The diverse, eclectic architectural style and history of the borough of Manhattan is celebrated in this survey designed with an Art Deco style. Featuring Beaux Arts pencil drawings of 30 of the city’s landmark buildings, this collection offers a unique perspective of the historic architecture that is rarely perceived through color photographs or even standing in front of the actual structures themselves. The accompanying commentary provides the locations, significant features, and historical context for the important landmarks, and the drawings can be colored if desired.

From Chapter #1 Apathy: A Natural, Human Instinct I had just finished my introductions in front of more than 70 top executives of an international organization when I made a shocking and somewhat risky statement. I told them that all the organizational problems they had identified on their introductory worksheets were merely symptoms of the same universal problem ― apathy. The individual annual incomes of this group ranged from $250,000 to $500,000, and I had just told them they were apathetic! At least that is what they heard. I quickly asked them to withhold their judgment for a moment, and give me a chance to explain before collectively deciding that a high-priced development expert had just insulted them. As a hush fell over the room, I began to verbally review the general list of people problems that they had provided for me prior to the meeting: - indecisiveness - lack of drive - lack of creativity - lack of focus - stagnation - burnout - imbalance - the list went on and on. This was their list, not mine! I paused for a second and just looked at them. Then I asked each executive to write down the following developmental definition for apathy: A natural, human instinct, common to us all, that consistently encourages us to seek a comfort zone in which nothing ever changes. Pens began to move across legal pads. After a few moments, I asked the group this question, "How many of you know someone in your current organization who is impeded by this description of apathy?" The entire group raised their hands in unison. Then I asked the hard question, "How many of you have, at some point, suffered from this same description?" You could hear a pin drop. Finally, one person started laughing and courageously raised her hand. Her actions stimulated other colleagues to raise their hands, and the entire room broke into laughter of genuine confession. Facing the Facts The word apathy is an unfriendly and threatening word to most people, and that is probably the reason I never hear executives use the word to describe problems within their organizations. Instead, I hear the listing of symptoms, such as: - burnout - stagnation - indecision - lack of creativity - lack of motivation - lack of productivity - and so on. These symptoms may sound more professional, academic, clinical, or forgiving, but symptoms, if worked on exclusively, lead an organization on a wild goose chase, fixing symptoms but never solving real problems! Comfortable with the Truth Apathy is a very useful and effective word for me now after years of experience. In fact I have learned that until a person gains an awareness of how the forces of apathy work to impede effectiveness, behavioral change and improvement are out of the question. Awareness begins with an understanding of apathy as a natural, human instinct common to us all. Usually when someone is called apathetic, he or she is being accused of indifference. But the working definition I am using for apathy has little to do with indifference. It has everything to do with describing the relationship between the basic motivation of security and the natural, human instinct described as apathy. Take a close look at my working definition of apathy: A natural, human instinct, common to us all, that consistently encourages us to seek a comfort zone in which nothing ever changes. Now, ask yourself this question, "What is one of humankind's basic, motivational drives?" According to Maslow's famous book, A Theory of Human Motivation, most all human behavior can be traced back to the basic motivation of self-preservation and security. Some may be motivated by higher-level needs, but as soon as their security is threatened, they quickly revert to self-preservation. This process of seeking security and building unproductive comfort zones, if left unchecked, leads to behaviors that are usually described as the causes of people problems and ineffectiveness. In order to demonstrate how the forces of apathy as a natural, human instinct act as the root cause of most individual and organizational dysfunction, I have included the following real case studies, which are typical examples out of hundreds. (Names have been changed and do not relate to the actual client case.) John, a Senior VP John is a senior vice president in a large international company. He is 52 years old and has been with the same company for over 27 years. In talking with John, I asked him this question, "John, do your employees have any consistent criticism of you or your leadership?" He quickly replied, "Indecision." I asked if he believed those critiques to be accurate. He said, "I don't think so because with the company in transition now, I have to make sure my decisions are right. It's better not to make a decision at all than to make the wrong one. After all, I'll be retiring in the next few years anyway." I interviewed several of John's employees, and what I heard most often was this: "John is a good man, but he keeps us waiting forever for an answer to our basic requests. His indecision is causing severe delays in production." The forces of apathy are the cause of John's problems. Indecision is the symptom. John has constructed a comfort zone for himself to avoid the fear of making a bad decision and risking his security. As a result, his unconscious goal is never to make a mistake. John's comfort zone is a place in which nothing can ever change and mistakes can never happen. John's leadership behavior is unproductive but comfortable.

