Intrabranding - The Keystone of Corporate Agility

Summary

Branding, or external corporate messaging, will fail unless your internal stakeholders know, accept, and adopt that messaging. The only remedy is intrabranding: continuously selling and enforcing your corporate brand inside your enterprise. The enterprise is akin to an arch, one of the strongest structural elements; intrabranding is the keystone of that arch. This wedge-shaped keystone holds the arch's other stones in compression and in place, enabling them, as a unit, to bear massive weight. No enterprise can succeed at branding without first excelling at intrabranding, and this book teaches CEOs why and how to do so. Only the agile can win. 
 
Marc Rudov, branding advisor to CEOs and author of Brand Is Destiny: The Ultimate Bottom Line and Be Unique or Be Ignored: The CEO's Guide to Branding, warns every chief exec: If you and your woke employees are more obsessed with social justice than attracting, retaining, and profitably serving paying customers, your company's agility and future are imperiled!

    The world is drowning in cash-and it's making us poorer and less safe. In The Curse of Cash, Kenneth S. Rogoff makes a persuasive and fascinating case for an idea that until recently would have seemed outlandish: getting rid of most paper money.Even as people in advanced economies are using less paper money, there is more cash in circulation-a record $1.4 trillion in U.S. dollars alone. So what is all that cash being used for? The answer is simple: a large part is feeding tax evasion, corruption, terrorism, the drug trade, human trafficking, and the rest of a massive global underground economy.As Rogoff shows, paper money can also cripple monetary policy. In the aftermath of the recent financial crisis, central banks have been unable to stimulate growth and inflation by cutting interest rates significantly below zero for fear that it would drive investors to abandon treasury bills and stockpile cash.The Curse of Cash offers a plan for phasing out paper money and addresses the issues the transition will pose, ranging from fears about privacy and price stability to the need to provide subsidized debit cards for the poor.

    THE C-LEVEL GUIDE TO SUCCEEDING WITH LEAN
    
     
    "With 30 years of accumulated experience, Art Byrne is one of the rare few people who can speak with authority about the pitfalls of fi nancial measurement systems, the importance of respect for people, the power of Lean in the marketplace, and the leverage from organizing people around value streams. When he writes 'Go to the Gemba and Run Your Kaizen,' we must take heed." -- MASAAKI IMAI, bestselling author of Kaizen and Gemba Kaizen
    
     
    "In this wonderful and important book, Byrne shows us that Lean management, understood and practiced correctly, consistently delivers spectacular results." -- BOB EMILIANI, author, Better Thinking, Better Results, and Professor, Connecticut State University
    
     
    "A compelling picture of how Lean techniques and attitudes enable CEOs and senior executives to create a culture for transforming a company and putting it on a highperformance path." -- JERRY J. JASINOWSKI, former President of the National Association of Manufacturers
    
     
    "Art Byrne provides real-world examples of how he exhibited the wisdom and courage to do the right thing, improving work practices at all levels of the organization to deliver the right results for all stakeholders. Which comes first, the wisdom or the courage? Read The Lean Turnaround to find out." -- JOHN SHOOK, Chairman and CEO, Lean Enterprise Institute
    
     
    "Lean is the closest thing to magic I have experienced in my 40 years in business. I recommend Lean and this book to everyone responsible for the performance of a business, particularly those in private equity like me, where leverage magnifies the importance of cash." -- JOHN CHILDS, founder and CEO, of J. W. Childs Associates L.P.
    
     
    "A must-read for any leader interested in understanding the strategic advantages from focusing on activities that add value to the customer experience." -- GARY S. KAPLAN, MD, Chairman and CEO of the Virginia Mason Health System
    
    Lean isn't just for manufacturing anymore . . .
    
     
    Few business leaders in the world have applied Lean strategy as successfully as Art Byrne has--and none has the ability to explain how to do it with such succinctness and clarity.
    
     
    Famous for turning around the wire management company Wiremold, where he rethought every aspect of operations from the customer's standpoint--and got everyone else in the company to do likewise--Byrne has successfully implemented Lean strategies in more than 30 companies in 14 different countries.
    
     
    In The Lean Turnaround, this legendary business leader shares everything he has learned during his remarkable career and shows how anyone can achieve similar results. His primary message is this: Lean strategy isn't just for manufacturing. In fact, Byrne is using this very approach in his present position at a private equity firm.
    
     
    Whatever type of company you run, Lean can be used to improve virtually every aspect of operations, from training and leading employees to accounting and payroll issues. The Lean Turnaround explains all the ins and outs of applying Lean strategy to:
    
     Eliminate waste in every value-added operation
    
    Deliver consistent value to customers
    
    Stimulate growth and add jobs
    
    Increase wealth for all your stakeholders
    
    Build a company culture of continuous improvement (kaizen)
    
    
    
     
    
    
     
    Instead of attempting to get customers to conform to your way of doing things--which is, sadly, what most managers are taught to do--you need to configure your company to be responsive to the customers. This is at the core of Byrne's method--and it always works.

