  Based on Mike Figliuolos popular "Leadership Maxims"  training course, One Piece of Paper teaches  leaders how to articulate their philosophy on a single piece of  paper. By asking themselves a series of simple yet  thought-provoking questions across four aspects of leadership,  readers create a concise, powerful and deeply meaningful set of  personal leadership maxims. The four aspects of leadership  comprising the core of the approach are:     Leading Yourself: What do you stand for and where are you  going?  Leading the Thinking: Whats the vision and how do you  innovate to drive change? What are the standards to guide how you  get there?  Leading Your People: How will you relate to them and challenge  them to be great?  Leading a Balanced Life: How will you harmonize all you do so  you wake up invigorated every day excited to go tackle the  challenges ahead of you?    By evaluating themselves across these four aspects of  leadership, leaders will build a holistic view of their personal  leadership style and learn how to capture it on a single piece of  paper. The result is a living document that serves as a behavioral  touchstone for  leaders and their teams. From this one piece  of paper, leaders can clarify for themselves and communicate to  others their values, passions, goals and standards. It's a unique  and axiomatic approach that has consistently helped  Figliuolos corporate clients lead more decisively and  effectively.  Fortune 500 companies spend over $12 billion annually on  leadership development for their managers. Books that offer new and  effective solutions to the challenges corporate leaders face are  always in high demand. One Piece of  Paper is exactly the kind of book managers and  leaders are clamoring for  simple, applicable, and without  pretense. Its real leadership for the real world.

  Late Victorian Holocausts - El...

  Examining a series of El Niño-induced droughts and the famines that they spawned around the globe in the last third of the nineteenth century, Mike Davis discloses the intimate, baleful relationship between imperial arrogance and natural incident that combined to produce some of the worst tragedies in human history. Late Victorian Holocausts focuses on three zones of drought and subsequent famine: India, Northern China, and Northeastern Brazil. All were affected by the same global climatic factors that caused massive crop failures, and all experienced brutal famines that decimated local populations. But the effects of drought were magnified in each case because of singularly destructive policies promulgated by different ruling elites. Davis argues that the seeds of underdevelopment in what later became known as the Third World were sown in this era of High Imperialism, as the price for capitalist modernization was paid in the currency of millions of peasants' lives.

  Contagious: Why Things Catch On is a playbook for marketing in the internet age, when products and ideas live or die based on whether or not they can go viral. Author Jonah Berger describes six principles that, when applied together, can often predict whether an idea or product will spread. 
   
  Any product or idea can go viral. It doesn’t take a big advertising budget or a celebrity endorsement to raise awareness. Instead, the six principles of contagiousness can be turned into the helpful mnemonic acronym STEPPS. These are Social Currency, Triggers, Emotion, Public, Practical Value, and Stories. For a product or idea to spread, it must use each of these steps. 
   
  While STEPPS can help guarantee that an idea or product will go viral, some concepts are more likely to spread successfully than others. For example, a well-priced television is more likely to lure buyers than a poor-quality television with …

  Twelve and a Half - Leveraging...

  In his sixth business book, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and investor Gary Vaynerchuk explores the twelve essential emotional skills that are integral to his life—and business—success and provides today’s (and tomorrow’s) leaders with critical tools to acquire and develop these traits. 
  For decades, leaders have relied on “hard” skills to make smart decisions, while dismissing the importance of emotional intelligence. Soft skills like self-awareness and curiosity aren’t quantifiable; they can’t be measured on a spreadsheet and aren’t taught in B-schools or emphasized in institutions. We’ve been taught that emotional intelligence is a “nice to have” in business, not a requirement. But soft skills can actually accelerate business success, Gary Vaynerchuk argues. For analytical minds, it’s challenging to understand how to get “better” at being self-aware, curious, or empathetic—or even why it’s important to try.  
  In this wise and practical book, Gary explores the 12 human ingredients that have led to his success and happiness and provides exercises to help you develop these traits yourself. He also shares what the “half” is—that emotional ingredient of leadership he’s weakest at and makes the most effort to improve. Working through the ideas and exercises in the book, he teaches you how to discover your own “halves” and offers insight on how to strengthen them.  
  Gary’s secret to success is using these twelve traits in varying mixtures, depending on the situation. But how do we know when to balance patience with ambition? Humility with conviction? Gary provides real-life examples involving common business scenarios to show you how to use them together for optimum results.  
  This iconoclastic book will help you refine your ingredients and improve your leadership capabilities. When implemented in the proper situation, these ingredients can help leaders land promotions, retain core employees, move faster than competitors, win the loyalty of customers, and build successful organizations that last.

  Innovation requires teaming. (Put another way, teaming is to innovation what assembly lines are to car production.)This book brings together key insights on teaming, as they pertain to innovation. How do you build a culture of innovation? What does that culture look like? How does it evolve and grow? How are teams most effectively created and then nurtured in this context? What is a leader's role in this culture?This little book is a roadmap for teaming to innovate. We describe five necessary steps along that road: Aim High, Team Up, Fail Well, Learn Fast, and Repeat. This path is not smooth. To illustrate each critical step, we look at real-life scenarios that show how teaming to innovate provides the spark that can fertilize creativity, clarify goals, and redefine the meaning of leadership.
