BECOMING THE BEST To achieve five business "bests," follow four principles: "know yourself," build positive relationships, develop self-confidence and respect everyone. Harry M. Jansen Kraemer Jr., a professor and former CEO, has written a straightforward book on leadership that's full of no-nonsense advice. Using case studies and wisdom gathered during his long career, he prescribes following four easy- to-understand principles to achieve "five bests" in your career and your life. As he explains, "what it means to be a values-based leader and build a world-class organization," Kraemer helps you become a better person and, therefore, a better leader. He advises knowing your values and then consistently aligning your actions with those values, always resisting quick wins that clash with your beliefs. That, he says, is the way to achieve the five bests – becoming your best self, and establishing the best team, best partnership, best value for investors and best citizenship. Meanwhile, you'll lead a values-based organization that reaps the benefits of solid relationships with its employees, customers, suppliers, investors and the communities where it does business. getAbstract recommends Kraemer's insights to leaders, CEOs, small-business owners, and anyone seeking self-improvement.

Dorothy Gale, the heroine of The Wizard of Oz, had one goal: Get back to Kansas. But first, she had to embark on a journey of personal discovery. Little did she know that – with every step – she wore the answer to her dilemma on her own two feet. As Partners In Leadership consultants Roger Connors and Tom Smith explain, first Dorothy had to discover the secrets of personal accountability. Then she could click those magic ruby slippers. In the sequel to their bestseller, The Oz Principle, Connors and Smith walk you through four steps to taking responsibility for your life and accomplishing your goals. getAbstract recommends their advice to anyone seeking a personal or professional Yellow Brick Road.
