THE BEST TAKE ON WHAT CORRELATES WITH SUCCES Most Helpful Customer Reviews 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful By L. Jolly on February 23, 2004 Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase Cox wrote this great little book well before "The 7 Habits" became the 80's Guide to moral- and habit-correlates that are associated with making it in life. Cox studied a lot of successful, achieving people, looked for common traits--and found somewhat different ones than Covey celebrated in "The 7 Habits." Some of that difference comes from the "eye of the beholder" effect. Covey is principle-driven; Cox is more secular. Anyway, this is a great counterpoint-read for someone who got useful things from "7 Habits," and deepens the experience of that book signficantly. Also, the book has entirely original insights that are worth the read if you are looking to see either 1) how to make your life work better or 2) how to find your way to satisfaction. Cox has some entirely different and VERY useful thoughts that are bang-on; you'll recognize 'em, both the good and the bad, in yourself and in others. Timing is everything; if Cox had written this a few years later and had had Covey's contacts, this might have been the billion-seller and Covey's book would be in remainders. Highly recommended!

( Survival of the Fittest Today Requires SOUL and PURPOSE...)
Survival of the Fittest Today Requires SOUL and PURPOSE Redefining Corporate Soul is not about start-up, or crafting yet another "identity program, " or deciding to become something or somebody new. This book's clear message is about rediscovering who you are and what you do best, and repairing the broken connections between people, people and the organization, and people and purpose. Redefining Corporate Soul reminds you that just as you had dreams and passions that helped you arrive where you are today, so did your organization. If that mission, that drive, becomes blurred over the years, then lethargy sets in, people stop caring, and the organization drifts. In powerful, direct language, Allan Cox points out where to make the vital changes that will lead to a corporation - and a workforce - that is once more resonating with purpose and soul.

First Book Written on the Executive Search Profession and Finishes with a Wallop! In this book, with the same skepticism he brings to his work, Allan Cox passes on what he has learned about how to make it-in the modern business world. He tells executive candidates how to impress management, and he tells management what to look for(and what to ignore) in prospective executives. He uses telling anecdotes to describe the thousand natural shocks that companies are heir to, and he prescribes remedies. And finally, he draws a thought-provoking picture of corporations to come, as America's technocratic society approaches a time of moral and ecological crisis.
