BAKER, PH.D. LEADING WITH KINDNESS: HOW GOOD PEOPLE CONSISTENTLY GET SUPERIOR RESULTS Just Books 28 Arcadia Road, Old Greenwich, CT Free and Open to the Public Just Books is pleased to welcome Greenwich and New York City resident and author William F. Baker, Ph.D., as he visits Just Books to sign copies of his newest book Leading with Kindness: How Good People Consistently Get Superior Results (Amacom; $24.95). Bill Baker experienced leading with kindness firsthand during his 20 years at the helm of Educational Broadcasting Corp., parent company of WNET-TV (Channel Thirteen) and WLIW-TV (Channel 21). It inspired him to affirm and refine his notion of what honorable bosses can accomplish. With his friend Michael O'Malley, Ph.D., Baker did extensive research and interviewed dozens of leaders in diverse organizations. They share their insights into strong, effective leadership in Leading with Kindness: How Good People Consistently Get Superior Results. Today, many leaders have realized that when it comes to business, nice guys often finish first. Old-fashioned images of corporate callousness and greed have been replaced by a gentler, more human conception of great leadership. But how does one define "kindness" in the context of business? And what is the best way to "use" this deceptively complex notion as a guiding principle to lead an organization successfully into the future? _____________________________________________________ Author Event & Book Signing WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 7:00 PM SUZANNE BRAUN LEVINE FIFTY IS THE NEW FIFTY: TEN LIFE LESSONS FOR WOMEN IN SECOND ADULTHOOD Westport Library 20 Jessup Road, Westport, CT Call 203-291-4800 for additional information Just Books and the Westport Library, along with The Transition Network, are pleased to welcome acclaimed author and a founding editor of Ms. magazine, Suzanne Braun Levine, who will explore the unexpected rewards of women experiencing their second adulthood with her new book, Fifty is the New Fifty: Ten Life Lessons for Women in Second Adulthood (Viking; $25.95).
