After collaborating on several well-regarded leadership books, James M. Kouzes (chairman of the Tom Peters Group/Learning Systems) and Barry Z. Posner (dean of the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University) created The Leadership Challenge Planner to help managers, team leaders, and even community volunteers adopt their primary principles. "Every new project you take on is an opportunity for greatness--for attaining a personal best that defines your own standard of excellence," they write in its introduction. "Your next major project is your chance not only to create extraordinary results for your organization but also to develop your leadership capabilities." To that end, they've designed the book to be used with a specific project; readers are guided through various stages, from assessing the project's "requirements and challenges" through planning to "lead others to successfully complete" it. The authors concentrate on the five key leadership practices they identified in their bestselling Leadership Challenge--"challenging the process," "inspiring a shared vision," "enabling others to act," "modeling the way," and "encouraging the heart"--and support them with extensive worksheets that help single out definitive objectives and the precise actions necessary to attain them. --Howard Rothman

Guidelines for the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership.......2001-12-25
"The Leadership Challenge Planner is a one-hop-at-a-time workbook for leaders. It's designed to help you reflect and act on your need (or organization's) for change...When we began our research, we decided to find out what practices characterize exemplary leaders: people who get extraordinary things done in organizations. Our research began with analyzing what behaviors people demonstrated when they were leading a project that they considered a 'personal best': one that set an individual standard of excellence for them. We collected thousands of stories of leaders performing at their peak, and we looked at what actions seemed to be consistent in all the stories. Several years-and several thousand quantitative and qualitative analyses-later, we found that five practices define exemplary leadership: 1.Challenging the process 2.Inspiring a shared vision 3.Enabling others to act 4.Modeling the way 5.Encouraging the heart...The purpose of this planner is to assist people, managers and nonmanagers alike, in furthering their ability to lead others and get extraordinary things done...We hope that his planner convinces you that leadership is everyone's business...By accepting the challenge to lead, you come to realize that the only limits are those you place on yourself" (from the Introduction).
In this context, throughout the five chapters (3 through 7), James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner list and explain guidelines for these five practices.
1. Guidelines for Challenging the Process- Try these strategies to change, grow, innovate, and improve: *treat every job as an adventure *send people shopping for ideas *put 'idea gathering' on your own agenda *go out and find something that needs fixing *take a class; learn a new skill *experiment, experiment, experiment *make it safe for others to experiment *work with ideas that may sound strange initially *debrief every failure as well as every success *model risk taking.
2. Guidelines for Inspiring a Shared Vision- Try hese strategies to envision an uplifting future and enlist others in the vision: *determine what you want *act on your intuition *test your assumptions *become a futurist *develop your interpersonal competence *breathe life into your vision *speak positively *speak from the heart *make the intangible tangible *listen, listen, listen.
3. Guidelines for Enabling Others to Act- Try these strategies to build trust and strengthen others: *always say we *increase interactions *focus on gains, not losses *from planning and problem-solving partnership *go first *enlarge people's sphere of influence *make sure delegated tasks are relevant *make connections *make heroes of other people *educate, educate, educate.
4. Guidelines for Modeling the Way- Try these strategies to set the example and achieve small wins: *open a dialoque about personal and shared values *audit your actions *be dramatic *tell stories about teacheble moments *take personal interest in everything *make a plan *create a model *break it up, and break it down *ask for volunteers *sell the benefits, benefits, benefits.
5. Guidelines for Encouraging the Heart- Try these strategies to recognize individual contributions and celebrate team accomplishments: *seek out people who are doing things right *personalize and publicize each recognition *link the recognition to a clear set of standards *celebrate individual recognition in a group *be creative about rewards and recognition *give recognition and rewards *tell the story of someone who exemplifies the standards you set *design the reward-and-recognition system participatively *provide feedback en route *schedule celebrations *be a cheer leader, in your own preferred way *stay in love with what you do *have fun, laugh, enjoy.
Highly recommended.

Book Description
It's a fact of DNA: If you can trace your roots back to Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, India, Latin America, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, the South Pacific, or any group of Native Americans, your genes react similarly to genes in the darkest skin. And chances are, you may have received confusing advice -- or no advice at all -- about how to care for your skin. Although nearly half the population of the United States shares the hallmarks of skin of color, many dermatologists and beauty consultants routinely prescribe remedies created for Caucasian skin without understanding how sensitive and easily damaged skin of color is. It's no wonder, then, that many women and men of color continually battle skin problems, and it takes a terrible toll on their self-esteem.
