"In the late 1960s, France attempted a complete overhaul of its financial regulations without being forced to do so by a stock market crash or the collapse of its banking system. Out of pure political expediency, Gaullist reformers seized the opportunity offered by a minor insider trading case to establish the "Commission des Opérations de Bourse (COB), an independent commission in charge of regulating the securities market. Even more surprisingly, these staunch defenders of national sovereignty drew their inspiration from an American model, the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Along the way, it reveals a great deal about French and American perceptions of morality and capitalism, but also, more generally, about the exercise of political power in modern democracies, the interaction between business and government, and the mechanisms of institutional innovation"--
What's in a name? A lot, when you are talking about a certain high school in south Louisiana. Starting out as Thibodaux College before giving way to the name Thibodaux Central Catholic and ultimately E.D. White, the high school in the heart of bayou country has become synonymous with a quality Catholic education. Shortly after becoming E.D. White in 1966, the once-struggling Cardinals went on to win back-to-back football state titles in 1968 and 1969. Ever since the late 1960s, the Cardinals have produced a consistent winner in football to match the school's success in the classroom. The Cardinals: A History of E.D. White Catholic High School Football recounts the exploits of players and coaches who helped build a program that has its fans proudly proclaming E.D. White, Fight, Fight, Fight.

The more traditional forms of leadership that are based on static hierarchies and professional distance between leaders and followers are growing increasingly outdated and ineffective. As organizations face more complex interdependent tasks, leadership must become more personal in order to insure open trusting communication that will make more collaborative problem solving and innovation possible. Without open and trusting communications throughout organizations, they will continue to face the productivity and quality problems that result from reward systems that emphasize individual competition and “climbing the corporate ladder”. Authors Edgar Schein and Peter Schein recognize this rea...
