Female executives of large companies are still in short supply in
the U.S., but they have made great strides in recent years and
their number is growing. Patricia Werhane and her fellow experts in
leadership, ethics, entrepreneurship, and management interviewed
twenty-two prominent women--including executives at Kraft, Boeing,
and Harley Davidson--to uncover their leadership styles, reveal
their most effective practices, and find out how they broke through
the glass ceiling. This celebration of stellar executives
highlights their achievements, the values and visions that guide
them, and the contributions they've made to both their companies
and industries. Now, more than ever, these stories need to be told.
Despite enormous strides in the status of women in business, female
CEOs of Fortune 500 companies can be counted on two hands, and less
than 15 percent of Fortune 500 board seats are held by women. These
daunting statistics, however, belie another phenomenon: The iceberg
of male domination in the boardroom is beginning to break up and
melt. More and more women are assuming positions of real
leadership. And it's none too soon. With the increasing diversity
of the workforce, businesses need the wisdom successful female
executives can offer. To encourage more women to step up to the
plate, this book tells many stories of perseverance and
inventiveness. But it digs deeper to reveal common qualities and
characteristics that reflect a style of leadership that is in stark
contrast--in every major dimension, from communication styles to
team building to crisis management--to the traditional, white-male
model that has dominated practice, theory, and management
education. While men tend to betransactional leaders, the women
profiled in this book are nothing less than inspiring,
transformational leaders. Interviewees include, among others: *Anne
Arvia, CEO, ShoreBank *Margaret Blackshere, President, Illinois
AFL-CIO *Cathy Calhoun, President, Weber Shandwick--Chicago *Ellen
Carnahan, Managing Director, William Blair Capital Partners
*Deborah L. DeHaas, Managing Partner, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu
*Sondra Healy, Co-Chairman, Turtle Wax *Barbara Provus, Principal
and Founder, Shepherd Bueschel & Provus, Inc. *M. Martha Ries,
Vice President, Ethics & Business Conduct, The Boeing Company
*Desiree Rogers, President, Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas *Paula
Sneed, Executive Vice President, Global Marketing Resources &
Initiatives, Kraft Foods, Inc. *Donna Zarcone, President and Chief
Operating Officer, Harley Davidson Financial Services The result is
an incisive, engaging, thought-provoking, and ultimately empowering
narrative that will serve as a guide for women now entering,
progressing, and leading in the workplace--as well as the men with
whom they work.
Dreams come and go but their impressions Last forever. So I had no
choice but to set down these words. No titles, no conformity. Just
the feelings left by those very dreams. Cover Design: Julie

Gavin Bloom and Alex Moore run an online magazine for an adult
market; although each insists it has to be within the limits of not
only the law but to their sense of decency. Gavin is on the edge of
developing a revolutionary turn for that very magazine, a programme
that will no doubt secure the business, maybe forever. Amidst the
excitement and enjoyment of its success, however, is the mysterious
and heinous murder of one of their own. Who can have done it? And
why? And who is the woman fastened by a chain to a wall? Follow the
twists and turns and perhaps you can solve the puzzle before they
do. Warning: some strong language, violence and scenes of a sexual
nature.

Anne Blake, psychiatrist, is good at her job and believes that even
the most sick at heart can be cured...or at least saved enough that
they can lead a better life. But maybe she's wrong? Maybe within a
murderer's heart, evil lurks and nothing can be done except to save
yourself? Cover Design: Julie Elizabeth Powell
Twelve-year-old Jack knows they shouldn't go but is unable to
persuade his parents not to take the planned trip to the Lake
District. Something was going to happen but what? The weird
feelings he had were always so fuzzy and they didn't always make
sense. Maybe it was just because he'd have to spend time with his
pampered cousin, Rosie? Anyway, it was nearly Christmas and what
could go wrong with just staying in some cabin in the woods? He was
being stupid...all he had to do was ignore the way his belly
churned and his head pounded. He might be wrong after all. Cover
