“I found Geronimo Stone very engag-

ing and easy to read. The authors

did a great job of weaving the novel

around the business principles. I felt

like the conclusion came quite fast

and furious once it started to un-

fold.”

Dan Miller, Author of 48 Days to the

Work You Love (www.48days.com)

"Geronimo Stone is certainly an

innovative way of presenting a

business management model for

consideration. Craig Stevens has

written a suspenseful fiction novel,

incorporating his educational, pro-

fessional and Christian back-

ground. The book is well-written

and well-edited."

Kaye Trout - July 24, 2006 http://kayetrout.blogspot.com/2006/07/geronimo-stone-by-craig-

stevens.html

“I found the book ‘Geronimo

Stone’ to be Business In-

formative, placed in an enjoy-

able read.”

Leslie Caraway, President of

Panhandle Exploration, Inc

"'Geronimo Stone' is a unique

blend of fictional mystery written

as a life drama. Craig Stevens

uses real business models en-

twined to hold the business ex-

ecutive as well as the non-

business reader captivated.

Through each chapter my inter-

est was peaked and I could not

wait to find out what happens

next. This book will make a

great addition to anyone's busi-

ness or personal library."

Janie Moyers, Human Resources Specialist, Business & Life Coach, NASA, Marshall Space Flight Cen-ter, AL http://ohc.msfc.nasa.gov ,http://nasapeople.nasa.gov/Training/coachmentor/default.htm

“Craig Stevens has incorporated an entertaining read with intrigue and some great principles. These principles are

good to live by and to operate a business with. ‘Geronimo’ will hold your attention while you learn.”

Introduction to Geronimo Stone

In this searing drama, learn the seven attributes of "The Mobile of Ex-cellent Management." This, the first story in the Geronimo Stone Series, takes place at an independent record label in Nashville, Tennessee. The once-prosperous company is in chaos when its patriarch, Robert "Geronimo" Stone becomes ill and dies. His family survives the pro-found personal loss only to face a hostile business war. They encounter so many challenges, so quickly, that it never occurs to them there may have been something peculiar about Geronimo’s death. The family and remaining junior employees struggle against the com-pounding challenges of their deteriorating business. Together they at-tempt to stabilize their downward-spiraling blues record label, once the envy of the entire music industry. They face major organizational change and restructuring, a hostile takeover attempt, subversive senior employees, and more. See for yourself how they handle this impossible situation with the help of unusual "mobile" and insightful message left by Geronimo. Hold on as you race headlong from tragedy to threat, to surprise solution and glorious celebrations. All the while, learn to handle the most perplexing problems of the 21st Century.


"A unique and creative

look at contemporary

management princi-

ples surrounded by a

tale of mystery and

suspense."

Erin Anderson, Associate Director, Management and Human Rela-tions, Trevecca Nazarene University, Nashville, Ten-

nessee

"I’ve been in the corporate business world more years than I want to admit. I quit reading “Business Management”

books years ago. They were either too warm and fuzzy for my tastes or were retreads of the same tools and tech-

niques under a new buzz word. After the first chapter of fancy color charts and the same old models in new clothes I

was bored.

Geronimo Stone is different. I won’t give any secrets away, but if you are a leader, think you are a leader, or want to

be a leader, you must read this creative delivery of management strategy. If you are an excellent leader, it will rein-

force your efforts. If you want to be an excellent leader, you will find the “mobile” to benchmark where you are against

where you need to be. Read the book and prove me wrong.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Very creative approach."

H. Nowell McKee, Enterprise Account Manager, New Horizons Learning Center. Mr. McKee was part of the original

team at Tennessee Eastman Kodak to facilitate TQM into the service business units, i.e. IT, Accounting, Finance, Pur-

chasing, etc.

“I did enjoy your book. I found it to

be "entertaining and informative"

which is a nice combination after a

long day at work. It was easy to

read not dry and sleep inducing as

I have found most management

books. I think you have a winner

here. I look forward to the second

installment.”

