EntreLeadership

January 1, 2012
Ramsey ("Financial Peace; The Total Money Makeover"), seminar leader and host of "The Dave Ramsey Show", here draws from his more than two decades of experience to offer tips for starting and growing a business. He defines his invented term "entreleadership" as a form of leadership that incorporates the forward-thinking tendencies of entrepreneurs, causing a venture to prosper. He discusses the typical challenges facing business executives, covering in various chapters mission statements and goals, time management, difficult decisions, marketing, hiring and firing, the philosophy of selling, money and debt management, planning for the future, communicating, contracts and vendors, compensation plans, and delegation. While none of this is new territory, Ramsey offers sound leadership advice that will click with any executive or mid-level manager, and his passion is evident in his folksy, down-to-earth narration. Remarkably, this is a delightful listen. [The Howard hc, published in September, was a "New York Times" best seller.--Ed.]--Dale Farris, Groves, TX
