Summary

Plenty of research has been done on why companies go terribly wrong, but what makes companies go spectacularly right? That’s the question that Kim Cameron asked over a decade ago. Since then, Cameron and his colleagues have uncovered the principles and practices that set extraordinarily effective organizations apart from the merely successful. 

In his previous book Positive Leadership, Cameron identified four strategies that enable these organizations, and the individuals within them, to flourish: creating a positive climate, positive relationships, positive communication, and positive meaning. Here he lays out specific tactics for implementing them. These are not feel-good nostrums—study after study (some cited in this book) have proven positive leadership delivers breakthrough bottom-line results. Thanks to Cameron’s concise how-to guide, now any organization can be “positively deviant,” achieving outcomes that far surpass the norm.

  • Paper Money Collapse - The Folly of Elastic Money and the Coming Monetary Breakdown - cover

    Paper Money Collapse - The Folly...

    In an engaging style based on extensive research, Paper Money  Collapse shows conclusively why paper money systems - monetary  systems that are based on an elastic and constantly expanding  supply of money (such as our system today) as opposed to a system  of commodity money of essentially fixed supply - are inherently  unstable and why they must lead to economic disintegration. All  paper money systems in history ended in failure. The book shows why  this must be the case and why it will also be the fate of the  present system. The conclusions are controversial as they go  against the present consensus, which holds that elastic state money  is superior to inflexible commodity money (such as a gold  standard), and that expanding money is harmless or even beneficial  for as long as inflation stays low. The book shows that the present  crisis is the unavoidable result of continuously expanding fiat  money, that the current policy of accelerated money production to  stimulate the economy is counterproductive and that,  if pursued further, it will lead to a complete collapse of the  monetary system.   Paper money systems are confidence games. When the public  realizes that the printing press is increasingly used to keep  states and banks solvent, this confidence will evaporate quickly.  The endgame will then be sovereign default, hyperinflation and  economic chaos.

    The New Geography of Jobs

    We're used to thinking of the US in opposing terms: red versus blue, haves versus have-nots. But today, there are three Americas. At one extreme are the brain hubs — cities like San Francisco, Boston, and Durham — with workers who are among the most productive, creative, and best-paid on the planet. At the other extreme are former manufacturing capitals that are rapidly losing jobs and residents. The rest of America could go either way.For the past 30 years, the three Americas have been growing apart at an accelerating rate. This divergence is one the most important developments in the history of the US and is reshaping the very fabric of our society, affecting all aspects of our lives, from health and education to family stability and political engagement. But the winners and losers aren't necessarily who you'd expect.Enrico Moretti's groundbreaking research shows that you don't have to be a scientist or an engineer to thrive in one of the brain hubs. Carpenters, taxi-drivers, teachers, nurses, and other local service jobs are created at a ratio of five-to-one in the brain hubs, raising salaries and standard of living for all. Dealing with this split — supporting growth in the hubs while arresting the decline elsewhere — is the challenge of the century, and The New Geography of Jobs lights the way.

    Drawing on his more than two decades as a Navy SEAL, Steve Giblin uses his own experiences to offer wisdom and counsel on how to cope with the new normal imposed by COVID-19.During his first few weeks as a Navy SEAL, Steve Giblin found a typewritten document left behind in an old desk drawer by the Team commanding officer, entitled "The Ten Essential Qualities of an Underwater Demolition Man." That single page, and the maxims it contained, followed Steve wherever he was based during his twenty-six-year career with the SEALs—fourteen of those as part of the legendary strike force that took down Osama bin Laden. Steve still lives by those tenets today, coming to realize how it laid out a regimen not just for elite warriors, but also for the rest of us in our day-to-day lives.Now Steve has applied them to this post-COVID-19 world we find ourselves living in, a new normal that will test both our resolve and our psyches as we're challenged as we've never been before. Applying his own experiences as a Navy SEAL to these everyday rigors, Steve provides a prescription for both healing and thriving, a guide map to get to the other side better and stronger than we were at the beginning of a journey none of us signed up for. We're all walking in mud; thankfully, this book offers the best and surest strategy to lift ourselves from it.
