4 stars (Insightful!) - Anyone can apply the principles in John C. Maxwell's book, in any business, in any circumstance, in any stage of life. Great thinkers have an unlimited capacity to achieve, and Maxwell tells you how to become one. While books of this nature are typically geared toward entrepreneurs or those in leadership roles, we recommend this book to any person who is committed to ongoing personal development and living life with purpose. You will benefit from learning more about the different specific thinking skills that have an impact on your daily decisions. Maxwell teaches an unusual skill: how to make conscious choices that shape your thoughts, your actions and, ultimately, your success. Think about it. 5 stars (You're thinking right now...right?) - Several years ago, one of the best leaders I know, someone who managed to rise to the top of every organization he was ever in --including the one he currently works for, told me the secret to his success. "Think like a leader," he said. I've often meditated on his words. I've discovered that they are absolutely true... In his book, Maxwell explains how you can leverage the power of your thoughts to acheive unthinkable success: He gives you all the different ways leaders think and then shows you how to do it yourself. Just like my friend said: "Think like a leader." Order this book and find out how. 4 stars (You may not use all of it....) - You may not use ALL of the ideas in this book BUT if you find just one that helps you - then it is worth the investment. I believe each one of John Maxwell's types of thinking that are identified and briefly explained could be individual books all by themselves. The thing I appreciated most about "Thinking For a Change" was that it gave me "just enough" of what I was looking for. My suggestion is to read "Thinking.. " then pick the area you most need work on and delve deeper with other resources. Reading this book, gave me one key concept on strategic thinking wh...

4 stars (Great book! ) - This book is very well written and will keep your interest. The book covers some very important facets of leadership mainly: integrity, ethics, trust, and other peoples feelings. If you are reading this review and you don't really know why those factors are keystones to leadership then this book would be a good addition to your leadership skills. If leadership were a pie this book would be several slices but not the whole pie. For an in-depth look at leadership read the army field manual for leadership. 5 stars (Primal Leadership) - The book by Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis and Anne Mc Kee is a wonderful study on all modern leadership styles, and how to learn how to lead with Emotional Intelligence. Several cases are presented, on worldwide and US companies, providing us with the best and thorough analysis on how to achieve the highest performance, by focusing on the diverse aspects of Emotional Intelligence. I believe it is a must for top executives, managers and counsellors from Organizations, and for all of those seeking to improve their emotional skills, be them focused on job or on life improvement. 2 stars (Too stretching) - I really liked Dan Goleman's previous books on Emotional Intelligence (EI). Goleman's article on "Primal Leadership" appeared in Harvard Business Review (HBR) a few years ago. His book version of primal leadership is a little too stretching. If you are not keen on reading the not-so-interesting details, I would recommend the article version in HBR, which gives a very good synopsis of the book. ...

5 stars (great product!) - First, I hesitated to buy this product because of a few bad reviews. But then I wanted to take a chance and I'm very glad I bought it finally! IRIS Pen Executive works great! 2 stars (Not impressed!) - I have yet to get this pen to scan one complete, readable sentence and believe me I have tried. I tried calibrating it on different shades of white paper to see if that helped but to no avail. The only thing it would scan reasonably well was the instruction booklet that came with the pen. Go figure! Iris support tells me to calibrate and practice but I learned to play guitar faster than I have learned to use this scanner! 5 stars (Believe it!) - I did hours of research on hand held scanners and almost did not purchase ANY do to all the confusion. I took a chance and Bought the IRISpen Executive scanner. In only a few minutes I had the software loaded (painless) and was scanning material from everything I could get my hands on. Once I learned how to hold it for my hand posture (5 minutes)it was a snap. I have read other reviews and can not figure out why anyone would not want this... it is fantastic. It is much faster then typing. In a few minutes I had scanned pages of material that I had collected for over a year. I am not a techy kind of guy so this was awesome. I give it 5 stars! I can only scratch my head If someone cannot figure this out. ...

5 stars (diskeeper 9) - this is an excellent program for keeping HD neat and clean. windows has a defrangment program built in but after using diskeeper 9 i wont use windows verson again. as a test i defragmented my HD using windows then used diskeeper 9 to see how well windows did ...............no comparison. diskeeper found defragments all over my HD. i love the "set it and forget it" on diskeeper. i use the screensaver set up,. so when ever my PC is running and my screen saver comes up, diskeeper goes into action and defragments the HD, which keeps my PC running fast. speaking of fast i also noticed the diskeeper ran faster then windows for defragmenting. windows has been known to take up to 2 hours + for defragmenting. diskeeper took less then 30 mins the first time running, now it takes 1-5 mins if that due to the set up i choose. mind you i am not a PC expert but i can find my way around a PC pretty well. so i am HIGHLY recommending diskeeper 9. 5 stars (Great product) - I purchased Diskeeper 9 after using version 7 for a few years. Version 9 is a big improvement. It keeps my files in order, and does it a lot faster. Great product it does a much better job than the windows version. 3 stars (getting better) - I have yet to see executive's defragger outperform O&O Defragger software or Raxco's Perfectdisk. If I were to place these 3 programs, it would be: 1st place - O&O Defrag V8.0 2nd place - Raxco perfect disk V7.0 3rd - Winternal's defragger utility/ Executive's "diskkeeper" O&O is like THE defragger to use. A real, true "swiss army knife" of defragger's. Choose "HOW" you defrag a system, based upon how it is used. You have like 6 ways to defrag, based upon how YOU want it done. [Example: workstation, file server, database server, etc] All of the above mentioned companies offer DEMOs of their programs. Do yourself a favor and "test-drive" each product BEFORE you buy. ...

5 stars (Excellent Tool: A must-have) - This is an excellent piece of software, and I recommend it for everyone. This tool is as valuable to me as Lavasoft's Ad-Aware. I'm a computer professional and as soon as most people find out, their first response is, "Oh my god you need to look at my computer it's SO SLOW. You need to look at it." My typical regiment is: 1) Download, Install, and Run Lavasoft's Ad-Aware 2) Scan for viruses using McAfee's free online scan (Always up-to-date, despite what may be installed) 3) Run through the registry's run and startup folder to stop unnecessary programs from starting on load 4) Download, Install, Schedule, and Run Diskeeper. People are amazed at how much faster thier computer runs. In fact, after a fresh install I also run Diskeeper just to squeeze every drop of performance out of the PC as possible. Two important things to note: - Why is defragmenting important? - Why not use the built-in defragmenter? Answers: Let's say you're writing a document in MS Word. You save the document and close it. Then you begin to write another word document. When you save the second document to disk, windows will likely put the new file immediately after the old file. Well, what happens when you add new stuff to the first file if the second file took up the space the first file had left immediately after it? Well it saves the new changes in the space AFTER the second file, hence creating a fragmented file. A fragmented file is a file the is not contiguous, and has segments in different physical locations on the hard disk. Picture a fragmented file as a file with other files inside of it, breaking it apart. If you research hard disk statistics, you'll see 2 common factors in rating hard disk performance: Seek time and transfer speed. Transfer speed is the MAXIMUM speed in which your hard disk can transfer the information over a wire from the disk itself to the computer, after the data is located. Seek time is the average amount of t...