Finally, Beautiful Skin of Color unlocks the particular secrets of your skin and provides the answers you've been searching for. Dr. Fran Cook-Bolden and Dr. Jeanine Downie, internationally recognized dermatologists and women of color, and Barbara Nevins Taylor, an award-winning reporter on skin and hair issues, offer clear, specific advice to help you achieve and maintain a healthy, gorgeous complexion.
In a quick-reference, A-to-Z format, using examples drawn from personal and professional experience, Dr. Cook-Bolden and Dr. Downie explain why problems occur, and then prescribe reliable remedies and groundbreaking new procedures specifically created for skin of color.
Throughout this comprehensive guide, the doctors show you how to work with your skin and hair -- and your dermatologist -- to create your own unique skin-management program. A long-overdue and much-needed resource, Beautiful Skin of Color is certain to help you look and feel your best.

Total garbage. Doesn't tell you anything you can't find on the net. Don't even waste your money.
Beautiful Skin Color.......2007-01-17
I enjoy reading books to help improve my skills as an up and coming makeup artist. This book came highly recommended at a recent event and I had the opportunity to meet the author. Great book for those interested in improving their daily regimen of cleaning their skin and covering skin flaws.
Excellent Reference For Ethnic Skin.......2006-03-16
This is an excellent resource for learning about skin of color. It provides detailed information for almost any skin condition i.e. causes of skin disorders, remedies, length of expected results, product names for over-the-counter and prescription medicine, average cost of cosmetic procedures and side effects. As an African-American, I was amazed to learn facts about the specifics of my skin, like, laser skin resurfacing treatment is not recommended for keloid-proned skin and microdermabrasion is a gentler and safer treatment because layers of the skin are not rubbed off and no anesthetic is needed. Because the skin is gently "blasted" with particles during microdermabrasion, it can help fade dark marks with the use of hydroquinone products because this agent can seep deeper into the skin after dead skin has been removed. Included in this book is basic information that we all should know, especially about drinking plenty of water to hydrate the skin and using a humidifier to add moisture to the air. However, after reading this book, I was better informed about various skin conditions and how to treat my skin. The book contains information regarding acne, dry skin, botox, chemical peels, wrinkle fillers, cysts, dark circles, facial hair, sun protection (which is highly suggested throughout the book), stretch marks, hair loss, moles, laser treatments and tons of other skin conditions. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone searching for facts regarding delicate skin of color.
Skin Deep.......2004-10-09
BEAUTIFUL SKIN OF COLOR is a very informative, well written book, essentially geared toward individuals with darker hued complexions, ranging from olive to very dark skin. Written in clear understandable language, this book is crammed with obviously well researched information, targeting a wide range of skin and hair related issues such as acne, eczema, hair loss, facial hairs, and vitiligo.
The book gives the warning signs of the different skin problems, the authors' theoretical reasoning behind the problem, and gives detailed descriptions of various traditional home and over the counter remedies. It also describes aggressive medical interventions available, as warranted by the severity of the problem.
BEAUTIFUL SKIN OF COLOR is a comprehensive guide to daily skin care, which pretty much explores every conceivable product, procedure and new technology available in the dermatological industry for beautifying skin of color.
It is the perfect resource for everyone concerned with having healthy, beautiful looking skin and is a perfect addition to any reader's library.

Customer Reviews:
Lovely thing this Eschaton!.......2007-09-28
I enjoyed the Eschaton thing. Sentences like "I am not your god," followed by behaviour that indicates that it might very well be for all practical purposes - is just hilarious.
And there is plenty of good Space Opera in this book.
That said I were a bit bored from time to time, I am afraid to say. Therefore it can't be more than 3 stars.
-Simon
It stinks.......2007-09-27
I got through about a third of this book before I just gave up and took it back to the library. Dull, dull, dull!!!!!
Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-03
A close to omniscient AI oversees a large sector of space, to prevent any causality or other events it sees as technology violations.
A group of strange aliens travel around, looking for information and fun, to them. If this is found, they basically give the population replicators to do with as they will.
In a repressive, militaristic society on a planet with an almost Victorian feel this will cause a lot of grief, as their grip on control slips.
As a response, they decide to see if they can sneakily blow some things up and get around the Eschaton's control.
In the middle of this are an interplanetary Inspector (read secret agent), and a hapless engineer she recruits.
