Houston, TX (PRWE May 2, 2009 — Craig Hickman, best-selling author of more than a dozen books, has consulted for corporations and organizations internationally and served on boards of directors for several companies. His newest book, "The Insiders," will be featured on Total Career Success, an Internet show on VoiceAmerica Talk Radio Network, at 11 a.m. Central on Monday, May 4. The show is designed to inform and encourage listeners to achieve their career goals by featuring experts and business leaders to provide advice on job search and career advancement. Craig Hickman will address some of the underlying reasons abuse of power and bad policy erode our organizations and our government, weakening our democracy. Learn how personal and organizational accountability can reverse the downward spiral of our economy and our values.

Show co-host Sheryl Dawson shared, "In his thriller, The Insiders, Craig exposes how those on the inside of the world's power structures have become enemies to those on the outside. The strong, powerful, well-financed insiders abuse their power, corrupt our hierarchies, cheat the system, live above the law, and manipulate everything for their own purposes and gain. The outsiders—those who are relatively weaker, less powerful, and under-financed—are left to fend for themselves as economic slaves to debt, jobs, corporations, institutions, and a corrupt system. The outsiders have been duped, exploited, and oppressed by the insiders. Craig declares that it's time to change things."

Co-host Ken Dawson added, "As a CEO, director on numerous boards, international consultant and best-selling author of many books on leadership best practices, Craig's insights carry weight. Don't miss this opportunity to hear what you and your organization can do to raise accountability to a new level, to reverse the slide of our democracy, and to turn our organizations inside out! The change begins in each person willing to make a difference - it begins with you."
