Summary

Edwards Deming’s “14 Points for Managers” and “7 Deadly Diseases of Management”  Among the principles Gary Fellers teaches are those pertaining to manager-employee relationships, interdepartmental coordination, and, above all, quality management. He explains how to remove the stumps of outdated, poorly tested management styles from practice and get back to the business of frontline management.  W. Edwards Deming was a key consultant in management circles, his clients including Ford, GM, and Dow Chemicals. The Deming system was the secret to Japan’s economic miracle after World War II. His principles are taught regularly in business schools but rarely reach practical application because of their complexity. Now Fellers transcends these obstacles, putting Deming in a compact volume that speaks to anyone trying to understand why things go wrong.

    There is a force in our everyday lives that we aren't even aware of—and it's so powerful it threatens to derail otherwise promising careers and lives: microstress.It's the hidden epidemic of small moments of anxiety that infiltrate both our work and personal lives. Because each individual microstress is so small, it doesn't trigger the normal stress response in our brains to help us deal with it. Instead, the microstress just embeds in our minds, accumulating along with scores of other microstresses, day-to-day and week-to-week. The long-term effect is devastating: microstress invisibly weighs us down, damages our physical and emotional health, and contributes to a decline in our overall well-being.The good news is that once you learn about microstress, you can fight back. Drawing on fresh research, Rob Cross and Karen Dillon will teach you how to recognize and manage the most common forms of microstress, and even remove some from your life. Compelling interviews with high achievers who've endured their share of microstress bring to life best practices that show you how to build resilience against microstress, and ultimately how to find purpose in your everyday life, using it as an antidote to your own microstress.

    It's no secret that money can be a major source of stress for most people. Whether it's the pressure to make ends meet, the fear of not having enough for the future, or the constant comparison to others' financial success, money can weigh heavily on our minds and bodies. But why is this the case? 
    One reason is that money is closely tied to our basic needs and sense of security. On the other hand, when we are constantly worrying about money, it can affect our physical and mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. 
    Money Is Killing You Daily is a comprehensive guide to understanding and managing the complex relationship between money and stress. This book begins by exploring the various factors that shape our relationship with money, including personal beliefs and values, childhood experiences, societal and cultural influences, opportunities, and life events. It then digs into the psychological roots of financial stress and the ways in which it can hold us back from achieving our financial goals. The book offers a variety of practical strategies that dive into the impacts of financial stress on both physical and mental health, and the importance of understanding an individual's current financial situation in order to manage money effectively. 
    Finally, it discusses the importance of taking control of finances and prioritizing mental health, and provides strategies for achieving this, such as identifying and addressing negative money beliefs and patterns, setting healthy financial habits, steps to increase income, making time for non-financial pursuits, and provides a range of actions that individuals can take to increase financial stability and reduce stress in the short and long-term. Money Is Killing You Daily is a valuable resource for those looking to increase their income, get out of debt, improve their financial well-being and live a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

    Executives are bombarded with bestselling ideas and best practices for achieving competitive advantage, but many of these ideas and practices contradict each other. Should you aim to be big or fast? Should you create a blue ocean, be adaptive, play to win—or forget about a sustainable competitive advantage altogether? In a business environment that is changing faster and becoming more uncertain and complex almost by the day, it's never been more important—or more difficult—to choose the right approach to strategy.In this book, The Boston Consulting Group's Martin Reeves, Knut Haanæs, and Janmejaya Sinha offer a proven method to determine the strategy approach that is best for your company. They start by helping you assess your business environment—how unpredictable it is, how much power you have to change it, and how harsh it is—a critical component of getting strategy right. They show how existing strategy approaches sort into five categories—Be Big, Be Fast, Be First, Be the Orchestrator, or simply Be Viable—depending on the extent of predictability, malleability, and harshness. In-depth explanations of each of these approaches will provide critical insight to help you match your approach to strategy to your environment, determine when and how to execute each one, and avoid a potentially fatal mismatch.

    A frequently asked question is – what makes a country richer than the others. How could some countries be so flourished where technology has reached a zenith and continues to improve while some countries still struggle to get a basic internet connection. For years economists have tried to get into the depth, seeking for answers which seem to be warped. There are different points and conditions that help in a country to be more developed and better in economic conditions than the others. Culture, political conditions, geophysical location on the globe, natural calamities, society and natural resources are some of them. The fact on how rich a country is can be determined by its Gross Domestic Product or GDP per capita at nominal values. Countries compete amongst each other to reach the frontline in the long race of progress and development and to be the number one in the world. The list of the richest countries tends to change every year depending on how much luck, nature and politicians have helped in keeping them ahead of everyone.
