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...

Building the Perfect Team: What...

Dr. Jim Anderson

An IT manager is only as good as his or her team is. This means that one of the most critical skills that an IT manager has is the ability to build the perfect team. The better a team that you can build, the better your team is going to make you look!

What You'll Find Inside:

IT LEADERS DEAL WITH THE THREE D’S: DEATH, DIVORCE, AND DISEASE
HOW TO KEEP YOUR TEAM FROM LEAVING AS THE ECONOMY IMPROVES
HOW DO IT LEADERS WRITE A GOOD JOB DESCRIPTION?
HOW TO HIRE IT PEOPLE: WHAT THEY NEVER TOLD YOU

Building a world-class IT team starts with the recruiting process. You are going to have to understand the challenges associated with hiring the right people and what it takes to ensure that you have a truly diverse team. Where to look for the best candidates can be confusing, but often they are located locally.

Getting good people for your team is not all that you have to do. Once you've gotten then, you now have the responsibility of managing their expectations – which in some cases can be quite high. When people agree to join your team, they have expectations that you'll have their back when life's challenges come along and you need to be aware of these expectations.

No team is fixed, there are always changes happening. As a successful IT manager you are going to have to make sure that your staff are not planning on leaving you. You need to prevent staffing disasters before they occur. When people do leave, it presents you with an open positon on your team that you need to fill correctly.

Filling jobs starts with the same steps – creating an accurate job description that lays out what you are looking for in your candidates. It's going to be up to you to select the right person for the open job, but the challenge is that most of us have never had any training in how to do this correctly. The best way to avoid these challenges is to find ways to keep the staff that you have and understand why they might consider leaving you.

GDP - The World's Most Powerful...

Ehsan Masood

'[A] tale of cloak and dagger intrigue, intense rivalries and political machinations you'd expect in a spy thriller.' Engineering & Technology

Gross Domestic Product is failing. For decades it has rewarded environmental destruction and obscured inequality. Its formula can be-and has been-gamed to the detriment of developing countries.

In this powerfully argued book, now updated with a new chapter, science writer Ehsan Masood shows how GDP fell from the path envisaged by its architects, and how its long-term misapplication has kept large parts of the world in poverty, while helping accelerate global warming and biodiversity loss.

As the world rebuilds after the coronavirus pandemic and the accompanying global recession, our need for a more sustainable and inclusive measure of economic growth has never been greater. Change must come if we are to break the cycle. With clarity and passion, Masood shows how we can update GDP for a better future.

Work Made Fun Gets Done! - Easy...

Bob Nelson, Felix Mario Tamayo

Bob Nelson, author of the multimillion-copy bestseller 1001 Ways to Reward Employees, and human performance expert Mario Tamayo offer hundreds of practical, creative tips for helping employees—and their managers—make work more fun. 
 
According to the employees that work for firms listed in Fortune's “100 Best Companies to Work for in America,” the most defining characteristic of these organizations is they are all “fun” places to work.  
 
Fun is the secret sauce every business needs to better engage and motivate its employees today. Work Made Fun Gets Done! gives readers simple, practical ideas for instantly bringing fun into their work and workplace. Based on examples from scores of companies like Zoom, Pinterest, Bank of America, Zappos, Honda, Microsoft, and many more, this book provides clear examples of exactly what managers and employees alike can do to lighten the tone in the work environment and allow employees to have more fun at work.  
 
From AAA's “Dump a Dog” program where workers can pass their least-wanted project on to their manager and Houzz's complimentary office slippers to CARFAX's themed-wardrobe Zoom meetings and Google's company-approved Nerf-gun battles and paper airplane contests, you'll find dozens of ideas you can immediately adapt and implement in your own workplace.  
 
Work and fun have typically been considered polar opposites, but this book proves they can be integrated in ways that produce more motivated workers—and exceptional results.
