  As chief innovator and problem solver, the CTO’s value far exceeds technology skills. The CTO must lead as a highly visible, first-class citizen of the C-suite. Still, many technology experts operate in a reactive, support-oriented style, struggling to command respect or assert influence—let alone executive presence. Whether setting the tone as a new hire or looking to redirect or revitalize an established role, one hundred days are all you need to secure long-term success. In CTO Excellence in 100 Days: Becoming the Leader Your Company Deserves, Etienne de Bruin offers actionable guidelines on how to lead both your company’s technology strategy and the people behind it.The work begins with assessing whether you’re in the right place. Next, Etienne’s methodical approach helps you build trust and visibility through effective communications and a strategic quick win, introduce your company’s technology vision, and navigate challenges—from engaging stakeholders to managing conflict—all within that vital one-hundred-day period.

  Men Without Work - America's...

  By one reading, things look pretty good for Americans today: the country is richer than ever before and the unemployment rate is down by half since the Great Recession. But a closer look shows that something is going seriously wrong. This is the collapse of work—especially among America's men. Political economist Nicholas Eberstadt shows that while "unemployment" has gone down, America's work rate is also lower today than a generation ago—and that the work rate for U.S. men has been spiraling downward for half a century. Astonishingly, the work rate for American males aged twenty-five to fifty-four—or "men of prime working age"—was actually slightly lower in 2015 than it had been in 1940: before the War, and at the tail end of the Great Depression.Today, nearly one in six prime working age men has no paid work at all—and nearly one in eight is out of the labor force entirely, neither working nor even looking for work. This new normal of "men without work," argues Eberstadt, is "America's invisible crisis."So who are these men? How did they get there? What are they doing with their time? And what are the implications of this exit from work for American society?

  Mind to Matter: The Ultimate Guide to Success Visualization, Learn Astonishing Ways to Train Your Mind and Visualize Your Way to Success We all have aspirations and dreams. But when we think of a dream or a goal we want to achieve, most of us oftentimes focus on the possible obstacles that will come our way. We focus on the negative instead of visualizing ourselves as successful. This becomes a problem as it inhibits our minds and stops us from moving forward. It stops us from trying our very best and being all out in achieving our dreams. Don't let this be you. Instead of focusing on all the obstacles you might encounter, you should visualize yourself victorious and successful in the end. You might know someone in your personal life who seems to have everything. This person might have the best job or always attracts the best opportunities. Oftentimes, this might be someone that is not usually the most intelligent or hardworking person you've ever known. The secret is that this person has probably mastered the art of manifestation and attraction and has visualized all of the success in his life. Our mind has the power to create and manifest whatever it is we want out of life. It might be material possessions like a dream car or a dream house, or it might be a perfect partner. Our subconscious mind can produce vibrations that are being sent out to the universe that can produce the outcome we desire. In this audiobook, you will learn: - What is Creative Visualization - How to Visualize - Techniques for Clearing Your Energy - Creative Visualization and Meditation - Mastering the Creative Visualization Process Some people might express skepticism in this practice. However, this has been a common practice of athletes, entertainers, and entrepreneurs who have been using visualizations as a way to achieve their goals.

  This book can help you save time and money! 
    
  When doing taxes, accounting, or income statements, many people are puzzled. It starts with knowing what is what: the definitions. Then, filling out the balance sheets and the numbers, can be an equally complicated task as well. And finally, most people want to get the most out of their business or salary: The highest return, the lowest costs, and the lowest amount of taxes paid. 
    
  All of these concerns are real and they won’t go away on their own. But at least, with a book like this, you can take one step in the right direction. 
    
  This book’s aim is to teach you some of those necessary definitions, to break down what they mean, and to become more familiar with doing general accounting. 
    
  If this is what you’ve been looking for, then I encourage you to pick up the book and start reading or listening to it.
