Download or read book When Kiwis Flew written by Bob Iverson and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2017-01-27 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aspiring entrepreneurs, aviation buffs, and job-seekers wanting a fresh start must read this personal, gritty tale of creating a complex airline from scratch, and quickly turning it into a $120,000,000 business. Readers are in the pilot's seat for every twist and turn of this breathless, gut wrenching, and inspiring high speed flight. From outrageously edgy capital-sourcing to all-out combat with competitors and the FAA, you will experience what entrepreneurial hardball is really about. It will either scare the business suit off you or convince you that anything is possible. Anyone searching for greater opportunity can learn valuable lessons about determination, personal resourcefulness, ethical limits, and hope from this true story. Fueled by anger and obsessed with justice, I went from an unemployed Eastern Air Lines pilot to founder and CEO of the "Best Airline in America" in two years. Without a penny or a clue, I started KIWI International Air Lines by tapping into the deepest needs of my bruised, battered, and out-of-work Eastern Air Lines colleagues. In March 1989, the Eastern pilots, mechanics, and flight attendants walked out on strike. The company eventually failed, and 27,000 workers lost many of the best jobs in America. Some built new lives, some muddled through, and some never recovered. But several hundred invested their money and talents with me to create an exciting new career opportunity. In 1993, Conde Naste Traveler named KIWI "Best Airline in America." By combining financial, professional, and personal resources we reclaimed our dignity from a collusive triad of industry, government, and union agendas that had done its best to destroy us. Instead of cowering and giving up, we joined forces, believed in each other, and overcame every obstacle in our path. The risky journey began in early 1990 as nothing but a crazy dream, and the first flight took off in September of 1992. When I left in 1995 KIWI was a $120,000,000 airline employing 1,
Download or read book Working the Skies written by Drew Whitelegg and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2007-06-01 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get ready for takeoff. The life of the flight attendant, a.k.a., stewardess, was supposedly once one of glamour, exotic travel and sexual freedom, as recently depicted in such films as Catch Me If You Can and View From the Top. The nostalgia for the beautiful, carefree and ever helpful stewardess perhaps reveals a yearning for simpler times, but nonetheless does not square with the difficult, demanding and sometimes dangerous job of today's flight attendants. Based on interviews with over sixty flight attendants, both female and male labor leaders, and and drawing upon his observations while flying across the country and overseas, Drew Whitelegg reveals a much more complicated profession, one that in many ways is the quintessential job of the modern age where life moves at record speeds and all that is solid seems up in the air. Containing lively portraits of flight attendants, both current and retired, this book is the first to show the intimate, illuminating, funny, and sometimes dangerous behind-the-scenes stories of daily life for the flight attendant. Going behind the curtain, Whitelegg ventures into first-class, coach, the cabin, and life on call for these men and women who spend week in and week out in foreign cities, sleeping in hotel rooms miles from home. Working the Skies also elucidates the contemporary work and labor issues that confront the modern worker: the demands of full-time work and parenthood; the downsizing of corporate America and the resulting labor lockouts; decreasing wages and hours worked; job insecurity; and the emotional toll of a high stress job. Given the events of 9/11, flight attendants now have an especially poignant set of stressful concerns to manage, both for their own safety as well as for those they serve, the passengers. Flight attendants, originally registered nurses charged with attending to passengers' medical needs, now find themselves wearing the hats of therapist, security guard and undercover agent. This last set of tasks pushing some, as Whitelegg shows, out of the business altogether.

Download or read book Managing through the Entrepreneurial Fog written by Tim Koprowski Sr. and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-06-04 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a manager, you have the opportunity to inspire those under your purview to the point where they feel privileged to have you as their leader. It may be a lot of work to get there, but it can be done. In Managing through the Entrepreneurial Fog, author Tim Koprowski Sr. addresses the necessary steps for successfully managing people toward a common goal. It begins by delving into the world of management by presenting a new philosophy called “Play by the Rules.” Sharing anecdotes that give the rationale behind its foundation, Koprowski describes a unique and complete approach to managing people based on twenty-three key concepts. He then discusses how this philosophy was used to strengthen the foundation on which a start-up company was built. He traces the story of a software company for the healthcare industry that began with virtually nothing and later became a formidable force for well-established companies to contend with. Providing candid accounts of the various challenges the business faced, Koprowski explains how the concepts from “Play by the Rules” played an integral role in examining the company’s failures and turning them into successes. A practical tutorial for potential, current, and new managers, Managing through the Entrepreneurial Fog illustrates the application of an effective management philosophy put into practice in the workplace.

Download or read book Emergency Planning for the Solo Entrepreneur written by Kathryn Hack and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenges facing a solo entrepreneur when calamity strikes are unique in the realm of disaster planning, and the only effective strategy for preventing a business failure after an unexpected major setback is to have a clearly thought-out emergency backup plan. This book guides you to being 100 percent ready for the worst-case scenario. Disasters are sudden, calamitous events that can bring about great loss and failure to a business. Some disasters can be prevented through good judgment and careful planning; others—whether "acts of God" such as flood or fire or a personal health crisis—cannot be. What will happen if the one person responsible for the day-to-day operations of a solo entrepreneurship is suddenly incapacitated and unable to manage the business? In cases of small businesses that do not have a clear backup or disaster recovery plan, the outcome is often the total failure of the business. This book is both a wakeup call and an action plan for small business owners. It will guide readers toward creating a backup system that will enable a business to "run itself" without the immediate presence of its owner—for a week, a month, or even longer. The author presents a tested strategy that has its roots in preparing for natural disasters, and replaces the all-too-common refusal to believe that bad things can and do happen with hard facts and realism. Clearly, solopreneurs cannot afford to take risks of failure when it comes to their businesses—the most important thing in their lives aside from family and health.
