The Creative Entrepreneur #1 - The Creative Entrepreneur #1

Beth Ann Erickson

Summary

What do successful creative entrepreneurs do? The answer may surprise you.   
You may have read the books, attended seminars, studied the craft. But if your version of success is still eluding you, it's time for something different. Real different. 
Here you'll find nuts and bolts, how-to information, inner work exercises, and insider biz secrets. This unique book blows the lid off the deceptively simple recipe for freelance success. Examples: 
~  You control only one thing in this biz. Find out what it is inside. 
~  Discover a dominant trait most creative-types possess. Outsiders may find it irritating, but it's essential. 
~  Ferret out behavior patterns that serve you, that hinder you, and how to harness their power. 
~  Discover how the concept of “soaking” can improve your creativity. 
~  Check out the “Tale of Two Writers.” Heed the message or suffer the consequences. 
~  Earning the big bucks is great. But this is way better. (Plus, if you do this, the big bucks will follow.) 
~  If you don't tend to this, you're sunk. It's not what you probably think.  
~  What's more powerful than competence? The answer's inside these pages. 
   Beth Ann Erickson is a decades long freelancer (since 1995), publisher of Writing Etc., the free zine for Creative Entrepreneurs, copywriter, author, and Internet Marketing expert. You can connect with her at FilbertPublishing.com.

Expansive Leadership -...

Latha Poonamallee PhD, Dr. Ram...

The structured twenty-eight-day mindfulness and contemplative journey presented in this book will help aspiring and current leaders to clarify their identities, and identify and reflect on their mental models to become more expansive leaders.The present moment demands new ways of being, doing, and relating with the world. To meet this moment, we need fresh, collective, inclusive, and interdependent models of leadership and new approaches to leadership development. This book goes beyond the "McMindfulness" often seen in mindful leadership books, to offer a multi-faceted approach to develop a more interconnected sense of self and interdependence-centric mindsets needed for expansive leadership, through mindfulness practice. Through this practice, leaders can cultivate the ability to make deliberate choices using slow thinking and overcome any unconscious and implicit biases that are the result of fast-thinking processes. Anchored in insights from over ten years of teaching mindfulness-based leadership development courses, this book is an invitation to explore how to be a leader in an expansive, inclusive, robust, and resilient way. The listener will have an opportunity to define and refine their identity, uncover their personal mental models, and conclude by developing their own leadership philosophy.

Team Management Crash Course

Introbooks Team

In the team management process, all the employees are responsible for becoming a successful business manager. One of the most vital components of effective team management is the development of the balanced score or objective achievement by every team. These objectives should be including the overall business as well as the customer satisfaction or the measures of financial processes.  
Under any team management process, the teams in an organization should be empowered towards making decisions related to their portion of the business instead of merely making any recommendations to some higher levels of authority. While the structuring of the team might be able to change and people will be serving on various teams, the teams should be observed as some permanent fixture in the given organization, and not as some kind of temporary answer to any quality problem or business crisis.

Remote Work Revolution -...

Tsedal Neeley

“I often talk about the importance of trust when it comes to work: the trust of your employees and building trust with your customers. This book provides a blueprint for how to build and maintain that trust and connection in a digital environment.” —Eric S. Yuan, founder and CEO of Zoom
A Harvard Business School professor and leading expert in virtual and global work provides remote workers and leaders with the best practices necessary to perform at the highest levels in their organizations.

The rapid and unprecedented changes brought on by Covid-19 have accelerated the transition to remote working, requiring the wholesale migration of nearly entire companies to virtual work in just weeks, leaving managers and employees scrambling to adjust. This massive transition has forced companies to rapidly advance their digital footprint, using cloud, storage, cybersecurity, and device tools to accommodate their new remote workforce.
Experiencing the benefits of remote working—including nonexistent commute times, lower operational costs, and a larger pool of global job applicants—many companies, including Twitter and Google, plan to permanently incorporate remote days or give employees the option to work from home full-time. But virtual work has it challenges. Employees feel lost, isolated, out of sync, and out of sight. They want to know how to build trust, maintain connections without in-person interactions, and a proper work/life balance. Managers want to know how to lead virtually, how to keep their teams motivated, what digital tools they’ll need, and how to keep employees productive.
Providing compelling, evidence-based answers to these and other pressing issues, Remote Work Revolution is essential for navigating the enduring challenges teams and managers face. Filled with specific actionable steps and interactive tools, this timely book will help team members deliver results previously out of reach. Following Neeley’s advice, employees will be able to break through routine norms to successfully use remote work to benefit themselves, their groups, and ultimately their organizations.
