Capitaland Author J. Peter Yakel announces the recent selection of "The Legend of Juggin Joe" cover art for featured placement on Bruce Brenner's distinguished Dawson Knox Black Jersey , Vintage Paperbacks & Digests website ( ). Vintage Paperbacks is highly regarded for its impressive collection of over 800 cover images of unique and rare paperbacks and digests from yesteryear, including such publishers as Ace, Avon, Bantam, Banner, Dell, Eton Devin Singletary Black Jersey , Gold Medal, Handi-Books, Lion Books, Monarch, and Pyramid. The selection of modern cover art from Yakel's recently released contemporary fiction tale marks a first for the distinguished vintage website, and for the Capitaland author, it's not an achievement without considerable personal merit and satisfaction.


With a grin Cody Ford Black Jersey , Yakel explains how he instituted the equivalent of a 'literary coup d'etat' to garner placement of Juggin Joe on the prestigious website. Says Yakel, "Vintage Paperbacks & Digests recently unveiled a new 'Hillbilly' genre cover art section. Having visited this fine site many times before, I quickly realized that the vintage covers featured, and my Juggin Joe cover share a common theme - they are equally inspiring, nostalgic, and of course, recognizable as literary classics."


Certain that his Juggin Joe cover would add to Vintage's appeal Ed Oliver Black Jersey , Yakel spoke directly with Vintage Proprietor and Chief Operating Officer, Bruce Brenner. "Bruce is an incredibly perceptive man, and obviously we share the same insight when it comes to classic literary works", says the Capitaland humorist. "Bruce and I talked about Juggin Joe's storyline, and the fact that, while Joe may not a vintage book today, it is almost certain to be some years down the road Zay Jones Black Jersey , as it seasons over time." In addition, the Juggin Joe cover art, which Yakel conceptually created and commissioned artist Jonathan Fesmire ( ) to develop, is both rich in detail and visually pleasing, just as the many covers Vintage now features. "From there", Yakel finishes, "I opined that if Bruce was as impressed with the cover as I believed he would be Tre'Davious White Black Jersey , placing Juggin Joe on the Vintage website today would not only be personally satisfying for the both of us, but more importantly, it would do our readers and visitors an incredible public service."


Indeed it does. Not only does the current placement of the Juggin Joe cover art save Vintage staff the effort of finding and featuring it some years down the road, but this momentous decision also gives regular Vintage visitors, and so many others the inspiration that, despite the diminished number of unique books being written today, The Legend of Juggin Joe shines like a true beacon Tremaine Edmunds Black Jersey , proof positive that not all of the literary classics are gone.






"The management of self is critical. Without it, leaders may do more harm than good. Like incompetent physicians, incompetent managers make people sicker and less vital." ?Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus, Leaders (in a chapter entitled "Leading Others, Managing Yourself")

Too many managers who aspire to lead and develop others haven't learned how to lead and develop themselves. They are trying to build organizations or provide services that are different than they are. These well-intentioned managers are trying to improve their teams or organizations without improving themselves. Many seem to be living along the lines of Mark Twain's observation, "Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits."

Here are some examples of these all too common disconnects between organization and personal performance:

?Pessimistic managers push their companies to be market and industry leaders while blaming external factors like the economy for their poor performance.

?Managers with stunted personal growth set strategies to build a "Learning Organization."

?Managers produce team and organization vision, values Josh Allen Black Jersey , and mission statements without having clarified and aligned their own personal preferred future, principles, and purpose.

?A major program to improve customer service is initiated by managers who boss, direct, and control rather than serve their organization's servers.

?Managers with weak levels of continuous personal improvement implement change and improvement programs ?for others.

?Strict Technomanagers (bureaucratic or technical experts) oversee rigid systems and processes while trying to encourage risk taking and innovation.

?Management groups comprised of turf protecting departmental managers, fighting like three kids in the back seat on a long hot drive, try to get others to build stronger teams.

?Disorganized managers with poor time management habits are setting goals Jim Kelly Black Jersey , priorities, and disciplined processes for everyone else.

?Although they have no personal improvement plan, process, or habits, managers develop extensive organization transformation and improvement plans.

?While avoiding (and shooting messengers of) personal feedback, managers construct extensive performance appraisal systems and talk about the importance of accountability ?for everyone else.

A Team or Organization Can't Rise Above the Level of Its Leadership
