    What determines whether an unexpected event becomes a disaster is you. 
 
 
 
In Design Any Disaster, certified emergency manager and master business continuity practitioner Patrick Hardy reveals the secrets of disaster preparedness that helped him build the largest and most successful small business and family disaster planning company in the world. He explains why: You should never, ever "remain calm" during a disaster, 99% of all disaster plans are a complete waste of time, and fancy disaster equipment and supplies actually leave you less prepared. 
 
 
 
Design Any Disaster is not a survival manual. It's a revolutionary approach to disaster preparedness, response, and recovery for families and small businesses that can be used whether you live in the middle of a big city, in a quiet suburban neighborhood, or in a rural county with more cows than people. Using the powerful C3 Method Hardy uses with his clients, from Fortune 500 CEOs to average families, you will discover how to get ready (plan effectively), react (focus without panicking), respond (protect yourself and your possessions), and recover (overcome swiftly). And in a revolutionary section you will not find in any other disaster book, Hardy also reveals how to reverse disaster, converting the experience into an opportunity to become wiser and happier.

    Chanakya, who lived in India in the 4th Century BC, was a leadership guru par excellence. The treasure of his teachings can be found in his book, The Arthashastra, which deals with good governance based on ideal leadership.   The concept of the ideal nation in The Arthashastra, called Saptanga, holds that there are seven pillars of a kingdom: Swami, Amatya, Janpada, Durg, Kosha, Dand, Mitra iti Prakritya. For centuries, Indian rulers have used this concept as a model of successful government.   In this path-breaking book, Chanakya's 7 Secrets of Leadership, author Radhakrishnan Pillai delves into Chanakya's Saptanga with the real-life example of D. Sivanandhan. Former Director General of Police, Maharashtra and the archetype of an able administrator, Sivanandhan shares his guidelines for effective management, highlighting those that make him a dynamic leader.   In Chanakya's 7 Secrets of Leadership, theory meets the practice, academic research meets vast experience in police supervision and an age-old formula is revealed in a modern-day success story. Together, Pillai and Sivanandhan bring Chanakya's model to life.   Anyone can use the seven secrets of leadership to run a kingdom effectively. Apply them in your life and the magic of Chanakya's wisdom will transform you into the ideal leader.

    Every day you walk the tightrope between idealism and pragmatism. 
Getting things done can mean compromising your principles. If you let it, the paralysis this tension creates will stop us from acting on the risks and opportunities that direct our future. And this problem is multiplied when working together in organizations where our values are diverse or even in conflict. 
We call these two mindsets The Missionary and The Mercenary. They both live hidden inside of you. If circumstances mislead you into leaning too far to one side or the other, you risk making mistakes that can send you tumbling out of control. 
We’ve discovered that mastering the Missionary + Mercenary balancing act is what leadership really is. Unfortunately, earning the kind of experience that leaders are made of is learned by choosing poorly and making mistakes. And today the stakes are so high we can’t afford too many of the wrong choices or we won’t have a future at all. 
Making the mistakes that can limit your future comes from asking the wrong questions, not lacking the right answers. 
We’ve spent decades distilling the most critical questions leaders must practice asking if they want to get everyone confidently pulling in the right direction to control their future. This is our guidebook to help you make the choices that will control your future too.
