  The Demographic Cliff - How to...

  Jr. Harry S. Dent

  Bestselling author and financial guru Harry Dent shows why we're facing a "great deflation" after five years of desperate stimulus-and what to do about it now 
  Throughout his long career as an economic forecaster, Harry Dent has relied on a not-so-secret weapon: demographics. Studying the predictable things people do as they age is the ultimate tool for understanding trends. For instance, Dent can tell a client exactly when people will spend the most on potato chips. And he can explain why our economy has risen and fallen with the peak spending of generations, and why we now face a growing demographic cliff with the accelerating retirement of the Baby Boomers around the world. 
  Dent predicted the impact of the Boomers hitting their highest growth in spending in the 1990s, when most economists saw the United States declining. And he anticipated the decline of Japan in the 1990s, when economists were proclaiming it would overtake the U.S. economy. 
  But now, Dent argues, the fundamental demographics have turned against the United States and will hit more countries ahead. Inflation rises when a larger than usual block of younger people enter the workforce, and it wanes when large numbers of older people retire, downsize their homes, and cut their spending. The mass retirement of the Boomers won't just hold back inflation; it and massive debt deleveraging will actually cause deflation-weakening the economy the most from 2014 into 2019. 
  Dent explores the implications of his controversial predictions. He offers advice on retirement planning, health care, real estate, education, investing, and business strategies. For instance... 
  • Businesses should get lean and mean now. Identify segments that you can clearly dominate and sell off or shut down others. If you don't, the economy will do it for you, more painfully and less profitably. 
  • Investors should sell stocks by mid-January 2014 and look to buy them back in 2015 or later at a Dow as low as 5,800. 
  • Families should wait to buy real estate in areas where home prices have gone back to where the bubble started in early 2000. 
  • Governments need to stop the endless stimulus that creates more bubbles and kills the middle class, and should assist in restructuring the unprecedented debt bubble of 1983-2008. 
  Dent shows that if you take the time to understand demographic data, using it to your advantage isn't all that difficult. By following his suggestions, listeners will be able to find the upside to the downturn and learn how to survive and prosper during the most challenging years ahead.

  The Road to Freedom - Economics...

  Joseph E. Stiglitz

  Forces on the political Right have justified exploitation by cloaking it in the rhetoric of freedom, leading to pharmaceutical companies freely overcharging for medication, a Big Tech free from oversight, politicians free to incite rebellion, corporations free to pollute, and more. How did we get here?In The Road to Freedom, Nobel prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz dissects America's current economic system and the political ideology that created it, laying bare their twinned failure. Free and unfettered markets have exploited consumers, workers, and the environment alike. These movements now pose a real threat to true economic and political freedom.As an economic advisor to presidents and as chief economist at the World Bank, Stiglitz has witnessed these profound changes firsthand. As he argues, the failures follow from the elites' unshakeable dedication to "the neoliberal experiment."The Road to Freedom breaks new ground, showing how economics reframes how to think about freedom and the role of the state in a twenty-first century society. Stiglitz explains a deeper, more humane way to assess freedoms—one that considers what to do when one person's freedom conflicts with another's.

  Who's in the Room? - How Great...

  The inability to make decisions. Competition for resources.  Friction among team members. These problems are endemic in  organizations of all sizes, in all industries, across all  continents. Leaders usually assume that if their teams can just  communicate better, or trust each other more, or overcome some  other set of individual or collective dysfunctions, these problems  can be resolved.  And so they call in the psychologists, the  coaches, and organization development consultants.  But the  problems dont go away.    In fact, the problems often arent psychological or  behavioral at all.  Rather, theyre caused by a failure  to understand how managerial team building and decision-making  actually work.  Through research and interviews with CEOs and  top executives at major companies like MasterCard, DuPont and  Morgan Stanley, the authors found that many leaders see themselves  as leading not from the top of an organizational pyramid but from  the center of several concentric rings of teams, both formal and  informal, that surround them. This book shows how executives in  organizations of any size can better configure, manage, and  maximize their leverage of the formal and informal teams around  them. Leaders will learn:       The best executives surround themselves with a portfolio  of teams, not a single team consisting of their direct reports.  These portfolios consist of a mix of formal teams and ad-hoc  kitchen cabinets of close advisors.    Ad-hoc teams often provide more value to leaders than their  formal teams.   The Senior Management Team, often viewed as the top executive  body of an organization, is often the most dysfunctional team of  all - and how it can be fixed.  The most effective CEOs surround themselves with four types of  teams, each with specific functions that they are uniquely suited  to fill.  Providing clarity around roles and decision-making can be a  more effective key to team success than putting more effort into  team building.    This book enables leaders and members of their teams to clarify  roles and maximize strategic capability, generating faster, better  decisions and a higher level of organizational alignment for  improved results.

  The Platform Paradox - How...

  Digital platforms are changing the rules of competition in the global economy. Until recently, it took Fortune 500 companies an average of 20 years to reach billion-dollar market valuations. Successful platforms now reach that milestone in an average of four years.In The Platform Paradox: How Digital Businesses Succeed in an Ever-Changing Global Marketplace, Wharton professor Mauro F. Guillén highlights a key incongruity in this new world. Most platforms considered to be successful have triumphed in only some, rather than all, parts of the world. There are very few truly global digital platforms.In more than three decades of studying multinational firms, Guillén has found they often misunderstand key aspects of what it takes to succeed globally, from culture and institutions to local competitive dynamics and pursuing markets in a logical sequence. Seeing multibillion-dollar companies like Amazon flounder in certain markets has led Guillén to research what it takes to create a successful global strategy.In The Platform Paradox, Guillén details: How the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated digitization and forced companies like Airbnb to pivot and adapt; How platforms like Tinder and Uber have used local advantages to grow rapidly in different countries; How traditional companies have transformed themselves into digital platforms, like Legoundertaking a digital revolution to emerge from bankruptcy and become the "Apple of toys"; and The possibilities and limits to global expansion, as illustrated by companies like Zoom and Skype. In The Platform Paradox, Guillén offers an integrated framework for these platforms to identify and implement a digital platform strategy on a truly global scale.

  Improve communication, engagement, and culture with active listening. 
   
  When employees, colleagues, and customers are not being heard, organizational culture, employee happiness, and overall organizational success will suffer. How well do you listen? 
   
  Active listening is the doorway to increased belonging, loyalty, profitability, innovation, and so much more. It is the difference between thinking we understand what people want and knowing what they want. Want to build stronger relationships, avoid misunderstandings, and anticipate problems before they surface at work?  
   
  All you have to do is listen. 
   
  The Art of Active Listening introduces a 5-step framework that shows you how to listen successfully and act upon what you are hearing. Readers will discover how to: 
   
  1.	Recognize the unsaid 
  2.	Seek to understand 
  3.	Decode 
  4.	Act  
  5.	Close the loop 
   
  Backed by her personal review of over 30,000 employee and customer surveys and facilitation of 100's of focus groups, Younger discovered one universal truth: We all want to be heard. We want our voices to matter. We want the work we do to matter.  
   
  When we get this right - when we listen to our employees and customers and care about them not just for what they can do but for who they ARE - they can and will move mountains. 
   
  Using the tools provided in this book, you can implement active listening, regardless of whether you're in-person or virtual, that benefits all team members and customers, strengthens overall engagement, improves organizational culture and creates a space for everyone to have a voice. 
   
  When those at work feel heard, they will do whatever it takes to achieve outcomes that serve your relationship and your organization.
