The WING ZONE Story

The Hardware: Leadership Tools and Tales is a memoir-like leadership fable envisioned by Michael Cloutier, a retired pharmaceuticals executive, and co-written by Randi Madonik Skurka. It addresses contemporary challenges by incorporating fictionalized personal anecdotes in an engaging story, in order to demonstrate and teach principles of leadership.
 
The story opens with the protagonist, Brad, a business executive, receiving an invitation to be bestowed with an honorary degree by the University of Toronto at the spring convocation of its business school graduates. This is to be in recognition of his contribution to Canadian business and to the university, at which he served as an instructor and chief fundraiser for a new student learning centre. Each subsequent chapter contains flashbacks of events in Brad's life, and related recollections or conversations about a leadership trait or "tool," for example, trust, authenticity, integrity and generosity; these are summarized in key takeaways at the end of the chapter. The episodes unfold against the backdrop of his life's trajectory, starting with childhood memories of the small town hardware store of his grandfather, which is about to be sold.
 
Readers will be left educated, entertained and inspired.

“At the core, Hit Refresh, is about us humans and the unique quality we call empathy, which will become ever more valuable in a world where the torrent of technology will disrupt the status quo like never before.” – Satya Nadella from Hit Refresh“Satya has charted a course for making the most of the opportunities created by technology while also facing up to the hard questions.” – Bill Gates from the Foreword of Hit Refresh The New York Times bestseller Hit Refresh is about individual change, about the transformation happening inside of Microsoft and the technology that will soon impact all of our lives—the arrival of the most exciting and disruptive wave of technology humankind has experienced: artificial intelligence, mixed reality, and quantum computing. It’s about how people, organizations, and societies can and must transform and “hit refresh” in their persistent quest for new energy, new ideas, and continued relevance and renewal.&nbsp; Microsoft’s CEO tells the inside story of the company’s continuing transformation, tracing his own personal journey from a childhood in India to leading some of the most significant technological changes in the digital era. Satya Nadella explores a fascinating childhood before immigrating to the U.S. and how he learned to lead along the way. He then shares his meditations as a sitting CEO—one who is mostly unknown following the brainy Bill Gates and energetic Steve Ballmer. He tells the inside story of how a company rediscovered its soul—transforming everything from culture to their fiercely competitive landscape and industry partnerships. As much a humanist as engineer and executive, Nadella concludes with his vision for the coming wave of technology and by exploring the potential impact to society and delivering call to action for world leaders. “Ideas excite me,” Nadella explains. “Empathy grounds and centers me.” Hit Refresh is a set of reflections, meditations, and recommendations presented as algorithms from a principled, deliberative leader searching for improvement—for himself, for a storied company, and for society.

The Joe Slota Experience Series

From the Streets to Global Seats is a powerful 2-in-1 book that blends memoir, leadership guidance, and the irreplaceable lessons of guardianship. In this hybrid work, Joseph A. Slota, CMA, CLM -retired Deloitte Consulting partner, global executive, and lifelong mentor-shares a profoundly personal journey shaped by discipline, compassion, family legacy, and the quiet strength of those he calls the "Special Forces of Leadership."

The first section is a raw, authentic memoir tracing Slota's rise from the toughest streets of Jersey City to global leadership. Grounded in the teachings of his father, a WWII Master Sergeant whose silent guardianship shaped Joe's values, resilience, and life balance, a narrative that blends family legacy, adversity, humor, and transformative life lessons.

The second section delivers real-world leadership blueprints drawn from decades of corporate experience, global travel, crisis management, and executive mentoring. These frameworks offer practical guidance for purpose-driven professionals, emerging leaders, and anyone seeking clarity in a noisy world. From soft skills and communication to ethics, balance, and conflict navigation, these blueprints are designed for immediate real-life application.

More than a memoir and more than a leadership book, From the Streets to Global Seats is a return-to-resource; a structured guide for reflection, growth, and daily practice. With clarity and conviction, Slota reminds readers that legacy is built while you climb, not deferred until retirement, when it's too late to climb back down.

Perfect for readers of The Last Lecture, Educated, The Power of One More, Leaders Eat Last, and The Leader Who Had No Title, this book honors the guardians who shape us and provides an actionable framework for purpose, legacy, and leadership in modern life.

For anyone seeking wisdom at the intersection of life, leadership, memoir, and meaning, From the Streets to Global Seats delivers more than inspiration-it provides a blueprint for becoming the person your legacy deserves.

From the Streets to Global Seats: Two Books in One - Legacy and Leadership Blueprint

From The Streets To Global Seats

No matter the size or type of business, one does not become an industry leader by luck. The Baker Company is no exception. 

From its Sanford, Maine, roots as a small family business in 1949, The Baker Company's focus was the emerging field of contamination. The company's founder, Arthur Baker, was an engineer; in 1957 he hired Jack Eagleson as a management consultant and to oversee operations. Nine years later, Jack bought the business-a year after his son Dennis, the author of this book, joined the firm.

With a commitment to integrity, unwavering ethics, and hard work, Jack built an exceptional team while expanding the product line and growing the company into an international organization. This story provides a window into how it happened-from equipment, technology, and learning from customers, to developing a reliable brand promise and a strong management group, and creating a multifaceted customer base. Part memoir, part window into the field, and part instruction manual for career success (no matter the field), each chapter offers a winnable philosophy for today's business world.

The Baker Company is now operated by the third generation of Eaglesons, who carry out Jack's legacy by continuing to Fight The Good Fight.

