Beschreibung

In "The History of the Standard Oil Company (Complete Illustrated Edition)," Ida Minerva Tarbell delivers a foundational text in the realm of investigative journalism and corporate analysis. Written in the early 20th century, this exhaustive work meticulously details the rise of Standard Oil and its monopolistic practices that shaped the American economy. Through a blend of compelling narrative and rigorous research, Tarbell exposes the ethical dilemmas of unchecked capitalism, employing a clear, engaging style that is both accessible and authoritative. The illustrated edition enriches the text with visual elements that complement her stark portrayal of the industrial landscape and the human costs of corporate greed. Ida Tarbell, a journalist and muckraker, is known for her unyielding commitment to truth and social justice, which undoubtedly fueled her investigation into one of America's most powerful corporations. Her own experiences growing up in a small town where the oil industry had profound effects contributed to her interest in the subject. As a pioneer among female journalists, her empathetic yet incisive style captures the complexities surrounding economic power and social responsibility, making this work essential in understanding the historical context of corporate regulation in the United States. Readers seeking to grasp the intricacies of American industrial history and the legacy of corporate influence will find this illustrated edition an invaluable resource. Tarbell's sharp analysis not only reveals the inner workings of Standard Oil but also serves as a call to critically examine the ethics of business practices in contemporary society. A must-read for those interested in history, economics, and journalism.

    Winner - BookAuthority's "Best B2B Audiobooks for 2022" 
    “The B2B Leaders Guidebook needs to be on the desk of every sales director and CEO in the land. I consider it a bible of bibles.” - Jeremy Jacobs, The Sales Rainmaker® 
    The B2B Leaders Guidebook is Jim Irving’s eagerly awaited follow up to the critically acclaimed B2B Selling Guidebook. 
    It’s for those who already are, or who are about to become, leaders of business teams, startup businesses, corporate business units, all types of sales teams and small to medium businesses (SME’s). It’s for managers, leaders and entrepreneurs – and those who engage with them. 
    “If you are a new leader or a leader with a bunch of management problems please read Jim Irving’s B2B Leaders Guidebook. Buy this book today and lead by example!” 
    Patrick Tinney, Author of Unlocking Yes, Perpetual Hunger & The Bonus Round. 
    The book is packed with the learning highlights from a successful 40+ year career in high pressure business environments with over 20 years of that time dedicated to leading and managing small, medium and then very large teams in major multinational corporates and high performing start-ups. Jim has also successfully led a number of company turnarounds in multiple markets. 
    "I worked with Jim whilst heading up pre-sales in a regional branch of a major US multinational. The branch had underperformed for several years and Jim was promoted to lead it. The change in style that Jim brought was questioned by some to start, but over 2 years the region went from bottom in the UK to top and #2 in Europe. Jim’s ’serving to lead’ approach turned a group of individuals into a high performing team. It was incredibly effective."

    Stew Friedman, founding director of The Wharton School's Work/Life Integration Project, studied two generations of Wharton college students as they graduated: Gen Xers in 1992 and Millennials in 2012. The cross-generational study produced a stark discovery—the rate of graduates who planned to have children had dropped by nearly half over those twenty years. While some might wonder what this privileged group can tell us about broader trends in the United States, Friedman argues that they were "the canaries in the coal mine. . . . if they could not see a way to make their careers and families work, how could those with fewer opportunities and resources square this circle?" 
     
     
     
    In a new preface to this tenth anniversary edition of Baby Bust, Friedman observes that the birth rate in the United States has continued to decline in the years since. He offers new insights into why fewer people are choosing to have children, how the pandemic affected these trends, and what can be done about it. 
     
     
     
    In this book, Friedman addresses how views about work and family have changed; why men and women have different reasons for opting out of parenthood; how family has been redefined; what choices we face in our social and educational policy; and how organizations and individuals—especially men—can spur cultural change.

    Gender equity can't happen without racial equity. We need Shared Sisterhood. 
     
     
     
    Bias persists in organizations and society. Despite efforts that have been made in the last few decades, gender and racioethnic equity still hasn't been achieved. What's worse, Black, Indigenous, Asian, and Latina women are being held back more than their White counterparts. 
     
     
     
    Professor Tina Opie first started Shared Sisterhood as a movement to drive gender and racial equity in organizations. Since then, she and professor Beth A. Livingston have worked together to spread the word to leaders across organizations, with thousands of followers joining the cause. In this book, they explain how to use vulnerability, trust, empathy, and risk-taking to build Shared Sisterhood and break down three key parts of the process: 
     
     
     
    1. Dig into your own assumptions around racioethnicity, gender, and power 
     
     
     
    2. Bridge the divide between women of all backgrounds through authentic relationships 
     
     
     
    3. Advance all women across the organization and beyond 
     
     
     
    Balancing a mix of history, research, and real-life examples—including the authors' own experiences—this book encourages everyone to join Shared Sisterhood and advance equity for all.
