The Advantage of American Ideals
Restoring the Vision that Rocked the World
Build a brighter future by embracing the benevolent principles that founded a nation, and have a little fun in the process. You'll hear tales of writing on the walls with crayons, get sage advice from the ancient Romans, and even make the occasional Chihuahua nervous as you put the things that make America great into practice in your own life. When you start living like an American you'll forever change the way you interact with others, resulting in greater respect, increased opportunity and a larger circle of true friends. If it worked for a bunch of scruffy upstarts who defied the greatest empire of their day, it'll certainly work for you!

One Mongol Short of a Horde
Success Through Strength and Unity
The essence of any company, large or small, is its people. Unfortunately, the amount of energy spent on office politics, turf wars and squabbles over staplers could probably power enough cappuccino machines to make your entire operation nervous for at least a year. Workers and managers alike fail to realize that the enemy is not the person down the hall struggling for the resources that you want but rather your industry competitors, who would just love to raid your company, rustle your cattle and leave you spinning idly in the breeze. Fortunately, there's a better way. As the Mongols, Romans and every other great nation knew, the best way to guarantee the good life for yourself is to build an invincible empire.

Geek Speak
Improving Communication Between Techies and Mere Mortals
If you've ever had to deal with your IT department, whether it's getting support on your hardware or interacting with software developers, you've probably wondered why they're so obsessed with technicalities when all you want is to get the job done. In fairness, most techies find you, and anyone else who isn't passionate about technology, equally mystifying. The unfortunate result of this impasse is reduced productivity for all concerned. To get the most out of your IT department, or your IT career, you need to make communication skills a priority.
