seems to be no relief in sight, with hundreds of millions without access to reliable energy and with global energy consumption expected to grow by 50 percent over the next 30 years. Some would impose energy rationing―or in other words, slow human progress. But with nearly 46 percent of the world’s population living on less than $5.50 per day, slowing human progress is unacceptable. The only solution is more energy and lots of it.
    		 
    Jack Spencer, in his upcoming book, Nuclear Revolution: Powering the Next Generation, argues that nuclear energy offers real answers to power our homes and industries, clean our air and water, and maybe even take us to Mars. However, we have been getting nuclear power wrong for decades.
    		 
    Skeptics say that nuclear energy is too expensive and threatens the world with the proliferation of nuclear weapons material and radioactive waste. Proponents say that nuclear power needs and deserves the support of the state and the taxpayer, cradle to grave. The time has come, Spencer argues, to think big nuclear energy and pull it out of the time capsule that pop culture, environmental activists, lobbyists, peaceniks, and policymakers are all too content to leave nuclear in.
    		 
    Spencer writes that while the government-industry partnership that defined the early years of America’s commercial nuclear rise was essential to the nation’s security, reluctance to modernize that relationship has prevented the American nuclear industry from reaching its full potential. In its place, Spencer offers an alternative that shatters how we think about nuclear energy policy and realigns the responsibilities of government and industry with the incentives that will drive America to success.
    		 
    Nuclear Revolution describes why government intervention in the nuclear industry is a problem, how to move from the status quo to something new, and why such reforms will kick off an era of nuclear entrepreneurship and innovation. Over 70 years ago, nuclear energy entered the scene with great promise. Now more than ever, the world needs that promise delivered, and America can lead the way.
