Sinopsis

In 1973, Labour MP Dick Taverne caused a national sensation when he stood against his own party as an independent to win a historic by-election in Lincoln. Demonstrating the power of the individual against party politics, his bold move was a forerunner for the formation of the SDP some eight years later and cemented his own place in political history. Peppered with entertaining anecdotes, Against the Tide sets Taverne's political battles in the context of a rich and varied life. After studying at Oxford University, Taverne juggled a legal career while taking his first steps in politics, before serving in Harold Wilson's government during the 1960s. His later achievements included the launch of the Institute for Fiscal Studies and the founding of the charity Sense About Science, whose objective of advancing public understanding of science continues to inform public debate today. Still an active member of the House of Lords, Dick Taverne presents a thoughtful and compelling memoir, as well as a measured account of fraught and turbulent times.

    So if you're a product vendor, then you probably already know why you need bonuses. Bonuses are an excellent way to increase the perceived value of your product or offer. They also significantly increase your conversion rate. Many of your buyers, no matter how good your product is, are sitting on the fence waiting for one last nudge towards becoming a customer. Bonuses can often be this difference between a buyer. 
    Then there are also those people who absolutely love the bonuses for the bonuses sake and will actually judge your product or your offer based on the number of bonuses. So making sure you have a good amount of attractive bonuses can go a long way towards maximizing your sales. Finally, there's another much less talked about advantage of bonuses. They act as an excellent form of collateral that you can offer in your guarantee statement.  
    Very few sellers do this, but it's incredibly effective and Maximizes the amount of trust you can gain with potential buyers. Basically, what you do is you offer your standard guarantee, such as a 30 day money back guarantee, but then you state that you're going to go above and beyond an reverse. The risk in this second part of your guarantee you're going to promise that the buyers ipon requesting a refund.  
    Will even get to keep the bonuses, which both makes the buyer feel like they're taking less risk, but also reinforces their faith that you're certain your product can do what it says. Otherwise, why would you be taking so much risk on your own shoulders if you've appraised the dollar amount of these bonuses at, for example, $500, then you can pitch it as a 100% money back plus $500 value back guarantee.

The architect makes a realistic plan for the new organization as builders erect structures that transition startups to the growth stage. Engineers solve existential problems and contribute to continuous improvement. Finally, entrepreneurs obtain excellent results by taking ownership, being optimistic, and taking appropriate risks. 
     
    On a tactical level, journalists glean information essential for daily operations. Coaches understand the importance of training and delegation. Parents are concerned with the long-term survival of the family line as Judges create a culture of truth and fairness. Pilots know how to navigate turbulent situations. Soldiers are disciplined, courageous, and loyal.

    A mother-daughter legal scholar team “offers unabashedly straightforward advice in a how-to primer for ambitious women . . . [A]ttention-grabbing revelations” (Debora L. Spar, The New York Times Book Review)  What Works for Women at Work is a comprehensive and insightful guide for mastering office politics as a woman. Authored by Joan C. Williams, one of the nation’s most-cited experts on women and work, and her daughter, Rachel Dempsey, this unique book offers a multi-generational perspective into the realities of today’s workplace. Often women receive messages that they have only themselves to blame for failing to get ahead. What Works for Women at Work tells women it’s not their fault.   Based on interviews with 127 successful working women, over half of them women of color, What Works for Women at Work presents a toolkit for getting ahead in today’s workplace. Distilling over thirty-five years of research, Williams and Dempsey offer four crisp patterns that affect working women. Each represents different challenges and requires different strategies—which is why women need to be savvier than men to survive and thrive in high-powered careers.    Williams and Dempsey’s analysis of working women is nuanced and in-depth, going beyond the traditional one-size-fits-all approaches of most career guides for women. Throughout the book, they weave real-life anecdotes from the women they interviewed, along with advice on dealing with difficult situations such as sexual harassment. An essential resource for any working woman.   “Many steps beyond Lean In (2013), Sheryl Sandberg’s prescription for getting ahead . . . .[F]illed with street-smart advice and plain old savvy about the way life works in corporate America.” —Booklist, starred review)   “A playbook on how to transcend and triumph.” —O, The Oprah Magazine
