Rail Freight explores the modern transformation of cargo transportation, highlighting how technological innovations and strategic business practices are reshaping the freight industry. The book examines the core elements of rail freight, emphasizing its potential as a sustainable alternative to traditional methods. Readers will discover how advanced train control systems and data analytics are optimizing routes and schedules, leading to increased efficiency.

    Join TikTok star Michela Allocca (@BreakYourBudget) for a crash course in everything personal finance. With real-life examples, this book unlocks the fun of money fundamentals. Michela Allocca had an epiphany when she was working at her first job: even those working in finance can have no idea how to budget, invest, and spend on a personal level! By the time she reached her mid-20s, she had a new mission: helping any young person who wanted advice with the “scary,” aka often misunderstood, world of personal finance. In Own Your Money, Michela shares all the tools she used to manage, save, invest, and set a routine that enabled her to save hundreds of thousands of dollars in less than a decade of professional—and freelance—work. You’ll find chapters that address: Budgeting: Don’t make it a dreaded B-word! Learn about various strategies including 50/30/20, zero-based, and 3-bucket budgets. How to save: It’s all about SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound). How to spend money: That’s right, a plan for spending is important too! With a quick analysis of values and priorities, you can spend without feeling guilt—yes, even on those fancy coffees. Investing: Learn the difference between 401ks and IRAs, investment types from index funds to target date funds, and relate it all back to core concepts in investing (like diversification). Jobs and careers: If your dream job doesn’t exist, join the club! Learn how to find satisfaction through the tasks you want to do, networking, and career pivots. Increase your earning potential: Set yourself up for a raise/promotion, negotiate a job offer, and figure out if a side hustle is right for you.  This is a book that’s meant to partner with you on your own journey and financial goals!

    CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the CEO. 
    As the CEO of a sales organisation, how many times have you said to yourself: 
    "thank god our customers are buying because we're not selling" 
    "we had ten-times pipeline coverage, but we still missed our number?" 
    Or ... heard from your sales leads the following: 
    "the person who was going to sign off on our deal has gone on leave" 
    "this is a strategic deal - we must discount to win" 
    "they decided to do nothing?" 
    If these lines sound familiar, then your sales team is stuck in the past. They are struggling to keep pace 
    with the market and will continue to stumble into the future. That's not to say you won't make your 
    numbers on occasion, but you can be guaranteed your company won't be the clear leader in its market. 
    This creates distrust with your sales team and that uneasy feeling of not being sure you will meet your 
    targets. 
    Is there a better way? 
    After twenty years as a senior IT sales leader addressing this problem and demonstrating measurable 
    success across multiple organisations, Andrew Phillips knows there is. 
    CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve 
    your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the 
    CEO. 
    The process is a multi-year investment to transform your sales organisation. It's challenging, but the 
    results are consistent and the revenue reliable. Andrew Phillips invites you to take the next step and 
    discover the benefits of CEO-Led Sales.

    Are you “leadership material?” More importantly, do others perceive you to be? Sylvia Ann Hewlett, a noted expert on workplace power and influence, shows you how to identify and embody the Executive Presence (EP) that you need to succeed. 
    You can have the experience and qualifications of a leader, but without executive presence, you won't advance. EP is an amalgam of qualities that true leaders exude, a presence that telegraphs you're in charge or deserve to be. Articulating those qualities isn't easy, however. 
    Based on a nationwide survey of college graduates working across a range of sectors and occupations, Sylvia Hewlett and the Center for Talent Innovation discovered that EP is a dynamic, cohesive mix of appearance, communication, and gravitas. While these elements are not equal, to have true EP, you must know how to use all of them to your advantage. 
    Filled with eye-opening insights, analysis, and practical advice for both men and women, mixed with illustrative examples from executives learning to use the EP, Executive Presence will help you make the leap from working like an executive to feeling like an executive.

    Most of us as leaders have experienced the frustration and  confusion of having an extremely difficult person to deal with in  the workplace?a person who debilitates individuals, teams, and even  organizations. These difficult individuals have the capacity  to completely undermine our sense of well-being. Why? Because  in a variety of ways they get under our skin, infiltrate our  professional and personal space, demoralize us, de-motivate the  team, and ultimately affect our competence and productivity.   They are ?toxic.? Unfortunately, like bad neighbors, short of  picking up and moving to new venues, it seems impossible to escape  the deleterious effects of these toxic individuals?and for some  victims, even once the toxic person is no longer there!   The topic of toxic personalities at work has been long on  history but quite sparse on research. Although there are numerous  books on the subject that attempt to guide leaders? thinking and  behaviors to preserve their own sanity, Toxic Workplace  will be the first to tackle the underlying systems  issues that enable the toxic person to create a path of  destruction in the organization, often for a very long time and at  the cost of losing talented people all throughout the  organization.   The author's research has revealed the warning signs that  indicate a serious behavioral problem before months or even years  of lost productivity has resulted.  Further, they  have identified how this toxicity spreads in systems with  long-term effects on organizational climate even after the person  has left. Their two-year national research study of  approximately 500 leaders provides very specific actions that  leaders need to take to reduce both the intensity and frequency of  toxic personalities at work.  No other book provides this menu  of options from a systems perspective with practical  relevance in real work situations.