Highly entertaining, overall.
Lemonade for the Brain. Tart!.......2007-08-05
Ok, so reading this is a little like going to an MIT rave where everyone is wearing mirrored clothing and chanting various laws of physics to the tune of "I don't feel like dancing", or maybe "Tainted Love". It's very, very weird, fast-paced, and a lot of fun. The characters are nicely drawn, even if it takes forever into the book to really get to know them; everything moves so quickly! The ideology is a little thick at times, although his wonderful writing makes it all very palatable - it can be sort of like one of those old "Carry On..." movies dosed with some cheesy old communist propaganda and a big helping of nanotechnology. There's a great sense of the ridiculous, though, which keeps it from getting heavy - it's a wicked funny book, as well as wicked smart.
Um, what's it about? That would be telling... no, seriously, it's sort of an essay on information distribution and the impact it has on human society disguised as a love/spy story taking place inside a lopsided war based on the inability of a dictatorial & controlling socialist regime to adjust to a sudden influx of technology on a colony world. And it all takes place way way in the future with a big helping of quantum physics and nanotech and space travel, while sometimes referencing the many-angled ones from Lovecraftian horror fame... It's good, ok? I loved it. But I can really, really see why some people would have a hard time with it. It's very....densely packed, at times. It can be a little exhausting after a bit... like a hyperactive super-genius toddler.
Grinding.......2007-07-16
Charles Stross is not a bad author, as such. He is, however, one of the most overrated authors on two continents. The critical community went bananas over his first novel, Singularity Sky - apparently without any consideration of its stylistic merits (there aren't many, by the way). The novel begins with a fascinating premise, but quickly degenerates into an elaborate grandstand upon which the author can pontificate about politics and philosophy. Now, I have no particular aversion to liberal science-fiction writing (indeed, it seems the standard in the medium), but rather than justify his political assertions, Stross begins with the smug assumption that his views are correct. Alright, very well, but I'd like to see him defend himself intelligently rather than endlessly point his fingers at the political right. In addition, the novel is so enamored with its own subtlety that it never makes clear exactly what it is supporting. There are several abstruse references to famous political doctrines, but out of context, they mean nothing to the reader. Descriptions of technology have the same problem: as a regular reader of the genre, I'm used to having to decipher technological terminology, but the scientific exposition in Singularity Sky rolls along ad infinitum with all the clarity of a spinning kaleidoscope. Surely the author knows that his readers haven't the faintest idea what he's talking about; why, then, is it necessary to bombard them with all this extraneous technobabble about light cones? I congratulate Mr. Stross for developing such an intricate technological scene for his future society, but a single paragraph in layman's terms would suffice. Really. But let's speak of the writing: Stross's prose is generally taut, and he inserts vivid glimmers of detail in order to help the setting coalesce in the reader's mind. Aside from those positives, the prose is drab and stultifying; the density of information and the blandness of its conveyance make finishing a single paragraph analogous to slogging uphill through deep mud. This morass is blessedly (if intermittently) relieved by bouts of witty humor - but even that is so dry that it's difficult to determine when Stross is joking. Therein lies the ultimate problem with the entire novel: the author is so anxious to appear literate and artsy that he writes with a dull ambiguity, like the shy kid who's afraid to raise his voice from the back of the choir and so whispers his way through entire stanzas. Singularity Sky is obviously supposed to have some sort of sweeping theme, some Important Didactic Message...but Stross never quite gets the point across. He also repeats himself unnecessarily, which fails to help: repetition of something that didn't make sense in the first place merely makes the reader feel like a patronized idiot. Stross's characters, well, are characters. Sort of. They're actually well-drawn, but the tedious quality of the writing prevents the reader from developing any interest in them. There's more information than there is emotion. Again, Stross does employ small details to his advantage (he includes offhand comments about the characters' preferences and pet peeves, which lends them depth and humanity), but the protagonists would be more interesting if the large details of personality were colored in first. Many secondary players are featured erratically and serve only as convenient straw men for the ongoing one-sided political debate. On the bright side, the extraterrestrials are entertainingly surreal, equal parts macabre and Seussian. Worldbuilding may be limited and uninteresting, but the eye-popping, quasi-alien mutants briefly shock the reader out of his stupor (come on, who doesn't love sadistic mimes wielding lethal pies?). Nevertheless, the sheer, unabashed weirdness of the aliens contrasts rather awkwardly with the serious tone of the majority of the novel. Make no mistake: I like the sheer, unabashed weirdness and wish Stross had kept it at the expense of the arid political wrangling. The two are simply mutually exclusive, although their incongruous juxtaposition is occasionally amusing. Eventually (by which I mean, after six chapters), the mixed-up plot becomes so interminable, so self-indulgent, that the reader awaits its end with groaning eagerness. Oh, wait - the ending is bad, too. There is no climax, merely a continuation of the uninspired, meandering plot stretched putty-like to unbearable lengths. Characters who went unfeatured for hundreds of pages are thrust into pivotal roles while reader struggles to remember who, exactly these people are. The epilogue and incoherent denouement putter out like a deflated balloon. And, at long, sweet last, your aching eyes can relax. On the whole, Charles Stross is a writer of fair but undistinguished technical ability and little talent. Unless you're willing to wait on him for weeks with no payoff, avoid Singularity Sky.
