A new view of the metaphysics of time, arguing that the traditional tensed- tenseless debate within analytic philosophy should be seen as the first stage in a philosophical investigation of time, and that the next stage belongs to phenomenology.

The book presents a fresh perspective on the metaphysics of time, suggesting that the longstanding debate between tensed and tenseless theories in analytic philosophy is merely the initial phase of understanding time. It advocates for a shift towards phenomenology as the next crucial step in this philosophical exploration, emphasizing the importance of subjective experience in the study of temporal concepts.

Leveraging People for a Corporate Turnaround recounts the thought processes and actions necessary to turn an ailing company or business unit around. The book emphasizes that to be effective, such efforts must be led by managers with business expertise, good judgment, and outstanding people skills. Much of the existing literature on corporate turnarounds focuses on business operations: legal, bankruptcy, and management accounting issues. Too often, such books view staff as merely an expense to be cut, a commodity to 'downsize' or 'rightsize.' In contrast, this book emphasizes that people's skills, concerns, motives, aspirations, and deficiencies are central factors in determining the success of any enterprise, and in particular one that is ailing. Leveraging People for a Corporate Turnaround provides its readers, be they seasoned managers, newly-promoted managers, or students of management, with the insight needed to succeed. Management and operations best practices are combined with practical, easily grasped principles and processes for leveraging people's diverse talents and skills, in order to stanch the red ink, heal the wounds in the corporate body, and put the company back on its feet.
