Instant Turnaround! by Ross Reck and Harry Paul

Our client, Ross Reck, is now featured on BizRibbon.com, Real Information for Real Executives.  Ross’ new book Instant Turnaround! is soon to be published in a few weeks.  Here’s a exerpt from the article:

Do you have a department, team or sales force where the employees are demoralized because of today?s bad economy or where they routinely underachieve, fail to take initiative or refuse to work together as a team? Would you like to turn your situation around immediately?as in overnight? Think something like this is impossible? Think again!

Early in 2007, Tom Coughlin, head coach of the New York Giants of the National Football League, was in danger of losing his job. His team had lost seven of their last nine games and was characterized by in-fighting and bickering. Coach Coughlin had always been a no-nonsense hard-nosed football coach who motivated his players with fear. During the off-season he completely reversed his approach to coaching and started motivating his players with trust. He started smiling, let his players get to know him as a person and communicated to his players in a number of ways that he cared about them. The turnaround was instant. The team came together and the players gave Coach Coughlin everything they had, week in and week out, which culminated in a 2008 Super Bowl victory over the previously unbeaten New England Patriots.

Rockwell Kent: This Is My Own

David Strang’s first edition collection continues to draw attention from collectors all over the world.  You can always view his collection at DimensionBooks.com .  While chatting with a friend regarding David’s collection our discussion turned to illustrators and first edition books.  I would encourage anybody interested in illustration to visit the New York State Museum’s website and, perhaps, even visit the exhibition of Rockwell Kent, This Is My own.  The Art Appreciation Foundation recently wrote, “The Kent Legacies generously donated an outstanding collection of first edition books written and/or illustrated by Rockwell Kent. Perhaps the most spectacular first edition is the Lakeside Press three volume Moby Dick which is in mint condition and housed in the original shipping box. At least one copy of all of Kent’s major book work is represented in the collection and the ephemera contains a fine cross section of handsome posters, bookplates, logos, letterheads, book announcements, Christmas cards, exhibition catalogs, and American-Soviet friendship material. The Kent Gallery and the Feinberg Library afford an unusual resource to scholars of twentieth century American Art. The Rockwell Kent Collection portrays Kent’s growth as an artist, as well as his varied interests of a humane and political nature.”
