  Evidence suggests that only about 10% of start-ups and 30% of entrepreneurs make it beyond 5 years. Methods for control and leadership in the start-up or early growth stages are wildly different from those needed to successfully manage a complex organization consisting of multiple departments, divisions, product lines, or geographic spread. To succeed, business leaders should be aware of which stage their organization is in, the characteristics of the current stage, and the characteristics of the next stage. This book explores various common patterns of management styles and then offers transition strategies to help managers to succeed in the digital economy. The authors guide leaders to prepare for these transitions by laying the foundations or infrastructure needed to prevent a crisis that inhibits further growth. They also provide leaders with a greater understanding of the growth framework, which will help leaders to manage better the development of their companies.

  Sure, being the best sounds great. But simply being the best is no longer enough to position you at the front of the pack. You also need to be perceived as being the best.And that's why Perception is so important.With this book, authors Franziska Iseli and Christo Hall show you how to harness the power of perception to achieve success - whether you are leading a small business, trying to climb the career ladder, or simply working to achieve greater success in relationships and improve your personal life.Perception is a book about how to do marketing right for small businesses and solo-entrepreneurs by focusing on what makes you stand out. Rather than pushing business owners to spend more money on brochures or advertising or marketing campaigns, Perception will teach you how your prospects think and make buying decisions. You must master how customers and prospects perceive you and your business because it doesn't matter how many flyers you print or how much you spend on ads if your message doesn't fit. If the perception you are generating doesn't resonate with your prospects and reflect the true value you offer, no one will buy from you (and you'll waste a lot of money on advertising that doesn't work).The approach we take is first and foremost to get crystal clear on how you want to be perceived by your ideal customers and prospects. You sure don't want your competitors or anyone else to be defining how you are perceived (anyone remember the Pepsi - Coca Cola challenge?). And, even worse, you don't want your prospects to have no perception of you at all!Perception teaches you to take charge: to define and then create the perception of you or your business that will lead you to the lasting success you desire.Perception is for small business owners and entrepreneurs who want to grow quickly by creating a clear, authentic message and brand strategy.

  A week-by-week account of the COVID-19 pandemic through the eyes of a different kind of health care front line worker—a marketing leader—at one of the nation’s and world’s leading health care systems.  
  "This candid collection of daily emails from a health industry insider offers a unique glimpse at the daily realities of working during Covid. From pandemic fatigue to staycations and Thanksgivings on Zoom, these stories will take you back to a time you might want to forget. Despite the understandable urge to leave the pandemic behind, Comeau proves that sometimes looking back can not only be therapeutic ... it might offer exactly the perspective we all need to continue to move forward too."  
  - Rohit Bhargava, WSJ Bestselling Author of Non-Obvious Thinking + Non-Obvious Megatrends 
  During the early stages of coronavirus, Amy Moudy Comeau, MBA, an award-winning and acclaimed marketing executive, began writing weekly emails to her Emory Healthcare marketing team every Friday, as a form of encouragement and support to get them through eight weeks of shelter-in-place, which turned into a three-year pandemic. 
  Amy’s Friday emails became a weekly tradition, providing support and even levity during this transformational time. Years later, these time-stamped entries, along with present-day commentary from the author giving insight and hindsight reflections on the pandemic, leadership, self-care and marketing, provide a unique snapshot back into those “unprecedented” days of the pandemic.  
  Every Storm Runs Out of Rain gives insightful lessons on leadership and resilience, and finding the silver lining in the middle of a crisis.

It is designed to bring out your leadership and decision-making based on your own realities. Each chapter has a personal story along my career/life journey that exemplifies calculated decisions that have had an impact in my life. Hopefully the stories will provide a backdrop for individuals to examine their own journey in decision making. 
  The book Calculated Risk is constructed to provide elements of decision-making while posing questions to assist one’s reflection on how you have made decisions in life, career and leadership. The reflective questions will prompt a metacognitive analysis of how you view situations; your environment, and experiences thus allowing for better decision-making in high-stakes contexts going forward. 
  The frame that will assist in your analysis I call “CRISP” Decisions. A CRISP decision is not a process, but rather the elements that make up a calculated decision. A CRISP decision can happen quickly and instinctively or thoughtfully and strategically. I have found characteristics that enhance a CRISP decision. Each chapter highlights a characteristic to support the attitude needed in goal-oriented decisions. Your key takeaways from this book will be:

  Venezuela - Economic Crises and...

  Venezuela’s history is one of dramatic shifts, from its early days as a Spanish colony to its emergence as one of the world’s largest oil producers. The country’s vast natural resources positioned it as a regional economic powerhouse, yet mismanagement, political instability, and external pressures have contributed to repeated cycles of crisis. Today, Venezuela stands as a cautionary tale of how wealth, when poorly managed, can lead to economic collapse and social turmoil. Understanding the nation’s historical trajectory is essential to grasping its current struggles and the possibilities for recovery.  
    
  Venezuela’s path to independence followed the broader wave of Latin American liberation movements. Gaining independence from Spain in 1821 under the leadership of Simón Bolívar, the country initially experienced political turbulence as it transitioned from colonial rule. The 19th and early 20th centuries were marked by military dictatorships and internal conflicts, preventing the establishment of a stable government. However, the discovery of vast oil reserves in the early 20th century would drastically reshape Venezuela’s economic and political landscape.  
    
  With the discovery of oil in the 1910s, Venezuela saw rapid economic expansion, attracting foreign investment and transforming Caracas into one of the most modern cities in Latin America. By the mid-20th century, the nation was one of the wealthiest in the region, boasting a growing middle class and infrastructure that rivaled its neighbors. Yet, with prosperity came vulnerability. The economy became overwhelmingly dependent on oil revenues, leaving it exposed to fluctuations in global energy markets. Instead of using its wealth to diversify industries and strengthen institutions, successive governments spent recklessly, often prioritizing short-term political gains over long-term stability.
