Summary

"…an amazing quilt of insights about one of the greatest business organizations ever!" —Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author of THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE 

How did Microsoft go from small company to global force? Veteran Microsoft manager Julie Weed takes you behind the scenes at one of the world's most successful companies to share the invaluable lessons she learned there when the company was young.

Engaging and easy to read, this insider's guide to Microsoft's original strategies gives tips to improve all dimensions of professional life, from managing your career and managing a team all the way to managing your own business. These tips will help you put your career in high gear, no matter the industry, and offer the kind of down-to-earth sensibility that's missing from business primers. With humor and insight, Weed reveals what she learned from her teammates, her competitors, and her mistakes, pairing every piece of advice with glimpses into the day-to-day operations at Microsoft.
 
In the new age of lean startups and tech-driven entrepreneurship, Julie Weed’s experiences at a young Microsoft make for required reading.

    Throughout her life, Alexandra Penney's worst fear was becoming a bag lady. Even as she worked several jobs while raising a son as a single mother, wrote a multimillion-dollar bestselling advice book, and became editor in chief of Self magazine, she was haunted by the image of herself alone, bankrupt, and living on the street. She even went to therapy in an attempt to alleviate the nagging in her mind that told her that all she had worked for could crumble. And then, one day, that's exactly what happened. Alexandra Penney had taken a friend's advice and invested nearly everything she had ever earned with Bernie Madoff. So one day she was successful and wealthy; the next she had almost nothing. Suddenly, at an age when many Americans retire, Penney saw her worst nightmares coming true. Entertaining and inspiring, The Bag Lady Papers chronicles Penney's struggle to cope with the devastating financial and emotional fallout of being cheated out of her life savings, and traces her journey back to sanity and security. Her outraged blogs about the Madoff scandal in The Daily Beast and her commentary on CNN have generated millions of hits and earned her a loyal following. How do you pick yourself up after your worst nightmare comes true? Penney shows us how.

    Embrace Open Engineering, and accelerate the design and manufacturing processesProduct development is a team sport, but most companies don't practice it that way. Organizations should be drawing on the creativity of engaged customers and outsiders, but instead they rely on the same small group of internal "experts" for new ideas. Designers and engineers should be connecting with marketing, sales, customer support, suppliers, and, most importantly, customers.The Art of Product Design explains the rise of "Open Engineering", a way of breaking down barriers and taking advantage of web-based communities, knowledge, and tools to accelerate the design and manufacturing processes. It explains how to establish open flows of information inside and outside an organization, increasing the quality and frequency of input from different groups and stakeholders.Open Engineering is crowdsourcing, it's collaborating, it's sharing and connecting. And it's helping a growing number of companies create better products faster than they ever imagined. The Art of Product Design reveals how to harness its power for your company.Hardi Meybaum is the founder and CEO of GrabCad, the largest community of mechanical engineers and designers in the world.
