I've not read it and will take a look. BTW I noticed that Jim Collins has a relatively new book entitled How The Mighty Fall. I'm curious if anyone has read it. (Sheila, have you?)

In this month’s edition alone are articles/contributions from Jim Rohn, Deepak Chopra, Brian Tracy, Dave Ramsey, Robert Kiyosaki, Mark Sanborn, Stedman Graham, Steven Covey, Jeffrey Gitomer, Harvey Mackay and Ken Blanchard. In addition, the magazine also has a section reviewing business and leadership books.

I am so glad to see your leadership version and will be adding some of these to my fall reading list. Another fun list to look at is the long list of books penned (or "ghost penned") by the so-called corporate gurus responsible for our current economic mess. Many of these golden parachuted execs. "words of wisdom" have, in hind sight, expose the short sighted leadership style or "greed is good" mantras that deeply damaged the long term viability of the corporations and the faith employees had in management.
