ASIN: 0471735124 |
Book Description
What do you get when you cross a journalist and a banker? A brewery, of course. "A great city should have great beer. New York finally has, thanks to Brooklyn. Steve Hindy and Tom Potter provided it. Beer School explains how they did it: their mistakes as well as their triumphs. Steve writes with a journalist's skepticism-as though he has forgotten that he is reporting on himself. Tom is even less forgiving-he's a banker, after all. The inside story reads at times like a cautionary tale, but it is an account of a great and welcome achievement."
—Michael Jackson, The Beer Hunter(r)
"An accessible and insightful case study with terrific insight for aspiring entrepreneurs. And if that's not enough, it is all about beer!"
—Professor Murray Low, Executive Director, Lang Center for Entrepreneurship, Columbia Business School
"Great lessons on what every first-time entrepreneur will experience. Being down the block from the Brooklyn Brewery, I had firsthand witness to their positive impact on our community. I give Steve and Tom's book an A++!"
—Norm Brodsky, Senior Contributing Editor, Inc. magazine
"Beer School is a useful and entertaining book. In essence, this is the story of starting a beer business from scratch in New York City. The product is one readers can relate to, and the market is as tough as they get. What a fun challenge! The book can help not only those entrepreneurs who are starting a business but also those trying to grow one once it is established. Steve and Tom write with enthusiasm and insight about building their business. It is clear that they learned a lot along the way. Readers can learn from these lessons too."
—Michael Preston, Adjunct Professor, Lang Center for Entrepreneurship, Columbia Business School, and coauthor, The Road to Success: How to Manage Growth
"Although we (thankfully!) never had to deal with the Mob, being held up at gunpoint, or having our beer and equipment ripped off, we definitely identified with the challenges faced in those early days of cobbling a brewery together. The revealing story Steve and Tom tell about two partners entering a business out of passion, in an industry they knew little about, being seriously undercapitalized, with an overly naive business plan, and their ultimate success, is an inspiring tale."
—Ken Grossman, founder, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.

The Wisdom of Wolves : Nature's Way to Organizational Success(revised)
Twyman L. Towery Manufacturer: Wessex House Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 0964687208 |
Product Description
In this book, the first of a series, Dr. Towery responds to the resurgence of respect for the wisdom of the natural world with a guide to assist people today in meeting one of their greatest challenges: to find a balance between work, family and personal living. With the modern-day emphasis on leadership and the growth of family values, it is not always easy to remember that the strength of the wolf is the pack, and the strength of the pack is the wolf. This book will remind even the most corporate-minded that individual growth and potential lead to the strength of the organization, and that the strength of the organization leads to the strength of the individual. You will be inspired and motivated by well-researched stories depicting the fascinating organizational life of the majestic wolf pack...all woven together in a unique combination of poignant quotes, personal anecdotes, organizational examples and provocative questions. Lessons from nature s way illuminate timeless principles in each of the following chapters: Teamwork, Patience, Unity through uniqueness, Curiosity, Attitude, Failure, Communication, Perseverance, Strategy, Play, Death and survival, Loyalty and Change. This book reveals fundamental truths through unique stories that are not only fun to read but also serve as powerful metaphors for the human spirit through wolf tales and metaphors. The strength of the wolf pack, like any working group, lies in each member's ability to play a special role in harmony with the rest of the organization. The Wisdom of Wolves: Nature's Way to Organizational Success explains some of the crucial elements of any successful business or organization, such as teamwork, communication, perseverance and attitude.Customer Reviews:
Management Ideas .......2007-01-21
if only we were like wolves..........2002-10-17
The Wisdom of Wolves, is Towery's theory of natures way to organizational success. He does it well. THe book is broken up into roughly 20 short chapters. Some chapters are Patience, Failure, Strategy, Play, Loyalty, and Communication. By using the wolf as a metaphor for our lives and organizational behaviour, you and I will not only learn valuable principles but also have a great time in the process. The lessons of the wolf pack visually demonstrate a management philosophy that every organization should want to foster among its members.
I was inspired and really did for the first time, look upon the wolf as more than just someone who red riding hood met. Enjoy the read - it really is a classic!
not just any old management book... a lot of uniqueness here.......2002-10-15
We are faced with some 20 chapters, but each chapter is about 2 pages each. But then again, that is all that is needed I think. Patience, Curiosty, Strategy, Loyalty, Teamwork and Attitude, are just some of the topics Towery is addressing. Nice general topics of management, and organizational success - that will help you out if you are looking for an introduction to it all.
By using the wolf as a metaphor for our lives, and organizational behaviour, people not only learn valuable principles, but also have a great time in the process. The lessons of the wolf pack visually demonstrate a management philosophy that an organization should want to foster among its members.
I loved it! Happy Reading!
Great team building insights.......2002-10-11
Better think again.
May be we are too intelligent, or may be we just think we do or we just think too much...
From the author Twyman L. Ph.D. Towery's years of study, there's a lot actually we can learn back from the wolves of how to live and work together more in harmony.
Especially when we apply the insights to the business world. The wisdom of wolves will definitely serve as an extremely useful guide.
The book is written in a very simple format and it's really interesting and easy to read. But the impression it leaves behind for sure will stay forever.
Outstanding guide for personal and professional growth.......1998-08-16
