Beschreibung

Post-it Notes Stick explores the fascinating journey of the Post-it Note, an invention arising from a "failed" adhesive. The book examines how 3M's corporate culture, particularly its "15% time" for independent projects, fostered innovation. It also reveals the pivotal role of marketing in creating a need for the product, transforming it into a global office staple. 

 
The book explains how a low-tack adhesive initially deemed useless, combined with persistent marketing, led to a ubiquitous product. The book meticulously details the science behind the adhesive, the internal struggles to champion the product, and the marketing strategies that propelled Post-it Notes to success. Readers gain insights into how a supportive corporate environment and individual ingenuity converged.

 
The narrative unfolds chronologically, starting with the invention of the unique adhesive, its accidental discovery as a bookmark solution, and finally, its lasting impact on communication and organization across various sectors. Post-it Notes Stick offers a valuable perspective on how corporate culture and serendipity, can lead to a globally successful product. By examining internal 3M documents and marketing materials, the book presents a unique case study in business history and technology.

 
This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, business, and the remarkable stories behind everyday innovations.

The American Dream - A History...

Harry Montgomery

The roots of the American Dream reach back to the earliest colonial settlements, when European settlers arrived with hopes of building a better life far from the constraints of their homelands. For many, the New World offered something previously unimaginable—land ownership, religious freedom, and the possibility of rising above the station into which they were born. These opportunities, though limited to a select group at the time, laid the foundation for the evolving idea that anyone could succeed through hard work and determination. In this fertile but dangerous land, ambition was a necessity, and the early colonists began to shape a cultural identity around individualism and perseverance.
As the colonies grew and developed, tensions with Britain intensified, giving rise to revolutionary ideas that would further fuel the American Dream. The rejection of monarchy and the assertion of natural rights became central to the vision of a new nation. The Revolution itself was not just a fight for independence but also a declaration that ordinary people had the right to govern themselves. The rhetoric of the time emphasized liberty, equality, and the pursuit of happiness—concepts that would become permanently embedded in the national consciousness. The struggle to gain freedom was brutal and uneven, but the ideals expressed during this time continued to inspire generations to believe in the possibility of social mobility and personal fulfillment.
One of the most significant documents in American history, the Declaration of Independence, formalized the promise of the American Dream. Its bold claim that "all men are created equal" introduced a national aspiration that transcended the immediate political conflict. Although in practice this equality was far from realized, the statement set a powerful ideal against which future Americans would measure their progress.

Lead Like a Marine - Run Towards...

John Warren, Jon Thompson

A NATIONAL BESTSELLER
The U.S. Marines Corps is the greatest fighting force on the planet, but it’s so much more than that: it’s a factory for producing first-rate leaders, problem-solvers, and innovators.
In 2006, John Warren and John Thompson led Marines into combat in the world’s most dangerous city: Ramadi, Iraq. But when they got home, employers didn’t understand what they had to offer. Undeterred, they founded their own specialty mortgage company, growing it from scratch into a national powerhouse over the course of a decade.
When the two decorated veterans applied the values and training of the U.S. Marine Corps to build a thriving business, they defied corporate America’s expectations. That’s because they realized that, far from producing mindless drones, the Corps trains its warriors in adaptability, initiative, and courage—ideal traits for anyone in leadership.
In Lead Like a Marine, Warren and Thompson lay out the simple, universal rules that helped them succeed, from valuing grit and potential over pedigree, to condensing large groups into resilient “fireteams,” to cross-training team members so that anyone can step up to the plate in a crisis. While the corporate world is mired in maintaining the status quo, respecting status, and flattering ego, Warren and Thompson stripped away the fat that prevents organizations from innovating and excelling.
Full of smart, actionable advice, gripping combat stories, and entrepreneurial lessons, this book will give you the tools and the training you need to truly lead like a Marine.
