NEW BOOKS!

We are currently in production with this great new title:

Leaders and Mis-leaders by Andre Van Heerden.
The Art of Leading Like You Mean It
This book argues that the obsession with skills-training produces masses of people with technical ability, but very little by way of creativity and character. Skills are valuable only if you have the will to use them wisely and ethically, to lead like you mean it. Skills-training cannot produce leaders,
only on-going education can.
Andre has worked with leaders in almost every category of business, uses compelling examples from history and corporate life to demonstrate how leaders are only developed by education, the continual nurturing of the intellect and the will. Everyone has intellect and will, and therefore the potential to lead, and using those faculties properly is leading like you mean it. But without on-going education, they are either corrupted or fade. Due for release late 2010
