Summary

As business becomes more environmentally conscious, new practices are emerging that help the food and hospitality sector operate sustainably. This book, the first of its kind, is a practical and affordable guide for restaurants, hotels, resorts, clubhouses, bed and breakfasts, tour operators, and food services on how to deliver a more environmentally friendly service.

The hospitality sector is poised to be a change-maker within the realm of commerce and sustainability. With that power and ability to influence our communities is the vast potential to make a positive impact on the world. The planet needs leaders in sustainability, and that leadership does not go unrecognized. Customers also want to see action, and they are starting to choose businesses with values that match their own.

The financial benefits of going green are a powerful incentive for business owners. Going green has great perks such as increased marketability of your business, staff retention due to stronger corporate ethics, and the financial benefits that can be gained through eco-efficiencies.

By greening your hospitality company and taking action on areas such as alternative energy, waste reduction, sustainable purchasing, and community support, you will be paving the way toward a shift in your corporate culture, increased efficiencies and revenue, and a new, loyal clientele that looks for sound environmental practices. You will also be able to measure the change in your environmental impact, and develop the potential to influence other companies.

    This “gripping” New York Times bestseller from the host of CNN podcast Behind the Desk tells the true story—and backstage drama—of late-night comedy (Los Angeles Times).   When beloved host Johnny Carson announced his retirement after thirty years on The Tonight Show, millions of Americans mourned. But inside the television industry, the news ignited a battle between two amazing talents—Jay Leno and David Letterman—who both yearned to occupy the departing legend’s chair. For NBC, it would be a decision with millions of dollars at stake. Soon these two comedians with strikingly different styles, who had once shared a friendship as they worked the clubs together, would be engaged in a fierce competition for the prize.   Based on in-depth reporting and interviews with those involved, and updated with a new introduction by the author—a producer of CNN series The Story of Late Night—The Late Shift is a “vivid, behind-the-scenes, blow-by-blow account” of the fight that ensued, as stars, agents, and executives maneuvered for control of the most profitable program in TV history (Chicago Tribune).   “Remarkably gripping . . . Takes us deep into the bizarre high-stakes world of broadcasting . . . A powerful story, and ultimately a sad one, filled with casualties as well as winners.” —The New York Times Book Review   “Solid reporting, based on extensive interviews with the principals, lifts The Late Shift into a class of its own. . . . The insights into the people involved are what make [the book] a page-turner.” —Orange Country Register

    Physicians lead. It’s an integral part of what they do. They lead patients, they lead healthcare teams, they lead colleagues, departments, and organizations. But most doctors receive very little training in leadership.Leon E. Moores, MD, DSc, FACS is a neurosurgeon and seasoned healthcare leader who literally “wrote the book” on physician leadership for the U.S. Army. A West Point graduate, Moores became an officer and a surgeon in the Army and recognized how the lack of formal leadership training for doctors impacts physician effectiveness, team performance, and patient outcomes. Along with a team of highly accomplished colleagues, he created the physician leadership development program that has been widely referenced by the U.S. military. Moores now shares that leadership wisdom, and the lessons he has learned through decades of healthcare organization leadership, with physicians everywhere and with all readers passionate about improving healthcare.

    The author of When Corporations Rule the World presents a critical handbook for economic revolution in this revised and updated edition. 
 
Despite the lessons learned from the economic meltdown of 2008, we are more vulnerable than ever to the same kind of economic havoc. Wall Street executives have returned to their culture of massive bonuses, and our leaders in Washington remain unwilling to make desperately needed fundamental changes to the economy. Change will instead have to come from below. Agenda for a New Economy is the handbook for that revolution. 
 
In this revised and updated edition David Korten has fleshed out his vision of the alternative to the corporate Wall Street economy: a Main Street economy based on locally owned, community-oriented “living enterprises” whose success is measured as much by their positive impact on people and the environment as by their positive balance sheet.  
 
We will lose nothing in the process because, as Korten ably demonstrates, the supposed services Wall Street offers are simply a con game. And Korten now offers more in-depth advice on how to mount a grassroots campaign to bring about an economy based on shared prosperity, ecological stewardship, and citizen democracy.
