At the time, in 1978, when The Cars That Henry Ford Built was first published, sending a copy for Henry Ford II to review seemed a vain request·Automobile Quarterly founding editor and publisher L. Scott Bailey was told that Mr. Ford (never comments on a book written about Ford.÷ Two weeks later came an unexpected exhortation from Henry Ford II: (My grandfather would have loved this book.÷ Ford then specially ordered 20 copies bound in white leather·needed in two weeks. The rush order was necessitated by an upcoming trip to Japan. As is culturally customary to offer a gift that honors one's ancestors, Henry Ford II specifically chose The Cars That Henry Ford Built to give to his Japanese hosts. Such high-level praise is derived from the book's fresh approach to the subject of Henry Ford, both in its study of the man and his cars, as well as the exceptional pictorial presentation. Presented for the first time in full color, there is every model Henry Ford produced from the Quadricycle he put together as a young man in 1896 to the famous V8 Ford on the production lines four and a half decades later during his failing years. Probably no other individual in automobile history more accurately mirrored in his cars his view of himself and of America as he saw it. Join award-winning historian and author Beverly Rae Kimes as she presents lively historical text that captures Henry growing and aging as his cars grew and aged, each lock-stepped together through history. Over 100 full-color photographs further bring the man and his creations to life.

Kissinger's six leaders are Konrad Adenauer, Charles de Gaulle, Richard Nixon, Anwar Sadat, Lee Kuan Yew, and Margaret Thatcher. All of them were formed in a period when established institutions collapsed all over Europe, colonial structures gave way to independent states in Asia and Africa, and a new international order had to be created from the vestiges of the old. Kissinger penetratingly analyses each of these leaders' careers through the highly individual strategies of statecraft which he presents them as embodying, to show how it is the combination of character and circumstance which creates history. Kissinger's public experience, personal knowledge and historical perceptions enrich the book with insights and judgements such as only he could make.

Each life a legacy - lead on purpose! Idea-rich strategies for 'serious' leaders "Our life and work are a portrait of who we are - autograph them both with style!" Anonymous The tapestry of our lives is inter-woven with the lives and enriched with the ideas of those we connect with daily. Whether we realize it or not, our life leaves a legacy. The stories of our leadership, and activities become a living legend. "People will talk about you - why not give them something positive to say?" Bob Hooey People we know, work, or live with, have a lasting impression based on their personal experience with us. Why is it then that we wait until they are gone or have moved on to acknowledge the important people in our life? Life is a continuous choice... choose wisely! I have lived in the country north-east of Edmonton, Alberta for 23 years now. It is a quiet, rustic, creative type of life; a place for me to write and prepare as I still travel to present around the world. Driving the rural roads, I see dilapidated, boarded-up buildings, vacant stores, gas stations, and shops that once housed thriving businesses, stores, entrepreneurial dreams that profitably served their communities and customers. I wonder, what happened? - Did the business thrive and move to a better location? Did they neglect their clients? Did the market leave them behind? - Did it miss the changes in client needs and slowly die? - Did their competition do a better job? - Did they fall behind in technology? Service? Products? - Did their clients desert them? What makes the difference? I see thriving, prosperous businesses, in attractive, well-lit buildings; well-stocked and open for business to profitably serve both their clients and their communities. What legacy is being told of you and your team every day? When you're done, what leadership legacy would you like to leave behind? What are they saying about you right now? What picture would you like your team, your clients, and the community to see and remember about your contributions and work? What would be the ultimate comment or testimonial on your life and contributions in pioneering and living life as an adventure? Why not leave a lasting legacy; a history of strong dynamic leadership that has contributed in a positive way? A legacy of leadership that has engaged, inspired, challenged, and cared for the many you led. Once we understand that we do leave a legacy of leadership behind, we can make a conscious choice to ensure it is a positive one. We can choose to invest our time, resources, and energies in those activities and organizations that create lasting value; as well as in the lives of those we love and respect. As 'serious' leaders we have that opportunity to invest in the lives and success of those we lead. This investment can leave a lasting legacy in their lives and the lives of those they touch.

Written for college leaders at all levels as well as for trustees, this book engages the reader, via narrative and analysis, with the reflective and the practical knowledge essential to a constructive legacy. Leaders of colleges and universities hold in trust an enterprise of complex mission, governance, and outcome. Most will take office with accompanying media celebration of their past records and future promise. Each will exit with a legacy. A few will leave behind tragic legacies of defeated spirits, corrupted organizations, and shameful ethical records. In Leadership Legacy Moments, the author reflects upon the ideas, skills, and values that are essential to effective leadership so that a leader leaves behind a student body with great promise, a set of accomplishments achieved in concert with faculty and staff, and an institutional culture that inspires curiosity, courage, and compassion. Professor Bogue illustrates how ideas and values are linked in the stewardship of one of our nation's premier organizational enterprises. The book is about constructing a leadership legacy that is both effective and ethical.
