This document contains the re-written and refreshed compilation of Ken's LeaderFOCUS essays written at the time of the catastrophic Paradise Fire of October 2003 that swept through Valley Center, California, one of many fires that consumed much of San Diego County that same week. They form a new book to be published by Xlibris by the end of the year, and will be available online at Xlibris.com, Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
