MERATHON is part memoire, part social psychology, part science fiction. MERATHON explores the causes and impact of the December 2001 collapse of ENRON, the once-powerful Fortune 7 energy and commodities-trading company. MERATHON runs through unemployment and the grief cycle, leadership, and the philosophies of Quality - with marathons as both metaphor and therapy. MERATHON is a resource for the unemployed, the entrepreneur, the MBA student, and men and women in leadership positions in any industry.

TESTED BY FIRE presents the arts, sciences and intuition of backyard grilling as a metaphor for instructing new leaders in any industry. Combining theory and real-world experience from 40 combined years in military leadership, industrial training, organizational psychology and backyard grilling, the author presents 13 fundamental, thought-provoking scenarios for middle and senior leaders who own the responsibility for training and educating their organization's next generation of leaders. Examples include tales from the combat zone of Anbar Province in Iraq to life post-ENRON; comparing Santa Claus and jihad; and managing the challenges inherent in The 2nd Law of Social Thermodynamics - wrapped around the arts and sciences of spare ribs, potato salad, beer can chicken, the perfect seafood buffet on the grill...and many more. It looks like a cookbook, reads like an essay in Leadership.
