Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son

George Horace Lorimer

Sinopse

In "Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son," George Horace Lorimer presents an epistolary narrative that deftly combines humor, wisdom, and practical advice. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the book chronicles imaginary correspondence between a wealthy merchant, Mr. Grover, and his son, who navigates the complexities of life and business. Lorimer's writing is characterized by its conversational tone, rich in satirical observation, which critiques societal norms while offering timeless insights into character and ambition. This work resonates deeply within the American literary context, reflecting the burgeoning capitalism and middle-class values of its time. George Horace Lorimer (1867-1937) was an influential editor and a keen observer of American life. His background in journalism and his experiences in the business world informed his understanding of both personal and professional dynamics. Lorimer's own ascent from humble beginnings to a position of influence as the editor of The Saturday Evening Post significantly influenced his portrayal of self-made success, making this book a semi-autobiographical endeavor that underscores his belief in meritocracy. I highly recommend "Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son" to readers seeking a blend of insight and entertainment. Its timeless advice, presented in a relatable format, makes it not only a valuable resource for aspiring entrepreneurs but also a delightful exploration of father-son relationships, making it a significant addition to both personal and academic libraries.

Rob Bier

Why do some businesses “fail to scale”? Smooth Scaling offers a clear diagnosis, along with twenty practical Rituals to boost your organization’s performance and achieve frictionless growth.  
Smooth Scaling addresses the most pervasive and least-understood fail point that threatens to kneecap even the best-laid scaling plan: organizational friction. Expert Rob Bier reveals why organizational frictions take hold as you grow and how they slow your company down.  
These growth pains are both predictable and preventable, yet they almost always take leaders by surprise. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Until now, there’s been no resource to guide executives through this challenge. As a result, they end up playing “Whack-a-Mole,” reacting to a never-ending stream of organizational, team, and people problems one at a time—only for new ones to crop up. Smooth Scaling addresses this gap, presenting a proven approach based on real-life experience and application.  
Drawing on his extensive experience building high-performance organizations, Bier has created twenty foundational Rituals that integrate seamlessly into the daily habits of your company. These Rituals make your organization as frictionless as possible, allowing you to scale faster—and more sustainably—than ever before. 
In Smooth Scaling, you will learn how to:Build trust proactively across your organization Turn your managers into a powerful driver of productivity and scalability Build high-performance teams with the people you’ve got Break down barriers between departments to prevent silos Maintain a cohesive high-trust culture as you grow  
Smooth Scaling is your indispensable guide to building a scalable, high-performing organization.
