  From the founding director of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence comes the first comprehensive look at the remarkable capacity for intelligence exhibited by groups of people and computers working together. 
  Many people today are so dazzled by the long-term potential for artificial intelligence that they overlook the much clearer and more immediate potential for a new form of "collective intelligence": the intelligence of groups of people and computers working together. 
  In Superminds, Thomas Malone argues that in order to take advantage of this potential, we need to do three things. First, we must realize that groups of people and computers are greater than the sums of their parts—that, in fact, these groups have minds of their own. Second, we need to understand how to help these collectively intelligent groups become even smarter. And third, we must learn how to harness their power to serve our interests. 
  Groundbreaking and utterly fascinating, Superminds will change the way you work—both with others and with computers—for the better.

  Packed full of comprehensive research on the resources and strategies available to today's business owners, as well as the stories of business owners and leaders who have utilized them with great success, Each chapter will help you replace desperation with a solid plan of action, as you discover: 
     Why the most crucial employment strategy is perfecting your workplace culture 
     How to implement thoughtful, unique, and digitally-minded job advertising techniques 
     How to leverage the power of community, educational, and governmental networks and programs 
     How to harness the value in under-tapped labor pools like veterans, retirees, ex-offenders, and people with disabilities 
     And how to optimize your on-boarding and retention processes 
  In this tough labor market, where the job hunters have become the hunted, employers can’t rely on the hiring tactics of yesteryear. They have to ditch poorly placed “Help Wanted” ads and stop hiring every candidate who walks through the door. Instead, they must be thoughtful about who they want to hire, where and when they will advertise for open positions, how they want to onboard them, and why professional development matters. 
  Read it in part or in full—this encyclopedic guide to hiring and retention has every tip and tactic you need in the common-sense language you want to quickly and easily get off the hire/train/turnover treadmill and get your business FULLY STAFFED.

  What if someone told you that your behavior was controlled by a powerful, invisible force? Most of us would be skeptical of such a claim—but it's largely true. Our brains are constantly transmitting and receiving signals of which we are unaware. Studies show that these constant inputs drive the great majority of our decisions about what to do next—and we become conscious of the decisions only after we start acting on them. Many may find that disturbing. But the implications for leadership are profound.In this provocative yet practical book, renowned speaking coach and communication expert Nick Morgan highlights recent research that shows how humans are programmed to respond to the nonverbal cues of others—subtle gestures, sounds, and signals—that elicit emotion. He then provides a clear, useful framework of seven "power cues" that will be essential for any leader in business, the public sector, or almost any context. You'll learn crucial skills, from measuring nonverbal signs of confidence, to the art and practice of gestures and vocal tones, to figuring out what your gut is really telling you.This concise and engaging guide will help leaders and aspiring leaders of all stripes to connect powerfully, communicate more effectively, and command influence.

  Stand aside, we’re coming through! 
  That’s the cry of a new generation of technology vendors. They have a new approach to enabling success for their customers. And they’re thriving as a result. 
  These vendors all have subscription pricing at the heart of their business. Each has learned that if customers don’t feel they’ve had success, recurring revenue doesn’t grow and may even decline.  
  What makes them different? They have absolute clarity about what the customer considers success to be. And they’ve built their business around enabling that success. They know it’s the outcomes for the customer that count. They’re all members of the Outcome Generation. 
  This book shows how to join the Outcome Generation. You’ll learn how to leverage true customer success at every stage of the customer lifecycle. For existing customers, you’ll learn how to engage customer executives at the start of the buying cycle—and often create a buying cycle. 
  You’ll learn how to increase new business (new logo) sales by selling outcomes. And exactly what type of outcome to sell. You’ll create greater emotional connections, differentiate from the competition and win more business. 
  You’ll also learn how to evolve Services and Support to focus on enabling true customer success, and how that’s producing great references. 
  And Marketing will have a whole new way of attracting attention, creating interest and engaging prospects. 
  Most vendors have evolved past solution-selling and its approaches to marketing, sales, services and support. The Outcome Generation shows how to align the whole business around a common theme—enabling outcomes the customers regard as success. And why that allows vendors to thrive!
