Leadership in the Rough

Are you working in the right place for you? Is the business model of the company you are working for going to be able to provide you with the selection of career opportunities you deserve?
Or, are you looking to invest your hard-earned dollars saved in companies positioned for success?
Or, are you a CEO curious in finding out how great businesses out there work in order to help you attract top talent and enjoy more prosperity?
 
 FIND OUT!
 
 
So much Noise in the world...
So much change and disruption in the world...
Yet, some businesses just seem to flourish and continue to succeed. Look at their SECRETS BELOW THE SURFACE to find these gems.
 That is where you want to work!
 That is where you want invest!
 
In this book, I will describe the top 10 business models that I uncovered over my career in the financial world. They uncover the secret inner workings of companies in ways that management may not even realize. Arming you with this knowledge will help you distinguish between one company that is simply limping along with no long-term business plan, and another that is seemingly similar on the surface but is very different and very powerful underneath. You should seek out these powerful companies to work for and to invest in. They provide their employees with countless more opportunities for career growth, and they provide their investors with superior long-term returns. 
The book is organized by chapters. 
¿ Each business model is described in a separate chapter with examples and clues to help you find them operating in the world around you. 
¿ At the end of every business model chapter, you will find a HOT BOX which will act as a handy reference to help you identify them using practical cues.

Where to Work? Where to Invest?

Secrets Below The Surface - Handbook of the Top 10 Business Models in the World

This study assesses the economic return on investment (ROI) of training and human resource development programs in the Albanian tourism industry, a rapidly growing and labor-intensive sector. Based on a structured survey of 100 respondents from 50 tourism enterprises and statistical analyses conducted in SPSS 29, the research evaluates the financial and organizational impacts of training, the degree of formal ROI measurement, and key structural barriers.
Results indicate that 61% of enterprises invested in training during the previous 12 months, yet only 28% applied formal financial ROI assessments. Using the Phillips (1996) model, the analysis identifies an average ROI of +63% and a payback period of approximately 8.2 months, confirming training as a high-return investment. Training also yielded positive non-financial outcomes, including higher employee satisfaction (+21%), lower staff turnover (-13%), improved service quality (64%), and increased customer satisfaction (61%). Correlation analysis (r = 0.68, p Despite these benefits, enterprises face persistent challenges, including budget constraints, limited staff time, low motivation, and a shortage of qualified trainers, compounded by weak analytical capacity and non-standardized evaluation tools. The study concludes that while training generates substantial value, its full ROI potential remains underexploited. It recommends institutionalizing ROI measurement, strengthening strategic human capital investment, expanding digital learning, and reinforcing collaboration with educational institutions to enhance competitiveness and sustainability in the tourism sector.

From Training Costs to Economic Returns

For the first time, THE BUSINESS INVESTOR explains in practical terms how to apply Warren Buffett's investment hurdle rate, using Buffett's own words as the foundation.

The book lays out the Warren Buffett path to financial freedom in a groundbreaking, step-by-step guide that takes you from mindset to methodology and is designed for investors who want to think and act like long-term business owners. Building on Benjamin Graham's original foundation in The Intelligent Investor, the book expands it with Warren Buffett's principles of owning great businesses-run by excellent management-and investing only when the odds are clearly in your favor. The focus is on achieving attractive, long-term returns based on a company's underlying earnings.

The book also introduces a powerful new tool that enables investors to analyze and optimize their own investment profile and circle of competence. This tool was developed by Peter Gustafson through his lectures in Omaha, Nebraska, at the executive management seminar The Genius of Warren Buffett.

Advanced Techniques and Modeling in Business and Economics

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge premium prices to thousands of eager subscribers. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes by analysing the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button. Useful reading for the general reader and for students and researchers involved with business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

Traditionally, the presence of pornography in American society has been mediated by two primary factors: legal restrictions and the relatively high cost of the product. The degree of legal restrictions on adult material has varied from era to era and community to community, but the porn premium has remained relatively constant. Given this, these should be heady days for adult business owners. Thanks to the Internet, distribution costs are virtually nil and even the most hardcore content is easily accessible in the smallest coastal hamlet and most rural farmhouse in America. Adult industry balance sheets should be bulging with profit. But in reality, far from it. The World Wide Web has completely eradicated both the legal restrictions and premium cost that used to govern adult industry economics. To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge thousands of eager subscribers premium prices. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes with a detailed analysis of the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button.Accessible to the general reader, this book will appeal to those who want to know more about the adult entertainment industry in America and will prove useful reading for students and researchers involved with a wide variety of academic disciplines including business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

The Pornography Business

The Trust Architect is a leadership doctrine for a world where technology moves faster than human judgment, and trust has become the most fragile-and most valuable-currency. In an era shaped by cyber risk, artificial intelligence, and invisible digital dependencies, traditional leadership models no longer hold. This book challenges leaders to rethink authority, responsibility, and decision-making in systems where failure is silent, breaches are systemic, and ethics lag behind innovation. Blending cybersecurity strategy, organizational psychology, and executive leadership, The Trust Architect introduces a new mental model for building resilient institutions-where trust is engineered, not assumed. Written for CXOs, CISOs, board members, and senior leaders, this book is not about tools or checklists. It is about mindset. It asks one uncomfortable question: who designs trust when systems outgrow human control?

