Could it be that triumphant leaders follow an unarticulated methodology of sorts for translating hope, the virtue, into hope, the plan? If so, can it be learned? It appears the answer is yes." —Andrew Razeghi Whether organizations face uncertainty or meet the challenge of the constant pressure to innovate, leaders must dig deep to keep their focus and stay effective. In this landmark book, Andrew Razeghi isolates the critical factor that is at the core of successful leadership in any climate. Hope is based on research from neuroscience and behavioral psychology and interwoven with real-world stories of entrepreneurs, elite athletes, political leaders, and groundbreaking scientists. Razeghi shows that hope is a proven tool for competitive advantage and clearly demonstrates how it can be nurtured and developed. Throughout the book, he outlines a proven strategy for honing leadership skills and shows how to apply this strategy to individuals, teams, and organizations. Filled with illustrative stories, this book shows how hope guided historic figures such as Adolph Ochs, Walt Disney, Ernest Shackleton, and Thomas Edison as well as modern?day luminaries including Charles Schwab, Marshall Nirenberg, Deepak Chopra, the Dalai Lama, and others. Razeghi offers today's mindful leaders a strategy they can learn, practice, and utilize, one that will give them a hopeful edge and propel them and their organizations forward. Offering insightful questions to ponder and practical exercises, he outlines principles that transform hope into an actionable and tangible tool.? No matter what your area of interest—business, politics, science, sports, art, religion, exploration, or philanthropy—Hope offers you a down-to-earth guide.

Front endpaper and half-title page too tight at gutter.Light fade at top edge of spine of book. Unclipped dust jacket has small crease on rear panel. First printing, William Morrow & Co, 1980, 3.5, New York, N.Y.: Harper & Row, Publishers, 1977. First Edition (stated). Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Jim Kalett (Jacket photograph). [10], 276, [2] pages. DJ has slight wear, soiling, and flap creases. This story encompasses California theatre in its heyday, the movies in the silent days and now, the San Francisco earthquake and fire, as well as both world wars. As the journal entries continue to the present, the drama builds to its powerful climax. Only a man who has conducted a shameless, passionate, brazen, lifetime love affair with the theatre and the movies could have produced this spellbinding, glamorous, tantalizing, enthralling, human story. The portrait is complete. John J. Tumulty stands revealed in all his fascinating complexity. One Hell of an Actor is a triumphant blend of fine storytelling, outsize characters, suspense, and a technique that reminds us fiction is still a fluid form. Garson Kanin (November 24, 1912 - March 13, 1999) was an American writer and director of plays and films. Garson Kanin began his show-business career as a jazz musician, burlesque comedian, and actor. He graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City and made his Broadway debut in Little Ol' Boy (1933). In 1935, Kanin was cast in a George Abbott play and soon became Abbott's assistant. Kanin made his Broadway debut as a director in 1936, at the age of 24, with Hitch Your Wagon. Kanin's best-selling novel Smash (1980), about the pre-Broadway tryout of a musical comedy, was inspired by his experience directing the 1964 musical Funny Girl and was adapted into the 2012 television series Smash. In 1985, he was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame. Covering nearly a century of American theatre and movies, ONE HELL OF AN ACTOR intertwines myth, fact and invention with appearances by show business luminaries. Derived from a Kirkus review: This in part is a result of Kanin's of off-and-on investigations into the affairs of real-life John J. Tumulty (1849-1930), West Coast actor-manager and possible source material for some sort of Kanin dramatization. It's impossible to tell how much of this is invented, how much really happened; clearly Kanin found the Tumulty enigmas fascinating. Anyway, he gets a chance to drop first names galore--Spence, Kate, Arthur (Rubinstein), Laurette (Taylor), Thornton (W.)--and indulge in the good-natured showbizziness that is his province.
