  FROM THE NATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF BRAND WARFARE   
  A genuine winner shows you how to stand out from the crowd   
  As CEO of John Hancock Financial Services and the bestselling author of Brand Warfare, David D'Alessandro knows plenty about breaking away from the pack. In Career Warfare, this ultimate insider tells the true story of how he learned the unwritten rules of corporate ladder climbing.   
  In his signature, outspoken style, D'Alessandro offers concrete advice on building a reputation that commands respect, coping with office politics, and surviving the less-than-sane aspects of any organization. He explains why only 20 percent of the people in a given corporation are truly valuable to the organization, demonstrates the right way to polish the boss's image and prevent the boss from tarnishing the reader's, and provides valuable lessons in the etiquette of reputation building.   
  Through engaging, often-hilarious stories drawn from his own dramatic climb to the top, David D'Alessandro speaks to success-oriented readers at every level and explains:  How to make people want to take a chance on them  How to gain and keep a great reputation  Why success will not proceed in a rational manner  Why hard work and accomplishment aren't enough  What character has to do with it

Drucker demonstrates the distinctive skill of the executive and offers fresh insights into old and seemingly obvious business situations.Peter F.

  In Too Deep - BP and the...

  The Gulf deep water well disaster has focused attention on BP's management and their unfortunate PR and media gaffes. Tony Hayward and Swedish Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg elicit no sympathy, and do cause people to wonder about their management capabilities. Others, perhaps BP apologists or those with a no deep sea well drilling agenda, seem to suggest that this was bound to happen and BP just happened to be the unlucky company to which this disaster befell.But Stanley Reed, who has been covering the company for over 10 years, knows otherwise. His reporting over 10 years shows that there is a very good reason that it was a BP well that burst, and not Exxon or Shell. And the blame likely lays squarely on the shoulders of former CEO John Browne, who was forced to resign after salacious details of his private life emerged in 2007. Browne was beloved by investors for his growth strategy that saw BP's stock rise and reward investors. However, the acquisitions came at a price, with an explosion that killed 15 workers in 2005 and spillage from corroded pipes in 2006. However, the media and public didn't seem to focus attention on these incidents. Perhaps BP's "Beyond Petroleum" strategy was working better than anyone realized.The reality is that Browne built a company focused on risk-taking and cost cutting - cultural assets in some areas that ended up being cultural poison in the area of deepwater drilling. The story of how the Gulf disaster happened, and the behind the scenes management of the company, is a fascinating object lesson that we will be learning from for decades.

  Prison Profiteers - Who Makes...

  “No country in history has ever handed over so many inmates to private corporations. This book looks at the consequences” (Eric Schlosser, bestselling author of Fast Food Nation).   In Prison Profiteers, coeditors Tara Herivel and Paul Wright “follow the money to an astonishing constellation of prison administrators and politicians working in collusion with private parties to maximize profits” (Publishers Weekly). From investment banks, guard unions, and the makers of Taser stun guns to health care providers, telephone companies, and the US military (which relies heavily on prison labor), this network of perversely motivated interests has turned the imprisonment of 1 out of every 135 Americans into a lucrative business.   Called “an essential read for anyone who wants to understand what’s gone wrong with criminal justice in the United States” by ACLU National Prison Project director Elizabeth Alexander, this incisive and deftly researched volume shows how billions of tax dollars designated for the public good end up lining the pockets of those private enterprises dedicated to keeping prisons packed.   “An important analysis of a troubling social trend” that is sure to inform and outrage any concerned citizen, Prison Profiteers reframes the conversation by exposing those who stand to profit from the imprisonment of millions of Americans (Booklist).   “Indispensable . . . An easy and accessible read—and a necessary one.” —The San Diego Union-Tribune   “This is lucid, eye-opening reading for anyone interested in American justice.” —Publishers Weekly   “Impressive . . . A thoughtful, comprehensive and accessible analysis of the money trail behind the prison-industrial-complex.” —The Black Commentator
