While reading "On Leadership" by Donald J. Palmisano I have often found that it is above my reading level...

Totalitarianism - a form of government in which the ruler is an absolute dictator
There have been recent references to...
*Nineteen Eighty Four (I am picking this up now because I own it and I have neglected to ever read it... though Mr. Cortes, my history teacher, did say it was creepy and not great... still...)
* Creative Think
* New Think
* A Whack on the Side of the Head
* The Lively Art of Writing
*And many more!!!
Apparently there are whole schools, degrees, libraries... on leadership according to my parents... I am going to research these things!
