In the past, a secure job came from working for a large, established organization, preferably a monopoly or market leader in a stable industry. The longer your service, stronger your union, higher your rank or the more specialized your knowledge or function, the more secure you were. But in today's world, experience may be your worst enemy! Everything that used to create security now creates insecurity! In fact, large companies have been the largest net job losers in the '90s. And over 80 percent of the technology that we will use in 20 years hasn't been invented yet! 
What will prepare you for the future? Learn how to learn. Become self-corrective and self-reflective. Increase your creativity and work better as a team member. We have moved from a knowledge-based to a learning-based economy. Learning, changing and accepting uncertainty creates security. Paradoxically, these are what we fear most as adults! The Learning Paradox will teach you not only how to survive business in the 90s, but how to thrive!

Based on research into best practices at more than 250 companies, this breakthrough book shares how some of today's most progressive organizations are doing just that -- and shutting down the revolving door -- by leveraging their core purpose and corporate culture to attract and retain great employees. Written in a crisp, reader-friendly style, with numerous examples and case studies, it shows managers and HR professionals how to simplify and streamline the recruiting process * improve organizational focus by benchmarking their company's practices against the world's best-run companies * achieve a good fit between employees and corporate culture * become the employer of choice within their industry, their market, and their community. In today's tight labor market, finding employees that are keepers is critical to success. This book offers a powerful new action plan to help companies find and keep employees who will enable them to find and keep success."

While moving through public schools in Dallas and into Texas colleges, the young narrator of Ruby Dallas encounters a cavalcade of violent and gentle souls, from shady nightclub owners and bright prostitutes, to godly preachers and saintly teachers; from dangerous drug dealers and hungry paper carriers to armed robbers and race car drivers; and from girls in their summer dresses to women in nothing at all.Life in post-World War II Dallas was no Lone Ranger radio western, nor was it an Ozzie and Harriet television comedy.In multiple ways life resembled the movement in music from the soft rock and roll of Bill Haley to the hard rock of the Rolling stones.From the movies of the times, he saw life as a motorcycle tour in The Wild One, a horseback escape in One-Eyed Jacks, and a standup comedy routine in Studs Lonigan. Dallas in the late forties, fifties, and early sixties may have had a bright red horse turning on the top of one of its downtown skyscrapers, but for this kid, the real ruby red of Big D could be seen much easier in the blood on its downtown streets and in the alleys of its across-the-Trinity suburb of Oak Cliff.
