Synopsis

"Travis Kalanick's Uber" presents a compelling analysis of how a revolutionary ride-sharing platform transformed urban transportation and created a new paradigm in the gig economy. The book meticulously traces Uber's evolution from a luxury black car service to a global mobility powerhouse, focusing on three pivotal aspects: the company's innovative business model, Kalanick's ambitious leadership approach, and the widespread disruption of traditional transportation systems worldwide.Drawing from extensive research, including internal documents and firsthand accounts, the narrative explores how Kalanick identified critical inefficiencies in the traditional taxi medallion system and leveraged emerging smartphone technology to create a solution. The book progresses chronologically through key phases: Uber's San Francisco launch, its aggressive global expansion through UberX, and its eventual transformation into a multi-modal transportation platform.Particularly fascinating is the examination of how the company navigated complex regulatory challenges across different markets while maintaining its rapid growth trajectory. The book offers unique insights into the intersection of technology innovation and urban mobility, analyzing Uber's impact on everything from consumer behavior to labor markets.Through detailed case studies from major markets like New York, London, and Shanghai, readers gain a comprehensive understanding of how one company's disruptive approach reshaped transportation economics and urban development patterns. This analytical yet accessible account serves both business professionals and general readers interested in technological disruption, making it a valuable resource for understanding modern entrepreneurship and innovation in regulated industries.

    All across the country, the best and most competitive companies are  creating great cultures in which employees consider it their  pleasure to give the best possible service to customers.    Even in hard economic times, accomplishing that is not only  possible but absolutely essential.  If customers don't have  much money to spend, where are they going to spend it?  At a  place where employees sullenly and begrudgingly take their money or  one where they are happy to be of service?   Based on a patent-pending Values Blueprint process, this book  from culture change expert Ann Rhoades shows the exact steps for  curing an ailing company culture or creating a new one from  scratch. Developed from Rhoades' years of experience with  Southwest, Jet Blue, Doubletree Hotels, P.F. Chang's and the many  clients of People Ink, she has proven, over and over, that  companies that create or improve values-based cultures become  higher performers, both in customer satisfaction and in financial  return.  Rhoades helps companies get on the pathway to greatness by  turning around their cultures. The key is to focus on both the big  picture and the smallest detail at the same time.  This book  is based on that very principle. Changing a culture starts with  getting the basics right (values and behavior at the C-level). Then  the big things (hiring the right people, keeping them and  delighting customers) fall more easily into place.               This book provides a clear blueprint for how to accomplish  culture change. It also offers inspiring examples and cases from a  wide range of industries. Readers will learn:        Why "living the values" is  the first principle in leading people successfully        How to exceed the  expectations of employees and customers by living the values        How to develop a Values  Blueprint and put it into action        Why it's essential to  hire, fire and reward people based on values alone and        How to establish a  discipline for sustaining a values-centric culture

    Recognised by Forbes, the World Economic Forum, Financial Times and more… creativity is the skill most critically in demand for the future of work and education. 
    So why don’t we have it?  
    And how should you learn it? 
    In this book Christopher S. Sellers articulates the creativity problem—how standard education devalues creative intelligence, why collaboration and productivity cripple creative process. 
    Drawing on Steve Jobs, Diane Arbus, Aristotle, Uber, Tarantino and some sleight of hand, Christopher offers a radical new language to practically apply your creativity. 
    APPLIED CREATIVITY is essential reading for leadership seeking to navigate disruption, adapt, solve and innovate; providing a practical framework to sharpen creative strengths, develop creative intelligence and lead revolutionary change. 
    “Unlocking creativity is more than deciding to take an art class. 
    It’s learning a new set of skills, ways of thinking and looking at the world 
    Applied Creativity will do just what it promises; open up unlimited creativity” 
    Diego Pineda - Author of ‘The Solo Thought leader’.
