    Research states that almost half of all improvement initiatives fail due to lack of effective leadership. If this is the case, then as business owners the time has never been more prudent to consider how we are managing our businesses and what kind of leadership strategies we have in place. Given that so many industries are littered with failed start-ups and businesses these days, it is clear that more work and investment is needed to develop future leaders. But even with the right leadership in place, which business model does one choose to follow? There are numerous schools of thought and endless business theories on this topic, but one I believe can revolutionize the way in which all of our businesses operate is that of “lean management”. It’s not a new idea, in fact the Japanese have been utilising its power for over sixty years, but it is a concept and a philosophy that we should all take time to understand. But what is exactly is ‘Lean Management’? And what is a ‘Lean Leader’? What makes a ‘Lean Leader’ different from a ‘normal’ leader? These are just some of the questions we’ll be answering within this book. We also want you to: - Understand the variables and factors that have an impact on the overall implication and sustainability of your movement towards a lean path - Identify the main differences between management and leadership styles and behaviours and why going lean could change your business for the better - Recognise that lean principles can be applied to any size business within any industry - Learn how to move towards going completely lean

    "Kaya mo ba?" Can you take it? An instructor asks a group of migrant workers in the Philippines, as they prepare for domestic work in wealthier countries. Can you take the grueling work? "Kaya," the women say. "We can." 
     
     
     
    The phrase "human trafficking" often conjures nightmarish images of sexual exploitation, but Rhacel Salazar Parreñas reveals that the vast majority of trafficking victims are domestic workers who suffer abuse not at the hands of crime lords but rather "ordinary" family employers. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on twenty years of groundbreaking research across three continents, Parreñas exposes the grim realities faced by migrant workers ensnared in forced labor due to poverty and debt bondage. She uncovers how entrenched social and legal norms, coupled with a patronizing "employer savior complex," foster a troubling sense of ownership among employers over "their" domestic workers. 
     
     
     
    Through powerful firsthand accounts, Parreñas illustrates the migrants' desperation, and the power dynamics that lead to a global network of exploitation. Parreñas's narrative challenges listeners to confront uncomfortable truths about everyday household arrangements and calls for justice and fair treatment for all workers.

    USA Today BestsellerStop postponing the life you want. Start living more fully today. You weren’t put on this earth to work a job you hate for 30 years just to earn the right to stop living for the next 30. Yet that’s the deal most of us accept: work hard, sacrifice now, save aggressively and one day (at 65)...you’ll finally live the life you want.But what if that future never looks the way you imagined? Your health may not cooperate. The relationships you’ve neglected may not be there waiting. The life you keep deferring has a way of not showing up on schedule.Veteran financial advisor and CADRE co-founder Derek Coburn has a provocative, data-backed case for rethinking retirement entirely and instead building a life you won’t want to escape from.This isn’t about working forever. It’s about designing a life so fulfilling and aligned with what matters most that you never feel the need to walk away from it.Here’s what changes everything: when you plan to do meaningful work longer—because you want to, not because you have to—the pressure to save extreme amounts today drops. You reclaim cash flow. You reclaim time. And instead of hoarding life for a future version of yourself, you start living now.Present fulfillment and future financial security aren’t in conflict. They never were.Inside, you’ll discover:Why traditional retirement planning relies on flawed assumptionsHow working longer on your terms can unlock more freedom todayThe financial strategies (and hidden tax traps) most long-term earners missAlternatives to retirement: mini-retirements, sabbaticals, career pivots, and “unretirement”How to stop sacrificing the moments you’ll wish you could reliveLearn how to have more fun in life—without guilt, delay, or waiting for permission from the future."Captures what so many of us have felt but struggled to articulate." — Daniel H.
