Books by Daniel Jacob

In the long tradition of the anti-hero in English literature, award-winning author Daniel Jacob has created a whole bunch of them – each able to stand shoulder to shoulder with a Flashman or anyone from the pages of a Waugh novel. With the touch of a Tom Sharpe for grand farce, the grotesque Crooke-Wells siblings trace their mean, mendacious and downright nasty steps through a series of plots and pitfalls in their attempt to accumulate unearned and entirely unmerited wealth. Standing like a beacon in this sea of iniquity is the mother, whose string of illicit love affairs seems positively honest by comparison. This is the story of an upper-crust English family which is part of a sub-group known as The Hereditary Rich. Beautifully written and splendidly wicked, The Silence of the Shaggy Rug is not for the faint-hearted or politically correct.

Grow people; grow organizations! Every organization, in order to function, needs resources--namely, money, machinery, materials and methods. Man was also considered as one of these resources--but no longer! Man--people--is a great possibility endowed with enormous potential. It is perhaps the greatest leadership responsibility of every corporate manager and business head to take the lead in 'connecting' with people on the intellectual level--developing acquaintance, 'understanding' on the emotional level--knowing their maturity and 'motivating' to tap into their inherent dormant potential. Organizations by themselves don't make profits; it is the people who make profits for the organization. People, undoubtedly, are the roots of an organization. Take care of the roots to get the fruits. By connecting, understanding and motivating, you grow people and create leaders! The essence of leadership is creating leaders!
