One Man's Lasting Legacy.......2002-07-19
I cried the day Tom Landry died, and again the day after his death when I read articles and listened to television stories about the life and times of Tom Landry. This simple, little book brought back many of those same emotions. This book is not one author's lofty opinions about a man. It is a collection of quotes, stories, and vignettes from scores of people from all walks of life who are united in their deep love and respect for a man among men, a man of unquestioned character and integrity.
You do not have to be a Dallas Cowboys fan, nor know a thing about Tom Landry, nor do you need to collect quotes to enjoy and be motivated by this book. If you are inspired by reading true accounts of moral, spiritual, and successful leaders, then this book will exceed all your expectations, too.

You are better off SKIPPING Bayless.......2000-10-16
Most of Bayless' key sources in this book are disgruntled Landry haters. Bayless became friends with Paul Hackett and didn't like the way Hackett was treated by the Cowboys. Never mind that Hackett couldn't adjust his offensive thinking for quarterbacks without strong intelligence (like Danny White) and who has proven that he is nothing but a run-of-the-mill college coach. Ironically, many of those so-called haters were present at Landry's funeral earlier this year and I began to wonder whether they really said what Bayless quoted them as saying.
Perhaps there are things in this book that are relevent to any Cowboys discussion, but the timing of the book was odd. It was written in 1989, the low point of the franchise. Had it been written in, say, 1980 (after many of the events portrayed here), Bayless might have some credibility. In fact, he has none.

I Remember Tom Landry
Denne H. Freeman , and Jaime Aron Manufacturer: Sports Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 1582614598 |
Book Description
I Remember Tom Landry is a tribute to the man who, for 29 seasons, was the Dallas Cowboys. From 1960 through 1988, Landry was the only coach the Cowboys franchise had ever known. He finished with 13 division titles, five trips to the Super Bowl, and a legacy that will endure beyond his death. Former Cowboy stars such as Bob Lilly, Don Meredith, Tony Dorsett, Drew Pearson, Lee Roy Jordan, Randy White, and more than a hundred others all remember their favorite Tom Landry stories in a book that every football fan will want to read. Quarterback great Roger Staubach contributes the foreword. From players and coaches to media and fans, I Remember Tom Landry is a complete work of remembrances from the people who knew this Cowboy icon.Customer Reviews:

How to Delegate (Essential Managers Series)
Robert Heller Manufacturer: DK ADULT ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0789428903 |
Amazon.com
Often, the hardest part of managing isn't being in charge of everything, but knowing what you can farm out to others, and how to do it (especially when the buck nonetheless stops with you). This zingy little 72-page guide simplifies the often slippery process of "letting go," and shows you not only how to delegate effectively--for example, deciding on which tasks you can pass around and which ones you should keep, planning a delegation structure, choosing the right person for the right job, and briefing delegates effectively--but also how to monitor progress (by minimizing risk, providing support, maintaining boundaries, and giving feedback), and improve both your own and your delegates' skills by appointing "deputies" of various areas. On every jazzily designed page, boxed tips, lists of dos and don'ts, handy checklists, mini case studies, and easy-to-follow flow charts demystify the delegation process--from inception to activation to maintenance. Granted, if you're looking for very specific or in-depth guidance, you might find this book too cursory and general in its approach. But, if you're looking for a thumbnail guide to the basics, it'll do just fine.It's worth mentioning that the book is part of the "Essential Managers" series by reference publisher Dorling-Kindersley--a series comprising 20 itty-bitty books on business and career topics that range from communication, leadership, and decision-making to the management of time, budgets, change, meetings, people, projects, and teams. Combining the talent of the "For Dummies" book series for breaking down a lot of information into bite-sized bits and sidebars with Dorling-Kindersley's signature design style of crisp, classy graphics on a gleaming white backdrop, the books don't represent the cutting edge of business thinking or reflect necessarily any unique individual perspective. Instead, it's as if someone had collated the best general thinking on these 20 topics, and rolled them out into 72 brightly designed and easy-to-read pages--studded along the way with boxed tips, color shots of a multiracial cast of "coworkers" animatedly hashing through the workplace issues of the day, and, on the last few pages of each volume, a self-test of one's skills in the topic at hand. Again, they're not for anyone who's looking for more in-depth or focused help on any of the covered subjects, but they're perfect as a quick general-interest reference; and, let's face it, they're so damn cute, and look so smart in a neat little stack or row, that probably you'll want to buy a whole bunch to give as gifts to your entire staff or department. --Timothy Murphy

Reminders and wholesome advice.......2001-07-21
How to delegate is a must to have on your shelf when you must confront serious basic problems focusing your direct reports on the work at hand. Though I would not use the actual delegation form suggested in this book, the concept has proved useful over and over again.
Like all of the Essential Manager books, Dorling Kindersley provides a wonderful, simple user interface, with great formating and lots of charts, diagrams, suggested forms, etc. I advise you to get it, read it, and keep it where you can see it when you start to pull your hair out.
