Mad Men is one of the most celebrated programs in television history and helped to refine AMC as a network dedicated to quality scripted storytelling. Unlike other much-anticipated TV returns this year, such as HBO’s Game of Thrones, fans of the series have little to chew on. Without much in the way of clips, ads or interviews with the cast, most of what will transpire at the office of Sterling Cooper & Partners is a mystery to viewers.
That insistence to avoid spoilers is closely tied to the tight-lipped sensibility of the show’s creator, Matthew Weiner. Weiner first broke through as a writer on Becker and received two Emmy nominations for his work on the last three seasons of The Sopranos. His work on the HBO show, which became a television milestone before the age of the “spoiler alert,” made him interested in staying mum on what happens on Mad Men,...

While we have featured many business books this year in our Leadership Hall Of Fame, we have avoided biographies. Well, here is a list of those remarkable businessmen and women who decided to tell their life's story and impart their wisdom, from Ash to Welch.

How were the top companies of the 1980s so successful? For Hp and Walmart, they focused on their employees. We continue our Leadership Hall of Fame series, a year-long look at the top business books and authors, with an excerpt from In Search of Excellence (1982) by Tom Peters and Robert H. Waterman, Jr.
Although most top managements assert that their companies care for their people, the excellent companies are distinguished by the intensity and pervasiveness of this concern. The only way to describe it adequately is through example.
Hp
In one study, eighteen out of twenty Hp executives interviewed spontaneously claimed that the success of their company depends on the company's people oriented philosophy. It's called "the Hp Way." Here's how founder Bill Hewlett describes it:
I feel that in general terms it is the policies and actions that flow from the belief that men and women want to do a good job,...

HollywoodNews.com: The “Real Housewives of New Jersey’s” Teresa Giudice exploded against Danielle Staub on the show when Staub accused her of filing for bankruptcy on the show.
However, now that it has been a few weeks from the air date, items from her house are currently being auctioned off and fans are starting to wonder what the real truth is. Giudice finally addressed the rumors by writing on her Bravo blog the following message:
Hello Baby Dolls!
Alright, I’m going to dive right in here. I don’t read the tabloids and I’ve been spending my days with my four little girls, so I really only heard about all the new stories circulating about me late last night from my fans. Thank you all for the heads up, for the wonderful wishes and prayers!
Since I don’t really pay attention to the gossip, I don’t usually respond to it,...
