Sinopsis

In "The Efficiency Expert," Edgar Rice Burroughs ventures into the complex world of business and personal dynamics during the early 20th century. With a narrative infused with wit and sharp social commentary, Burroughs presents the story of a man determined to revolutionize the workforce through productivity and efficiency, reflecting the burgeoning industrial age's ethos. Utilizing a combination of adventure and romance, the book illustrates the tension between individual ambition and the mechanical dehumanization of work, showcasing Burroughs' ability to meld genre fiction with keen insights into societal norms and economic progress. Edgar Rice Burroughs, best known for his creation of the iconic character Tarzan, wrote "The Efficiency Expert" in 1921, demonstrating his versatility beyond pulp adventure. Influenced by his experiences in various business ventures and his interest in contemporary industrial society, Burroughs critiques the often mechanistic approach to both labor and humanity. His keen observations provide a unique context to the narrative, as he juxtaposes personal fulfillment against the demands of the corporate landscape. This book is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the interplay of efficiency, human relationships, and early 20th-century industrial culture. Burroughs' engaging narrative style and astute social observations offer layers of meaning that resonate even today, making "The Efficiency Expert" a compelling study for scholars and general readers alike.

    Whatever your position is on Black Lives Matter, defunding the police, and equity in law enforcement, former police chief Carmen Best shares the leadership lessons she learned as the first Black woman to lead the Seattle Police Department—a personal insider story that will challenge your assumptions on how to move the country forward. 
    Chief Carmen Best has spent the last 28 years as a member of a big-city police force, an institution where minorities and women have historically found it especially difficult to succeed. She defied the odds and became the first Black woman to lead the Seattle Police Department.  
    During her tenure, she was successful in bringing significantly more diversity to the force. However, when the city council cut her budget amid months of protests against police violence, she had no choice but to step aside. Without the city’s support, she felt she wouldn’t be able to continue changing the status quo of the police force from within. 
    Throughout her career, Chief Best has learned lessons that those coming up behind her can benefit from. In this book, she will use her story to share those urgent lessons. You will learn about:How Chief Best grew up to believe in the change she set out to create.Her early days in the police force, including lessons from the academy and her time on patrol.How she progressed in her career within a primarily white law enforcement culture and the events that led to her becoming Chief.How she built her team and overcame the politics involved in her high-level position until the call for defunding came. 
    Carmen Best teaches the core qualities and mindset to persevere and rise through the ranks, even within a workplace whose culture and leadership must be challenged, and policies changed on the way to achieving that vision. Her motivating story serves as a master class in guiding principles for anyone striving to serve their community and rise to the highest echelon of success.

    The Health of Human Trafficking...

    Slavery has existed since ancient times, was integral to building most civilizations, and was written into the Code of Hammurabi (Wells, 2008). It has appropriately been called “the world’s oldest trade” (Vink, 2003). Although Mauritania became the last country in the world to criminalize slavery in 2007, it is estimated there are over 45 million people enslaved worldwide today (McDougall, 2015; Walk Free Foundation, 2016). By means of comparison, historians generally agree approximately 12 million slaves were traded during the entire 400-year Trans- 
    Atlantic slave trade (Manning, 1992; Nunn, 2008).  
        Modern-day slavery is also known as human trafficking and has been documented in all 50 states (U.S. Department of State, 2016). Although the United States and international communities have cooperated to outlaw trafficking activities and protect victims with the passage of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) in 2000, much of the focus has been on legal protection. Little progress has been made in addressing the health needs of victims of human trafficking (Hom & Woods, 2013). Human trafficking harms people physically and emotionally, but health is the least understood aspect of the trafficking process. Notably, trafficking has been called a “public health crisis”, and a “pandemic” (de Chesnay, 2013, p. 901; Goodwin Veenema, Thornton, & Corley, p. 864). The health care response, however, has been “largely neglected in anti-trafficking work”, particularly when compared to efforts in law enforcement, immigrant law, and public policy (Zimmerman, Hossain, & Watts, 2011, p. 327).

    Expanding the pie so that all parties get more, while paying less, builds strong and trusting long-term working relationships. Everyone loves working with someone who allows them to get more by paying less. You'll secure yourself a number of happy long-term business partners. 
    While some negotiation tactics use strength, the most effective tactics use intelligence, strategy, and finesse. Here's why: The most crucial skill for you to have - as a negotiator - is the ability to make the other party feel they've won the negotiation and obtained a great outcome - even if, when dividing up the pie, you've secured most of the pie for yourself. You want the other party to be willing to do business with you again in the future, and also to give you great reviews, references, and referrals. 
    To accomplish the objectives above, you'll learn negotiation tactics that combine timeless relationship building skills, scientifically proven principles of influence and persuasion, and the best strategies from The Art of War by Sun Tzu - the classic 2,000-year-old Chinese military strategy book. You'll ensure the other party feels they've been treated fairly and obtained a great outcome, even if, when dividing up the pie, you've secured most of the pie for yourself. 
    The truth is, all that's necessary to get the results you want is for you to do a few basic fundamentals really well. Doing the basic fundamentals really well is always the fastest, easiest, and most effective way to get excellent results. Don't waste time on trendy advice that quickly fizzles out. Instead, learn timeless fundamentals that will always be relevant. 
    You'll be able to start applying what you've learned immediately after you've finished reading this book by using the example procedures, responses, strategies, behaviors, and action steps. It works; and it will work for you. Read this book, apply the information, and see for yourself.
