  After state capture, South Africa is f*cked not in a good place. The system is down. How do we reboot?
  
  Our is not the first country to find itself in a difficult spot. China, India, South Korea, Vietnam and many others have gone from being economic basket cases to powerhouses, lifting millions out of poverty. So how can we pick ourselves up and fix things? In this book, Roy Havemann argues that right now we need to focus on six basic 'E's: Eskom, Education, Environment, Exports, Equality, and Ethics.
  
  Havemann lays out how we can practically bring in lessons from other countries and learn from their achievements and mistakes, for example, how China, Greece and Colombia solved load-shedding, how different South American countries are dealing with inequality and how Brazil and Kenya are upgrading their education systems.
  He shows that we are slowly moving in the right direction. Our own 'Operation Vulindlela' delivery unit, which is a joint initiative of the Presidency and the Treasury, is implementing change where it's needed but more can be done to accelerate reforms to make South Africa a success. Sometimes the solutions to our problems are right here in our very own country – all that is needed is for us to recognise and harness them.

  You know that winning in today's marketplace requires top-quality talent. You also know what it takes to build that talent. Yet somehow, your company's beautifully designed and well-benchmarked processes don't translate into the bottom-line talent depth you need. Why? 
   
   
   
  Talent management experts Marc Effron and Miriam Ort argue that companies unwittingly add layers of complexity to their talent-building models. Consequently, simple activities like setting employee performance goals become multi-page, headache-inducing time wasters that turn managers off and fail to improve results. 
   
   
   
  Effron and Ort introduce a simple, powerful, scientifically proven approach to increase your ability to develop better leaders faster: One Page Talent Management (OPTM). Using the straightforward, easy-to-follow process described in this book, you will eliminate frustrating complexity, focus only on those components that add real value, and build transparency and accountability into every practice. One Page Talent Management shows you how to quickly identify high-potential talent without complex assessments; increase the number of "ready now" successors for key roles; generate 360-degree feedback that accelerates change in the most critical behaviors; and significantly reduce the time required for managers to implement talent-building processes.
