Charlie Series Publications
As Robert says, “If you think your organization is going to be doing business in 3 to 5 years the same way it’s doing business today – that is surely a going-out-of-business strategy!”
This series of business management books provides important, real-world advice and recommendations for executives, or aspiring executives, wanting to successfully guide their organizations through change. When organizations don’t change, they fail.

Smell the Bacon, Charlie!
A CEO's Guide to Implementing
Organizational Change
Please don’t think that this is just another boring business book on implementing change. When you read this book, you will feel you’re in Robert’s office, or maybe his classroom, and he’s talking directly to you (or as you will see in the book, Charlie, the organization’s CEO) about the things you need to do, and do right, in order to successfully move your organization through the change process. Be assured, you will not be bored. When you finish the chapter “Eggs & Bacon” you will move to the next chapter “The Burning Oil Platform…..JUMP”, and then on to the next “Let’s Wash That Rental Car”, and so on. You will enjoy the read while you’re learning critical requirements for organizational change that you can start using in your organization today.

An Executive’s Guide to Strategic Planning
So What, Charlie!
There’s a famous quote in the business world – “If you don’t have a strategy - you will be part of somebody else’s strategy!”
Strategic Planning is one of the fundamental processes for any organization striving for success, or even viability. In his third book, Robert J. Haworth will guide you through this important, complex, and sometimes very “squishy” area of business management.
Like his first two books, Robert is coaching Charlie on this important topic in a conversational, off-the-cuff and humorous style.
