Out Of Brokenness

Praise for&#160;The Late Great Wizard&ldquo;Wizards, field hockey, and tea! The Late Great Wizard is a delightful fantasy romp, with enough edge to keep me gasping. Can&rsquo;t wait for more!&rdquo; &mdash;Julie E.

The Late Great Wizard

"Leadership Mindsets is clearly well written and well structured, interspersed with stories from the field. The authors suggest that this book is for new and experienced, formal and informal leaders. It would also serve well as a text in graduate leadership programs."—Harry Janzen, Education Canada (Winter 2009-2010), Vol. 50, No. 1: 27

Leadership Mindsets

Expert Insights gained from years of successful experience make “Skin in the Game” the absolute go-to resource for middle-market PE firms, C-suite executives and others looking for the right fit, the right partnership and the right investment.~Gary A. LaBranche, President & CEO, Association for Corporate GrowthMetapoint Partners has had a relationship with Jim Gilreath for more than 17 years. We have never experienced anyone who does a more thorough and complete evaluation of candidates. Gilreath Consultancy has handled 24 searches for Metapoint Partners. We are happy to recommend his services without reservation.~Keith C. Shaughnessy, President & CEO Metapoint PartnersIn all my years of corporate consulting, I have yet to meet an executive search professional with greater integrity, diligence, or expertise than Jim Gilreath. Jim understands that every new hire ultimately contributes either to moving a business forward or holding it back. We’ve collaborated successfully in a number of critical hiring situations for companies whose prior selection errors had been costly. Combining Jim’s careful, exhaustive search discipline with expert psychological assessment technology, we were able to hire ‘by design’ rather than by chemistry’.~David Pellegrini, Ph.D., principal The Global Consulting PartnershipGilreath Consultancy has many years experience in matching up high-performance individuals with high-performance opportunities. Jim’s process is extremely thorough for both the client and the prospective candidates. It ensures that the clients understand the candidates, the candidates understand the opportunity and both know what is required for success. I know because I am a satisfied hired candidate.~Gregory J. Biederman, former President and CEO Nylon Corporation of AmericaJim Gilreath’s tenacity in pursuing candidates, the thoroughness of your reference and work experience checks, and your patience in seeking out only the most qualified candidates separates you from the other retained search firms with whom I have worked.~Peter Bransfield, former President, Altair Avionics CorpThe strength of a Gilreath Consultancy search is in the defined process they use to assure a good match between the private equity company’s desires, the portfolio company’s needs, and the candidate. As a placed CEO, Jim did an excellent job in making sure that my experiences and professional strengths were the right matches for Roscoe Medical. He did this through a variety of steps that included traditional, but detailed, “search” measures (e.g. references) as well as ones that seem to be unique to Gilreath Consultancy. While unique, they were valuable in completing the match between Roscoe and me.~Paul J. Guth, President & CEO, Roscoe Medical, Inc.Jim Gilreath sets a very high benchmark for retained recruiters hiring C-level executives. I learned this as a candidate when I was hired as CEO by one of his private equity clients. Jim works to know the human being behind the titles and marketing. In his process of revealing me from youth, through the formative years and education; to reasons behind career choices and decisions; we both learned a lot about me. He is a consummate professional and a pleasure with whom to work.~Bob McKinley, former CEO & President, Sidump’r Trailer CompanyI have been through the Gilreath due diligence process twice. The thoroughness of the process impressed me as a candidate. Doing the biography that Jim calls the “Indiana Jones” provided me with an opportunity to summarize my career in the most advantageous light; answering the detailed questionnaire Jim put together about the position I was being considered for was a great help in preparing for the in-person interview. Several of my references commented about how in-depth the reference checking process was (the most in-depth that any of that had ever encountered). From the candidate’s perspective, this meant that there would be no surprises; allowing you to concentrate on preparing for the interview process.~Wayne D. Pedlar, former General Manager Tower Industries, Inc.As a CEO hire and beneficiary of Gilreath Consultancy services. I have never participated in a more comprehensive or thorough vetting process. At the end of the day, both the candidate and company will have all the information necessary to make an informed decision.~Timothy L. Friedel, President & CEO, Stone Panels, Inc.In the future, I won’t hesitate to call as rarely have I been so impressed with the thoroughness and quality of work from an outside consultant. Once again, thanks for a job well done. I can’t believe that I actually did hire the first guy that I spoke to.~Larry J. Franklin, President Franklin Sports

A conversation starter for preschoolers.Dog and Rabbit are fine on their own, but they each want a friend. Pleasantly square pages contain softly edged illustrations mostly separated by negative space, emphasizing the emotional and physical distance between the animals. Chunky, black, handwriting-inspired type contrasts with the negative space and balances the gentle blues, greens, and browns that make up the bulk of the color palette. Brown, floppy-eared Dog eventually notices Rabbit and wishes for friendship, but gray Rabbit is fixated on what he believes is a bunny inside Dog's house. Even as Dog is thinking about Rabbit on one of the rare double-page spreads, Rabbit looks up at the same evening moon thinking about the unreachable bunny. But once Rabbit wanders into Dog's house to discover that the bunny is a refrigerator magnet, the pair quickly settles into an amicable friendship. The duo's contentment is fortunate, for no other potential matches seem to exist save for a few fleeting glimpses of a red bird. The colors, sparse illustrations, and predictable plot make this a satisfactory beginning book about friendship for young children. Grown-up readers may go down rabbit holes of their own, wondering whether Rabbit is settling for Dog and about the merits of waiting around for others to arrive at their own realizations. An odd-couple friendship story with a focus on perception and patience.&mdash;Kirkus Reviews

"[The twelve chapters] go well beyond the issue, draw visions about the protection and future repartition of natural resources and they offer idealistic strategies for a new hemispheric policy . . .Those who are looking for alterantive perspectives and recommendations of resistance against U.S. American economic and political strategies as well as the consequences of globalization will find the volume helpful and inspiring." - Iberoamericana  "A unique, valuable contribution to the literature on U.S. foreign policy toward Latin America and inter-American relations." - Pedro Monreal, Senior Research Associate, Universidade Federal da Bahia, Brazil  "This important book deals with various aspects of the Bush administration's unhappy efforts to deal with myriad problems in Latin America. Examining the 'aggressive unilateralism' of the current administration's policy, the authors analyze Bush's stance of preventive war, unfounded military attacks, and the U.S.'s disregard of its traditional allies and international law in its attempts of 'military and political dominance over the world.' No wonder that U.S. policies are increasingly rejected in Latin America and that the image of the U.S., under Bush, has reached an all-time low." - Wayne S. Smith, Senior Fellow, Center for International Policy, Washington, D.C."The volume belongs in all college and university libraries with significant holdings in Latin American affairs... Recommended." - CHOICE
