A year ago, I wrote about Dusan Djukich’s Straight-Line Leadership, which I described as a “no-nonsense book about [Mr. Djukich’s] no-nonsense approach to leadership.” Mr. Djukich is co-founder and a Senior Partner for Corporate Reinvention Associates, which helps individuals and organizations maximize their performance. I followed up in March, advising that the work is available as a free e-book.
Mr. Djukich has now written six pieces, each with thirteen points, to help entrepreneurs make a straight line to success in 2013. The pieces are incisive, informative, and inspirational.
I wrote that “Straight-Line Leadership will change the life of anyone who embraces its principles.” The same is true of these pieces. Each is linked below, with excerpts.

Conclusion
Johan Norberg observed the important role of entrepreneurs:
Entrepreneurs are the heroes of our world — that despite the risks, the hard work, the hostility from society, the envy from neighbors, and state regulations, they keep on creating, they keep on producing and trading. Without them, nothing would be there.
Mr. Djukich’s insights will help entrepreneurs in their heroic endeavors.
