    From legendary business guru and #1 bestselling author Ram Charan comes a return to the Big Think business book that will guide top business leaders through uncertain times, showing them how to turn the new challenges into competitive advantage. 
    When Ram Charan (and Larry Bossidy) published Execution (over 2 million copies sold), they saw it as the playbook for both senior and middle managers in “the new game.” But now, the game has changed. Business leaders find themselves operating in an era of persistent uncertainty moving at an unprecedented rate of change. Now the man Forbes magazine called “alone at the top of his profession . . . a guru, a corporate sage” returns with a new message for this challenging time.In The Attacker's Advantage, Charan reveals the upside of uncertainty for those leaders who are nimbly positioned to anticipate the catalysts of disruption and embrace change. He updates and adapts the principles of his previous bestsellers to address the current turbulent business environment, cutting through the veil of complexity to concentrate on the new customer needs and expectations and providing the tools for corporate leaders to take their companies to a higher level.

    For sixty years, since the birth of United Artists, the studio landscape was unchanged.Then came Hollywood's Circus Maximus-created by director Steven Spielberg, billionaire David Geffen, and Jeffrey Katzenberg, who gave the world The Lion King-an entertainment empire called DreamWorks. Now Nicole LaPorte, who covered the company for Variety, goes behind the hype to reveal for the first time the delicious truth of what happened. Audiences will feel they are part of the creative calamities of moviemaking as LaPorte's fly-on-the-wall detail shows us Hollywood's bizarre rules of business. We see the clashes between the often otherworldly Spielberg's troops and Katzenberg's warriors, the debacles and disasters, but also the Oscar-winning triumphs, including Saving Private Ryan. We watch as the studio burns through billions, its rich owners get richer, and everybody else suffers. We see Geffen seducing investors like Microsoft's Paul Allen, showing his steel against CAA's Michael Ovitz, and staging fireworks during negotiations with Paramount and Disney. Here is Hollywood, up close, glamorous, and gritty.

    Diplomacy is critically important in leadership as it influences the leader’s ability to effectively navigate the complexities of not only international relations but also tactical, organizational, and strategic business operations. Dr Andrew Campbell is the Director of the International Peace and Leadership Institute and Director of the Global Leadership Education Institute. As a critically acclaimed author, international speaker, and leadership researcher, he blends global leadership, organizational leadership, international conflict management and terrorism, and emotional intelligence to show that business leadership is missing diplomacy as a key ingredient and that diplomats require leadership knowledge, skills, and abilities to lead in resolving international tensions. Dr. Campbell postulates that both business leaders and diplomatic leaders possess the same diverse range of competencies, including effective communication, negotiation, strategic thinking, adaptability, cultural intelligence, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, empathy, networking, and ethical conduct. Dr Campbell provides an innovative approach to learning and leadership development that are instrumental in both business and diplomacy. The world community needs business leaders with diplomacy skills as well as diplomats who lead with high character and act ethically when advancing the interests of business as well as the nation's foreign policy objectives within an interconnected world. The foundation of real leadership is built on character and the life one leads not on the role one plays.
