Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. »» Martin Luther King, Jr.

Best Business Book Title, EVER!

The Stevens Construction Institute has requested that I help spread the news about Matt Stevens’ new book Managing a Construction Firm on Just 24 Hours a Day, which has got to be the best title for a business book (never mind a construction book), in history. If you’re already sold (as I was by the title alone), then simply follow this Link to Book Reviews and Ordering Information. For those who are still with me, I’ll go on…

By the numbers… 406 pages, 130 Best Practices, more than 100 illustrations, 60 Excel templates to set up everything you need, and a CD with 5 e-courses to guide you along.

Richard Korman, Senior Business Editor, Engineering News Record and ENR.com wrote: “It is like talking to your older brother who has clamped a hand on your shoulder and is telling you the blunt honest truth about the costs associated with schedule compression or right-sizing your overhead.” I only wish I could put it as well. Basically, if you’re struggling with your construction firm, wishing you could do better, or even just considering whether or not to start your own, then this book is a must have.
