Lean and Green - Profit for Your...

Pamela J Gordon

When it comes to believing that business can be profitable and environmentally sensitive, cynics abound on both sides. But in Lean and Green, Pamela Gordon proves that capitalism and environmentalism are not mutually exclusive-quite the contrary. She shows how "green" business practices enable organizations to save millions, even billions of dollars each year. Lean and Gree chronicles over one hundred examples of how people in twenty different organizations around the world-from clerks, farmers, and city employees to chemists and executives-have strengthened environmental practices and the balance sheet. She details waste-saving, profit-building acts as basic as Linda Gee at LSI Logic digging out usable pre-worn shoe covers to wear in the clean room, and as broad as the city of Santa Monica paving residential streets with white top to reduce urban heat and increase surface longevity. Drawing on her background as a leading business consultant, Gordon shows readers precisely how to sell their environmental ideas to management. She describes how to make the case in no-nonsense business terms, set concrete goals that the new practices will achieve, measure the economic results of the new practices, and make sure the right people hear about the results so that environmental initiatives continue. Each chapter includes a "Making It Easy" list of action steps for implementing lean and green improvements in the workplace easily and immediately. Lean and Green will inspire employees and employers alike to explore creative ways to simultaneously save the planet and bolster the bottom line.

Summary of Extreme Ownership -...

Concentrate

Summary of Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy Seals Lead and Win by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin 
In the book, “Extreme Ownership”, Jocko Willink states that a group is only as good as their leader. A true leader cannot lead alone, rather, they require a group behind them that is focused on the goal. Also, a leader can only be considered a good leader when their team reaches their goals on a regular basis.  
Willink describes that the leader needs to be modest and realize once they had been incorrect. Possessing mistakes and developing a method to right any errors is fundamental to be a successful leader. Leaders must keep the ego at the door, and their agenda is entirely specialized in their group, they need to ignore their agenda. Willink’s perception of a leader that is beneficial to their group as someone who can concentrate purely on the goal and bring the team together to reach that goal.  
This book contains a comprehensive, well detailed summary and key takeaways of the original book by Jocko Willink. It summarizes the book in detail, to help people effectively understand, articulate and imbibe the original work by Willink.

The End of Jobs - The Rise of...

Jeff Wald

As the robots rise, we are faced with the End of Jobs, but not in the way you might think . . .The world has witnessed three step functions in technological change: mechanization, electrification, and computerization. These industrial revolutions led to massive increases in productivity and thus the need for fewer workers. With each of these technological breakthroughs, the power balance between companies and workers shifted heavily to companies. The abuses of that power by companies instigated employee unrest and sometimes even armed uprisings. Counterbalancing forces rose to constrain companies' power, eventually prompting unions, regulation, and the social safety net to bring stability to the relationship.As we enter the fourth great leap forward in technology with robots and AI, we face the first services revolution. The power balance will again shift massively to companies as new technologies drive productivity increases in the service industry, much as the last three industrial revolutions transformed manufacturing. What lessons can we learn from the past three industrial revolutions and the current state of the labor market? How will we renegotiate the social contract to ensure fairness for workers, set clear rules for companies, and provide stability for society? What is the future of work?
