  How We Give Now - A...

  In How We Give Now, Lucy Bernholz shows that philanthropy is more than writing a check and claiming a tax deduction. For most of us—the non-wealthy givers—philanthropy can be a way of living our values and fully participating in society. We give in all kinds of ways—shopping at certain businesses, canvassing for candidates, donating money, and making conscious choices with our retirement funds. We give our cash, our time, and even our data to make the world a better place.Donating our digitized personal data is an emerging form of philanthropy, and Bernholz describes safe, equitable, and effective ways of doing so—giving genetic data for medical research through a nonprofit genetics organization rather than a commercial one, for example, or contributing photographs to an online archive like the Densho Digital Repository, which documents America's internment of 120,000 Americans of Japanese descent. Bernholz tells us to "follow the money," however, when we're asked to "add a dollar" to our total at the cash register, or when we buy a charity-branded product; it's more effective to give directly than to give while shopping.Giving is a form of participation. Philanthropy by the rest of us—across geographies and cultural traditions—begins with and builds on active commitment to our communities.

  Corporate Culture and Performance

  Going far beyond previous empirical work, John Kotter and James Heskett provide the first comprehensive critical analysis of how the "culture" of a corporation powerfully influences its economic performance, for better or for worse. Through painstaking research at such firms as Hewlett-Packard, Xerox, ICI, Nissan, and First Chicago, as well as a quantitative study of the relationship between culture and performance in more than 200 companies, the authors describe how shared values and unwritten rules can profoundly enhance economic success or, conversely, lead to failure to adapt to changing markets and environments.With penetrating insight, Kotter and Heskett trace the roots of both healthy and unhealthy cultures, demonstrating how easily the latter emerge, especially in firms which have experienced much past success. Challenging the widely held belief that "strong" corporate cultures create excellent business performance, Kotter and Heskett show that while many shared values and institutionalized practices can promote good performances in some instances, those cultures can also be characterized by arrogance, inward focus, and bureaucracy -- features that undermine an organization's ability to adapt to change. They also show that even "contextually or strategically appropriate" cultures -- ones that fit a firm's strategy and business context -- will not promote excellent performance over long periods of time unless they facilitate the adoption of strategies and practices that continuously respond to changing markets and new competitive environments.Fundamental to the process of reversing unhealthy cultures and making them more adaptive, the authors assert, is effective leadership. At the heart of this groundbreaking book, Kotter and Heskett describe how executives in ten corporations established new visions, aligned and motivated their managers to provide leadership to serve their customers, employees, and stockholders, and thus created more externally focused and responsive cultures.

  A Step-by-Step Plan that Will Meet All of Your Family's Financial Needs--Both Today and Down the Road  
  Make Yourself a Millionaire is unlike any personal finance book you've ever read. Instead of enticing you with can't-miss tricks for doubling your money overnight, tricks that usually only cost you money, it provides you with commonsense guidance for taking charge of every crucial financial aspect of your life--from saving and investing to life insurance, college tuition, taxes, and more.  
  Charles Zhang, one of today's most honored and successful financial advisors, reveals keys to improving your money smarts across the board, keys that include:  Investing strategies for shrewdly building solid and long-lasting wealth in the stock market, with surprisingly little effort In-depth descriptions of every major type of life insurance, with the pros and cons of each Methods for getting the most from Social Security, whether you plan on retiring tomorrow or in 30 years   
  Praise for Make Yourself a Millionaire:  
  "Charles Zhang is a true American success story. His hard work and dedication to providing highquality financial advice is legendary within American Express. This book is a great roadmap for those who want to reach their dreams. It is a must read."--Ken Chenault, Chairman and CEO, American Express  
  Deep down, millions of Americans suspect they should have a sensible, comprehensive financial plan. Yet even as barriers to achieving financial security increase by the day, such a plan--one that covers everything from investing to insurance to education costs to retirement--continues to remain far more the exception than the rule.  
  Make Yourself a Millionaire is today's most straightforward guidebook for ensuring that all of your family's financial needs are met. Award-winning financial advisor Charles Zhang--who became one of today's most successful financial advisors by stressing sane and sensible investing strategies over dubious, get-rich-quick tricks and schemes--draws on his years of experience to outline a clear and rational program guaranteed to organize and plan every aspect of your financial life.  
  How can you gain the huge benefits of stock market investing while minimizing the risks? What type of life insurance should you have--and how much is too much? Zhang answers these questions and more as he discusses:  Guidelines for choosing a financial advisor that is right for you--and your situation Facts you need to know about stocks, mutual funds, bonds, annuities, REITs, and more Asset allocation strategies for cushioning against sudden market downturns When good investing goes bad--actual case studies of investors trying shortcuts to beat the market, and losing All about college savings plans, and how the popular 529 plan can afford you completely tax-free asset growth Estate planning techniques designed to save your heirs thousands of dollars in estate taxes   
  Everyone who has a stake in the financial markets--and, today, that pretty much means everyone--should have a fundamental grasp of what they are investing in and why. Using real-life examples, plain-English explanations, helpful worksheets, and more, Make Yourself a Millionaire provides you with a wall-to-wall understanding of what you currently own versus what you need to own, and how to make them one and the same. Combining their textbook knowledge of financial planning with the unflinching honesty and empathy that have made them two of today's most sought-after financial planners, Charles Zhang joins with wife and fellow planning professional Lynn L. Chen-Zhang to give you the knowledge you need to live a rewarding life today, while assuring yourself a long and financially comfortable retirement.
