About the book: tribal leadership ever since there have been people, there have been tribes. Within each corporation exist anywhere from a few to hundreds of separate tribes, and dave logan, phd and john king show how these tribes develop, how to assess them, and how to lead them to maximize productivity and growth. Its a fact of life: birds flock, fish school, people "tribe. " malcolm gladwell and other authors have written about how the fact that humans are genetically programmed to form "tribes" of 20-150 people has proven true throughout our species history. Every company in the word consists of an interconnected network of tribes (a tribe is defined as a group of between 20 and 150 people in which everyone knows everyone else, or at least knows of everyone else). In tribal leadership, dave logan and john king show corporate leaders how to first assess their companys tribal culture and then raise their companies tribes to unprecedented heights of success. In a rigorous eight-year study of approximately 24,000 people in over two dozen corporations, logan and king discovered a common theme: the success of a company depends on its tribes, the strength of its tribes is determined by the tribal culture, and a thriving corporate culture can be established by an effective tribal leader. Tribal leadership will show leaders how to employ their companies tribes to maximize productivity and profit: the authors research, backed up with interviews ranging from brian france (ceo of nascar) to "dilbert" creator scott adams, shows that over three quarters of the organizations theyve studied have tribal cultures that are adequate at best.

A classic tale of good against evil pits nurse against consultant and working-class woman against upper-middle-class man. Joy is a nurse who enjoys life and finds the best in everyone. For her, the hospital is a chaotic, exciting landscape of work and play where everyone has a story to tell. For Mr. Jeffries, the consultant, however, the patients and the staff are all tarred with the same brush – an ignorant, lazy, drunken, violent, drug-crazed rabble. White trash. Arrogant and elitist, Jeffries hankers after a class system that has gone – but that he wants re-established. When Joy becomes suspicious about the death of a patient, a clash between the two becomes inevitable.

In this contemporary Midnight Express, a young English traveller is locked up in a Greek jail for a crime he did not commit.\n\nSeven Towers is another name for Hell: a prison where squalor and fear are endemic and where the barbarism of the warders is more than matched by that of the inmates. A nightmare interspersed with memories of childhood and his past journeys, The Prison House is as much about one man's indomitable will to survive as it is about the capacity for evil. As such, it is a moving testament to the human spirit and its ability -- against the odds -- to hold on to hope and the idea of love.

Formed in the mists of New Year's Eve, The Sex Division sees procreation at its most material, as five men devise a point system based upon the act. A missing brother, prophetic visions, a love-affair, and a confrontation draw the characters out into the open, revealing the men behind the machismo.

“Only a phenomenally talented and empathetic writer working from within his own culture can achieve the power and authenticity this book pulses with. Buy, steal, or borrow a copy now, because in a short time anyone who hasn't read it won't be worth talking to.”  —Irvine Welsh, author, Trainspotting   The Football Factory is driven by its two main characters—late-20s warehouseman Tommy Johnson and retired ex-soldier Bill Farrell. Tommy is angry at his situation in life and those running the country. Outside of work, he is a lively, outspoken character, living for his time with a gang of football hooligans, the excitement of their fights and the comradeship he finds with his friends. He is a violent man, at the same time moral and intelligent. Bill, meanwhile, is a former World War II hero who helped liberate a concentration camp and married a survivor. He is a strong, principled character who sees the self-serving political and media classes for what they are. Tommy and Bill have shared feelings, but express their views in different ways. Born at another time, they could have been the other. As the book unfolds both come to their own crossroads and have important decisions to make. The Football Factory is a book about modern-day pariahs, people reduced to the level of statistics by years of hypocritical, self-serving party politics. It is about those who are insulted, marginalized, and unseen. Graphic and disturbing, and at times very funny, The Football Factory is a rush of literary adrenalin. This edition includes a new introduction by the author.
