Leaders Made Here - Building a Leadership Culture

Mark Miller

Summary

The business leadership expert and author of Chess, Not Checkers teaches you how to cultivate leadership for your growing business. 
 
You don't need to hope that leaders emerge from the ranks of your organization or that search firms can find the leaders you need in a timely fashion. Hope is not a strategy! In Leaders Made Here, Mark Miller teaches you how to build an organizational culture that will ensure your leadership pipeline is full and flowing. He offers clear, proven, and replicable strategies for nurturing leaders throughout the organization, from the front lines to the executive ranks.  
 
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.

Becoming A Better Boss - Why...

Julian Birkinshaw

Julian Birkinshaws previous book, Reinventing Management,  focused on how executives can challenge deep-seated assumptions  about how large organisations work, and how they can devise new and  better ways of working.    This book tackles the same problems from the other direction, that  is, by focusing on the choices each employee makes, every day,  about how we get our work done. The goal, essentially, is to  reinvent the practice of management one person at a time.  If  each one of us becomes more effective in our managerial work, we  dont just improve the working lives of those around us, we  also become agents of change for this broader endeavour as well   to build better businesses.  The book is in two main parts.  The first part provides the  motivation and background for the core ideas in the book: showing  how important it is to take management seriously (chapter 1),   sketching out the key dimensions of management and where it usually  goes wrong (chapter 2), and taking a deep dive into the worldview  of the employee (chapter 3).   The second part provides a detailed discussion of the three  alternative perspectives: a re-interpretation of management through  the eyes of the employee (chapter 4), an exploration of our own  biases and frailties and how we can overcome them (chapter 5), and  a discussion of the use of active experimentation to overcome the  limitations and pathologies of the organisations we work for  (chapter 6).   The final chapter explores briefly some of the ways the profession  of management might change in the future. What are the megatrends  that could lead to more fundamental changes in how we get work  done?   Web 2.0, demographic change (Gen Y/Gen Z), and  virtual working of course; and then there is the shift in power  from the West to the Asia.   The author doesnt  believe the basic activities of management are going to change  dramatically, but there are inevitably going to be shifts in  emphasis, and the chapter explores these.  .  Case examples: a large number of case studies of different   management experiments (e.g. Roche, Atlassian, Pfizer, Microsoft,  Google, If).

Basic Microeconomics

IntroBooks Team

As most of the things in the world are scarce, the allocation of these scarce resources becomes very important. Economics, whether micro or macro, is needed because of this scarcity. Microeconomics deals with individuals and firms. Microeconomics can also be termed as the study of supply and demand. It assumes rational behavior of consumers and perfect competition to make mathematical models. A perfectly competitive market adjusts the prices of goods and services by itself without any external intervention. It also makes the business feasible for all the players. Both the supply and demand are controlled by the price. Businesses use several microeconomic concepts to make important decisions like whether to expand or shrink the quantity produced, how to maximize the profit, etc. The ultimate objective of buyers and sellers is to maximize the utility.

Moving Through Walls - The Four...

Israel Ellis

When a boy’s childhood is deeply traumatized by abuse, nothing is predictable. 
In a world turned upside down, his innocence is marred by the injustice of his life. He becomes a shadow of unrealized potential until he discovers an internal voice…a knowingness that reveals an inner drive…the possibility for a future. At that moment he recognizes the gift that is his life and that he alone has the power to choose the outcome. Ultimately, he realizes his greatness despite the tide of circumstances working against him. 
In Moving Through Walls, Israel Ellis shares a lifetime of learning and conscious action that allowed that least-likely-to-succeed boy to transform himself and discover a life of love, peace, and success. Illuminated by personal and professional stories of pain, struggle, perseverance and triumph, Ellis distils the practices, philosophies and attitudes needed for anyone to achieve their personal best. 
Ellis demonstrates, through his own experience and compelling examples, his belief that we all have a choice to either move through the walls that limit our potential or be trapped in an endless pleasure-in-pain cycle. 
We all have the capacity for greatness; all that’s preventing you from realizing it…is you. 
Are you ready to gain clarity and succeed in your gift of life? 
That journey starts here. Now.

Man In The Browser - With Cookies

Jackson Moonga

My old friend in the College sent me this frightening, personality-threatening request:
"Hey Jackson, I know you are very good with the computer. I applied for a senior consultant role in one of the Fortune 500 companies. I have passed a series of interviews but was told they couldn't hire me because of my online reputation. How does this work?"
If you haven't googled your name or your business's name, NOW is the time to do so. An essential aspect of a profitable marketing strategy is to be aware of how your business or your personality appears to your ideal customers or prospective employers. You can be sure that your potential employers would have searched the internet looking for what people are saying about you. My old college friend wasn't aware of this, and it came as a surprise to him.
From our social media profiles, digital CVs, credit card transactions to online gaming sites and auction sites like eBay and Amazon, we are being searched online 24/7. When potential clients find your business or profile online, they are most likely to check your online reputation before making a decision. If you are unaware of what's being said online about your profile, it may cost you huge loss.
Man in the Browser is the book that helps you take control of yourself and digital footprint. If yours is already damaged, this book provides you with the steps to take in order to repair your online reputation.
This book is filled with industry tips, real-life situations, and powerful strategies to manage and control your online reputation.