Therese Anderson, President

of Anderson Capital Mortgage,

LLC

"Geronimo Stone is an inventive

way of incorporating the realistic

issues business owners face today

with an innovative business man-

agement model. The book holds

the reader’s attention by integrat-

ing a fictional novel-type sto-

ry. Kudos to Craig Stevens for a

job well done."

Tonya Morgan, Human Resource Manager Vanderbilt University Medi-cal Center, http://

www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/

"The tale of Geronimo Stone is very riveting. The progression of the story unravels the underlying business principles. The princi-ples are applicable in everyday life as well. The story is well thought out, inspirational, and educates one in the process."

Sela Pearson, nurse, author,

speaker, UoPhx MBA/HCM candidate - Nashville, TN

"Geronimo Stone is a very entertaining as well as educational book. Craig Stevens has written an educational book that

reads like a mystery. I found the book very well written. The strategies listed in Mr. Stevens Mobile are very common in

the manufacturing world, but he has found a way to put them together in a very understandable and memorable way. I

would, and have, recommended this book to others.

Mike Toney, Engineering Manager, Batesville Casket Company, Manchester Facility

and engaging piece. I found it

easy to identify with the char-

acters and found the pages

going by very quickly!"

Joel W. Smith, President, Compre-

hensive Media, Inc.; www.ComprehensiveMedia.com

"Being an avid music lover, the Geronimo Stone story line caught my attention and held it until the end. I was impressed with the writers' style. They bound together the "mobile of excellent management" and challenged the company's employees to work as a team to find a way to bring about change. The authors did this without losing the focus on the company's employees, values, or credi-bility. The book is creative, mysterious, and fun to read. Can't wait to see what happens in the next book!"

Where did the Business Model come from for

Geronimo Stone

Craig A. Stevens originally developed the concept of "The Mobile of Excellent Management" based on the earlier works on Quality Man-agement by Dr. Jerry Westbrook. Dr. Westbrook discovered the six attributes of Total Quality Management (TQM): culture, customer focus, team building, problem-solving, continuous improvements and performance measure. Craig Stevens added the concept of the mobile, the logic of balance, the seventh attribute of Leadership, and updated the definitions of the other six attributes. Craig has shared this mobile with several universities, large companies, and governmental organizations (including, NASA, DOD, Vanderbilt University, etc). He believes that the mobile and the seven attrib-utes provide a framework on which to build and/or improve any company's management. The mobile creates a step-by-step plan and an easy way to communicate these ideas to employees and others. Co-author Michael Moore (a music business expert) provid-ed much of the music business insight, color and realism.

"A unique and creative look at contemporary management principles surrounded by a tale of mystery and suspense."

Erin Anderson, Associate Director, Management and Human Relations, Trevecca Nazarene University, Nashville, Ten-

nessee

"Geronimo Stone pulled out the emotion as I felt the frustration with Tommy, the sadness, strength, and humor of

Aunt Brenda, and the courage to face the destructive forces of greed from the competition. The heroism of Geronimo

in the midst of war made me cry. Then, at the end of the drama, I realized I had learned some vital business tech-

niques without feeling the pain. I believe this is the best way to learn...relating to others' losses and triumphs makes

you feel a part of the whole. This great work of fiction introduced vital principles of everyday work ethics and produc-

tivity. A must read for anyone who is striving for integrity in the workplace!"

Theresa Heflin, Author of Love Letters from God

"The Geronimo Stone Series outlines innovative business transition concepts. The books, workshops, and models

found here establish a stage for implementing and managing the leadership strategies that create partnership and a

service attitude. The focus is building and reinventing the global business enterprise. The models are a fresh ap-

proach to transforming any organization’s visions and energies into a systemically successful approach to busi-

ness."

Patricia Leonard, consultant, trainer, author, speaker and performer (http://www.messagearts.com).

"I was fortunate enough to read

the story of Geronimo Stone and

his Mobile of Excellent Manage-

ment. I say this only to comple-

ment the mobile, which is simple

in its design but seems to fit into

any situation and give a stable

model of an effective organiza-

tion. I will be able to compare

back to that no matter what field I

end up pursuing. The writing was

not bad, either."
