Global Leadership 2e: Research, Practice, and Development (Global HRM)

Global leadership has been frequently heralded by writers and executives as the key to sustained competitive advantage on the part of organizations. In addition, it is clear that the possession of leadership qualities and the display of leader behavior are requirements for individuals attempting to progress in their careers. It is important for aspiring managers to learn about the nature of effective global leadership and how they can develop their own competencies in this area. This textbook provides an important overview of this key emerging area within business and management. Offering a view into the nature of global leadership and the competencies necessary for aspiring managers to succeed, Global Leadership is essential reading for students of leadership, organizational theory, strategic management, human resource management, and for anyone working and managing in the global arena. Now in its second edition, it draws from recent research to both contemporize timeless topics and address today's relevant topics, from corporate social responsibility, to cultural competencies, to current technology.

Your name is Adam Luce. 
The Year is 1923, and you're on your way to Berlin, which the guide books and newspapers have come to call the World Capital of Sin. 
Your mission is to learn the secrets of manufacturing the new wonder drug, aspirin. You have a degree in chemistry, you have a letter of introduction to the world's largest chemical cartel, and you're prepared to accomplish that mission. But you're not prepared for Charlotte, nor for the secrets she'll share. 
And nobody told you that you'd have to save the world.

No matter if you consider yourself a success or are seeking ways to experience it, Make Sure Your Shirt Has Buttons describes certain behavioral and personality traits we all must use to succeed in life. We are taught throughout our childhood and well into adulthood that there are typically four things we must do if we want to achieve success. The four things, referred to metaphorically in the book as "shirts", are: get an education; get a job; maintain good physical and mental health; obey all laws. We're taught about these four things at school, home, and through a variety of other methods. But one message that is not taught is the fact that these four things only lay the foundation for what it takes to begin the process of succeeding in life. Just as a real shirt won't function as intended, or look as good without buttons, the author provides 13 principles that serve as "buttons" to complement the metaphorical shirts. Through the use of personal examples, the author shares various strategies, suggestions, recommendations, and tips that describe the process to become a success.

Fairways to Heaven is the definitive reference of the public-access golf courses that every golfer should - and can! - play in his or her lifetime! The authors lived the ultimate golfers fantasy by traveling over 26,000 miles by car and playing 91 courses in their quest to find the best courses in America. The result is a beautiful, 320 page full-color guidebook featuring 56 courses. Stunning photographs, hole diagrams, course information, scorecards, and insightful commentary offer the most in-depth information available on a "tick list" of the best courses. Playing to differing skill level, the authors also share their course strategy tips in special "Aces" and "Novices" sections of each course. 
How many of the top courses have you played? Compare your list to Trent and Michael's as they narrowed down to a "finalist" list of only 91. Then they actually played every single one! No other golf travel guide can claim such objective writing. Furthermore, Trent and Michael are just like you - a couple of golfers who before Fairways to Heaven had never written about golf. That means the book isn't written from a scratch golfer perspective telling you how to shoot par on every course. Instead, it's written from a low handicapper and a high handicapper perspectives in layman's terms. 
American classic golf courses such as Pebble Beach, Pinehurst, Bay Hill, and Harbour Town are included along with contemporary greats such as Barton Creek, Blackwolf Run, Troon North, and World Woods. Trent and Michael even made it to Hawaii! Cost of green fees was not considered for inclusion for the book - the only requirement is that the course must be accessible to the public. While several courses are quite expensive, Trent and Michael also unveil some bargains. However, if the course is in the book, it's a course that every golfer should play at least once in his or her lifetime - regardless of price. 
Trent and Michael also use a unique golf ball sleeve rating system (SRS) for each course. The SRS is similar to the green, blue, and black diamond ski slope ratings and is a guide for the golfer to select the correct tee boxes to play. Save the tough ones until you improve your game a bit but make no mistake - play every one of these courses! 
It was a tough job, but somebody had to do it - and they did. 5,967 putts and 283 lost golf balls later, they survived to write about it. Also included in the book are fascinating stories - fun tales from the road that can only happen to a couple of guys spending over seven months on the road playing golf! 
See why The Golf Channel and other top golf publications have called Fairways to Heaven a must-have for every golfer - "It's a book you will use time and time again every time you pack your clubs for your next trip." . . . "Fairways will re-kindle great memories of courses that you've already played and get your golf adrenaline pumping for those that you haven't played yet". 
For anyone who has ever picked up a club, teed up a ball, walked freshly cut grass, and felt the power of golf, this is the guide to the courses every player should experience in his or her lifetime.
