Flawed but Willing - Leading Large Organizations in the Age of Connection

Khurshed Dehnugara

Sinossi

Instability, disturbance, emergence, networks, informal learning, trial, error, adaptability, low growth, fluctuation and momentum – these are the experiences that dominate the lives of today’s business leaders. There is a growing awareness that the old industrial constructs of detailed planning, perfection and process are no longer working as effectively as we might wish in our large, established organizations.This book is a challenge to the way we relate to each other and lead businesses in the post-industrial age; it is full of passionate stories, reflections and insights. The writing inspires the practice of alternative forms of courage, acceptance of our imperfections and new methods of contact with each other as we navigate the changing nature of the workplace.

Accounting - Figuring out...

Gerard Howles

This is a 2-book combo, which has the following titles: 
  
  
Book 1: This book can help you save time and money! 
  
When doing taxes, accounting, or income statements, many people are puzzled. It starts with knowing what is what: the definitions. Then, filling out the balance sheets and the numbers, can be an equally complicated task as well. And finally, most people want to get the most out of their business or salary: The highest return, the lowest costs, and the lowest amount of taxes paid. 
  
All of these concerns are real and they won’t go away on their own. But at least, with a book like this, you can take one step in the right direction. 
  
This book’s aim is to teach you some of those necessary definitions, to break down what they mean, and to become more familiar with doing general accounting. 
  
If this is what you’ve been looking for, then I encourage you to pick up the book and start reading or listening to it. 
  
  
  
  
Book 2: This guide covers a whole range of topics related to doing your accounting tasks and numbers properly. Such topics include: 
  
Netting 
Advance payments 
Liquidation preference 
Rollover risk 
Leasebacks 
Gearing 
Liens 
Net interest margins 
Parallel loans 
Defeasance 
  
Many other words and their meanings will also be addressed. If you want to understand those metrics better, this book will be a great tool for you to become acquainted with the terminology and use of these issues.
