Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'We know that the importance of these three human qualities--head, heart, and guts--has been recognized by people before our own time. The idea is not new. The most obvious illustration of it comes from the movies. Almost everyone has seen The Wizard of Oz, one of the most popular films ever made. You will recall that the three main characters (besides Dorothy and her dog Toto) were the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion. The Scarecrow was searching for brains, the Tin Man for a heart, and the Lion for courage--or head, heart, and guts. Each recognized he was incomplete. Each was searching for the missing piece that would make him whole. Each had an underdeveloped capacity but either didn't know it or didn't know how to use what he had.We find that many business leaders today are in the same situation as the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Lion--searching for the key personal quality that will somehow make them successful or whole (and often investing significantly in 'wizards' who promise to do so). Quite often, what they need already exists within them but is unrecognized or undeveloped. We hope this book will help move you down the yellow brick road of leadership understanding.'--from the Introduction.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Reflections of Prague is the story of how a Czech Jewish family become embroiled in the most tragic and tumultuous episodes of the twentieth century. Through their eyes we see the history of their beloved Prague, a unique European city, and the wider, political forces that tear their lives apart. Their moving story traces the major events, turmoil, oppression and triumphs of Europe through the last hundred years from the Austro Hungarian Empire to the First World War; from the vibrant artistic and intellectual life of Prague in the times of Kafka, the Capek Brothers and Masaryk to years of hunger in a Polish ghetto and the concentration camps of Hitler; from the tyrannous rule of Stalin to the rekindled hopes of Dubcek and the subsequent Soviet occupation to liberation under Havel. Told from Ivan s perspective, it is a poignant but uplifting tale that tells of life lived with purpose and conviction, in the face of personal suffering and sacrifice. A remarkable book. This archetypical story of the twentieth century is intertwined with an almost stream of consciousness narrative of the history of the Czechs, of Prague, interspersed with samples of exquisite poetry by great contemporary poets. So the narrative flows like Eliot s sweet Thames full of the debris of tragic lives, of horrors, of moments of beauty and testimonies of love all against the backdrop of man s inhumanity. Josef kvorecký A poignant and vivid mémoire of a child searching for traces of his father, lost in the murky ideologies of post war Central Europe. An engrossing book. Sir John Tusa.
