Simple Habits for Complex Times - Powerful Practices for Leaders

Jennifer Garvey Berger, Keith Johnstone

Beschreibung

When faced with complex challenges or uncertain outcomes, many leaders believe that if they are smart enough, work hard enough, or turn to the best management tools, they will be able to find the right answer, predict and plan for the future, and break down tasks to produce controllable results. But what are leaders to do when this isn't the case? 
 
Rather than offering one-size-fits-all tips and tricks drawn from the realm of business as usual, Simple Habits for Complex Times  provides three integral practices that enable leaders to navigate the unknown. By taking multiple perspectives, asking different questions, and seeing more of their system, leaders can better understand themselves, their roles, and the world around them. They can become more nimble, respond with agility, and guide their organizations to thrive in an ever-shifting business landscape. The more leaders use these simple habits, the more they enhance their performance and solve increasingly common, sticky business issues with greater acumen. 
 
Whether in large or small organizations, in government or the private sector, in the U.S. or overseas, leaders will turn to this book as a companion that helps them grow into the best version of themselves.

Secrets to Organizing a Speech...

THE 2 MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT A PUBLIC SPEAKER NEEDS TO DO WHEN THE CURTAIN GOES UP


 
Every speech has to start out well and this is a great opportunity to do some bragging about yourself to your audience. Al Gore has some tips for us so that we can understand what budgets we have to spend during our speech. If you get asked to give more than one speech in a day, you're going to have to know how to manage your voice for the duration. 

 
If you want your next speech to make an impression then you are going to have to find a way to inspire your audience. This all starts with how you plan on going on capturing your audience's attention. Networking with your audience is the key to getting them to listen to what you are going to be telling them. 

 
Everything that you do starts from the moment that the curtain goes up. What your audience thinks of you is often determined by the introduction. If you get asked to deliver a keynote, then you are going to need to get some guidance on how to create and deliver one successfully. 

 
In the end, it's how you choose to organize your speech that will determine the impact that it will have on your audience. Carefully creating a speech that has all of the parts that you are going to need in order to capture your audience's attention is what is going to make your next speech memorable.

This book is a great roadmap for those who want to reach their dreams. It is a must read."--Ken Chenault, Chairman and CEO, American Express  
Deep down, millions of Americans suspect they should have a sensible, comprehensive financial plan. Yet even as barriers to achieving financial security increase by the day, such a plan--one that covers everything from investing to insurance to education costs to retirement--continues to remain far more the exception than the rule.  
Make Yourself a Millionaire is today's most straightforward guidebook for ensuring that all of your family's financial needs are met. Award-winning financial advisor Charles Zhang--who became one of today's most successful financial advisors by stressing sane and sensible investing strategies over dubious, get-rich-quick tricks and schemes--draws on his years of experience to outline a clear and rational program guaranteed to organize and plan every aspect of your financial life.  
How can you gain the huge benefits of stock market investing while minimizing the risks? What type of life insurance should you have--and how much is too much? Zhang answers these questions and more as he discusses:  Guidelines for choosing a financial advisor that is right for you--and your situation Facts you need to know about stocks, mutual funds, bonds, annuities, REITs, and more Asset allocation strategies for cushioning against sudden market downturns When good investing goes bad--actual case studies of investors trying shortcuts to beat the market, and losing All about college savings plans, and how the popular 529 plan can afford you completely tax-free asset growth Estate planning techniques designed to save your heirs thousands of dollars in estate taxes   
Everyone who has a stake in the financial markets--and, today, that pretty much means everyone--should have a fundamental grasp of what they are investing in and why. Using real-life examples, plain-English explanations, helpful worksheets, and more, Make Yourself a Millionaire provides you with a wall-to-wall understanding of what you currently own versus what you need to own, and how to make them one and the same. Combining their textbook knowledge of financial planning with the unflinching honesty and empathy that have made them two of today's most sought-after financial planners, Charles Zhang joins with wife and fellow planning professional Lynn L. Chen-Zhang to give you the knowledge you need to live a rewarding life today, while assuring yourself a long and financially comfortable retirement.
