From the Publisher
Businesses are already feeling the effects of employee changes in the workplace. Losyk, in
Managing a Changing Workforce, gives you a detailed plan of action to deal with the workforce of the future. He shows how the changes in worker loyalty and commitment of today's workforce are profoundly affecting the quality of service in every type of organization, from large corporations to small businesses.
Managing a Changing Workforce takes a candid look at the underlying dynamics of today's and tomorrow's workforce. It puts a microscope to which factors are influencing the workforce and why businesses must take them into account today. This book shows how to effectively manage and motivate Generation X'ers who will be the workforce of tomorrow. Managing is only one of two books available that addresses the issue of the next generation of workers and their different values. It examines Generation X'ers' core beliefs and how these beliefs impact the work ethic.
Managing a Changing Workforce focuses on what businesses must do to give outstanding service in order to keep customers in the future. It spotlights better ways to assess, recruit, hire, train, and manage employees; create service standards, and implement feedback and reward systems that really work. Most importantly, it shows how to motivate this mass of diverse workers into producing for organizations of all types.
Managing a Changing Workforce shows how businesses can succeed as they meet the forces of the next century.
Managing a Changing Workforce is written in a clear, easy to read style. It is filled with techniques that are easy to implement, along with creative ideas, how-to's, checklists, and chapter tips to provide the reader with a plan of action.

Dynamics of Extended Celestial Bodies And Rings (Lecture Notes in Physics)
ASIN: 3540282084 |
Book Description
This book is intended as an introduction to the field of planetary systems at the postgraduate level. It consists of four extensive lectures on Hamiltonian dynamics, celestial mechanics, the structure of extrasolar planetary systems and the formation of planets. As such, this volume is particularly suitable for those who need to understand the substantial connections between these different topics.
Book Description
Latent variables, variables that cannot be observed directly, have numerous applications, particularly in psychometrics and sociology, and this new edition provides a comprehensive and unified treatment. Extensively revised and including much recent work, the book develops a framework for handling latent variables with standard statistical methods. It includes an introductory chapter, followed by a careful development of the General Linear Latent Variable Model (GLLVM). A large class of latent variable models turns out to be special cases of GLLVM, and the book devotes a number of chapters to specific models. The treatment aims to be mathematically complete and emphasizes questions of precision and goodness of fit. The book features numerous examples and concludes with a critique of some of the popular and widely used linear models.
Book Description
This book introduces multiple-latent variable models by utilizing path diagrams to explain the underlying relationships in the models. This approach helps less mathematically inclined students grasp the underlying relationships between path analysis, factor analysis, and structural equation modeling more easily. A few sections of the book make use of elementary matrix algebra. An appendix on the topic is provided for those who need a review. The author maintains an informal style so as to increase the book's accessibility. Notes at the end of each chapter provide some of the more technical details. The book is not tied to a particular computer program, but special attention is paid to LISREL, EQS, AMOS, and Mx.
New in the fourth edition of Latent Variable Models:
*
a data CD that features the correlation and covariance matrices used in the exercises;
*
new sections on missing data, non-normality, mediation, factorial invariance, and automating the construction of path diagrams; and
*
reorganization of chapters 3-7 to enhance the flow of the book and its flexibility for teaching.
Intended for advanced students and researchers in the areas of social, educational, clinical, industrial, consumer, personality, and developmental psychology, sociology, political science, and marketing, some prior familiarity with correlation and regression is helpful.

Deep, lucid coverage of statistical methods.......1997-06-21
Most statistics books are written for math wizards
and can hardly be understood by others. This book
explains a number of statistical methods, such as
factor analysis, path analysis, and structural
equation models, and does so in ways that are
clear, easy to grasp, and with fuly-worked
examples. I learned more about statistics from
this one book than all the others I've read
combined.

