Summary

Credit Union Insights explores the potential of credit unions as catalysts for local economic development and financial inclusion. It examines how these member-owned cooperatives, focusing on local lending and savings, can address the shortcomings of traditional financial institutions that often neglect small businesses and underserved communities.

 
The book highlights the unique advantages of credit unions, such as their member-centric model and reinvestment of profits locally. For example, credit unions can tailor lending practices to meet specific community needs, fostering a virtuous cycle of economic growth and stability.

 
The book's approach involves a comprehensive analysis, beginning with the historical context of credit unions and progressing through key themes like governance, local lending practices (including small business loans and mortgage lending), and contributions to financial literacy. It uses case studies and statistical data to demonstrate how credit unions can improve access to financial services and stimulate local economic activity.

 
One intriguing fact is that by prioritizing members' needs, credit unions can create a more equitable financial landscape compared to shareholder-driven banks.

 
The book culminates by examining the regulatory environment and strategies for enhancing credit union effectiveness.

Decision Sprint - The New Way to...

Atif Rafiq

It's no secret that steering a business has become dramatically more complex and uncertain in our modern era. Constant exploration of new territory by teams is the name of the game. Yet most companies are stuck with yesterday's approach to problem solving. 
 
 
 
Having reached the highest levels of the Fortune 500, digital disrupter Atif Rafiq has written Decision Sprint to pull the curtain back on the hidden management systems within your organization that impact how people think, collaborate, and make decisions. 
 
 
 
Talent is vital to any company's advancement, but it's the collaboration and problem solving systems that separate industry leaders from the rest. Systems designed to embrace unknowns are the quickest, most enduring way to foster growth, continuous innovation, and results. Learn how teams begin with upstream work—the phase of a promising idea or initiative where the unknowns predominate—to problem-solve anything, thus unlocking downstream actions from alignment to decision making to execution. With Rafiq's guidance, you'll overtake your competitors by moving upstream, embracing workflows that convert unknowns to clear recommendations, alignment, and action. In addition, you'll receive advice from the CEOs/presidents of H&R Block, Volvo, Peacock, and Orange Theory Fitness, among others—and learn from in-depth case studies.

SELLOSOPHY - The Art and Science...

Ariel Feder

It is NOT about “Go and Sell” motivation, 100 closing techniques, or cold calling scripts. 
It is a book for professionals developing a deep understanding of sales and business development. Sellosophy integrates the philosophical ideas of great minds into practical sales management models. I wrote this book, especially for corporate managers, business developers, business owners, distribution managers, and sales professionals. We know that sales tactics and motivational speeches don’t hold their effect for more than a month. In the long run, only professionals who develop a practical vision of their business will be successful. It helps them overcome crises, uncertainties, and competition. Their vision leads their teams to new wins in an ever-changing environment. 
This book is an intellectual journey to develop your practical vision of the six fundamentals of sales management:
