The Monroe Doctrine
Summary
With this address, US President James Monroe set a precedent for the nation’s foreign policy. In it, he stated that “The American continents...are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers.” Monroe established this doctrine in a time where most of Spain and Portugal’s colonies in Latin America had gained independence. From then on, the Old World and the New World would operate in separate political spheres, and any European interference in North or South America would be considered a threat against the US.

Don't Be a Dick Manager
Summary
Take a successful employee, promote them into management but give them no management training, and there’s a very good chance you’ll create a defensive, insecure, unsuccessful dick of a manager. Here is the management training you never got! This honest, straightforward guide reveals the things nobody talks about - knowledge that only comes from real-world experience in the management trenches. It will change the way you look at yourself, your job, and your career, and it will enable you to be a successful leader and mentor. Most importantly, it will help you avoid becoming a dick manager (or, if it’s too late, to reform) so you can enjoy the personal and financial rewards of being a great manager. Discover the power of the laws of management and understand the personal characteristics you must have to excel as a manager. Learn how to deal with noncommunicative, mean, micromanaging, bully bosses and how to figure out when it’s time for you to leave an impossible situation. Find out how to deal with ambitious employees and how to turn around hostile, jaded ones. And be warned about the one type of employee who must go, no matter what. Filled with anecdotes from more than 20 years of management experience, this book takes a frank look at the author’s mistakes and triumphs, his great bosses and his dick managers, and the lessons learned from all of them.