One of the best books I've ever read.......2007-01-04
I've had these books for more then 20 years now - taking them with me through flood and fire. The first is SECOND 6 months of his tour while, "The only war we ever had: A company Commanders Journal" is the FIRST 6 months of his tour in Vietnam in 1968-1969.
M. Lee Lanning was the youngest person ever to lead an entire Company of 200 soldiers even though he was only a First Lieutenant, all at the age of 23.
I find these books truly fascinating - they show the horror, the boredom, the friendships made and the attempts at comedy used to stay sane during wartime. I never thought that a "War Memoir" would ever capture my attention, but this did it. Many (if not most) war books are written by the pencil pushers or REMF's and not someone who actually held a rifle and saw the enemy.
Each page is straight from the diary that his father gave him before he shipped out - then what follows is his memory of that day.
One of my favorite excerpts:
"Our move was delayed when one of the FNG's (F-ing New Guy), who had joined Bravo Co. at Crystal (their main base) a few days before, saw something in a clump of bamboo. Seconds later he approached me carrying a heavy, cone-shaped object that I immediately recognized as a 105mm artillery round. From it's shiny exterior, I deduced it was a "dud" from our fire before assaulting the bunkers.
The FNG, proud of his find, had no clue what he was cradling in his arms. As calmly as possible, I told the man to walk back into the jungle for at least 50 meters, gently place the object on the ground and return to my location. The tone of my voice, and the fact that all the others were scrambling for cover, definitely got the troop's attention.
Without a word, he followed my instructions. I braced for the expected explosion as he turned away and slowly walked towards the jungle..."
If you get this make sure you also get "Only War We Had: A Platoon Leader's Journal of Vietnam" that is the first of this series - it contains his journal entries from the first 6 months of his tour.
An Excellent Real World Vietnam Book.......2001-08-28
I missed the Vietnam War by a year or two. I served as an 11B from 72-78. I always wondered what it would have been like to have been there in a rifle company. Plenty of books about SF and LRRPs, but not very many written by a real platoon leader. I never had a tremensous desire to be an elite soldier in an elite unit (if I could have even made it). I only wanted to be a rifle squad leader. This book really made me feel what it would have been like. What I missed. It is a real world book. Not a battle every minute book filled with stories of great exploits. Just a real world grunt in Vietnam book. I recommend the companion book "The Only War We Had."

vietnam 1969-1970.......2000-12-09
this book is the best book ive ever read.This book started out in hawaii lee was a luitenant at the time but he wanted to upgrade his level in office so he was asked to become company commader his journey through the viet kong was very exiting it was full of action and outrage his tale was very inspireing he stood up for his men and became very popular as bravo company commander and became one of the best plotoon in vietnam his wife lived in sanfracico her name was linda when lee move out of the states his wife was pregnant with there girl rosallie.he was waiting to come home after 8 months in the war he was a month awayfrom coming home to the states when he got a rear job which he was waiting for and then took his long ride back home to sanfracisco.
The awesome sequal to THE ONLY WAR WE HAD.......1999-07-01
This book is the second in the set, the first being THE ONLY WAR WE HAD. This book, however, is different in that the author is no longer a naive Lieutenant being shipped off to Vietnam. This book begins with the same Lieutenant--now aged and matured--returning to Vietnam from leave in Hawaii. Like his first book, VIETNAM 1969-1970: A COMPANY COMMANDER'S JOURNAL is both detailed and exciting.

Platoon Leader: A Memoir of Command in Combat
ASIN: 0671704362 |
Book Description
In this vivid and intensely frank memoir, retired Marine Colonel Dick Camp recounts his daily experiences as "Lima-6" -- the commander of Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, 26th Marines -- from June 1967 through January 1968. As much as it is about the Vietnam War, Lima-6 is also a candid account of the camaraderie that a Marine infantry company forges in battle, and the compelling human drama of an infantry company at war as seen through the eyes of a lonely leader upon whom all others depend for guidance and strength.

SIMPLY AN OUTSTANDING TRUE STORY.......2002-09-17
A tremendous book recounting battles, fire-fights, ambushes, as well as the challenges of leading 18 and 19 year old marines in war time. Gives a good idea about the physical hardships and danger that our men encountered in Vietam. Capt. Camp also admits near the ending that he was "very, very, glad to get out of Vietnam." An honest insight !
Been There..........2000-08-31
Very even and factual account. I would encourage persons interested in USMC history to read this account of one man's perspective of events that occured in the second half of 1967, in I Corps. I have to tell you that I am slightly prejudiced: Captain Camp was my Company Commander in Viet Nam. He is the one against whom all others are judged. Skipper Camp is not only the finest Officer I encountered in the Marine Corps but, also, a real human being.

