Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children\'s paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost \"in the stacks\" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as \"1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores\", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan.

From the rear cover
Look up the verb to hack in any contemporary dictionary and you're likely to find as many as ten or more definitions, including: "to break up the surface of the ground," "to alter a computer program by accessing its operating code," "to cope with or manage successfully," "to clear a path by cutting away brush, vines, and weeds," and "to create innovative customizations to existing or outdated methodologies." For the purposes of this book, all of the above apply.
The follow-up to Mike Myatt's internationally acclaimed Leadership Matters, Hacking Leadership is for leaders who feel that their performance falls short of their potential and who want to know why. It's for leaders who understand that in business today, the rule is adapt or die. And it's for anyone who wants to expand their leadership acumen, or for leaders interested in shaping a sustainable culture of leadership.
While much of what you discover within the pages of this book will be new to you, some will be very familiar. As Mike explains, core leadership principles have remained largely the same since the dawn of time. The trick is learning how to integrate those principles with evolving leadership practices engineered for twenty-first century success.
Enter Hacking Leadership. It delivers a proven approach to identifying your blind spots and closing leadership gaps. This book helps you gain a sharper perspective on your performance as a leader; learn to challenge your presuppositions about leadership and who you are as a leader; gain deep insights into your perceptual biases and self-imposed limitations; and totally reframe your thinking about what it means to be a leader.
But that's not all. With the help of in-depth case studies chronicling his work with leaders at many of the world's leading organizations, Mike identifies the eleven leadership gaps which can be fatal to your health as a leader. These include gaps in the key areas of leadership, purpose, future, mediocrity, culture, talent, knowledge, innovation, expectation, complexity, and failure.
More importantly, he arms you with actionable leadership and management hacks to bridge those gaps in order to create a true culture of leadership within your organization and drive record-breaking bottom-line and top-line business results.
Offering a bold new approach to leadership development and powerful tools for achieving your full potential as a leader, Hacking Leadership is must-reading for anyone who refuses to think of leader as merely a job title, but as their life's mission.
