Summary of The ONE Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan | Includes Analysis

Preview:

The ONE Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan is a business-centered, self-help book about finding a more narrow focus in life. Keller’s business life was busy and cluttered until he came to the realization that, by stepping down from his position as chief executive officer and focusing on building the company through a concentrated task, he could facilitate stronger growth than what he created by being involved in many different tasks. Just as small dominoes can topple larger dominoes, big achievements can be gained through a series of apparently minor actions that build momentum over time.

A narrow focus on one product is evident in many of the most successful companies, including Apple and Intel. Some of the most successful people embarked on their path to success as the result of one personal connection. They also often have shared a single-minded focus on one subject or passion, like a sport or country...

What Money Can't Buy - The Moral...

Michael J. Sandel

Should we pay children to read books or to get good grades? Should we allow corporations to pay for the right to pollute the atmosphere? Is it ethical to pay people to test risky new drugs or to donate their organs? What about hiring mercenaries to fight our wars? Auctioning admission to elite universities? Selling citizenship to immigrants willing to pay?In What Money Can't Buy, Michael J. Sandel takes on one of the biggest ethical questions of our time: Is there something wrong with a world in which everything is for sale? If so, how can we prevent market values from reaching into spheres of life where they don't belong? What are the moral limits of markets?In recent decades, market values have crowded out nonmarket norms in almost every aspect of life-medicine, education, government, law, art, sports, even family life and personal relations. Without quite realizing it, Sandel argues, we have drifted from having a market economy to being a market society. Is this where we want to be?In his New York Times bestseller Justice, Sandel showed himself to be a master at illuminating, with clarity and verve, the hard moral questions we confront in our everyday lives. Now, in What Money Can't Buy, he provokes an essential discussion that we, in our market-driven age, need to have: What is the proper role of markets in a democratic society-and how can we protect the moral and civic goods that markets don't honor and that money can't buy?

A fundamental shift needs to take place in the way businesses  view and treat their existing customers.  Rather than being  taken for granted, the current customer base needs to be seen as  one of a companys most valuable assets.  The Hidden Power of Your Customers helps  business leaders build on the basics and presents the four key  parts for keeping and achieving growth from existing  customers. The Hidden Power of Your  Customers shares practical steps, inspirational stories,  and real-world examples that help leaders of businesses grow their  companies by creating a customer strategy that keeps customers  coming back for more.  The four key parts are:    Relevant Marketing  Orchestrated Customer Experience  Customer-Focused Metrics  Killer Customer Service
