- MSL Picks -
As with any favorite prose or poetry, this book gets better as one allows the subtleties to penetrate. So many of the simple word pictures linger and actually become more vivid and meaningful with each return visit. The experiences of the Gifted People are to be enjoyed once, given time to age then relived with the full intent of putting the lessons into action.
Dauten has such a wonderful down-home, warm and friendly manner. It's almost a small town, Keillor-Wobegon style. I can imagine Dauten on an old high school auditorium stage, sitting precarious on the edge of a battered wooden stool and spinning his Gifted Tales to a spellbound audience. Read it once, read it again and again. But be in no hurry. Stop along the way, close your eyes and recapture the essence of each Gifted-Story. There are so many wonderful nuances hidden about, just waiting to be discovered! The Gifted Ones will know when they have found one! And the surprise is that each of us won't necessarily find the same gems! Enjoy!

From Publisher
Good business begins with a good boss - and the truly gifted ones know that their future depends on creating first-rate employees: the kind of men and women they can teach and trust. Reliable, able, ambitious people who respond to guidance rather than requiring supervision or micro-management, and who understand that real success is shared by everyone from the senior manager to the most junior member of the team.
In this priceless business parable, Dale Dauten turns to an eccentric management sage in search of experienced advice on how to become a true leader with the skill and insight to attract and recruit exceptional employees and help them reach their full potential. Filled with prescriptive illustrations, subtle suggestions, and engaging, enlightening anecdotes from well-known managers and CEOs of major companies, this wise, wide-ranging book is entertaining and important reading for anyone who hopes to be an effective boss, able to help every talented employee to excel and grow into a top performer.
