Leaders Made Here - Building a Leadership Culture

Mark Miller

Summary

Leaders Made HereGreat leaders create great organizations. However, a scarcity of leaders today means a shortfall in performance tomorrow. Don't gamble with your company's future!You don't need to hope that leaders emerge from the ranks or that search firms can find the leaders you need in a timely fashion. Hope is not a strategy! You can build an organizational culture that will ensure your leadership pipeline is full and flowing. Bestselling author and Chick-fil-A executive Mark Miller describes how to nurture leaders throughout the organization, from the front lines to the executive ranks. Leaders Made Here outlines a clear and replicable approach to creating the leadership bench every organization needs. To bring his ideas to life, Miller uses the story of Blake, a new CEO, and Charles and old friend and colleague, as they search for the best practices from around the world to ensure a continuous supply of their most precious asset – leaders. Blake and his team then translate their findings into a practical plan that any organization can use to create a leadership culture, sustained competitive advantage, and long-term success.

Progress and Poverty

George Henry

What I have done in this book, if I have correctly solved the great problem I have sought to investigate, is, to unite the truth perceived by the school of Smith and Ricardo to the truth perceived by the schools of Proudhon and Lasalle; to show that laissez faire (in its full true meaning) opens the way to a realization of the noble dreams of socialism; to identify social law with moral law, and to disprove ideas which in the minds of many cloud grand and elevating perceptions. (Summary by Henry George)

The Baker Chocolate Company - A...

Anthony M. Sammarco

Discover the true story behind America’s first chocolate company, formed in pre-Revolutionary New England.   In 1765, the story goes, Dr. James Baker of Dorchester, Massachusetts, stumbled upon a penniless Irish immigrant named John Hannon, who was crying on the banks of the mighty Neponset River. Hannon possessed the rare skills required to create chocolate—a delicacy exclusive to Europe—but had no way of putting this knowledge to use. Baker, with pockets bursting, wished to make a name for himself—and the two men would become America’s first manufacturers of this rich treat, using a mill powered by the same river upon which they met.   Local historian Anthony Sammarco details the delicious saga of Massachusetts’s Baker Chocolate Company, from Hannon’s mysterious disappearance and the famed La Belle Chocolatiere advertising campaign to cacao bean smuggling sparked by Revolutionary War blockades. Both bitter and sweet, this tale is sure to tickle your taste buds.

Good Works! - Marketing and...

David Hessekiel, Philip Kotler,...

Businesspeople who mix cause  and commerce are often portrayed as sinners or saints:  Either they are heartless,  opportunistic corporate "causewashers" cynically exploiting  nonprofits to make a buck, or they are visionary social  entrepreneurs for whom conducting trade is just a necessary evil in  their quest to create a better world.       Instead of black and white,  the intersection of doing well and doing good is painted many  shades of gray.  Over the past 30 years, corporations have  created numerous programs that generate significant resources for  nonprofit partners while achieving business objectives.   Stadiums could be filled with all the social entrepreneurs who've  learned the hard way that a commitment to "doing the right thing"  alone is not enough to guarantee commercial viability.   Whether one works for a Fortune 500 behemoth or a start-up, cause  marketing requires a delicate balancing act between what it takes  to generate financial and social dividends.  Cause marketing  is not a panacea, but for many businesses it can yield tremendous  returns.  For many businesspeople, it can add tremendous  personal satisfaction to a job well done.  This is a cause MARKETING  book, not a CSR treatise.  It is meant for businesspeople who  want their work to generate positive social impacts, but need to  produce bottom line business results.  Written in a practical,  "were in this together" style, it makes the case that  purpose-driven marketing has moved from a "nice to do" to a "must  do" for businesses that want to thrive in today's marketplace.
