Sinossi

In "Strictly Business," F. Morton Howard expertly navigates the intersection of commerce and human relationships, offering a compelling critique of the corporate world during the early 20th century. With a keen eye for detail and a narrative style that seamlessly blends realism and wit, Howard portrays the lives of businesspeople as they grapple with morality, ambition, and the pursuit of success. Set against the backdrop of an evolving economic landscape, the stories encapsulate the zeitgeist of a rapidly industrializing America, employing rich characterizations and dialogues that resonate with the reader on both emotional and intellectual levels. F. Morton Howard, a prominent literary figure of his time, draws upon his extensive experience in the business sector to infuse authenticity into his storytelling. His insights reflect the disillusionment and ambition that defined the era, as he elicits the struggles and triumphs of individuals in a burgeoning capitalist society. Howard's remarkable ability to synthesize personal experiences with broader societal themes underpins the powerful narratives within this collection. I highly recommend "Strictly Business" to readers seeking a thoughtful exploration of the complexities of ambition and ethics within the professional sphere. This collection is not merely a reflection of its time but a timeless commentary on the human condition, making it essential reading for anyone interested in the intricate dance between personal and professional life.

The Human Sales Factor - The...

Lance Tyson

There’s a science to getting others to buy from you—a secret only the best salespeople, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders in the world know: selling, at its core, isn’t really about moving a product or service. It’s about moving people. 
 
Having spent nearly three decades meticulously examining the skillsets required for connecting with others—through the training and coaching of thousands of sales leaders and their teams for some of the biggest brands in the world—bestselling author Lance Tyson has mastered the powers of persuasion and influence, while decoding the intricacies of why people buy from others.
 
Whether you’re a seasoned professional or an entrepreneur trying to pitch the next great idea—or maybe you just want to get better at getting what you want—The Human Sales Factor: The Human-to-Human Equation for Connecting, Persuading, and Closing the Deal is for you. This book is a peek under the hood of Lance’s proven, predictable, scalable process. It’s designed for sales leaders and their teams, yet is still approachable and applicable for the person who just wants to open doors and increase the chances of getting anything they want or need. 
 
Connecting and persuading are no longer soft skills. They are fundamental skills that can help you attract investors, sell products, build brands, inspire teams, and trigger movements.
 
Despite all the processes, lingo, methodologies, and corporate rhetoric, sales—no matter the industry—has never truly been B2B or B2C. It always has and always will be done Human-to-Human.

The Innovation Paradox - Why...

Marc J. Epstein, Tony Davila

For more than twenty years, major innovations—the kind that transform industries and even societies—seem to have come almost exclusively from startups. Established companies still dominate most markets, but despite massive efforts and millions of dollars, they can't seem to achieve the same kinds of foundational breakthroughs. The problem, say Tony Davila and Marc Epstein, is that the very processes and structures responsible for established companies' enduring success prevent them from developing breakthroughs. This is the innovation paradox. 
 
 
 
Using examples from both scrappy startups and long-term innovators such as IBM, 3M, Apple, and Google, Davila and Epstein explain how corporate culture, leadership style, strategy, incentives, and management systems can be structured to encourage breakthroughs. Then they bring it all together in a new model called the Startup Corporation, which combines the philosophy of the startup with the experience, resources, and network of an established company. 
 
 
 
Breakthrough innovation no longer has to be the nearly exclusive province of the new kids on the block. With Davila and Epstein's assistance, any company can develop paradigm-shifting products and services and maximize the ROI on its R&D.
