  What do the best leaders have in common? As president of MAP, John Manning should know. MAP has helped tens of thousands of top executives accelerate their leadership and management performance. Manning says the answer is one word: discipline. But for Manning, discipline has a very specific meaning. All leaders have scores of things they could do. But a disciplined leader is one who identifies and focuses on the Vital Few: the 20 percent of activities that will drive 80 percent of the results. And the results that are most important are those tied to the organization's most precious asset: its people.The Disciplined Leader offers fifty-two succinct lessons to help you home in on your own Vital Few in three critical areas: leading yourself, leading your team, and leading your organization. Each lesson comes with recommended tactics and practical “Take Action!” tips for implementing it, so there are literally hundreds of pieces of must-know, time-tested advice here. The chapters are self-contained, so you can read them in any order and come back to the ones that resonate with you—your own Vital Few! This is a hands-on, nuts-and-bolts guide to leadership practice that's built to inspire action, drive change, and achieve results.

  Wink and Grow Rich is the fable about a boy being raised by his carpenter father, who is both sick and tired. In fact, he is tired of being sick and sick of being tired. Every day for the last 20 years the carpenter has visited the Well of Wealth and spent a dollar, because it is generally accepted by the townsfolk that if they give generously to the Well, it will in turn give generously to them. On this day, the carpenter is so ill that he is unable to visit the Well, so he entrusts his nine-year-old son, Richard, with a crumpled but treasured dollar and sends him in his place. 
  Along the way, Richard discovers that the Well of Wealth is not where he thought it would be, so he follows a different, more overgrown path, on which he meets an old woman, an optometrist, a plumber, a gardener, a fisherman, a rower, a musician, and an innkeeper. These intriguing and mysterious characters act as guides for Richard and share their wisdom. They have all built their wealth in very different ways, yet there is something about each that is common to all. 
  The story is intended to make the listener think more deeply about the dynamics of wealth creation. The keys to wealth are contained in the story behind the story, the lesson behind the lesson. To find these keys, the listener needs to become better at "seeing"—a philosophy the author sums up as, "What you see is always what you get."

  Social Nation describes how businesses can engage customers,  employees, suppliers, and shareholders in a mutually beneficial  alliance by creating a well-designed and managed portfolio of  social media initiatives. This portfolio can deliver dramatic  results, spurring innovation, improving product design, raising  employee productivity, lifting retention rates for all  stakeholders, and boosting sales and profitability.   Aside from rewards, there are risks to be considered. This book  gives readers practical guidance, for example warning against the  temptation to engage in social media as a quick-fix marketing or  public-relations gimmick.   Distilling the cumulative experience of hundreds of  professionals and customers, the book offers 100 concise,  experience-based prescriptions to help readers consider how they  can best use social media to realize their goals. Compelling case  histories and anecdotes illuminate and entertain.  Topics include:    Create solid platforms: build a seamless, integrated  community platform. The unconnected piecemeal approach can create a  communications problem.  Get registration right: convince community members to  register and provide the personal information you need--without  annoying them.  Take the measure of Twitter: members of Twitter are not  the captive old-media audiences of television and radio; they have  to be wooed. Humanize your business.  Moderate, dont censor: an online community  reflects on its sponsors public image. Monitor the content  it shares without censoring freedom and unpredictability.

  Bottom of the Food Chain - A...

  It’s time we start looking at career success differently. 
  Perhaps you have heard the expression, “I’m at the bottom of the food chain.” This phrase is often used as reference to a person’s lack of power in the workplace or social group. And if you look at power and success in careers, the goal is typically to climb to the top and become a titan of the industry. 
  But does the top of the food chain hold all the power? Success? What if I told you that some of the most powerful people, right now, are at the bottom?  
  With a nature-based lens focused on careers, this book explores the power of lower-level positions in the workplace. For so long we’ve missed it.  
  You may not have “big wins” and all your career aspirations may not become your reality, but that doesn’t mean you are inadequate or that your value is reduced. Even the most seemingly minor actions, can contribute to something greater. 
  If you are exhausted from the efforts of trying to reach the top and feel like you failed because others around you have succeed in their careers in ways that you only dream of, take a break, and read this book. I’m not saying it's time to give up on your dreams, but it is time to see yourself for power that you have!
