Raise High The Roof Beam, Carpenters & Seymour An Introduction

Hidden within each of us is a superstar waiting to come alive. Often we don t find that superstar because we give up too easily or think that superstars have special talents we lack. Follow the Yellow Brick Road shows us that we all have the potential to be superstars in what we love to do. The secret lies in knowing how to bring our superstar to life. This book is based on Dr. White s research into how over 60 ordinary people became superstars. It began by asking how people like Oprah, Richard Branson, Sam Walton, and Lance Armstrong became superstars? Is there a common path that superstars follow? What Dr. White discovered is that superstars follow the same Yellow Brick Road as Dorothy and her companions in their triumphant journey through Oz. They don t start out as exceptionally talented or beautiful people. They often doubt whether they have the brains, heart and courage to succeed, but they climb to the top because they know the way and the right steps to take to reach their goals. Follow the Yellow Brick Road shows you the way. It contains the nine-step road map followed by superstars and provides you with the tools to create your own personal success cycle. It shows you how to identify what makes you special, chart your course, navigate organizational roadblocks and build the types of relationships that you need to excel. In addition, it teaches you the psychological mind-sets that successful people use. You will learn how to manage your emotions, perform at your peak when it counts most, overcome failure, and generate the positive mental energy that sustains all superstars. Each step in the road map is illustrated with examples from the lives of the over 60 superstars in the book. Through these examples you will learn valuable strategies and techniques that superstars use. By applying them to your own life and following the book s road map, you can bring your inner superstar to life and achieve more than you ever dreamed possible. What reviewers are saying about the book: I ve been reading books on successful people to glean their best practices and apply them to me. Wow! Follow the Yellow Brick Road does this all, along with the structure for a successful career path. Very different than any other book out there. Stuart Lecky, COO, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Information Technology Division. Dr. White has written a simple, wise, entertaining, well-researched and profoundly practical book on how to develop the inner strengths that make people successful. But the most poignant part is that Dr. White reminds us of the simple things we need to remember in order to be happy and remain true to ourselves on the Yellow Brick Road of life. David P. Snyder, author of How to Hire a Champion. A riveting and fascinating read. Dr. Thomas Gutheil, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School.

As of July 26, 2006, the SEC completed the most sweeping overhaul of executive compensation and related party transaction disclosure in fourteen years. Executive Compensation and Related-Party Disclosure: SEC Rules and Explanations provides timely and thorough explanations, implications and full text of these reforms. The revision puts in place a principles-based disclosure regime designed to give investors the information they need on executive compensation to make informed investment decisions and demystify any financial dealings between executives and their companies. The new rules also enhance and consolidate into one item director independence and related corporate governance disclosure requirements. The heart of the reforms is the new Summary Compensation Table and the new Compensation Discussion and Analysis. The Summary Compensation Table is the principal vehicle for executive compensation, showing the total compensation for each of the named executive officers. For the first time, SEC rules require that all elements of executive compensation must be disclosed and that a total individual compensation number be provided for the five named executive officers. Other tables will display post-retirement compensation and options exercises. The new Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&amp;A) section is a narrative principles-based overview explaining material elements of the company’s compensation for named executive officers. It provides a company with both an obligation and an opportunity to explain its compensation policies, focusing on the most important factors. It will be filed and thus subject to Sarbanes-Oxley certification. The SEC also mandated a new compensation committee report requiring the committee to state if it has reviewed and discussed the CD&amp;A with management and recommended to the board that the CD&amp;A be included in the annual report.