The Entrepreneur's Business Success(ion) Planner: A Blueprint for Wealth Guide

Your Multimillion-Dollar Exit

“An inspiring blueprint to overcome challenges—and thrive” (Arianna Huffington, Founder and CEO of Thrive Global), and turn doubt into rocket fuel to achieve your dreams, from entrepreneur, CEO, and healthcare investor Surbhi Sarna. The very qualities that make you an outlier are, in fact, your strengths. Or so Surbhi Sarna discovered after a teenage cancer scare inspired her to reimagine healthcare, founding a medical start-up to detect early ovarian cancer. In Without a Doubt, she shares how she proved the doubters wrong. As a young, brown woman without a medical or Ivy-league degree or Silicon Valley contacts—and who had felt different throughout her life—she was often overlooked and underrated. Undeterred, Sarna used the naysayers as ammunition to help her surpass expectations—and achieve her dreams. Without a Doubt is her “inspiring” (Tim Draper, venture capitalist and founder of Draper Associates) story of becoming a leader without an MBA, networking without a network, and raising funds when she didn’t know a single venture capitalist, teaching you how to do the same. Sarna led an all-star team to develop a life-saving medical device, sold her business for $275 million, and became a partner at Y Combinator, one of the most successful venture firms in the world. Using her own experience, she shows you how to face setbacks, not let impossible standards get in the way, lead empathetically, empower others to think differently, and how to convince the right people to help you accomplish your goals. Without a Doubt reveals that your power lies in recognizing the qualities that make you different and leveraging them to pursue your dreams.

How to Go from Underrated to Unbeatable

Without a Doubt

About the Author

Edward W. Page began his career in surety bond underwriting and commercial banking in New Jersey and Missouri before moving into private equity in New York. From his home in St. Louis, he commuted to Manhattan to negotiate, acquire, finance, manage, and divest companies across North America and Europe.

Just before his son's birth, Ed returned to St. Louis and founded Williams Capital Partners, Inc., focusing on acquiring and advising privately held businesses primarily throughout the Midwest. Across four decades, he has led numerous successful turnarounds, preserving companies and saving jobs.

Beyond the boardroom, Ed enjoys golf, skiing, and walks with his dog, Gertie. He values time with friends, frequent travel, and trips with his wife, Lynn, to London to visit their son, William, and daughter-in-law, Tara.

About the Book

Knightmare Capital is the raw, unfiltered, high-stakes account of Edward W. Page's leap from the steady lanes of surety bond underwriting and commercial banking into the unpredictable world of private equity. Driven by personal upheaval, Ed took a gamble on a scrappy New York firm and found himself on a rocket ride through high-pressure deals, nonstop travel, and boardroom showdowns that most people only witness on screen.

Mentored by some of the sharpest minds in accounting, finance, law, engineering, and operations, Ed transformed into a battle-tested "deal guy," able to juggle multiple acquisitions, turnarounds, and exits simultaneously across North America and Europe. Each win added to the firm's meteoric rise-until cracks at the top began to spread.

What started with red-eye flights and late-night negotiations slid into chaos, fueled by mismanagement and the increasingly erratic behavior of the firm's mysterious Chairman. Fortunes were lost. Careers collapsed. Lives were upended. As the house of cards shook, Ed stood at the eye of the storm, fighting to salvage what he could, protect the people and companies that still mattered.

Knightmare Capital is more than a business memoir-it's a cautionary tale, survival guide, and front-row seat to how power, ego, and neglect can turn a dream into a nightmare.

Routledge Studies in Employment Relations

This is the era of flexibility. Under constant pressure to be adaptable, organizations increasingly adopt employment practices such as zero-hours contracts, the casualization of the workforce and the use of temporary and agency labour. These flexible practices are central to debates about the changing nature of job quality and its causes, trends and consequences.Arguing that job quality is central to understanding contemporary work, this book explores the internal and external pressures for flexibility in workplaces, professions and sectors and how this pressure shapes workers' experiences of job quality. By studying job quality dynamics via case studies from organizations and occupations in the UK, Poland, Belgium and Sweden, the volumes illustrates the diversity of practices and experiences, as well as market pressures and institutional arrangements which effect working lives. Finally, the editors propose a policy debate on the new concept "flexiquality" - a combination of flexibility and job quality that can be beneficial for both management and workers.

Experiences in a European Context

Job Quality in an Era of Flexibility

A freewheeling and riveting memoir from media honcho Tom Freston that takes us behind the scenes of his global adventures—from hitchhiking around the world, to running a clothing export company out of India and Afghanistan, to cofounding MTV, to becoming CEO of MTV Networks, then CEO of Viacom, then later returning to work in Africa and Afghanistan. Tom Freston’s path to the C-suite was decidedly non-traditional. After getting his MBA, he bartended his way through the United States and the Caribbean, sparking a lifelong passion for travel. After a brief stint on the fast track at an ad agency, he chucked it all and headed to the Sahara Desert and beyond. Entranced by India and Afghanistan, he stayed on for eight years and launched his first big success, Hindu Kush, a company that designed and manufactured contemporary clothing for export to America and other countries. Freston’s next chapter followed his other passion: music. He joined the small original team that launched MTV where he swiftly climbed the ladder, eventually overseeing not only MTV but also Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, VH1, CMT, and other iconic networks. He built a creative powerhouse that transformed global popular culture in cable’s all-conquering heyday. In this unique memoir of risk-taking, rule-breaking, and warm cultural exchanges, Freston shows how to be successful at living your life on your own terms.
