Summary

Sneaker Market Boom explores the remarkable journey of sneakers from functional athletic wear to coveted collector's items and potent symbols of fashion and status. This evolution is driven by design innovation, strategic business decisions, and profound cultural influences, creating a multi-billion-dollar market. The book argues that the current sneaker market boom is a carefully constructed ecosystem, fueled by collaborations, limited releases, and digital marketing, rather than a mere trend.

 
The book's approach is interdisciplinary, blending design, business, and sociology to provide a comprehensive understanding. Readers will discover how early endorsements by sports icons like basketball players paved the way for signature sneaker lines and how advancements in materials and manufacturing enhanced both performance and aesthetic appeal. The business side dissects marketing strategies and the impact of "hype" on resale platforms. The cultural impact explores how sneakers have become a form of self-expression within hip-hop and youth culture.

 
The book progresses across chapters, first by examining design and technology, then dissecting the business of sneakers, and finally analyzing its cultural impact. Evidence is drawn from archival materials, interviews, case studies, and market research, offering practical knowledge for students, enthusiasts, and industry professionals interested in the sneaker industry, consumer culture, and the forces shaping contemporary fashion and business.

    Stand aside, we’re coming through! 
    That’s the cry of a new generation of technology vendors. They have a new approach to enabling success for their customers. And they’re thriving as a result. 
    These vendors all have subscription pricing at the heart of their business. Each has learned that if customers don’t feel they’ve had success, recurring revenue doesn’t grow and may even decline.  
    What makes them different? They have absolute clarity about what the customer considers success to be. And they’ve built their business around enabling that success. They know it’s the outcomes for the customer that count. They’re all members of the Outcome Generation. 
    This book shows how to join the Outcome Generation. You’ll learn how to leverage true customer success at every stage of the customer lifecycle. For existing customers, you’ll learn how to engage customer executives at the start of the buying cycle—and often create a buying cycle. 
    You’ll learn how to increase new business (new logo) sales by selling outcomes. And exactly what type of outcome to sell. You’ll create greater emotional connections, differentiate from the competition and win more business. 
    You’ll also learn how to evolve Services and Support to focus on enabling true customer success, and how that’s producing great references. 
    And Marketing will have a whole new way of attracting attention, creating interest and engaging prospects. 
    Most vendors have evolved past solution-selling and its approaches to marketing, sales, services and support. The Outcome Generation shows how to align the whole business around a common theme—enabling outcomes the customers regard as success. And why that allows vendors to thrive!

    Organizations are becoming more fluid and chaotic than ever before. Many leaders face deeply destabilizing experiences at a younger age than in the past. Popular writing on leadership transitions assumes that leaders are simply instruments of the business, and that the task of transitioning into a new role is primarily a task of becoming an even more useful instrument. Leadership Transition is the first attempt to bring lessons from post-trauma growth research into the realm of leadership development. The book is for leaders who are undergoing significant transitions in their work, either because they’ve been promoted to new positions or because their organizations are changing in important ways. It is a guide to help these leaders use uncomfortable and sometimes involuntary disruptions in their work to re-examine their leadership, to explore their values, think creatively about the difference they want to make, and, ultimately, to grow.

    Award-winning, bestselling author Scott Mautz defines mental strength as the ability to self-regulate emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to achieve exceptional outcomes, despite adversity. It's the leadership superpower of our times. Mentally strong leaders are in control of themselves and their environment; they have endurance, are disciplined, and external stressors make their decision-making sharper. 
     
     
     
    The Mentally Strong Leader gives listeners a mental exercise plan to become such a leader. Listeners will walk away with a menu of over fifty proven tools they can choose from to build a tailored set of habits in six areas that will make them mentally stronger: fortitude, decision-making, confidence, goal-focus, boldness, and messaging. 
     
      
     
    Inspired by Mautz's hit LinkedIn Learning course, "10 Habits of Mentally Strong People," his twenty-five years leading some of Procter & Gamble's multi-billion-dollar businesses, and over thirty years of studying this topic, The Mentally Strong Leader relies on data and research, habit-building science, and practical tools and exercises to create enduring understandings for listeners. Mautz begins with an explanation of the power of mental strength and offers a Mental Strength Self-Assessment. He finishes by providing a Mental Action Plan (MAP) to help listeners create their own, tailored practice.
