Managing Cybersecurity Risk - How Directors and Corporate Officers Can Protect their Businesses

Jonathan Reuvid

Sinossi

‘Managing Cybersecurity Risk is a comprehensive and engrossing guide for organizations of any size’ Infosecurity Magazine 
Everything you need to know to protect from and react to a cyber attack  
Cybersecurity risk is an increasingly key topic to all those engaged in business and commerce. Widely reported and increasing incidents of cyber invasion have contributed to the growing realisation that this is an area all businesses should understand, be prepared for and know how to react when attacks occur. 
While larger corporates now pay close attention to defending themselves against cybersecurity infringement, small to medium businesses remain largely unaware of the scale and range of threats to their organisations. 
The aim of Managing Cybersecurity Risk is to provide a better understanding of the extent and scale of the potential damage that breaches of cybersecurity could cause their businesses and to guide senior management in the selection of the appropriate IT strategies, tools, training and staffing necessary for prevention, protection and response. 
Foreword by Baroness Pauline Neville-Jones, Chair of the Advisory Panel on Cyber Security and contributors include Don Randall, former Head of Security and CISO, the Bank of England, Ray Romero, Senior Assistant Director, Division of Information Technology at the Federal Reserve Board and Chris Gibson, Director of CERT-UK.

Engineering Business Success -...

Herb Johnson

Herb Johnson believes that we are meant to live abundantly. We are designed to live the good life, with the freedom and creativity to follow our passions. What will defeat us is an attitude of impoverishment—the belief that we are undeserving, so why should we try. In Engineering Business Success, Johnson explores the structure of success. Many books overflow with detail about business systems—important, yes, but they don’t reveal the big picture of what it takes to succeed. What fundamentally must be in place to open and effectively operate a successful business? As an engineer and as a businessperson, Johnson has written an important resource for both. But his book is for anyone who wants to make something of himself or herself, because the themes here are central to winning. Business opportunities abound in our society, and Johnson shows you what you should be looking for, and what needs to be in place if you are to win. So many businesses fail right out of the gate, and Johnson has the antidote so that it won’t happen to you. Foremost, he says, you need to seize the responsibility to serve— to serve your industry, your clients, and your stakeholders. That is the underpinning of success.
In Engineering Business Success, Herb Johnson shares what he has learned in his 28 years at the helm of the thriving company that he founded. And he shares what he has learned in life, since his boyhood rural upbringing, through his years as a young engineer, and as he has worked to make the most of his business. Johnson’s story demonstrates the trajectory of following one’s passion—and doing so with the spirit of service and with the business savvy that he has learned along the way.

From Impressed to Obsessed - 12...