The Trust Architect

How do we make workplaces more sustainable, given the present world challenges?

It includes new coverage of the impact of artificial intelligence, work-life balance, hybrid and remote working, DEI initiatives and changes to organizations post-Covid. There are a variety of features to help you connect theory to practice, including The Reality of Work and Globalization and Organizational Behaviour. Globally-oriented, this 5th edition includes new cases and examples from around the world, and includes new chapter case studies that are aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. It assumes no prior knowledge of the subject or previous work experience, and the content fits to the typical structure of Organizational Behaviour modules at undergraduate, postgraduate and MBA level. This edition is supported by extensive online teaching and learning resources, freely available at bloomsbury.pub/organizational_behaviour_5e

Organizational Behaviour

Leadership is often described as the ability to inspire people toward a shared vision-but what if leadership could be understood as something more dynamic? What if it were a practical framework that intentionally integrates organizational culture, strategic execution, and human potential?The CEO's STAMP of Approval is far more than a leadership book-it is a transformational blueprint for executives and leaders determined to elevate their organizations amid volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. Drawing from decades of hands-on leadership experience and academic rigor, T. Wiles Fowler delivers a compelling narrative that blends real-world insight, innovative frameworks, and engaging storytelling to empower leaders at every level.This book challenges conventional leadership thinking by offering actionable strategies that redefine how leaders build teams, drive performance, and cultivate high-performing cultures. Framed around the setting of a golf tournament, the story introduces the S-T-A-M-P framework-Support, Teamwork, Aptitude, Morale, and Performance-as a practical sequence for leadership and team development aligned with organizational vision. Through the experiences of HARDAWAY Tools and The Learning Center (TLC), readers see how situational agility, employee alignment, and continuous improvement can overcome inertia and organizational friction, transforming stagnation into momentum.The book's use of memorable acronyms-such as L-E-A-D-S,T-R-A-I-N, and C-H-E-C-K-distills complex leadership and operational theories into clear, actionable steps. Fowler's extensive background, including his Lean Six Sigma expertise, is evident throughout, offering evidence-based strategies for talent development, team dynamics, and performance improvement.Ideal for leaders navigating economic pressure, operational challenges, or organizational change, The CEO's STAMP of Approval provides a clear and practical roadmap to improve morale, streamline processes, and enhance profitability. Its balance of relatable storytelling and academic depth makes it both engaging and credible.

Welcome to Faith &amp; Business: A 52-Week Devotional for Christian Entrepreneurs and Business Leaders.This devotional was born out of a simple but powerful truth: Your business is your ministry!Whether you're building a brand from scratch, managing a thriving company, freelancing, or leading a team, you are not just a business person - you are a Kingdom representative in the marketplace. You carry the light of Christ into boardrooms, coffee shops, contracts, spreadsheets, and customer service conversations. You are part of God's plan to transform culture, serve others, and create meaningful value-all through the work of your hands.Yet this calling is not easy. Business can be lonely, risky, overwhelming, and often deeply personal. It's a world where faith is tested in practical ways: in late payments, employee tensions, quiet seasons, tough decisions, and the constant pressure to perform. That's why this devotional exists-to serve as a weekly anchor, helping you reconnect your business life with your spiritual life, so the two become one seamless expression of who you are in Christ.God cares deeply about your work. Scripture is filled with builders, stewards, entrepreneurs, and marketplace leaders-from Abraham and Lydia to Nehemiah and the Proverbs 31 woman. These weren't just Sunday saints; they were everyday workers who honored God through faith-filled leadership, generosity, diligence, and trust. In the same way, you've been called to build, lead, serve, and create-on purpose and for a purpose.

This short book is intended to be an easy to read reference to a person that is just learning about artificial intelligence and AI Agents It is definitely not for people that know about the subject. The book is not perfect, because who knows where to stop and start in this complicated arena.
There are many people who believe that intelligence is a subject that is related to human being and not to machines. Calling it artificial is not enough. At the Dartmouth conference in 1956, Simon and Newell suggested "Complex Information Processing." Perhaps, that could have been a better name for a new specialist discipline.
There are many books already published on artificial intelligence, and for the most part, they are very good. My guess is that there are about 500 of them, and there is not a bad one in the bunch. The really good books, for the specialist, are hard to read for people not in the field of artificial intelligence. What about the poor joe that just wants to find out what going on and wants to keep his or her job. What about the executive that just wants to make sure his charge is heading in the right direction. What about the person that wants to buy a gift for someone that might want to know about artificial intelligence but is afraid to ask. This book is for you.
This was a difficult book to write because we are at a difficult time in its development. Many thanks to Janice, Kathryn, Karen, and grand kids Sara, Daniel, Leah, Matt, Katie, and Tom for their assistance and kindness.
