Simple Italian Snacks Cookbook

Image

Review
The authors of Simple Italian Sandwiches have returned to print with more panini, alongside a variety of small plates including bruschette, salads, spiedini (skewers) and pizzas. Quality ingredients and simple preparation are the basis for the 80-plus recipes, designed for entertaining or easily grouped together for casual mid-day and evening meals. Organized by occasion, chapters such as World Cup Final and Backyard Bocce Tournament may not have significance for many American home cooks, but nevertheless ground the spirit of the book, which include delicious musts such as the classic dish of arancini (rice balls), stuffed fried zucchini flowers, sliced skirt steak panini, and sweet pea bruschetta with mint and pecorino. Headnotes are filled with pertinent information on ingredients and serving suggestions, and paired cocktail recipes make nice additions. Its handy trim size and well-shot, full-page color photos make this an appealing gift title, ideal for housewarming
- Publishers Weekly

Libraries that find Italian cookbooks a popular lend will also welcome the more specific SIMPLE ITALIAN SNACKS: MORE RECIPES FROM AMERICA'S FAVORITE PANINI BAR. 80 recipes for small snack plates range from Fig-Stuffed Lamb Chops to Sweet Corn Bruschetta, Stuffed Fried Zucchini Flowers, and more. An excellent guide for any collection already strong in general Italian cookbooks, who want more.

Stanford Business Books | 2010 | ISBN: 0804763429, 0804774676 | 232 pages | PDF
Leading Culture Change: What Every CEO Needs To Know is a practical guide for top leaders who are faced with the challenge of shaping their culture to create long term, sustainable value. Culture is changeable—but only with CEO sponsorship and a methodical, best practices approach.

Author Christopher S. Dawson draws on 25 years of experience as an organizational consultant in a variety of industries to delineate five critical success factors, without which culture change is unlikely to occur. He offers practical tools and approaches to facilitate culture change, in addition to an overall framework that acts as a yardstick for seasoned and new top leaders. The book pres a "red-yellow-green" level of urgency tool for determining the degree of organizational effort required to address the gap between strategy and culture; a roadmap for culture change; and more.

After describing how to effect change, the text describes frequent scenarios, pring guidelines, an in-depth case example, and lessons for top leaders. Finally, the book outlines four essential leadership competencies—dual-horizon vision; self-awareness; team leadership; and source of inspiration—based on the requirements for leaders of any transformation.

This book is an ideal guide for today and tomorrow's top leaders—as well as a valuable supplement to management consultants' and human resource executives' professional training.

The Leaderful Fieldbook: Strategies and Activities for Developing Leadership in Everyone

Image

Nicholas Brealey Publishing | 2010 | ISBN: 0891063803, 0891063889 | 224 pages | PDF
The Global Economy--the flattened networked world--demands a new type of leadership: one that is collective and collaborative, where solutions and vision are co-created by everyone. Although generously depicted in the author's Creating Leaderful Organizations, the practical application of collective leadership remains a mystery to many practicing executives and managers.

It is evident that the development of leaderful organizations cannot happen overnight; in fact, we need agents to emerge to help us learn how to change longstanding regressive organizational cultures into more leaderful communities. When we say "leaderful," we refer to leadership practices that are collective and concurrent - people can serve as leaders all together and at the same time.

This fieldbook is designed for these change agents - coaches, facilitators, OD consultants, and weavers - wishing to embark with their clients on a leaderful journey across a range of levels - from individual to network - and adopting a style of collective engagement that matches the democratic processes that they are seeking to produce. The Leaderful Fieldbook presents the most practical of recommendations in the form of an array of exercises that can be adopted immediately across these multiple levels of experience. It also features a set of cases that demonstrate the use of the exercises in each of these levels - individual, interpersonal, team, organizational, and social network.
