ATTITUDE 101
As stated in the preface to this concise primer, any weekday edition ofThe New York Timescontains more information than the average person living in 17th-century England was exposed to in a lifetime. In acknowledgement of the modern world's information glut, leadership expert John C. Maxwell has producedAttitude 101, a 99-page companion volume to one of his previous bestsellers,Leadership 101. In this new book, Maxwell examines the importance of attitude in determining a leader's success or failure, the forces that shape a person's attitude, and the seven choices necessary if one is to change his or her attitude. Fans of Maxwell's earlier books will enjoy his pithy advice, and will no doubt look forward to the third and fourth volumes in this series (Relationships 101,Equipping 101), both available in 2004.--David Bombeck
