It's one thing to come up with a good business idea, and quite another to marshal the people, money, and other resources entrepreneurs need to make the dream a successful reality. That's why most businesses fail within the first two years. The Entrepreneur's Guide to Successful Leadership helps budding moguls make it out of the toddler phase of entrepreneurship and into adolescence and adulthood with confidence. A concise and practical guide to leading smaller enterprises, the book is based on a proven, nine-step model of effective leadership developed by Dan Goldberg—the founder of the For Eyes optical chain—and entrepreneur and educator Don Martin. Step by step, readers learn what real leadership looks like and how to lead and grow the successful enterprise.Creating a vibrant business starts with understanding who you are, say the authors, and then coming up with a vision, mission, and strategy. That's the easy part. The hard part is to execute the strategy in line with your dreams, while using effective, ethical tactics to establish the business and prosper. Seasoned hands, the authors make that job easier, while helping entrepreneurs understand what makes employees tick and helping them become their productive best. The hard work not only gets easier, say the authors—it pays off as entrepreneurs watch their fledgling businesses take graceful flight. This book is a treasure chest that provides key insights and methods in the form of real-life stories, humor, strategies, techniques, exercises, checklists, templates, and other resources. Each illustrates in a unique way how good leaders achieve powerful results. Many books on leadership are gimmicky. The Entrepreneur's Guide to Successful Leadership focuses—in clear, simple, and direct terms—on the essential fundamentals, the blocking and tackling, required for business success.

The courageous story of the 13 black men who integrated the officer corps of the United States Navy -serving as forerunners of the civil rights movement and shaping the future of the military.Dan Goldberg restores these forgotten heroes as major influential figures whose actions not only paved the way for an integrated military, but also set the stage for integration across America: soon, black men would integrate baseball and black children would integrate schools. Despite the immense challenges they faced, The Golden Thirteen persisted - understanding the power of desegregation, the opportunities for black Americans if they succeeded, and the consequences if they failed.Goldberg brings to light the opposition these men faced in becoming officers, including racist pseudo-science, regional prejudices, verbal abuse, and violence. They trained harder than they ever had in their lives, and ultimately passed their exams with the highest average of any class in Navy history. In March 1944, these sailors were commissioned officers in the United States Navy; the first black men to wear the gold stripes. However, the official executive order to desegregate the military did not come until 1948 - for four years, these men continued to endure daily humiliation even as officers: white men refused to salute them, refused to eat at their table, and refused to accept that black men could be superior to them in rank. These thirteen men, each from vastly different backgrounds, banded together - never losing sight of how their lives could shape history.Through previously unpublished oral histories and original interviews with surviving family members, Goldberg brings these forgotten heroes away from the margins of history and into the spotlight.
