# Run With the Bulls
“Run With the Bulls taught me commitment, authentic character, and competence. Thoughtfully commit to the work you do. Day in and day out. Never slack of providing motivation, positivity and education in your poetry. Be the same wherever you go. No matter what. You learned that from Hussein bin Talal..Do not complain. Get on with business. Do not stop. Keep starting over. Show exceptional competence by keeping your mouth shut and doing what you are told without question. People have their reasons for telling you to do what they tell you. You do not have to know why. It is not your place to know why. Neither it is their place to know your story, or your condition, or your lack of family cohesion. Keep that to yourself. Instead sing to yourself. Write poetry. Read books. Run like a Cleaner and build up your skills in small chess piece steps. It compounds. Fade in the background and listen keenly without saying anything. You learn a lot and will soak up more than those that talk more than you do! Start today on listening and it will teach you gems you never knew about life. Just observe and be patient and work. Your time will come for promotion when all your naysayers and haters will be amazed at your competence. Do not ever doubt God and His Plan. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. So hold your head up high and smile. Because God is standing by protecting you by and by. One day you will run with the bulls when no one expects it. So keep paying your dues and being an asset to those in need.”… (meer)

Derailed chronicles the careers of six CEO’s in the business world. Each of these CEO’s had a career that many would envy; well paid and in control. They also each had one thing in common. They all failed at their careers due to a lack of leadership skills and character.

Derailed gives the reader a look into each person’s career and allows them to see how they failed and what lessons can be learned from their failures. A few of the CEO’s he describes include Dick Fuld, former CEO of Lehman Brothers, and Durk Jager, former CEO of Proctor & Gamble.

Tim Irwin explains what the five stages of derailment are and how we can avoid them in our personal lives by recognizing the attitudes and behaviors that lead us there. This book is ideal for anyone who holds a leadership position in their lives. You don’t have to be a leader in a business capacity, these ideas can easily be used by teachers, pastors or youth group leaders.… (meer)
