This brand new edition of a classic, international bestseller continues to bring keen insight to an important topic--workforce diversity. Written in a charming, engaging style, it is a contemporary corporate fable--a tale for our times. This special 20th anniversary edition includes many new tips, tools, and strategies for peacocks and penguins alike--as well as an entirely new bonus parable. Through the story of Perry the Peacock and his fine feathered friends, authors Gallagher and Schmidt bring to life the challenges of birds of different feathers who struggle to be successful in the conformity-minded Land of Penguins. Their travails illuminate the challenges of creating a pluralistic corporate culture in which the talent, energy, and commitment of all employees are fully engaged. People who have new ideas that differ from business as usual are often ignored or criticized for the very thing that makes them valuable: their originality and creativity. This unique book helps organizations break out of "penguin thinking" in order to tap into and leverage the creativity of diversity. Learn how to cultivate an organizational culture in which new ideas can flourish and innovation can take flight.

The Power of Positive Doing
Getting Good at Getting Results
You've heard of the Power of Positive Thinking. There's no doubt about it...the human mind is an amazingly powerful computer, capable of transforming our lives. But achieving what you want in life isn't accomplished by sitting in your comfy chair and visualizing all day long. Far too many people neglect to ACT on their own behalf in order to bring their dreams to life. As cosmetics company founder and CEO Estee Lauder put it so well, "I didn't get here by dreaming about it or thinking about it - I got here by doing it." In The Power of Positive Doing, BJ Gallagher has captured the "secret" no one is talking about - you can actually change your thoughts and attitudes by taking positive ACTION, no matter what you're thinking or feeling! She calls it the "The Power of Positive DOING" - the title of her latest book. B.J. is no stranger to Simple Truths' readers. The author of more than 20 books, including Friends, Oil for Your Lamp, and The Best Way Out is Through, her engaging stories and original poetry have put her on our best-seller list.
