<p>This is the remarkable story of how the intersection of 4th &amp; Boston in Tulsa, Oklahoma became the heart of the "Magic Empire," an early euphemism for the Oklahoma oil fields that created fabulous fortunes seemingly overnight in the early 20th Century. Behind the unique collection of buildings that populate its four corners are stories of boom and bust, risk and loss, and courage and love. Like the city that surrounds it, 4th &amp; Boston is a place where golden opportunity led towering egos to build wealth and power on foundations of ingenuity, sacrifice, and faith. This one intersection encapsulates the ongoing drama that always has and always will be embodied in the name "Tulsa."</p>

History

Mullerhaus Legacy

<p>At 100 years of age, Tulsa's Old City Hall Building remains as steeped in drama and irony as the Magic City she was built to represent. In the same way that responsible governance was late in coming to Tulsa, Tulsa's City Hall was also late in coming. Overlooked in the mad dash for oil boom riches then delayed by crime, corruption, and "the greatest legal battle ever staged in Oklahoma," the grand Neoclassical lady was raised, celebrated, then immediately outmoded by the very progress that built it. Although rescued by an economic collapse that brought the rest of Tulsa to its knees, she was ultimately abandoned and left for dead after fifty years of government service. Barely escaping demolition, she spent her second fifty years in the private sector in a way that still serves the community she was built to represent. The Old City Hall Building is more than just another repurposed office building. It is, in fact, the repurposed office building that stood as the first bulwark against the wrecking ball of Urban Renewal becoming the birthplace of the preservation movement behind Tulsa's now-celebrated oil boom-era architecture.</p>

'The only restriction on personal fulfilment is a self-imposed limiting mentality that denies opportunity or doesn't seek to stretch itself and reach its potential.' Trainer, writer and resource developer Douglas Miller specialises in positive mental attitude. In this pocketbook he sets out 31 techniques (one for each day of the month) to help develop a more positive mindset. 'We often see our capabilities only in terms of the things we have done rather than in terms of the things we could do', he states. For each of the techniques there is a summary of the key learning points, an explanation of the psychology behind the technique, an exercise/activity to reinforce the learning and, in the author's words, 'some great visuals'.

Positive Mental Attitude

Management Pocketbooks

Innovation is the life-blood of all enterprises, public and private. Their competitiveness depends upon it. Those that succeed recognise that all of their people are inherently creative and, by proper management, can both release and manage that creativity for the ultimate benefit of all stakeholders. The Nurturing Innovation Pocketbook explains how managers can create an environment in which innovation thrives. It identifies the numerous barriers to innovation, organisational and self-imposed by individuals, and describes how through positive intervention these blocks can be cast aside. All innovation comes with a degree of risk. To manage the process successfully, the manager must determine the required level of innovation (four are described in the book, from incremental to transformational) and assess the associated risk. The manager must also be supportive of his team, acting as advisor, coach, promoter, sounding-board, resource provider and defender when ideas don't work out. Nurture not stifle is author Doug Miller's message!
