Running Things: The Art of Making Things Happen by Philip Crosby

Although some people are natural leaders, the art of leadership can be learned by anyone willing to work at it. This is the premise of Crosby's latest book, and he sets forth his ideas in entertaining and informative fashion. Crosby demonstrates that things can be made to happen (goals can be reached and projects made successful) in a wide variety of settings. He makes liberal use of anecdotes, case studies, and fables that vividly illustrate the steps people should take when they are in charge and must achieve goals. Leaders in cultural, religious, charitable, and social organizations will benefit from Crosby's commonsense approach to taking charge. Managers of businesses, small or large, will dramatically improve their ability to run things effectively and efficiently. Everybody in charge of groups of people united in a cause, a project, or any common goal can learn exactly what to do to make things happen and accomplish their desired objectives.
