Casa editrice: Berrett-Koehler Publishers

Sinossi

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.

Beyond Busyness - Time Wisdom...

Stephen Cherry

"a gift to any busy minister"
 - Dr Tim Ling

 
Beyond Busyness is a practical and effective step towards connecting up the limitations of time with the demands and realities of ministry. It helps ministers to take positive steps in developing a time wisdom which will help them navigate the very considerable pressures that many currently face.

 
"Beyond Busyness abounds with practical wisdom for those engaged in Christian Ministry. At a time when busyness, anxiety and stress characterise the lives of many of the Church's ministers, Stephen Cherry has written a much-needed book. It very effectively challenges ministers to reflect on how they approach and use the gift of time. Each of the short 28 sessions offers considerable insight into the nature of time and encourages ministers to confront their current habits and develop new life-giving practices through which their ministry can thrive and they can flourish. Every minister should spend time not only reading Beyond Busyness but integrating its wisdom into their lives."
 - DR JOCELYN BRYAN, Director of Postgraduate Studies, St John's College, Durham University

Financial Accounting Theory

IntroBooks Team

Financial accounting, commonly known in daily verbatim as ‘book keeping’, is one of the oldest practices integral of business management. Financial accounting is officially dated to the medieval ages when one of the first banking houses and groups gained importance towards the public and in commercial fields. The first bankers wanted an organised approach towards maintaining set references that would act as formally laid records for them, to be referred in the future or present, and were meant to keep in touch of the financial situation of the business. However, historically accounting methods go back to ancient times when prestigious records were required to be maintained.
Financial accounting is so important that nearly every management institute in the world compulsorily trains its students about it, teaching core principles and why it is important to develop a record keeping habit not just in the industry but personally as well. When seen from a personal point of view too, financial accounting can lend much support to one’s own finances. In our modern times, we see a number of apps and software on mobiles and computers specifically intended to maintain a record of our personal record. In its conceptual entirety, maintaining personal finances itself constitutes one of the practical forms of financial accounting.
In today’s world, no business can exist without a set of accounting system. A start-up with just four employees too needs an accountant for the manager to be in touch with the situation of his/her organisation. With finances and the economy becoming so dynamic as seen never before, it is thus an essential part on understanding accounting practices and why they constitute an important part of business management.
However, accounting theory is no one-page study; it requires much skills and know-how about all its concepts and definitions for anyone to be called as a qualified accountant. In this book, a brief explanation of accounting concepts is concerned, with special emphasis on its history and key concepts. Since accounting is more than just merely forming a table with figures, a detailed explanation of all the basic and key terms becomes vital. Through examples, an appropriate understanding of accounting theory becomes even clearer for the amateurs and those who would want to know more about financial accounting without going much into technical details. Finally, conclusion remarks will briefly outline the necessity of maintaining financial records and how accounting theory is yet another still-evolving concept. Since financial accounting encompasses almost everything related to business management, its importance in the corporate world as well as our personal lives will also be outlined through practical examples and theory.

Advice for Working Moms

Harvard Business Review, Daisy...

Your kid gets sick, so you leave work early—again. You're an expert at driving the carpool line and setting up for the morning meeting. You missed out on another stretch assignment because you don't have time. It's assumed you'll bake the treats for the fundraiser—and man the table.As a working mother you often draw the short straw. You carry most of the burden of caregiving and household chores—and your career suffers because of it. Bosses and coworkers assume that since you're focused on your family, you don't prioritize work, and they give crucial opportunities to those around you.Advice for Working Moms can help you alleviate this stress. Drawing on the wisdom of experts and parents alike, it will help you strike the right balance between family and work, all while navigating the long-standing bias against mothers and, more broadly, women in the workforce. You'll learn to: establish the boundaries you need at home and at work; negotiate flextime, time off, and maternity leave; facilitate your return to work after taking time off for caregiving; combat the "motherhood penalty"; negotiate a more equal division of labor at home with your partner; and say no to "office housework" and other menial tasks at work.
