Raising The Bar On Managing An Organization's Talent.......2004-06-30

Having managed the MBA recruiting and development programs in dynamic, global business environments, I could have benefited greatly from the practical advice and guidelines offered in The Executive MBA- An Insiders Guide. This book provides a great overview of both the employee and employer perspectives and offers valuable guidelines for organizations' to address a myriad of important issues: From linking the graduate business education initiatives to the organizations mission, to selecting program participants, formulating appraisal and financial sponsorship arrangements, to addressing post program issues- the author addresses it all.
This book is a great resource for any organization seeking to develop and retain outstanding managers. Senior leadership can gain insight into setting up and managing EMBA programs and the talented professionals who are attracted to these programs. The author's logical, focused, and strategic approach to create a managed program that can maximize results by synergizing graduate education and organizational mission is clearly outlined.
Managing and retaining the most talented managers in a dynamic, global business environment is quite a challenge. Out of necessity, my approach was to recruit and develop smart, assertive and adaptable self starting MBA's who had a bias for action and could blend into diverse global business environments. In this mode, with senior leadership geographically spread throughout the world, I encouraged local management to autonomously direct talented MBA professionals as they moved through various divisions or companies: this approach can be effective if an upwardly mobile professional can self-navigate. While this approach can generate a natural setting for talent to flourish, it can also generate a chaotic state where talent can be underutilized or even suppressed. The perspectives and guidelines offered in this book can help an organization alleviate or avoid the downside risks and related failures in human resources development that can occur in dynamic, global organizations. Small, emerging firms that are nimble should also consider adopting the sponsorship ideas offered by this book...
My experience in managing and observing numerous approaches to managing graduate education programs has convinced me that most programs are " home grown" and could improve their effectiveness as measured by employee satisfaction and organizational achievement. Senior executive and human resources leadership could benefit greatly from the perspectives offered by this book. As the US economy continues to compete on a global basis for management talent, I believe the competition will stiffen and the bar will be raised thus requiring winning organizations to create thoughtful and globally integrated approaches to developing and retaining their future leadership; and this future leadership can effectively be developed from within the ranks of the talented and aspiring cadre of MBA credentialed professionals.

This book opened a world of options.......2004-06-09

I am an IT manager currently employed but seeking career alternatives, because growth opportunities are limited with my background. My position is considered middle managment, yet I can't leave my job to expand my horizons. I had no idea EMBA programs even existed. This book gave me a whole new perspective on working and learning. It opened a door to a potential future with a plethora of helpful and practical ideas, including funding, an important concern. In addition, I see EMBA programs can be highly flexible, yet challenging and versatile, with an abundance of opportunities that fit my interests. I loved the comments from those who went through EMBA programs, and really appreciated the wide range of people who attend these programs. The book is clear, concise, well written and reflects an enormous amount of research.

Recommended for Anyone Considering an MBA, Especially Women!.......2004-06-09

I work for an inner-city bank and as a working mother my options in getting ahead are limited in my company. Certainly an MBA can help and the executive MBA route seems viable. I don't see myself CEO of the bank, I am not that type, but the delivery of the education and types of projects plus accommodating work and family seems appealing. After reading this book, "executive" is just the name of the style of the delivery of the education and most who attend the EMBA are simply aspiring professionals looking to get ahead like me with around 10 years or more work experience. The section for working mothers was excellent and the sample schedule and testimony from actual women was great. I strongly recommend this book for anyone interested in getting an MBA. Helpful and practical advice.

A Great Gift for my Stupid Boss.......2004-06-09

Great tips on getting financing and negotiating with my employer. Now if I can only get it through my boss's head how important it is to continue with professional education and get the company to back me up. THis book is an unbaised look at this very interesting form of business school education. Well worth the investment. I think I'll leave it on his desk.

Informative and helpful information about the Executive MBA.......2004-06-09

The book illustrates important issues about working full time and getting an MBA. I am not in a position to drop out of the workforce to go back to school full time. I would prefer to continue working, besides, I am also a single parent. The executive MBA may serve my purposes and the book provides valuable and practical issues to consider.

Book Description

Using period diaries and other sources, Frontier Cavalryman recreates the Army life of African American "buffalo soldiers" and their white commanding officers on the Texas frontier during the late nineteenth century. It shows how attitudes toward blacks changed as black and white soldiers fought together against common enemies.

Book Description

As a physician practicing in the rural South in the years leading up to and through the Civil War, Charles Arnould Hentz (1827-1894) lived in the midst of enormous changes in southern society and medicine.

A Southern Practice includes the diary that Hentz kept for more than twenty years, beginning with the river journey his family took from Ohio to Alabama when Charles was eighteen. This vividly depicted trip--people, places, and sensory details--sets the stage for Hentz's record of his life through middle age: his apprenticeship and decision to pursue a medical career while a youth in Alabama; maturing as both a man and a doctor while at school in Kentucky; and establishing a general practice--and a large family--in the rough society of the Florida Panhandle. This edition also includes Hentz's autobiography, written at the end of his life, in which he reviews his past as doctor, southerner, and family man.

Taken together, Hentz's diary and autobiography dramatize with unusual clarity and realism the demanding work of a physician in an age before medicine could reliably cure patients. The rural doctor's work plunged him into the center of his community's life. He attended patients enslaved and free; worked one day with the challenges of childbirth, another with desperately sick children; treated the victims of stabbings and shootings; and faced the looming threat of epidemic fever.

By telling what he liked to call his "professional stories," Hentz also gives a relatively rare picture of the feelings and experiences of a middle-class southern white man. His work, religious faith, and social relations with neighbors, slaves, and strangers are described. In their frankness, sharp observation, and good humor, Hentz's writings illuminate nineteenth-century medicine in its full social setting, thus revealing a fresh portrait of the Old South.
