We speak. We listen. We chat. Lots of people know how to talk—but few know how to really communicate. Conversation is the most powerful yet underutilized tool at a manager?s command. If managers change the way they talk to people, they can become much more than effective managers—they can become great leaders. Leadership and the Art of Conversation by Kim Krisco is a unique book that approaches the subject of conversation step by step. First it identifies the most productive aspects of conversation—including coaching, listening, managing, organizing, and even personal chat; then it shows readers how to put them to work. ?If you observe leaders,? says Krisco, ? one fact becomes immediately evident. They spend most of their time in conversation. Everything leaders accomplish is the result of their conversations. Change the kinds of conversations you have and you immediately become a more potent and effective leader.? In Leadership and the Art of Conversation, Krisco covers everything managers need to converse more effectively, including: • the basic tools and principles of effective conversations • sample scripts and real-life examples • making proper requests and dealing with nonresponses • generating and maintaining commitment • managing the flow of a conversation • applying the eight conversational principles Used wisely, conversation can be a manager?s most valuable asset.

Leadership Your Way 
To be an effective leader you need to ensure that ten basic organizational processes are present and robust – but you do not have to lead or manage these processes yourself. 
Your innate personal or behavioral style enables you to be masterful in leading some organizational processes and not very effective leading others. As a consequence, we tend to discount or ignore those leadership acts that don’t come natural. The result is that our enterprise is not getting all the leadership it needs. 
Leadership Your Way lets you zero in on your own, unique personal style and learn what organizational processes likely need your attention. The book goes on to give you customized coaching tips around these "missing or weak processes." 
In short, Leadership Your Way helps you to leverage your natural strengths and manage your weaker areas – play the hand you’ve been dealt . . . and win.

Sherlock Holmes lamented, "I fear that retirement will elude me." It surely does in this five story chronicle. The saga begins with The Bonnie Bag of Bones that lead the infamous duo on a not-so-merry chase into the mythical mountains of Scotland and ultimately to the "the woman" who is tangled within a mystery that has haunted Holmes for a quarter century. Curse of the Black Feather continues the adventure in which Holmes teams up with the Irregulars and a gypsy matriarch, to expose a diabolical "baby-farming" enterprise. Their quest arouses a vicious adversary, Ciarán Malastier, who has Holmes struggling for his very life. Maestro of Mysteries begins with a summons to Mycroft's office and ends with a deadly chase in Undertown, far beneath the streets of London. Malastier escapes, but only into the next adventure. The Cure that Kills sees Holmes and Watson in hot pursuit of Ciarán Malastier, racing across America and pitting them against the largest detective organization in the world. In the final story, The Kongo Nkis Spirit Train, Holmes and Watson travel to the Dark Continent to derail a "spirit train" that ensnares people's spirit, and enslaves their bodies. In the end, this historically accurate chronicle sheds new light on greatest mystery of all, Sherlock Holmes himself.
