Many childhood summers, Mark Woods piled into a station wagon with his parents and two sisters and headed to America's national parks. Mark’s most vivid childhood memories are set against a backdrop of mountains, woods, and fireflies in places like Redwood, Yosemite, and Grand Canyon national parks. On the eve of turning fifty and a little burned-out, Mark decided to reconnect with the great outdoors. He'd spend a year visiting the national parks. He planned to take his mother to a park she'd not yet visited and to re-create his childhood trips with his wife and their iPad-generation daughter. But then the unthinkable happened: his mother was diagnosed with cancer, given just months to live. Mark had initially intended to write a book about the future of the national parks, but Lassoing the Sun grew into something more: a book about family, the parks, the legacies we inherit and the ones we leave behind.

Lassoing the Sun

Since the invention of management over a century ago, it has gradually become detached from the day-to-day operation of the organization and from delivering value to customers. Conventional wisdom is that managers set targets and then create systems to monitor, measure and control the execution of these targets. These systems include budgets, performance management, incentives and appraisals, which are used to exercise control and ensure that targets are met. Simple, obvious and wrong! We need a change in management thinking. Dragon slaying explains. Can you afford to ignore it? "This book challenges leaders to think about the way they manage. It is a small volume with a big impact and insightful examples which bring the powerful messages to life."Tracey Paul-Clark, Financial Services and Capital Markets Marketing & Communications Proffesional (and one time entrepreneur) working for Nat West, Lloyds TSB, the Stock Exchange and other financial Blue Chips "A succinct practical guide to contemporary management issues with long overdue debunking of prevalent management myths.
