Summary

DRAWING ON DECADES OF EXPERIENCE leading companies in a variety of sectors, G.T. “Toby” Stansell has written an engaging, often hilarious, practical guide for business leaders in tent on leading their businesses to excellence. Leaders all over the world have experienced what they fondly call “Tobyisms,” what Stansell refers to as “mantras for excellence.” The Winding Road to Excellence builds on pithy, memorable mantras like: “Humility is more important than visibility;” “Authentic living precedes authentic leadership;” and “ Everyone, from the janitor to the king, deserves to be treated well.” These powerful shorthand ideas are developed and made memorable through engaging stories of how Stansell discovered their wisdom ... often the hard way. The Winding Road to Excellence is destined to become a must-have desk-side resource leaders will return to again and again.

    No.1 bestselling author Gill Sims is back with her eagerly awaited fourth and final Why Mummy novel. 
I just wanted them to stop wittering at me, eat vegetables without complaining, let me go to the loo in peace and learn to make a decent gin and tonic.   
Mummy has been a wife and mother for so long that she’s a little bit lost. And despite her best efforts, her precious moppets still don’t know the location of the laundry basket, the difference between being bored and being hungry, or that saying ‘I can’t find it Mummy’ is not the same as actually looking for it! 
Amidst the chaos of A-Levels and driving tests, she’s doing her best to keep her family afloat, even if everybody is set on drifting off in different directions, and that one of those directions is to make yet another bloody snack. She’s feeling overwhelmed and under appreciated, and the only thing that Mummy knows for sure is that the bigger the kids, the bigger the drink.Reader reviews for Why Mummy’s Sloshed

Not a problem! If anyone can get his friends and family through a nightmare like this, it’s Jace Stanford!

Reviews- 
“It's the last push to reach safety for Long Pork and his very extended family. Lots of fighting, swearing, laughs and tears as Jace carries on with his bumbling, brilliant plans, stumpageddon and his "thoughts out loud". There is continuous action, with barely a moment to catch your breath throughout the whole book.” -PJ Lea, 5-star Goodreads review 
“It's hard to keep coming up with unique situations and solutions to those situations but Jake bible does it with a F*ck ton of humor and violence. I like the characters, scratch that, I love the characters. I recommend it for the horror/humor crowd.” -Stephanie H, 5-star Goodreads review
