Summary

Project Failures tackles the widespread issue of why projects falter despite careful planning and substantial investment. It identifies inadequate planning, poor communication, and ineffective risk management as key culprits behind project mismanagement. The book emphasizes that systemic issues, rather than just technical problems or individual shortcomings, often lead to failure. For instance, unrealistic expectations can cripple planning, while a disconnect among stakeholders can stem from poor communication.

 
The book draws from decades of research and real-world experience to present actionable strategies for preventing failure. It provides a holistic approach, stressing the importance of realistic planning, transparent communication, and robust risk mitigation. The analysis blends academic research, industry reports, and case studies, offering practical solutions applicable across diverse industries.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with the core concepts of project failure, delving into specific causes like planning deficiencies and communication breakdowns, and culminating in a guide to implementing preventative measures. Unique in its emphasis on actionable strategies, Project Failures goes beyond problem identification to offer concrete solutions. It also highlights the importance of stakeholder engagement and fostering a culture of accountability.

 
By addressing organizational behavior and strategic planning, the book provides valuable insights for project managers, business leaders, and students alike, helping them enhance project success rates and learn from both successes and failures.

    AN UNFLINCHING EXPOSÉ OF MOHAMED AL-FAYED'S 25-YEAR REIGN OF TERROR AT HARRODS 
    DECADES OF ABUSE. 
    DOZENS OF VICTIMS. 
    NO CONSEQUENCES. 
    To the public, he was the eccentric owner of one of the world’s great department stores. But behind closed doors, Al-Fayed ruled with cruelty, humiliation and unchecked abuse.Why were his crimes ignored?Why did those in power look the other way? 
    This explosive investigation lays bare the power, corruption and complicity at the heart of an iconic British institution. 
    Drawing on firsthand interviews with former staff, allies, executives and police officers, The Monster of Harrods exposes chilling accounts of misconduct, many revealed here for the first time. Through court records, testimonies and unpublished material, the book uncovers:The irreparable damage to victims’ livesThe NDAs, threats and systemic failures that kept them silentThe staggering indifference of those who knew but did nothing 
    This isn’t just about one man’s abuse of power – it’s about the culture that enabled him. The Monster of Harrods presents damning new evidence, and asks urgent questions of the people and institutions who stood by. 
    Ultimately, this is a book about courage – the courage of the survivors who have stepped forward to reclaim their narratives from a man who tried to reduce them to objects. Their testimony stands as both an indictment of the past and a warning for the future. 
    Their bravery demands nothing less than our complete attention. 
    'The extraordinary courage of these survivors, who, despite everything, were willing to relive their trauma in hope of finally being heard, should not be underestimated. Many have waited decades for acknowledgement, carrying their wounds in silence while their abuser was celebrated.' 
    This non-fiction true investigation reads with the force of a biography, exposing how business interests and political connexions protected criminals for years. By confronting sexual assault and violence head-on, it reveals what society loses when social power is allowed to operate without consequence. 
    For fans of Jonny Wilkinson (Jonny), Trystan Bevan (Our Race), and Rachel Murphy (Loose Head).

    Decades before the business world discovered the power of authentic staff engagement, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters cofounder Bob Stiller was busy creating a company with a mission to build an engaged workforce focused on innovation. In the end, Green Mountain became a place where people realized they could make a difference, where their input mattered, where they were rewarded fairly, and where they can grow. 
     
     
     
    Green Mountain Coffee Roasters went public, moved to selling wholesale exclusively, invested in Keurig, and became one of the few coffee companies to ever reach $1 billion in sales. It became one of the top-performing stocks of the 1990s on the Nasdaq exchange, and from 1995 to 2015, its stock had a 70 percent compounded annual rate of growth. 
     
     
     
    In Better and Better, Stiller explains how he did it, from donating five percent pretax net income to environmental and social causes, with employees deciding how donations would be used; to paying employees to volunteer in their own communities; to providing much-needed loans to small farms. 
     
     
     
    With Better and Better, you'll learn how to use optimism, self-awareness, and kindness to build an inclusive and cherished workplace culture.

    Good to Growing: The Proven System to Scale Your Business for Massive and Sustainable Growth 
    You've built something that works - a real business with real customers and positive cash flow. But growth? That's another story. 
    Maybe you've hit a ceiling. The more you push, the harder it gets. The systems that once worked are breaking, your team is stretched thin, and your days are consumed by putting out fires. You know there's a better way - you just need a clear path forward. 
    That's where Good to Growing comes in. 
    Author and entrepreneur Scott Winters has distilled decades of business-building experience into a practical, five-stage system called the Quantum Leap Success Model (QLSM) - designed to take your company from stuck to scalable. 
    Through this framework, you'll learn how to:Evaluate your business honestly - and see where growth is really hiding.Resolve weaknesses before they become fatal.Model your business to align with your vision and goals.Scale with systems that create sustainable momentum.Execute with discipline, measuring what matters most. 
    Each stage builds on the one before it, combining analytical precision with real-world pragmatism. Along the way, you'll get worksheets, checklists, and decision tools that turn insight into immediate action - no theory, no fluff, no consultants required. 
    Unlike most "growth" books that overwhelm you with jargon or assume unlimited resources, Good to Growing meets you where you are - a leader balancing ambition with reality. It's written for the entrepreneurs who don't just want to grow bigger, but grow better - with clarity, control, and confidence. 
    By the end, you won't just understand how to scale. You'll have a repeatable blueprint to do it - again and again.

    The church has done a great job teaching us how to give, but a poor job teaching us how to earn. There is a mindset throughout much of the church that money is evil. In Genesis 2:11-12, God tells us there is gold in the land (Garden of Eden), and the gold was good. Money isn’t bad, greed is. In 1 Timothy 6:10, we learn that the love of money is the root of all evil.   
    I have a background in ministry, and now I’m an entrepreneur. We are able to do more good for the Kingdom with money than without. 
    In this book you are going to discover what God really says about money and finances. You are also going to learn the exact steps I used to build a lifestyle business that generates multi-millions in revenue per year while I only work as little as 5 hours per week. 
    You will also learn:Money isn’t bad, greed isWe are called to love God and love people.We can love people by serving them and helping them solve their problems.Your business should be used to serve others.How to use your business to grow God’s kingdom.What the Bible says about sales.How to close more sales.How to create irresistible offers.The P5 Formula: the exact framework I used to build a multimillion dollar company working whenever and wherever I want.And more. 
    My goal in this book is to give you permission to prosper and allow God to download business ideas into you that will change your life, as well as the lives of others. If you are a business owner, or have ever felt like you may want to start a business, this book is for you.
