Grow Through Disruption - Breakthrough Mindsets to Innovate Change and Win with the OGI

Brett Richards

Summary

In today's market, where speed and performance are critical to success, CEOs and executives face an unprecedented number of challenges to continue differentiating themselves from competitors. At the same time, current methods of understanding and assessing an organization's true ability to grow through innovation and transformation are outdated.
In Grow Through Disruption: Breakthrough Mindsets to Innovate, Change and Win with the O.G.I. Dr. Brett Richards, PhD, a seasoned practitioner and researcher with over 20 years of experience in the area of individual and organizational effectiveness, offers a new, comprehensive system for 21st century companies to measure growth and adapt to the changing business landscape.
Some of the most important data to an organization's success is invisible and intangible, making it very difficult for leaders to make decisions based on what is really happening. In response, Dr. Richards developed the Organizational Growth Indicator (O.G.I.), a system of quantifable metrics to shed light on these previously hidden factors.
The OGI enables leaders to make even more intelligent strategic decisions and, ultimately, strengthen their businesses by codifying:
4 Principal Mindsets that uncover previously hidden people and culture dynamics,
The Transformation Wheel, consisting of 8 Orientations that both support and constrain an organization's ability to grow through disruption, and
The organization's capacity to achieve growth through innovation and adaptive change.
Harnessing decades of experience and system development, Grow Through Disruption is an essential read for heads of global corporations to leaders of small and midsize businesses to develop more vibrant, fulflling and lasting organizations.

The Mary Kay Way - Timeless...

Mary Kay Ash

A revised and updated edition of the cosmetics icon’s timeless guide to entrepreneurial success, featuring her people-centered business philosophy. Mary Kay Ash built a global independent sales force that today numbers 1.8 million women, and is respected by business and academic leaders. How? The secret is in this book. For forty-five years, the principles in The Mary Kay Way have helped the company succeed through changing economic times and explosive global growth. It has been said that no company wholeheartedly embodies the values and reflects the beliefs of its founder more than Mary Kay Inc. Now you can put the same inspiring principles to work for you. Recognized today as America’s greatest woman entrepreneur, Mary Kay Ash stepped out in 1963 in a man’s world to blaze a new path for women. She grew her business based not on the rules of competition, but on The Golden Rule. By “praising people to success” and “sandwiching every bit of criticism between two heavy layers of praise,” this energetic Texas titan opened new opportunities for women around the world and built a multibillion-dollar corporation. Mary Kay’s unconventional business philosophy was first published in 1984. Now revised and updated for the first time, with examples from her company’s top independent salespeople, The Mary Kay Way is perhaps her most important legacy. Praise for The Mary Kay Way“One of the most inspiring entrepreneurial leaders, Mary Kay always understood the importance of people and the value they can bring to an organization.” —J. W. Marriott, Jr., Chairman and CEO, Marriott International, Inc.“Mary Kay knew that when you put people first and then surround them with processes and disciplines that recognize their efforts, performance will soar.” —David C. Novak, Chairman and CEO, Yum! Brands, Inc. (KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Long John Silver’s, A&W)

Leading Well - A Black Woman's...

Jeanne Porter King

A Black Woman's Guide to Effective, Barrier-Breaking LeadershipBlack women in leadership positions often experience resistance, both from external forces and from within. If you are a leader in your profession, community, or church, you may have been made to feel like an outsider—someone who must prove herself again and again to be worthy of following. Maybe you're tired, resentful, or beaten-down by the sense that you'll just never be good enough for some people.Take heart and take a seat at the table with Jeanne Porter King. Drawing from the biblical account of the Samaritan woman at the well, King shows how this outsider and outcast has been reduced to a stereotype by the same racist and sexist forces that attempt to reduce you to a stereotype and hinder your God-given call to leadership. She then shows how God uniquely positioned and equipped her to lead her people to the truth despite attempts to keep her silent and small.If you long to lead from a strong spiritual core rather than a set of expectations you had no part in setting, this book offers you the inspiration, encouragement, and practical tools to make leading well a reality in your life.