Achievement is simply the result of doing the "right things" consistently over a sustained period of time. Doing the "right things" is a direct result of your personal choice. Your future is built on the choices you make, day by day, moment by moment. It is a natural, human tendency to disregard the importance of your everyday choices. I think we minimize the importance of our choices because the consequences of those choices are delayed. We do not experience immediate results from most of our choices. If we did, we certainly would be more selective with our choices! Instead, we are free to make a bad or ineffective choice and feel no immediate impact, leaving us with the impression that no harm has been done. We have all watched superstar athletes at the heights of their careers, on top of the world, suddenly make a very bad choice that later brings down everything they have worked for. We ask, "Why did they do that?" The answer is simple: They thought they could get away with it. All of us would make better decisions if there were immediate consequences to our choices. For example, if you immediately gained 50 pounds every time you ate a single bowl of ice cream, you would never eat another bowl of ice cream again. What’s more, ice cream companies would be out of business by tomorrow morning! But that is not the way it works. Here is the reality: You eat a bowl of ice cream and nothing happens immediately. Ice cream taste good, so you decide to eat two bowls tomorrow, three the next day, and so on. Six months later you step onto the scales and find that you have gained 50 pounds. Your response is, "Why have I gained 50 pounds? I’m shocked!" The 50 pounds came from your daily choices about ice cream. The consequences of bad choices accumulated gradually without your noticing it. You can, of course, choose to stop eating ice cream daily, and in six months, lose the extra 50 pounds. This is an exaggerated example of how choice is directly related to long-term results, and you should never be shocked with your results because you are in complete control. You are not a victim. The quality of your life is all about your choices. Every day you make thousands of choices. You enjoy the freedom to choose your thoughts, perspectives, actions, and associations. However, each choice you make in life has a consequence. So, by filling your days with effective choices, you build a future of beneficial consequences. What that means is this: The quality of your choices will determine the quality of your life. The Achievement System The foundation of any system of achievement is learning to make effective, daily choices. Surprisingly, this is a unique ability. We do not naturally possess the capacity of making consistent, effective choices! Why? Before we answer that question, it is necessary to understand what effective choice is. Effective choice is defined as those choices that directly relate to your immediate goals. For instance, if we continue with the ice cream example previously used, the choice of eating too much ice cream simply because it tastes good is an instinctive, ineffective choice if health and weight control is your goal. However, the choice of limiting the excessive intake of calories from ice cream is an effective choice directly related to the goal of maximizing your health. Therefore, effective choices are goal-directed choices, not instinctive choices. Now, back to the question first posed: Why do we NOT naturally possess the capacity to make consistent effective choices related to our achievement? The answer is both simple and complex. Your natural, human instincts have one goal for you: your safety. Your instincts really do not care about your goals, only about your safety and comfort. When you manage your daily activities from your natural, human instincts, your response will always be in favor of keeping you where you are. It’s natural to stay right where you are. Your brain interprets sameness or status-quo as security. In short: your instincts are fighting against your achievement because achievement always involves change and growth, both of which are contrary to sameness. This means that you are undermining your own success and achievement ... naturally! To achieve, you must first learn to intentionally manage your process of making effective choices, and that process must be systematic rather than instinctive. This works because ... A systems approach to achievement bypasses your natural instincts. Read that a few times to let the words digest. I have worked with clients who have spent their entire lives managing achievement instinctively with sporadic results. On the other hand, I have watched overwhelming results from leaders who manage by a proven system of achievement. The ultimate purpose of this book is to help you understand and implement a proven system of achievement. That system begins with learning to make effective choices now, and every day. Effective choices lead to effective actions, which in turn lead to beneficial results. If you understand this system, you can learn how to achieve! Results can be directly traced back to a point of origin: your choices! Choice builds the foundation of your future achievement. Your first step toward achievement is learning to make effective choices on a consistent, daily basis. If there is such a thing as a secret to achievement, a significant part of that secret is ... being aware of the power of your choices and learning to choose effectively!
