Following the September 11th terrorist’s attacks, Bill Maher, host of the controversial late night television show Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, outraged an already shell-shocked America. During the show he attacked our military by saying “We have been the cowards lobbing cruise missiles from 2, 000 miles away. That’s cowardly” (Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher). He continued by essentially expressing respect for the hijackers, saying “Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, [is] not cowardly” (Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher). Not surprisingly, Maher has been publicly ridiculed since making these statements. Two of the show’s sponsors pulled their advertising, and several local affiliates have taken the show off the air.

n this psychological non-fiction book, Outliers: The Story of Success, by Malcolm Gladwell, he explains several different strategies and methods to achieve success. He is a firm believer in potential and opportunities; and that making the most of those opportunities is what ensures results. He focuses on time and opportunity as being significant in realizing potential, and believes in the motto “practice makes perfect” and refers to the “10,000-Hr Rule," in ensuring mastery of a skill. Gladwell discusses success, and the driving reasons behind why some people are significantly more successful than others. He also explains this by dividing the book into two parts, opportunity and legacy. Opportunity discusses how select people are fortunate enough to be born between the months of January through March, and also includes the idea that those who are already successful will have more opportunities to improve and become even more successful. The 10,000-hour rule proves the idea that in order to become successful in a certain skill, one must have practiced that skill for at least 10,000 hours. In addition to the 10,000-hour rule, timing is also a major component that implies being in the right place at the right time, which brings the author to discuss Bill Gates who was born during the time where programming and computer technology was emerging, therefore sparking his interest in computers, later bringing him to create Microsoft. Another point Gladwell brings forth is the notion

"Spy Jazz - And Other Tales from the Ray Dailey Universe" is a book of humorous action adventure stories about the life of a conservative talk show host. This set of stories is meant to kick off a series of books about this character and a family of related characters. A second book of short stories and a novel set in the same universe are already substantially complete. Most of the stories have a moral lesson that illustrate some theme of conservative thought. However, the setting is the near future where society has become much more liberal and so this conservative talk show host is considered very rightwing even though his actual beliefs are very moderate by our present day standards. As a result, I find that readers from across the left-right

I chose this book in hope that it could help me understand the difference between managing and leading. In addition, I wanted to gain more knowledge and tools to help myself grow as a leader and help develop all of my subordinates that I may have to time throughout my career. The book jacket for this book is ultimately why I decided to read the book because it truly grabbed my attention. I found it interesting that John C. Maxwell is a #1 New York Times bestselling author (Maxwell, 2013). Moreover, the book jacket continued to catch my attention by stating to be more than a boss people are required to follow, you must master the ability to inspire and invest in people (Maxwell, 2013). I particularly found the “invest in people” line most interesting and caused me to want to read and learn more about the authors perspective on leadership.
