Summary

Outgrow Middle Management offers a unique blueprint that enables executives to expedite their rise to senior management while increasing their income and getting the most out of life.  The book provides a roadmap for scaling the corporate pinnacle much faster with better career/life harmony. The accelerated journey to top management is navigated primarily through two domains: Inner Leadership:  Inner leadership is self-awareness, growth toward self-mastery, and cultivation of the right attitude toward other people. It is achieved through three steps: Intention - performing with purpose leads to the outcomes we aim for Expansiveness  - expanding beyond expertise, education, or comfort zones Effectiveness - making an impact and affecting the end result of processes Outer Leadership: Outer leadership is the behavior that influences other people and includes the art of motivating people to progress toward results. Here in brief are the three strategies:Dialogue - developing communication skills to excel in fierce conversations Decision - getting commitments through collaborative decision making Action - driving flawless execution of the committed decisions  While there are thousands of books on leadership, Outgrow Middle Management is counterintuitive to the common approach of improving management skills, increasing efficiency, and becoming a better manager or leader. Its main concept is "get out of there!" because middle management is a stressful place to be. Instead, executives can learn to do what commercial pilots do when they hit bumps flying through clouds-they soar above them.

    America's runaway inequality has an engine: our unjust tax system.Even as they became fabulously wealthy, the ultra-rich have seen their taxes collapse to levels last seen in the 1920s. Meanwhile, working-class Americans have been asked to pay more. The Triumph of Injustice presents a forensic investigation into this dramatic transformation, written by two economists who revolutionized the study of inequality. Eschewing anecdotes and case studies, Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman offer a comprehensive view of America's tax system, based on new statistics covering all taxes paid at all levels of government. Their conclusion? For the first time in more than a century, billionaires now pay lower tax rates than their secretaries.Blending history and cutting-edge economic analysis, and writing in lively and jargon-free prose, Saez and Zucman dissect the deliberate choices (and sins of indecision) that have brought us to today: the gradual exemption of capital owners; the surge of a new tax avoidance industry; and the spiral of tax competition among nations. With clarity and concision, they explain how America turned away from the most progressive tax system in history to embrace policies that only serve to compound the wealth of a few.

    Glass Half-Broken - Shattering...

    Women have made up roughly half of the college-educated workforce for years, and before the onset of the economic crisis of 2020, the gap between the percentage of women and the percentage of men in the labor force was the lowest on record. But women remain underrepresented in positions of power and status. The gender pay gap, for example, shows little movement, largely because high-paying jobs are the most gender-imbalanced. Even in areas where there are roughly equal numbers of men and women, or where women actually make up the majority, leadership ranks remain male-dominated.The endurance of these inequalities begs the question: Why haven't we made more progress?Ammerman and Groysberg focus on the pervasive organizational obstacles and managerial actions that create gender imbalance. Bringing to light the key findings from the latest research in psychology, sociology, and economics, Glass Half-Broken shows that along their entire career path, women get pushed out of the leadership pipeline and, at each point, for different reasons. Presenting institutional and managerial strategies designed to overcome and mitigate these barriers at each step in the career path, Glass Half-Broken is the authoritative resource that managers and leaders at all levels can use to finally shatter the glass ceiling.

    Dividend investing is gaining in popularity. Dividends provide a form of financial security and reliability. Most people don't want to invest in financial securities because they are risk-averse, and the unpredictability of the market can be discouraging for first-time investors. Investing in dividends will ensure that you don't have to invest a lot of cash and wait a long time to see any returns. 
Instead, what you will get is a steady stream of income. Not just this, but the income that you receive can be reinvested in the market, and you gradually can build a portfolio that will build up your wealth.
