The son of Italian immigrants, Jerry has become one of the most powerful men in sports. One of only a handful of "triple aces" in World War II, Ken returned from a POW camp to start a business he later sold for $139 million. A mother of seven, Noel has been called "the third most powerful businesswoman in L.A." At a time when people are looking for spiritual meaning and purpose in their work, stories of people with depth and balance in their lives who have overcome remarkable obstacles yet achieved remarkable success are more inspirational than ever. Authors Oster and Hamel tell twenty such inspirational stories outlining these entrepreneurs' commitment to God, genuine love of people, willingness to take risks, and ability to learn and adapt to change.

Synopsis
Napoleon Hill summed up his philosophy of success in Think and Grow Rich!, one of the bestselling inspirational business books ever. A recent USA Today survey of business leaders named it one of the five most influential books in its field, more than 40 years after it was first published. Now, in Napoleon Hill's Keys to Success, his broadly outlined principles are expanded in detail for the first time, with concrete advice on their use and implementation.
Compiled from Hill's teaching materials, lectures, and articles, Napoleon Hill's Keys to Success provides mental exercises, self-analysis techniques, powerful encouragement, and straightforward advice to anyone seeking personal and financial improvement. In addition to Hill's many personal true-life examples of the principles in action, there are also contemporary illustrations featuring dynamos like Bill Gates, Peter Lynch, and Donna Karan. No other Napoleon Hill book has addressed these 17 principles so completely and in such precise detail. For the millions of loyal Napoleon Hill fans and for those who discover him each year, Napoleon Hill?s Keys to Success promises to be a valuable and important guide on the road to riches.

There’s a crisis in business today," say corporate recognition consultants Gostick and Elton. "The rhetoric we’ve been using for years—about people being ‘our most valuable asset’—has actually come true. Without much warning, we woke up one day and realized that having the right talent in this competitive marketplace is the key to success . . . Go figure." But there is a way to retain your best employees and win their loyalty and commitment: It’s called Employee Recognition. Managing with Carrots illustrates how to implement a strategic employee recognition program and presents case studies of how North America’s finest companies create powerful recognition experiences.
From the Inside Flap
A peson entering the workforce today will have eight to ten jobs during his or her working life, and most people will change careers at least once. For a company trying to stay ahead in a competitive world, this decline in employee commitment could be the difference between corporate success and oblivion. But it is possible to win employee commitment and retain the best employees. Many of the world's finest organizations have carefully built cultures of employee recognition, and their efforts have been rewarded with well-documented increases in employee satisfaction, productivity and profitability. Unfortunately, most organizations have no idea how underappreciated their workers feel, and many wonder why so many of their employees leave for new jobs that pay just pennies more an hour.
Corporations can save thousands, even millions, of dollars and man-hours by keeping their best employees instead of continually recruiting and training new people. Managing with Carrots shows you how. Based on years of practical research focused on the best managers in the best organizations, Gostick and Elton explain how to create powerful, bonding recognition experiences and present case studies from some of North America's finest companies.
Use this book to create your own plan for rewarding employees, and watch attitudes change. Let the experts guide you through the steps to rewarding employees for actions that support your company's goal--without spending a fortune.
