Summary

The former Microsoft CEO and an executive coach trained by Zig Ziglar share their business philosophy of balancing IQ with emotional intelligence. 
 
Rick Belluzzo and Krish Dhanam offer their “Lessons from the Boardroom to the Break Room” based on their extensive experience with companies such as Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, Quantum, and the Zig Ziglar Corporation. This little book captures their wisdom in capsule form, designed to guide readers along the path to a point where IQ meets EQ and quality of life results. When head and heart, skill and will, and strategic formula and emotional foundation merge, leaders can excel professionally and personally, and organizational cultures become more dynamic and productive. 
 
“Running a successful business requires IQ and EQ (emotional intelligence) because decisions affect people . . . With a business world where change is the new normal, you need EQ and IQ to prosper.” —The Dallas Morning News 
 
“Rick Belluzzo and Krish Dhanam are living embodiments of their brand of leadership philosophy . . . [they] believe it is imperative that executives not only be able to steer their companies through these times of trouble, but also effectively communicate the need to change and their vision for doing so to employees.” —Trinidad & Tobago Guardian

    When there are 6 million private sector small and medium-sized businesses within the UK, why is it that just 4% of them scale beyond 10 employees/around £1m turnover? And, equally importantly, what is preventing 75% of these from then scaling beyond 50?  
Drawing on BizSmart’s own research and experiences of working with hundreds of owner-managers, Kevin Brent explores the key reasons why most organisations do not scale and how the challenges change as they reach different milestones on the scaleup journey. He then details a practical step-by-step guide to successfully navigate between the milestones in the form of ESUS – a proven system for entrepreneurs to scale up.  
By reading this book and following BizSmart’s system, you will: 
Truly understand what it takes to become one of the 4% and build a more valuable business 
Become a more effective and confident leader 
Rediscover your passion in your business and be inspired to aim higher 
Understand how to harness the power of your people and gain more control over your business 
Increase the productivity and profitability of your business and make sure that you get ‘paid first’! 
BizSmart’s programmes have recently joined a select group of programmes endorsed by the ScaleUp Institute in the UK.

    An early figure in the birth of poetry in industrial Manchester, Ann Hawkshaw published three collections and another was circulated privately. Her first collection. published in Manchester and London in 1842, begins with an epic poem, Dionysius the Areopagite. Based on the New Testament story of the conversion of Dionysius by St Paul, much of the poem centres on the consequences of Dionysius' conversion for his betrothed, Myra, and her sister, Corrina. The collection also includes two of Hawkshaw's most important works, The Past and The Future, and a number of shorter poems on themes of history, loss and faith. (Summary by Phil Benson)

    Control, Conquer, and Prevail! Everybody's biased. The truth is, we all harbor unconscious assumptions that can get in the way of our good intentions and keep us from building authentic relationships with people different from ourselves. Tiffany Jana and Matthew Freeman use vivid stories and fun (yes, fun!) exercises and activities to help us reflect on our personal experiences and uncover how our hidden biases are formed. By becoming more self-aware, we can control knee-jerk reactions, conquer fears of the unknown, and prevail over closed-mindedness. In the end, Jana and Freeman's central message is that you are not the problem—but you can be the solution.