    Can you become a millionaire on the stock market? The question of how to grow a small account undoubtedly occupies every trader’s mind. How do you manage to make a fortune out of a small amount? And preferably really fast? 
    Just as it is possible to build a real estate empire without a dollar of equity, so it is also possible to achieve high profits on the stock market with a small amount of starting capital (USD 5000 or less). 
    In this book, Heikin Ashi Trader presents a stock market strategy that will help the trader to succeed in this endeavor. Above all, he explains that the factor of position size plays a much more decisive role in trading success than is commonly assumed. The right question is not: how often are you right or wrong, but how big is your position if you are right? 
    This method is just about finding the markets where a significant movement can be expected. And once he has identified one, the trader should build a big position in that market, so that he can fully benefit from this movement.

    Piotr Alekséyevich Kropotkin (1842-1921) fue el principal, y el más admirado, anarcocomunista de las últimas décadas del siglo XIX y de las primeras del XX. Vivió lo suficiente para ver establecerse el comunismo en Rusia con Lenin, conocedor del compromiso de Kropotkin con el cambio político. Sin embargo, Kropotkin fue una figura revolucionaria muy diferente, pues defendió no solo el comunismo, sino también el anarcocomunismo, desconfiando e incluso despreciando el control del Gobierno central a favor de un sentido de la responsabilidad y del deber cívico más individual. En La Conquista del Pan, publicado por primera vez en 1892, Kropotkin expuso sus ideas sobre cómo podría funcionar su idealismo extremo. Algo que, al haber nacido en el seno de un familia aristocrática terrateniente, con más de 1 200 siervos varones, resultaba más extraordinario aún. No obstante, desde sus años de estudiante sus ideas liberales y su obsesión por la necesidad de un cambio social lo llevaron por el camino de la revolución, viéndose abocado rápidamente a décadas de exilio. Aún hoy La conquista del pan resulta una lectura fascinante. Es una apasionada, e incluso feroz, polémica que aboga por un drástico cambio social. Kropotkin se fija en las revoluciones europeas, desde la Revolución Francesa hasta los levantamientos de 1848 y los acontecimientos de finales del siglo XIX, y explica por qué acabaron fracasando. Al igual que Karl Marx, estaba convencido de que un importante levantamiento social era inevitable, pero él defendía una estructura social diferente, una en la que la innata bondad humana no solo venciera a la codicia individualista capitalista, sino que obviara la necesidad de un control autoritario por parte del Gobierno.La fe de Kropotkin en la humanidad y en la sensatez del ser humano puede parecer ingenua, pero sus lemas son convincentes. 'Todo es de todos', 'Bienestar para todos', 'Comunismo anarquista, el comunismo sin gobierno, el comunismo libertario: es la síntesis de dos ideales perseguidos por la humanidad a través de los tiempos', 'Libertad económica y política'. Sus opiniones abarcaban también otros ideales: la riqueza no debería ser acaparada por unos pocos, sino repartida en función de las necesidades de cada individuo; las mujeres deberían ser liberadas de los tradicionales trabajos pesados (predijo que nuevas máquinas aliviarían las cargas domésticas); la jornada laboral podría reducirse fácilmente a cinco horas diarias, permitiendo que hubiera más tiempo libre. Con estas innovaciones, sostiene Kropotkin, el futuro sería bien distinto. La Conquista del Pan es un texto político clásico con una visión idealista que puede que nunca llegue a materializarse, pero con unos puntos de vista difíciles, en la teoría, de rechazar. Traducción de León Ignacio.Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

    Logistics in World War II 1939–1943

    A history of the Second World War with a focus on supply, transport, and other crucial operations—includes photos.   Logistics, though less dramatic or glamorous than other aspects of war, nevertheless play a decisive role in the outcome of campaigns and battles. This book focuses on the role of logistics in World War II, marshaling some astounding facts and figures to convey the sheer scale of the task all belligerents faced to equip vast forces and supply them in the field.   Military historian John Norris also draws on firsthand accounts to illustrate what this meant for the men and women in the logistics chain and those depending on it at the sharp end. Many of the vehicles, from supply trucks to pack mules, and other relevant hardware are discussed and illustrated with numerous photographs. Numerous topics are covered—for example, how Hitler’s panzer divisions were kept rolling in the Blitzkrieg (a German division in 1940 still had around five thousand horses, requiring hundreds of tons of fodder) and the British army’s disastrous loss of equipment at Dunkirk. This is a fascinating and valuable study of a neglected aspect of World War II.