Jon Picoult

If you're aspiring to satisfy your customers, then you’re aspiring to mediocrity.That's the fascinating premise of From Impressed to Obsessed, a book that will fundamentally change how you think about creating a successful, beloved business.Acclaimed customer experience expert Jon Picoult explains why building customer loyalty requires leaving indelible positive impressions on everyone you work with—not just shaping their experiences, but also shaping their memories.  Picoult explores the cognitive science behind great customer experiences, pinpointing the breakthrough, psychology-based strategies that both industry leaders (like Apple, Disney, and Southwest Airlines) as well as fast-growing startups (like BILT and Framebridge) use to shape people's perceptions and sculpt unforgettable impressions—thereby turning more sales prospects into customers, and more customers into obsessed brand ambassadors.Packed with intriguing case studies, engaging stories, and eye-opening research, the book details these proven principles and illustrates how they can be applied to almost any type of business or customer. Examples include cases that show how to:● Create Peaks & Avoid Valleys—leverage the science of memory to etch positive impressions in people's minds, by creating greater experiential peaks and fewer experiential valleys.● Give the Perception of Control—the almost magical power of giving customers a sense of agency, via choice and expectation-setting, causing them to feel better about the experience a business is already delivering.● Make It Effortless—make interactions easy for customers, not just from a physical perspective, but also a cognitive one, to satisfy today's demand for simplicity and convenience.● Stir Emotion—harness the power of emotion as a memory cue, by infusing customer experiences with emotional resonance, highlighting positive feelings while stemming negative ones.No matter what kind of constituency you serve—customers or colleagues, individuals or institutions, employees or employment candidates—this book will help you do it with distinction. Picoult's message is particularly relevant for managers, as he shows the parallels between how great companies cultivate engagement with customers, and how great leaders accomplish the same with their workforce.From Impressed to Obsessed reveals the what, the why, and—most importantly—the how behind great customer experiences. Filled with actionable insights, the book provides an invaluable roadmap for becoming the company that everyone wants to do business with, the employer everyone wants to work for, and the leader everyone wants to follow."From Impressed to Obsessed is an enlightening read. Excellence is never an accident, and Jon Picoult brilliantly pulls the curtain back to reveal how great companies inspire customer loyalty. If you endeavor to be the rare business that customers find magnetic or even magical, then this is the book for you." —Horst Schulze, cofounder and former President and CEO, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company"What a great, insightful, practical book! With his 12 Principles, Jon Picoult gives us an incredibly thoughtful and actionable guide to delivering lifelong fans, which is the dream of any business." —Hubert Joly, former Chairman and CEO, Best Buy"From Impressed to Obsessed is one of the few books that made me look at leadership differently after nearly 40 years of executive coaching! Picoult deftly illustrates how the very techniques that help cultivate loyalty between a customer and a company, can also be used to accomplish the same between a leader and an employee. No matter what type of constituency you serve in your role—customers, colleagues, employees or others—this book will help you do it with distinct

Tithing is for Today -...

Peter Collins Obeng

Discover the Truth on Tithing the way the New Testament teaches it. 
The vital truth is that a countless number of Christians tithe, but are not convinced about the practice. They just follow the tradition of the church without a sound biblical understanding of the subject of tithing. 
Christendom, at large, is divided on tithing. 
There is a section of Christians who sincerely believe tithing is too legalistic and must be limited to the dispensation of the Law, while others believe that the practice is still relevant, and through tithing, they can be part of what God is doing in the world today. 
The main reason for these sentiments is that, in most of our teachings on tithing, we hardly touch on the Melchizedek order which serves as a guide to the practice — and whereby faith, we consecrate our tithes to Christ — the Great and true Melchizedek, as an act of worship. We rather explain the practice and persuade Christians to tithe, using Scriptures that are relative only to the system of tithing under the Law. This creates confusion, misunderstanding and apathy on the part of some Christians who believe that they are not under the Law but grace. 
In Tithing Is for Today, Peter Collins Obeng shares insights from the Word of God that bring understanding and clarity for God's people to discover the truth on tithing — the way the New Testament teaches it.

The Happiness Track - How to...

Emma Seppala

A leading expert on health psychology, well-being, and resilience argues that happiness is the key to fast tracking our professional and personal success.
Everyone wants to be happy and successful. And yet the pursuit of both has never been more elusive. As work and personal demands rise, we try to keep up by juggling everything better, moving faster, and doing more. While we might succeed in the short term, it comes at a cost to our well-being, relationships, and, paradoxically, our productivity. In The Happiness Track, Emma Seppala, the science director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education at Stanford University, explains that our inability to achieve sustainable fulfillment is tied to common but outdated notions about success. We are taught that getting ahead means doing everything that’s thrown at us (and then some) with razor-sharp focus and iron discipline; that success depends on our drive and talents; and that achievement cannot happen without stress.
The Happiness Track demolishes these counter-productive theories. Drawing on the latest findings from the fields of cognitive psychology and neuroscience—research on happiness, resilience, willpower, compassion, positive stress, creativity, mindfulness—Seppala shows that finding happiness and fulfillment may, in fact, be the most productive thing we can do to thrive professionally. Filled with practical advice on how to apply these scientific findings to our daily lives, The Happiness Track is a life-changing guide to fast tracking our success and creating the anxiety-free life we want.
