In 1835, Colonel Thomas S. Meacham wanted to give the president of the United States a present that celebrated the achievements of his upstate New York farming community. Believing that big is always better, he decided a colossal, legen-dairy gift was in order: a wheel of cheese measuring four feet in diameter, two feet thick, and weighing 1,400 pounds. Transporting the cheese to Washington D.C. was another big undertaking. It traveled by wagon and by ship, before being delivered to the White House on New Year's Day in 1836. But with a big cheese comes a big smell, and after a year the president had a stinky situation on his hands. How can he get rid of this cheesy gift? Readers of all ages will enjoy this slice of American history. Back matter includes science facts on cheese making.

Coco and Bear find their brave in this charming sequel to the New York Times bestseller Share Some Kindness, Bring Some Light.

Coco and Bear are excited to perform their super special dance at the summer festival...until Coco loses her brave during dress rehearsal! Bear offers to help Coco find it and they start by asking their friends: "How do you find your brave?" Even after trying their friends' suggestions, though, Coco still doesn't have her I-can-do-anything brave back. So she and Bear decide to drop out of the show.

At small or large scale, most strategies fail to deliver on their intended purpose despite talented leadership, capable experts, and sophisticated approaches. Why is that? The short answer is: complexity.

Organizations are often more complex than they need to be. Complexity is a constant energy drain and a continuous distraction from what really matters, eating away at organizational performance and denying competent leaders and their teams the success they deserve.

How can you best turn the tide, once and for all? In Anti-Complex, business builder and master complexity warrior Rend Stephan outlines a unique path to battling and defeating the complexity monster. With wit and wisdom, Rend offers a compelling guide to the Anti-Complex mindset--and an accessible set of tools for leaders to achieve ultimate performance. Along the way, readers will unlearn misguided approaches and shed years of complex programming in order to take their organization to new heights.

Including novel, insightful, battle-tested, and impactful methods to becoming an effective leader--a Complexity Warrior--Anti-Complex is a comprehensive guide to dropping the complexity mindset today, in favor of a more resilient and successful tomorrow.
