You know Mark Twain, creator of the long-beloved characters Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, but have you heard what he said about Jane Austen? The Little Book of Zingers will feature the greatest comebacks and one-liners of all time, uttered by the iconic men and women we know and love (or love to hate)!Every generation sees its fair share of geniuses: men and women who possess boundless intellect and are capable of incredible insight. Søren Kierkegaard was such a man. Widely considered the father of existential philosophy, Kierkegaard uttered such profundities as: "If I am capable of grasping God objectively, I do not believe, but precisely because I cannot do this I must believe." But on one truly momentous occasion, Kierkegaard made one confident and succinct statement that shook the earth: "My opponent is a glob of snot." Kierkegaard spoke of Hans Martensen, an academic with whom he'd had a fair share of disagreements. The two often went toe-to-toe in scholarly debate, but with this dynamite zinger, Kierkegaard ended all further discussion. After all, who expects to be called a glob of snot? There's no coming back from that. The Little Book of Zingers will explore the rich depths of crushingly hilarious salt-in-the-wound one-liners you've never heard that'll make you gasp at their audacity. From the Age of Enlightenment to the Roaring Twenties to the boogie-down seventies, The Little Book of Zingers will take readers on a journey through some of history's greatest burns, spoken by the men and women who shaped the world.

Your company may be profitable today, with a solid product, plenty of buyers, and healthy pricing. If so, congratulations-it's an enviable position.Now, throw out everything you're planning to do to stay competitive. Your future survival means keeping pace with a world in flux, as expanding global markets, shorter and unpredictable business cycles, and increased ROI pressures reshape industries and erode market share for even the most venerable companies.

Learning to Succeed provides a deceptively simple, yet effective solution: Become a dynamic learning organization that actively embraces learning across the ranks, from the executive offices to the mailroom.Expanding on Peter M. Senge's The Fifth Discipline, corporate learning expert Jason Wingard draws from hundreds of interviews with senior executives, surveys, and questionnaires with division heads and business unit managers, and personal observations at companies big and small to:• Detail the pressures and opportunities of the global marketplace, with its expanding pool of resources, customers, and competitors.• Supply a Continuous Integration of Learning and Strategy (CILS) model that takes you through the process of analysis, strategic planning, implementation, and evaluation of learning programs.• Make a compelling argument for naming a chief learning officer, who assumes a top strategic role.• Blend thought leadership initiatives, development programs, and advisory services, and ensure that they link to corporate strategy.• Overcome culture and cost obstacles that can stand in the way of CILS and perpetuate the status quo.• Quantify how your learning initiatives impact the bottom line using the Return on Learning (ROL) formula.• Create a culture of excellence that attracts and retains top talent, and nurtures manager effectiveness.As this deeply informative book shows, corporate learning is not just an "intangible" or hit-or-miss pursuit. It's a critical shift achieved through careful implementation-and the most reliable solution for anticipating change, shifting gears, and thriving in our fast-paced world.