Product Description
An exclusive two-in-one novel from the Science Fiction Book Club, set in Charles Stross Eschaton Universe: Singularity Sky and Iron Sunrise. Singularity Sky: Spaceship engineer Martin Springfield and U.N. diplomat Rachel Mansour hail from an Earth that has gone through the Singularity, an accelerated technological and social evolution far beyond anything we can imagine. The Singularity was triggered by the Eschaton, a super-powerful being descended from humanity that can travel in time and that essentially rules the universe. Springfield and Mansour meet on the home world of the New Republic, a repressive, backwater society that has outlawed virtually all advanced technology other than that necessary for interstellar warfare. When one of the New Republic's colonial worlds is besieged by the Festival, an enigmatic alien intelligence, the Republic counterattacks, using time travel in an attempt to put its warships in position to catch the Festival by surprise. Springfield and Mansour, working for different masters, have both been assigned the task of either diffusing the crisis or sabotaging the New Republic's warfleet, no matter what the cost. Iron Sunrise: In the 24th century, a McWorld ("bland, comfortable, tolerant... boring") called New Moscow apparently has been destroyed by trade rival New Dresdenbut not before New Moscow launched its own Slower-Than-Light (STL) counterstrike: a massive ship accelerated to 80% the speed of light. The U.N., now central Earth government, knows New Dresden was set up. They need the STL's recall code, now known only to a handful of New Moscow's ambassadorsbut someone has been systematically assassinating them. U.N. special operative Rachel Mansour and her husband, engineer Martin Springfield, must protect the last living ambassador and find out who's really responsible for the whole mess.

Singularity Big Time.......2006-10-08
This is a double publication - SINGULARITY SKY & IRON SUNRISE. The pairing is not accidental - the stories could be considered Singularity Part I & II. The name, TIMELIKE DIPLOMACY, is a perfect description of the themes of both novels - namely the machinations of humanity when faster-than-light travel is developed (thus time travel) and the super-intelligent Eschaton (the name given to the Singularity) must battle those who would return to the past and take steps to prevent its emergence. (A conundrum though - if someone had returned to the past and prevented the emergence of the Singularity how could it be worried about someone going to the past to prevent the emergence.... someone could go crazy thinking of all the causal possibilities).
We are introduced to Martin and Rachel, espionage operatives working for different bosses (Martin for the Eschaton, Rachel for the U.N.) and follow their travails in preventing the destruction of a civilization for attempting to violate the laws of causality. In the second book (IRON SKY) we are introduced to the teenager, Wednesday / Victoria and the newspaper writer, Frank and their fast-paced struggles both to escape those who would do them harm and learn who their pursuers are. Of course all four characters come together in the midst of a frantic action and the story has a good ending. I eagerly await yet another sequeal.
Stross has opened to the reader the world on nanotechnology, smart matter, genetic modification beyond our wildest dream. Indeed, the everyday actions appear to us almost as magic, much as the technological wonders of our civilization would appear magical to someone from the early 20th century. Yielding to readers's pleas, Stross has penned ACCELERANDO, the story of the emergence of the Singularity in the near future. (It does not feature the same characters.)
Combined edition of _Singularity Sky_ and _Iron Sunrise_.......2004-11-09
According to a posting by Stross in the Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine forum, this is an combined edition of the two books mentioned in the subject line.
That said, both books are excellent. _singularity Sky_, in particular, is one of the better science fiction novels of the past few years, combining hard science, Vinge-style speculation, and a strong prose style.