Get the real story from someone who was there & wanted to be.......2007-08-21
This book was great, no Rambo personalities just honest bravery and men doing what they felt was right for their country. I would highly recommend it as well as Victor Six, another story of a company commander and what it's like to lead men into war.
Comanche six gets a five!.......2002-10-09
I may be a little biased but this book is great! The reason I say this is because it is written by my father's company commander. It depicts a fairly realistic idea of what my father saw for the time he was under Estep's command, but Estep did leave out some things and elaborate on others. It is an interesting book to read and it is a part of my history.

Book Description
Vietnam has been called the "company commander's war" -- these were the young officers who ran the war on a day-to-day basis, making life and death decisions in the jungles, rice paddies, and villages. Estep quickly learned what it meant to be a leader of men: to comfort an 18-year-old who had killed for the first time; to give confidence to an intimidated platoon leader; to revitalize the morale of a "hard-luck" company; to gain the trust of his crusty first sergeant; and, most of all, to confront and conquer his own fears.
Company Commander Vietnam is an honest and compelling story, unexcelled in its ability to help a new generation understand the complexities and realities, and the painful paradox of the Vietnam War.

RTO; C 2/5 1ST AIR CAVALRY DIV. JUNE 67-JUNE68.......1998-08-24
This book brought back a flood of memories for me as I was one of the radio operators mentioned in the book. After learning that Capt. Estep had written a book about Vietnam I was anxious to read it to find out what happened to him after he was wounded and put on a medivac. It's great to know that he is well and has been able to write a book about the experiences that so many of us spent as grunt's in Vietnam. I have read several books about Vietnam but none so realistic as "Company Commander". This book is as near to a real life experience as you'll ever come.
A grunt's viewpoint of the reality of a line unit in Vietnam.......1998-03-17
Facinating!!!! I was honored to be the commander of Company C, 2nd of the 5th Cav about a year after COL Estep commanded it. I found the book by pure accident, and was drawn to it by the title because I too had been "Commanche Six." For those who did not serve in a line unit in RVN and would be curious to know the reality of it, this book is superb. COL Estep will not be remembered as a great writer, and I had the feeling this book was edited to appeal to young "war book" readers, but the experience is authentic. During the year's time between his command and mine, the 2/5 Cav had moved from the highlands to the Tay Ninh Province area. All the radio call signs remained the same, and much of the terminology. The only thing of significance that had changed was the name we called oursleves. I'd never heard the term "snuffy" until I read the book. We (including the officers) referred to ourselves as grunts. Avail yourself of the opportunity to read of authentic war experiences, as uncomfortable as they may be.
5th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, 1967-68........1997-08-12
This is a Vietnam War far from the demoralized army of
popular imagination.
Coordinated air assaults, aggressive patrolling and ambushing
and skilled defensive systems characterize this
other war of highly motivated and effective soldiers,
taking the war to the enemy and honorably upholding
the American military tradition in conditions as
rugged as any in our history
Estep, a four-tour mustang who retired as Colonel,
is a skilled memoirist who brings the reader into the
action and paints a vivid picture of the fighting-
and winning-American soldier in Vietnam.

Book Description
Lieutenant Michael Lee Lanning went to Vietnam as an eager young patriot who was confident of surviving the war. After six months in-country, he was promoted at age 23 to company commander, and his sense of duty began to shift from his nation to preserving the lives of the men in Bravo Company.
Lanning and his men faced an enemy who was patient, elusive, and firm in the belief that they could outlast the Americans. The young commander also confronted the prospect of sudden, violent death, bone-numbing weariness, and the stench of blood and decaying flesh. He would lose friends and would acquire a cynical contempt for all Vietnamese, both allies and enemies.
Vietnam, 1969-1970, like its predecessor, Lanning's The Only War We Had, is taken from the journals the author kept during his tour of duty. He writes, "I dusted off men with wounds that will disable them for the rest of their lives. I dusted off a dead man that was one of the best soldiers I ever have known. I am realizing the full burdens of being a company commander."
