    Golda Mabovitch Meir (May 3, 1898 - December 8, 1978) was an Israeli politician who served as the fourth prime minister of Israel from 1969 to 1974. She was Israel's first and only female head of government, the first female head of government in the Middle East, and the fourth elected female head of government or state in the world. Born in Kiev in the Russian Empire to Jewish parents, Meir immigrated as a child with her family to the United States in 1906. She graduated from the Milwaukee State Normal School and found work as a teacher. While in Milwaukee, she embraced the Labor Zionist movement and, in 1921, Meir and her husband emigrated to Mandatory Palestine. She was a signatory of the Israeli Declaration of Independence in 1948, and was elected to the Knesset in 1949. She served as Labor Minister until 1956, when she was appointed Foreign Minister by Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion. A controversial figure in Israel, Meir has been lionized as a founder of the state and described as the "Iron Lady" of Israeli politics, but also widely blamed for the country being caught by surprise during the war of 1973. 
     
    In this 1970 recording, Meir answers questions shortly after a Swissair Flight 330 from Zurich to Hong Kong, with a planned stopover in Tel Aviv, was brought down by a bomb planted by two PLO members soon after takeoff, killing all 47 passengers and crew.

  • This Is Not A Leadership Book - 20 Rules for Success - cover

    This Is Not A Leadership Book -...

    Part leadership book, part business book, and 100% true, this is like hearing a wise, honest, and humorous mentor finally tell you about the world of business as it is and how to find your place in it. 
     
     
     
    Many leadership books are either shallow (focusing on only one element of leadership), narrow (examining leadership out of context), or biased (selling an idealized model). This book seeks simplicity without being simplistic and focuses on the listener in their context rather than describing other people's leadership in theirs. It sets out twenty rules for success that draw on Emmanuel Gobillot's twenty years of experience advising high-performing leaders. Each rule is presented in an engaging, instantly recognizable true story that helps current and aspiring leaders to look differently at their own situation. 
     
     
     
    Best described as a leadership development program, this book takes you on a fast-paced, three-step journey from what it takes to be a leader, to why you can be one, via how to succeed.

    The Tin Ringis a moving memoir of love, loss and hope. This new edition has been published in celebration of Zdenka's 100th birthday.
    Zdenka's peaceful life was changed forever when she was sent to Terezin concentration camp. Here, she was given a humble engraved tin ring by her first love Arno. She survived six concentration camps, endured horrors the like of which most of us can't begin to comprehend, yet never lost the will to live.
    When Arno gave her the ring he said, 'That's for our engagement. And, to keep you safe. If we are both alive when the war ends I will find you.'The ring was the symbol of his love – a tin ring – that gave her the hope to endure unimaginable suffering and survive in the belief that they would one day be re-united.
    Zdenka protected this little tin ring with her life and with astonishing determination. Never falling into destructive self-pity, her compassion for other people, her sense of humour and the ability to take remarkable risks, are just part of Zdenka's indomitable spirit.
    Zdenka survived six concentration camps including Auschwitz, Gross Rosen, Mauthausen and Belsen – the worst of all. In the last chaotic days of the war in Belsen she crawled to a Red Cross post. There she was saved by an unknown British soldier to whom the book is dedicated.
