Taming the Troublemaker


Book Description

One daring kiss with the playboy tempts the good girl, but can she tame him? Autry Hill may be a cowboy to his boots, but he’s also gained quite the reputation as a charmer and playboy. His parents aren’t sure he’s ready to take the reins of the family’s prosperous Texas ranch, so they set up a challenge: No women or scandal for the next six months and the ranch house he grew up in is his. Easy peasy, Autry thinks. He’s already tired of late nights and romancing, until elementary school teacher Beth Cooper happens to cross his path. Suddenly Autry is losing his heart, his mind, and what’s left of his reputation. Good girl teacher Beth Cooper is far too practical to fall for Autry Hill, even if she had a crush on him way back when. The man’s been breaking hearts since middle school. But when he becomes her unexpected champion and then they work together to help one of Beth’s troubled students who’s about to lose everything, she sees a different side of Autry – serious, compassionate, determined and dedicated. And that Autry is nearly impossible to resist. Does she need to?




The Hybrid Leader


Book Description

The Hybrid Leader brings a whole new perspective to the theoretical framework of leadership development. Buchen challenges the conventional wisdom of leadership as singular and fixed forever.

The range of leadership options offered here covers all the bases—those starting out, mid-career, and even those long at the top.




Boxology


Book Description

Does every one inside the box think the same? No differentiation? No evolving levels? Then too where do those who think outside of the box, go? Back to the original box to go through further iterations? Not likely; after all they have outgrown their box. Like Adam they have tasted the fruit of knowledge and they are banished from the box of Eden. What happens to them? They fall into history and evolution. Each generation reenacts the drama of their thinking birth and emergence from the fetal paradisiacal box. Each one is doomed to further—perhaps endless—development. Each one is blessed and cursed forever with restlessness—with endless curiosity—and with the haunting memory of their original and archetypal release from the box of limited thought. Boxology: Thinking and Working Inside, Outside, and Beyond the Box and the Cubicle offers the answers to these and other questions in the realm of education.
