Summary

Henry George's seminal work 'Progress and Poverty, Volumes I and II' is a groundbreaking treatise that delves into economic theories, social justice, and the disparities of wealth and poverty in society. Written with a clear and compelling literary style, George presents a thorough analysis of the causes of poverty and the impacts of progress on social conditions. The book is a significant contribution to the field of political economy, challenging conventional wisdom and offering innovative solutions to alleviate poverty and promote economic equality. George's eloquent prose and meticulous research make this work a must-read for those interested in economic theory and social reform in the late 19th century. The book's relevance and influence continue to resonate in contemporary discussions on income inequality and social justice. Henry George, a social reformer and economist, was deeply concerned with the social consequences of industrialization and urbanization. His advocacy for a single tax system, known as the 'Georgist' philosophy, reflects his commitment to creating a more just and equitable society. 'Progress and Poverty' serves as a testament to George's dedication to addressing the pressing issues of his time and offers valuable insights for addressing similar challenges today. I highly recommend this enlightening and thought-provoking book to anyone interested in exploring the intersection of economics, social policy, and moral philosophy.

    We live in an exciting time. Technology, globalization and demographic shifts provide new potential for personal and business success. Yet, research tells that only 30% of our attempts to implement change succeed amid the turbulence we encounter both within and outside today’s organizations. We need new ways of thinking and doing if we are to turn potential into performance. Managing at the Leading Edge provides a new evidence-based roadmap for leadership success in a dynamic context. 
 
 
Managing at the Leading Edge highlights lessons from the navigation and piloting practices used in high performing sailing. In the contemporary “white water” business environment, as at sea, achieving goals requires choosing a destination amidst uncertainty, adjusting to continually shifting conditions, converting the push and pull of environmental forces into momentum and using different skills at different times to negotiate hazards and achieve success. 
 
 
Easy-to-grasp and recall, this book proposes a framework of leadership with a dual focus on navigating and piloting. This framework is supported by new evidence-based insights about personal and organizational high performance. Systematic comparisons of high performing leaders and organizations with leaders and organizations that have not yet achieved this distinction illustrate how the principles of navigation and piloting apply. This research featured surveys of over 1,000 senior and mid-level leaders, the results of over a 100 interviews and the author’s extensive consultation experience with a host of leaders and organizations. 
 
 
Through case studies, discussion of relevant research, practical tools and templates, Managing at the Leading Edge will help you learn: 
 
 
* The critical tasks of leader navigating and piloting that lead to successful business change 
 
* Leadership skills through which the critical tasks of navigating and piloting are successfully executed including accountability, influence, problem solving agility and engagement 
 
* Strategies and tactics for managing points along a strategic initiative’s leading edge through with resistance to change is converted into momentum and progress 
 
* The critical hand-offs between the navigating and piloting functions and these functions drive change at the leading edge as synchronized system of high performance leadership 
 
* Leadership practices that create organizational high performance 
 
 
Armed with leadership capabilities of high performance navigating and piloting you will be able to recognize and act on opportunities for enhanced leadership impact and achieve results that matter for you, your peers and your organization.

    In any business or money-making venture, preparation and foreknowledge are the keys to success. Without this sort of insight, the attempt to make a profitable financial decision can only end in disaster and failure, regardless of your level of motivation and determination or the amount of money you plan to invest. 
In the stock market, this rule applies to the nth degree, as you are investing your own money in what could be considered a high risk wager, and you are playing with fire if you do not have at least a general background knowledge of how it functions. Since having a background in any area is helpful in guiding you down a path in that particular region, the more solid your basis of investment knowledge is, the more likely you are to profit from any attempt to trade on the open market. 
You could spend hours and hours researching the stock market and its functionality, learning how to become involved in the trade and who to contact to get in the game, especially if your interest lies in the Foreign Exchange Market, which goes far beyond the level of complication of the domestic stock market. However, in this book, you will find all the basic information you need to get started down the path to trading success. 
All of the leg work and tough research has been done for you, collecting the data and knowledge into one source from which you can gain enough insight to make you a successful trader on the open market. All you have to do is read in order to gain knowledge and wisdom, step by step that will bring you to a heady level of success. In this eBook, you will find all such helpful information, all brought together in one single source for ease of reference.

    “A lavishly illustrated and meticulously researched overview of the aerospace giant’s first century.” —Aviation Week   Over the course of a century, the Boeing Company grew from a small outfit operating out of a converted boathouse—producing a single pontoon plane made from canvas and wood—into the world’s largest aerospace company. The thrilling story of the celebrated organization is filled with ambition, ingenuity, and a passion to exceed expectations.   In this extensively illustrated book, Pulitzer Prize–nominated author Russ Banham recounts the tale of a company and an industry like no other—one that has put men on the moon, defended the free world, and changed the way we live.   “Higher ably commemorates Boeing’s enduring achievement, gliding nimbly through its triumphs of design, engineering and manufacture and, not least, its memorable contributions to wars won.” —The Wall Street Journal
