"Questions to Bring You Closer to Dad"

Your Marketing Sucks: Mark Stevens' Marketing Manifesto 1. Stop thinking that marketing has to be creative. It has to sell goods and services. 2. If your advertising agency submits its work for Clio Awards, fire them. 3. Talk to the sales people first and then work your way back to strategy. They'll tell you what works and doesn't. 4. Halt every marketing initiative you are paying for and re-think what you're spending and why you're spending it. If they don't generate results, kill them. 5. Next time someone tells you to build your company's 'mind share/buzz,' tell him a sucker is born everyday. 6. Every time you think about spending any money at all on marketing, ask yourself, 'Will this grow my business?' 7. Get an infomercial MBA. 8. Stop engaging in marketing that sucks.

Your Management Sucks: Mark Stevens' Management Manifesto: 1. Forget about Consensus Building 2. Reject Conventional Wisdom. 3. Forget about Team Building. Develop ideas and have the team do the work. 4. Never accept No for an answer. 5. Leaders need: Serial Skepticism, Cartoon Imagination and Monster Ambition. 6. Liberate yourself from the shackles of what others think. 7. You need a Killer App. It is your differentiator. 8. Leaders fail due to: Complacency, Deception, Fear of a Bad Day and Failure to Act. 9. Strong leaders establish a compass for their people and the motivation to exceed goals. 10. Get out of the office and take a hike. Declare War on everything you do that is fine, good and mediocre. Unless it's great, it sucks.

GLOBAL SENSE: Awakening Your Power to Change Our World

Global Sense by Judah Freed is an award-winning book that reveals how our global connectivity empowers us to change the world by changing ourselves. A central theme in the book is the need for us men to liberate ourselves from the cultural legacy of "alpha male rule." Instead of suffering early deaths from a compulsive need to wage wars, perform risky jobs and repress our feelings -- all to vainly prove our manhood -- we men are evolving a new form of self worth. We can connect from our hearts more than our heads. We can let go of needing to control others to feel powerful. We can model strength through compassion, because a peaceful man is a powerful man. Whether you are a son, a daughter, a wife, or a girlfriend, if you want the man in your life to be more emotionally present and more true to himself, then you owe it to him and yourself to give him a copy of Global Sense .
