"Good leaders are intense; real good leaders are passionate; but great leaders are predators when it comes to winning on the battlefield, the gridiron, or in the workplace." Jim Benson "Winners create their own destiny by their proactivity while losers suffer a fate by their reactivity." Jim Benson "Intricate and complex are recipes for failure in organizational planning." Jim Benson "You can, you will, you must succeed." Coach Ray Bussard Through the years, I have been intrigued by the consistent success of some leaders. Why are some people successful leaders within the organization while others, with superior intellect and academic credentials, are less successful or blatantly unsuccessful? Why are others quite successful in one position or assignment, but, when promoted, fail miserably? Why are there great assistant coaches in the college and professional athletic ranks who simply cannot win once they assume the role of head coach? Much of the narrative herein deals with personal experience and observations in over 26 years as an officer of the U.S. Marines, but I also call on experience, observations, and readings in the fields of business, academics, higher education, and athletics. The ideas and principles here are just as applicable to the small business entrepreneur, corporate CEO, or Baptist minister as to the young U.S. Army lieutenant or high school basketball coach.

"Reading should be proactive. And in one's writings, one ought always strive to encourage this proactivity in the reader. Much like a coach, or a fan, cheering a player on to greater and greater feats- only in literature, the field-of-play is a book of poetry, or prose, or as in this case- haiku." -Jon Seymour In his first ever commercial work, Jon Seymour has done just that- enticing the reader with his Haiku-inspired musings on myriad things, both universal and unique to our time. A stimulating and truly enjoyable read- you're likely to find yourself referencing these triplets in your everyday conversations. No cranes, cherry blossoms or lotus leaves here- just the everyday subject matter which people vexed over hundreds (if not thousands) of years ago... and continue to do so, to this very day. With more than a few thoughts on items unique to our epoch. This universal appeal with a modern twist, will make it difficult for you to put Haiku down once you've started reading it. A page-turner, if ever there was one!
