  THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! 
   
   
  How one tenacious company found the drive to succeed--on a global scale 
   
   
  In the early 1980s, Caterpillar, Inc. lost one million dollars per day for three consecutive years. Its continuing existence came into question. Today, "CAT" is the world's most profitable manufacturer of construction and mining equipment and large engines. The now legendary global company made numerous well-calculated, though risky decisions for three consecutive decades--in the process scaling to heights unimaginable to even the finest business enterprises. 
   
   
  How did they do it? The Caterpillar Way. 
   
   
  Senior management at CAT facilitated the authors' one-year odyssey through the hallways and intriguing history of the construction industry giant. This inspiring book takes you behind the scenes with the CEOs, executive vice presidents, managers, dealers, customers, union bosses, and Wall Street analysts who were players in Caterpillar's drive to global dominance. You'll discover: 
   
   CAT's change-or-die approach to restructuring 
   
  How a local firm from central Illinois became a local firm on a global basis 
   
  The secret behind Caterpillar’s decades-long revenue explosion 
   
  How to use branding and product financing effectively 
   
  What true dedication and commitment to Six Sigma really entails 
   
  Why Caterpillar became the mecca for HR officers negotiating with unions 
   
  The authors' prediction of CAT's stock price through 2020 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  The Caterpillar Way provides essential management lessons in powerful behind-the-scenes stories. You'll learn how the Caterpillar leaders responded quickly to changing markets, allocated capital efficiently throughout the firm, and nourished a cultish team spirit that wins. Innovative leaders make game-changing decisions. 
   
   
  If any company is built to last, it's Caterpillar, Inc. With its trademark yellow trucks, cranes, machinery and engines, this home-grown manufacturer has survived more than its share of ups and downs to become the #1 industry leader of construction equipment in the world. The Caterpillar Way reveals, for the first time, the remarkable inside story, written with full access to the way CAT runs its business, from bottom to top. 
   
   
  They blaze their own trail. This is The Caterpillar Way. 
   
   
  PRAISE FOR THE CATERPILLAR WAY: 
   
   
   "The Caterpillar Way is a very sophisticated analysis of one of the great organizational stories of the past 30 years. Bouchard and Koch delve into the details of leadership, risk, and culture that allowed this company to excel. From branding to comparative advantage, this is an extraordinary example of vision and execution." -- Sam Zell, Chairman, Equity Group Investments 
   
   
  "The Caterpillar Way brings to life the progress a company can make by having a plan and sticking to it quarter by quarter and year over year. The company never stands still and has a keen focus on delivering high-quality products on time to its customers. They have been a great partner of ours for many years." -- Dave Cote, Chairman and CEO, Honeywell 
   
   
  "There's no way you can't learn from The Caterpillar Way--a classic example of how to bring strategy, structure, and culture together to drive breakthrough results." -- David C. Nova k, Chairman and CEO, Yum! Brands Inc.

  The Coming Healthcare Revolution identifies and describes five top-down macro forces and five bottom-up market forces that have sufficient strength to transform the US healthcare industry from the outside-in. The powerful macro forces are demographic determinants, funding fatigue, chronic pandemics, technological imperatives, and pro-consumer/market reforms. The equally powerful market forces are whole health, care redesign, care migration, aggregators' advantage, and empowered caregivers. Written by David Johnson and Paul Kusserow, professional healthcare advisors operating at the intersection of healthcare economics, policy, strategy, and capital formation, this book provides expert insight on how the US healthcare system is becoming cheaper, better, more balanced between prevention and treatment, easier to access, and more empowering for both frontline caregivers and consumers. 
   
   
   
  In this book, listeners will learn about factors leading to rising healthcare costs; US healthcare in comparison to other high-income countries; similarities between the US automobile industry crisis in the 1980s and today's adapt-or-die situation for healthcare providers and suppliers; and how the healthcare industry is reorganizing to decentralize delivery of whole-person health in ways that will improve health outcomes and overall societal health.

  Sick of chasing the perfect relationship, career, or bank balance? Tired of feeling like you're never "enough"? You're not alone. It's time to do something. Smart Girls Screw Up Too is the guide for a generation of women who muse about what might be possible in their careers, health, and relationships but don't know where to start or are too afraid to. 
   
   
   
  When a series of screw-ups found Bella Zanesco burnt out, depressed, and with a broken soul, she knew something had to change. Her first ports of call were the usual Band-Aids: Tinder, work, and shopping. But soon, she realized those weren't going to work. If she wanted to fix this thing, she was going to need to take extreme measures. And so she began the journey that would transform her from "Sad Girl" to "Smart Girl"; a journey that meant taking up all the things that she'd been told were good for her but she had always been too afraid, too "busy", or too lazy. 
   
   
   
  Smart Girls Screw Up Too brings together: the latest research into gut science, neuroscience, and epigenetics; ancient tribal wisdom; interviews with game changers; and insights from the author's two-year study of over 2000 women. Together with Bella, you'll embark on a series of simple daily challenges that will not only get you to the root causes of why you think, feel, and behave, but see you making changes that stick.

  Activating the Common Good -...

  Peter Block

  A powerful, inspiring, and achievable vision of a society based on cooperation and community instead of competition and commodification. 
   
  This book counters the dominant and destructive story that we are polarized, violent, selfish, and destined to consume everything in sight. That is not who we are. 
   
  The challenge, Peter Block says, is that we are suffering under an economic theology that is based on scarcity, self-interest, competition, and infinite growth. We're told we can purchase and outsource all that matters. Block calls this the "business perspective narrative." It dominates not only the economy but also architecture, faith communities, journalism, arts, neighborhoods, and much more. 
   
  Block offers an antidote:  the "common good narrative." It embodies the belief that we are basically communal and cooperative. And that we have the capacity to communally produce what we care most about: raising a child, safety, livelihood, health, and a clean and sustainable environment. 
   
  This book describes how shifts to the common good perspective could transform many areas, fostering journalism that reports on what works, architecture that designs habitable spaces creating connection, faith collectives that build community, a market that is restrained and local, and leadership and activism that build social capital by creating trust among citizens. With these shifts, we would fundamentally change the world we live in for the better.
