BOOK REVIEW #94
Tearing Down the Walls – A vivid biography of Wall Street titan, Sandy Weill, an illuminating history of Wall Street, and an inside-the-executive-suite look at how decisions are made. Weill emerges as not just the most compelling character on Wall Street today, but a King Lear-like figure of towering ego, who embodies the transformative power of American capitalism. Until now no single book has captured his boundless energy, street-savvy intellect and towering ambition. A powerful narrative grips the reader right up to the revelations of its final pages.

Workplace Warrior : Insights and Advice for Winning on the Corporate Battlefield – How to go from a single mother of two to president and CEO of a high tech firm that Inc. magazine twice rated in the Top-20 of the fastest-growing companies in America. Kay Hammer is one of those rare people who decide that nothing is going to change in their lives unless they make it happen. Hammer's personal story is as compelling as the success of the company she built.

By The Numbers : Using Facts and Figures to Get Your Projects, Plans, and Ideas Approved – This is a dry book, but it's a dry subject, and you don't read a business book for fun and frolics!

This invaluable book is a step-by-step guide that shows how to create a winning case for your proposal.

BOOK REVIEW #5
Use What You've Got, and Other Business Lessons I Learned from My Mom
Learn how Barbara Corcoran took a thousand dollars and created a billion dollar company, using her mom's funny lessons. Although the book is written like a novel, it is a 'must read' for anyone in the real estate business or trying to break the glass ceiling no matter what business you're in. A great book about self-reliance, initiative and family values.
