Summary

Corporate Minds explores the core elements that distinguish thriving corporations from those that falter, dissecting the strategies and decision-making processes of influential corporate leaders throughout history. The book focuses on three pillars: strategic vision, risk management, and organizational dynamics, presenting case studies to highlight their importance. Understanding how leaders anticipate market trends, manage risks under pressure, and build effective teams is key to long-term success.

 
The book examines various leadership styles, including Alfred Sloan's decentralized management at General Motors and Akio Morita's innovation-driven approach at Sony. Analyzing these leaders' backgrounds, the challenges they faced, and the outcomes of their strategies offers valuable insights. It argues that successful corporate leadership isn't about innate talent but learnable skills, emphasizing adaptability and the importance of context in applying different approaches.

 
The book progresses by first introducing core concepts, then delving into specific leadership styles, and finally synthesizing insights into a practical guide for contemporary business settings. It provides tools for assessing organizational strengths, strategic planning frameworks, and techniques for fostering innovation and ethical decision-making, making it valuable for business students, entrepreneurs, and corporate managers alike.

    Learn how to perform at your very best, from the psychologist who has advised elite military operators, Olympic medalists, big wave surfers, neurosurgeons, cliff divers, first responders, Cirque du Soleil acrobats, professional athletes and coaches, Fortune 500 business executives, and CIA analysts.   
Learned Excellence is a comprehensive and practical guide to the mental disciplines of high performance, from the expert who developed the US Navy SEALs mental toughness curriculum and has worked with thousands of top athletes, elite military personnel, business executives, and first responders.  
These stars perform across a wide variety of fields, but they all have something in common: when they are at work they know how to think clearly, stay focused, and shrug off setbacks under very high levels of stress. They may have superb physical and intellectual traits, but it is the stuff going on above the neck and between the ears that makes them excellent. The difference between settling and achieving, between good and great, between contentment and fulfillment, is based entirely on their mental approach.  
This approach isn’t innate; it is 100% learned. The world’s top performers aren’t born that way, they learn excellence. So can everyone else, and Dr. Eric Potterat can teach us.  
One of the world’s leading performance psychologists and a retired US Navy Commander, Dr. Potterat has spent over three decades helping thousands of top performers from the military, sports, first responder, and business worlds improve. He served as the lead psychologist for the US Navy SEALs and the Los Angeles Dodgers, and has consulted with the US Women’s National Soccer team, the Miami Heat, Red Bull athletes, NASA astronauts, and dozens of Olympic medalists. 
In Learned Excellence, Eric distills the insights he’s learned into five mental disciplines for high performance—Values & Goals, Mindset, Process, Adversity Tolerance, and Balance & Recovery. Illustrated with numerous stories and quotes, Learned Excellence features clear principles and practices that anyone can use to raise their game.  
We are all performers, at work, at school, at home, and at life. Learned Excellence provides the roadmap to help each of us perform at our very best.

    Many Wall Street analysts have attempted since the crisis to  rebrand themselves as economists when it became clear  that macro forces are driving the markets.  Todays  world is not a textbook case study, however, and it cannot be  explained by conventional economics.  Depth of experience,  breadth of economic knowledge, and objectivity are required to  think critically about the future.  It is impossible to offer  a single investment solution since the path ahead depends upon  policy decisions yet to be made; however, investors can draw  on the experiences of prior credit-driven deleveraging cycles to  develop a dynamic framework for investing in an era of economic  uncertainty.   In this book, the authors discuss the importance of  macroeconomic evaluation in this new unstable global economy,  including fascinating anecdotes from Francois' time at Bear  Stearns prior to its collapse and sale. The authors go on to  cover in-depth the three possible future scenarios: severe  inflation, severe deflation, or a kind of muddling through.   With each scenario they discuss the likely causes and  consequences as well as the best strategies for profitable  investing.  The book concludes with a summary of the future of  the financial industry

    Barons - Money Power and the...

    Barons is the story of seven corporate titans, their rise to power, and the consequences for everyone else. Take Mike McCloskey, chairman of Fair Oaks Farms. In a few short decades, he went from managing a modest dairy herd to running the Disneyland of agriculture. Mike benefited from deregulation of the American food industry, a phenomenon that has consolidated wealth in the hands of select tycoons, and along the way, hollowed out the nation's rural towns and local businesses. 
 
 
 
Along with Mike McCloskey, listeners will meet a secretive German family that took over the global coffee industry in less than a decade, relying on wealth traced back to the Nazis to gobble up countless independent roasters. And they will learn that in the food business, crime really does pay—especially when you can bribe and then double-cross the president of Brazil. 
 
 
 
These, and the other stories in this book, are simply examples of the monopolies and ubiquitous corruption that today define American food. The tycoons profiled are hardly unique: many other companies have manipulated our lax laws and failed policies for their own benefit, to the detriment of our neighborhoods, livelihoods, and our democracy itself. A fair, healthy, and prosperous food industry is possible—if we take back power from the barons who have robbed us of it.
