Description: A collectors' item for a variety of reasons. This is the first edition of George Shinn's LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT textbook. Yes, that's George Shinn, the icon of rags-to-riches success in America. George grew up in a culturally and economically disadvantaged environment, but through hard work and smart decision making and modeling, he became (and is, today) a multimillionaire sports magnate, philanthropist, and businessman. George was the first owner of the NBAs Charlotte Hornets. In this book he shares his secrets for success, written in an engaging, easy to read, and easy to apply style. To write the book, George bought the rights to the extremely successful midcentury courses "Junior Executive" and "The Nancy Taylor Course", brought the content up to 1980 standards, and added new topics. (Some of the contents are dated today, but an astonishing lot still holds true and is an excellent resource for the young person grooming for executive, personal, and business success. It covers an astonishing range of topics, including but not limited to etiquette, dress for success, positive thinking, memory improvement, weight management, and goal setting. The book is illustrated and contains lots of charts, lists, and self-directed activities, so it's easy and fun to follow but does not condescend. Its 305 pages of content are suitable for adult and technical education, as well as vocational school students. Even mature high school students who want to be "the best they can be" will benefit. This 1st edition was published in 1981 by McGraw-Hill. This textbook is a valuable resource for individuals looking to advance their careers and enhance their personality psychology. But its also a coveted historical item from the storied career of George Shinn.
