    Key takeaways:

    1.  Common change management efforts fail! Senior and middle managers, who attempt to change their organizations, are offered a glut of analysis techniques that only provide short-term solutions. Many of these analysis techniques express they supply the panacea of business solutions to both companies and organizations. They can’t. Short-term solutions will not provide the required processes that tie into the organizational policy, the integrated follow-on processes, and later procedures without connecting management decisions throughout the whole of the enterprise. 

    Unless those independent analysis tools offered affect continuous improvement and become part of the culture, focused on a concerted effort, the resources used are most often wasted as they fail to bring the results intended or needed. Unless companies learn how to customize change and continuous improvement for their industries, and in their individual environments, they are doomed to continually wrestle with their resources in their efforts to engage solutions that are critical to long-term and competitive successes.


    2.  Professionalizing Strategic Systems Management for Business and Organization Success – Introducing the Change and Continuous Improvement Management Three-Leg Stool is a viable option to both the training and adoption of a continuous improvement culture in companies and organizations, whether they are civilian, civic-governmental, or military, it is imperative to business operations sustainment. With little doubt it will also highlight the importance of the segmented unit’s worth within a myriad of business organizations.

    3.  The focus of this book is to help senior and middle managers overcome training and operational stagnation in their businesses and organizations. Further, it provides business college trainers, their deans, and their professors the opportunity to help train business students using a broader and more integrated scope by the time they leave academia and enter their respective professions. Here more advanced and integrated business management and continuous improvement systems are explained.

    After barely surviving his involuntary entry into the more hazardous side of civil rights, Puzo’s dysfunctional adventures take him to Washington, D.C., and subsequently, to a Pacific Island aptly referred to as The Island of Thieves, where his continuing confrontations with racial enlightenment finally led him to hiding from the CIA while working at a remote and dilapidated pig farm somewhere in the Philippines.

    However, Katheen Hopkins is elected as the first female President of the United States. She intends to save America by being steadfast and returning the red, white, blue to superpower status. Things could get messy, but the battle to retain freedom is always worth the cost.


    As a nation, we will stand strong, and our soldiers will do whatever it takes to beat back the enemy. We will be active in the military arena, no longer satisfied by pacification. It is time to join the battle with a new leader at the helm and return America to its original glory even at the peril of another world war. Bullies will herd us like cattle if we do not stand up and fight. We cannot repeat our mistakes for that is… INSANITYTOO.

  • WHILE THE U.S. SLEEPS: Squandered Opportunities and Looming Threats to Societies by Winston Langley


    For well over a century, both political parties and a long succession of U.S. leaders have failed to embrace countless opportunities across a variety of areas to make a major contribution to either national society or the world at large. Those failures haunt U.S. society and the world today.

    While the U.S. Sleeps looks at six of these areas. In each, the failure to grasp opportunities constitutes a form of sleep, even a lack of basic understanding of the profound implications of rejecting or circumventing those opportunities.

    The United States, because of the values that accompanied its birth and those it has espoused, coupled with the evolving socio-economic and political standing of its place in the world since World War I, has achieved much at home and abroad. It has, also, been faced with inadequately addressed problems that have progressively festered and have now become threats to the very life of societies, national and global. 

    Efforts to deal with some of them have erringly focused on personalities-specific presidents (Trump, for example); particular political parties; or identified events or movements (1960s radicals or far-Right extremists) rather than on rooted patterns that have shaped and reinforced institutions. 

    The book looks at some of those patterns, in the areas of disarmament, economic development, race and class formations, popular culture, the environment, and the will to power. It then proposes some steps toward a possible course correction.
