Joseph Garcia is not out to make babies smarter; he simply wants to help them communicate earlier. Based on his book of the same name, this 62-minute tape shows parents how to teach their prespeaking tots simple signs to indicate their needs and thoughts, thus avoiding the common frustration of a baby who understands language but cannot use it. Several sets of parents and babies demonstrate Garcia's lessons, which he breaks up into chapterlike segments, complete with recaps at the end of each. Garcia guides parents from beginning efforts, such as teaching 7- to 10-month-olds signs for "eat," "milk," and "more," to more complex concepts such as "help" and "pain," allowing for plenty of variation along the way. His no-pressure attitude is reinforced by clips of his classes with parents and children, while an early-childhood-development expert and speech pathologist add their support of his methods. Included at the end is a 13-minute sign "dictionary" with codes for easy reference. --Kimberly Heinrichs

The Leader's Pyramid: A Balanced and Consistent Approach to Leadership

In his book, The Leader's Pyramid, Joseph Garcia provides a leadership tool that is both easy to remember and easy to apply to most management situations. Garcia offers proven leadership success based on a challenging military career and while serving as a CFO for a national nonprofit and most recently as the "Katrina CFO" for FEMA in New Orleans for three years. Garcia's Leader's Pyramid tool has allowed him to do his part to meet extraordinary mission requirements in extraordinary places. The Leader's Pyramid is built and grounded on proven principles and is valuable to all types of leaders -- experienced manager or newly promoted supervisor. Joseph blends his "walked in a leader's shoes" perspective with extensive research and academic principles. He taught a Leadership course at the Air Force Academy and received his Executive Masters in Leadership from Georgetown University. His desired outcome for his readers is a balanced and consistent approach to leadership. Using the Leader's Pyramid construct has allowed Joseph to be consistent in how he reaches decisions, especially tough ones involving people concerns, because he follows the same decision-making process. At the same time, he has gained the proper balance in his leadership focus and actions since his Leader's Pyramid allocates a 60/30/10 percentage mix for the Mission, People, and Ego factors respectively. Proof of Garcia's "recipe for success" includes many organizational and individual awards, including the "Male Boss of the Year" through the Federal Women's Awards Program. Joseph builds the Leader's Pyramid with his readers one block at a time, using his wealth of personal experiences along with illustrating scenarios that helps explain and reinforce the Mission, People, and Ego components. Garcia even uses the Leader's Pyramid to advocate how to become a better spouse, parent, and well-rounded individual. Finally, his "pyramid maintenance tips" promote continuous professional and personal development. In short, Garcia takes his readers on an enjoyable learning journey throughout The Leader's Pyramid.
