    Why do managers at all levels shy away from the tough decisions  that lead to success rather than mediocrity? This book is about why  managers often have so much trouble making tough decisions. It  pinpoints the types of problems and failures that result from  organizations that suffer from a lack of courage. The heart of the  book will be ten obvious, hard-core principles- comprising a  roadmap with which managers will be able to confront their inner  wimp and find their inner courage.   The more responsibility a manager gets, the likelier he or she  will face tough decisions. Often, however, there is: no ideal  option; a lack of data; guaranteed disappointment; or long-term  perspective needed. A whole lot of managers, when faced with tough  decisions, will crumble. Whether making decisions for a department,  a division, or the whole company, all managers have experienced the  situation where they know what they need to do, but also know that  these steps will be unpopular. And they worry that it might in fact  be dead wrong. They will decide to delay, further analyze,  massively compromise, ignore the whole thing, or employ any other  tactic to avoid dealing with the situation.  Often, managers fail to provide courageous leadership on the  tough issues because they fall victim to one or more of the  following types of very human behaviors: avoiding conflict;  striving for certainty; avoiding a career risk; lack of  self-confidence; lack of a sense of urgency; or protecting their  turf. There are huge implications for this lack of courage to  confront the critical decisions.  Operational and innovative excellence can only come with gutsy  leadership. This book will tell every manager how to get there,  with 10 clear steps, featuring dynamic real world examples from  Microsoft, Porsche, Philips, IBM, Merck, Canon, Sony, Dow,  Whirlpool, IDEO, Tesco, P&G, Target, Tyco, Deere, 3M, Starwood,  Gillette, Sprint, Hyundai, HP, Apple, BP, Volkswagon, Bayer, &  Nestle.

    ZOOM takes listeners inside the global race to build the car of the future, as pioneers in Japan, India, China, and the USA tackle the challenge of creating automobiles that will run on cleaner energy sources. The authors write: "Oil is the problem. Cars are the solution." We are living in the midst of a Great Awakening in which environmentalists, entrepreneurs, and political leaders are forming new alliances to end our addiction to oil and create new technologies. The days of Big Oil and Big Auto are numbered, according to the authors, who show how we are in the midst of a major transformation from carbon-based energy sources to new fuels and technologies.ZOOM traces the history of the linked industries of oil and automobiles, and how the two have shaped domestic capitalism and the international landscape, creating both progress and peril. They explain how Toyota vanquished American competitors to become the world's largest automobile manufacturer and, more importantly, a leader in hybrid cars using electric power. They take us into the boardrooms of oil executives and show how some are boldly exploring new energy sources while others deny the dangers posed by oil and risk extinction. With wide-ranging analysis and a keen view of the key players in the intersecting worlds of energy and automobiles, authors Iain Carson and Vijay Vaitheeswaran tell the story of what may be the most important challenge facing the industrial world: How to make the transition from the Age of Petroleum to a cleaner and better future.

In the world that we live in today, it is no secret that valor is lacking in the man of our age. With technological advancements and many other societal aspects, many men believe that there are fewer reasons to bare valor than ever before.

In “Valor”, I will lead you through a series of 7 different assertions.

·       What Valor allows one to do
