EDGE Publishing Company Signs C-Level Expert Business Author Chris LaCorata

Oct. 4, 2010 - PRLog -- American businesses have faced countless challenges over the years, but none so worrisome as the impending lack of qualified leadership. Oftentimes, employment fears are centered around the lower echelons of the corporate hierarchy, as these ranks are filled by millions of people and any problems concerning these employees may result in big problems for the country's unemployment rate. However, the highest ranks of corporate executives are not immune to crises.

Chris LaCorata, EDGE Publishing's newest signed author, brings light to a problem that, although it concerns the highest ranks of the corporate world, has the potential to devastate entire companies. In his book, The Leadership Crisis: The Looming Talent Shortage and How to Make Sure Your Company Survives, LaCorata explores how a drop in the population and a lack of qualified leaders will affect Corporate America.

In addition to presenting an often overlooked problem, LaCorata offers solutions that businesses can use to counter the crisis before it becomes too devastating. This unique perspective about American business attracted EDGE Publishing, which is always on the lookout for new ideas.

"Chris LaCorata's book is fresh, it's entertaining, and it's interesting," said Phil Vera, President of EDGE Publishing. "I am excited to be able to help such a qualified professional share the knowledge he has gained through his experience."

LaCorata, a C-Level expert, has spent his career working with high level executives. Having worked as Vice President of Operations for Clear Source Inc., Director of Operations for Wis-Pak Pepsi-Cola and Consolidated Container, and having founded his current business venture, INTERIM America Inc., LaCorata's experience makes him an authority in the subject.

Amanda Clark of Grammar Chic, Inc., who edited and formatted The Leadership Crisis, is also excited to be a part of the project. "The amount of knowledge that Chris (LaCorata) has is amazing, and it's wonderful that he's been able to take the time to share it with the world," said Clark.  

EDGE Publishing Company, through the direction of Vera, specializes in working with first-time authors who are looking for a way to cut through the bureaucratic red-tape and "hoop jumping" of the publishing industry.  The company has a wide-ranging catalogue of titles, from true crime, to horror, science fiction, psychological thrillers, self-help and children's books.  Additionally, the company recently signed an agreement with Minnesota-based, Chinese Literary Agency, CA Link, to market and promote books to the Chinese publishing market.
