Mini Reviews of four additional books

Andrew A. Black, president and CEO, Princeville State Bank, Princeville, Ill., $64.9 million-assets:

“I recommend Unlocking Your Legacy: 25 Keys for Success, by Paul J. Meyer (Moody Publishers, 2003). This book makes you take a step back, and emphasizes working smarter, not harder.”

Sidney Bostian, president and CEO, Southern Bankers (in organization), Greenville, S.C.

“My most valuable book is The Heart of an Executive: Lessons On Leadership From The Life Of King David, by Richard E Phillips (Galilee Trade, 2000). The book helps me maintain a long-term perspective. I recommend it to any banker for a reminder of the importance of followers in any organization and the obligations of leaders to them.”

Charles Chastain, senior vice-president, branch administration, Spirit Bank, Tulsa, Okla.,

“I recommend Social Intelligence: The New Science of Success, by Karl Albrecht (Pfeiffer, 2005). An excellent book about what makes some people successful and others toxic in the workplace. We have used it to conduct internal leadership training for lower- and mid-level managers.”

Kyle Elliott, senior vice-president, Commercial Trust Company, Harrisburg, Mo., $99.7 million-assets:

“I thought that the book, Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk, by Peter Bernstein (Wiley, 1998) was a very good one for anyone in business.”
