SynopsisRoy Bean's passion, as far back as his youth in Mason County, Kentucky, had been for gold. He tried his hand at being a merchant in Mexico, but then he killed a man in a gunfight and had to flee. A chance encounter with Jeff Kirker gives his life a new direction. Kirker masterminded the robbery of an Army payroll in California with the help of the bandit Joaquin Murieta and his gang. But he double-crossed Murieta and managed to hide the gold. Retrieving it will be dangerous, but it might be done with Bean's help—and, of course, Bean will get his share. When Kirker is killed in a skirmish with Comanches on the Spanish Trail, he leaves behind some of the gold coins from the hidden cache, a map on one of the coins to where the payroll is buried, and a name: the Red Rosita. Bean has no alternative but to push on, but there is danger. Joaquin Murieta and his gang seem to be everywhere, and Bean is only one man against many. In this edge-of-your-seat yarn, Garwood proves himself to be a master of Western storytelling, making Roy Bean's Gold a must-read for fans of the Old West., Managing the Workplace Survivors: Organizational Downsizing and the Commitment Gap is written for managers and other staff professionals who are charged with the responsibility of realigning the corporate culture and revitalizing survivor employees. The book helps managers and other organizational leaders understand the critical role they play in today's organization, and identifies specific strategies for increasing quality, productivity, and bottonm-line profitability among survivor employees. Organization leaders are challenged to construct dynamic strategies to empower, retain, and create incentive for the survivor employees, and to facilitate effective strategies to assure the entire organization's survival. The book is divided into two major parts: Gaining a Perspective and Developing a Survivor Strategy . Gaining a Perspective places more emphasis on who the survivors are, where they come from, and what is happening to them. It introduces the Survivor Management Model, which outlines an approach used successfully by the authors to help companies recommit and realign their survivors. Developing a Survivor Strategy shifts more emphasis to recommendations about what to do with them. The Appendices are a Manager's Toolkit that contain several instruments and exercises that have proved effective in implementing the Survivor Management Model.
