  A Pathway to American Renewal -...

  Sr Robert L. Woodson

  This challenging and inspiring collection of essays constructively frames the story of Black America—not as a tragedy involving helpless victims, but as a model for the nation. Scholars and grassroots leaders recount the history—the gritty, painful, but often triumphant account of what blacks accomplished after slavery was ended. Denied access to the institutions of white America, they built their own churches, schools, hotels, and a host of other successful enterprises. Their resilience produced amazing increases in literacy, family formation, and income. 
   
   
   
  Today's unsung grassroots leaders are the living evidence of the power of resilience. They use their stories of overcoming adversity and their own fallibility to help others. The organizations they create heal their communities. 
   
   
   
  This volume presents the insights of scholars who warn of the dangerous forces that threaten to shackle the ability of blacks to succeed today. They warn that, by accepting the notion that black adversity continues to be the product of systemic racism and is therefore unchangeable, no one would need to step up to the realities of a responsible life. This kind of thinking has led to lowering standards in education and even in the judicial system. The scholars outline positive paths to the future.

  MOVE - How to Build Strategy...

  Developed by Tim Lewko, a twenty-five-year strategy veteran, MOVE shows leaders how to embed artificial intelligence (AI) directly into the strategy process and validate strategic bets, pressure-test assumptions, and adapt faster than the competition—all while maintaining control over final decisions. 
   
  Traditional strategy frameworks cannot keep up with trade wars, supply chain disruptions, and shifting consumer behavior, and leaders can no longer afford to wait for annual planning cycles or lengthy strategy retreats. MOVE responds to this rapid change by simplifying strategy into a clear, repeatable system of seven essential tools—all powered by AI to accelerate decision-making and execution. It's a practical, leadership-owned operating system that aligns strategic assumptions, project prioritization, and quarterly execution cycles. 
   
  Through examples, this book reveals how AI can power real-time data analysis, surface critical indicators that signal when a strategic bet is veering off-course, and show when emerging threats require immediate attention. In a rapidly changing world, MOVE is a key tool for senior executives, business leaders, board members, CEOs, presidents, and P&L owners to regain control across the entire execution cycle.

  Killing Sacred Cows 20 - Crush...

  What if you have been lied to about money and investing? How soon would you want to find out? 
  What if you could become far wealthier, much sooner, by doing the opposite of what you have been taught by financial pundits and mainstream media? You can when you conquer the financial myths exposed in this book. 
  Listen to Killing Sacred Cows to discover these revolutionary principles and more: 
  Net worth is a poor indicator of wealth and your ability to retire well. What matters is cash flow, and this book will teach you how to develop it. 
  Wealth is a byproduct of a life well lived. Budgeting and sacrifice are at odds with building wealth and enjoying life along the way. 
  Debt may not be what you think it is. Learn the proper definition of debt to increase your prosperity. 
  Become a better investor by discovering and developing your Investor DNA. Learn how to reduce risk, stop wasting money and time, and get better returns with less risk. 
  Escape the trap of scarcity and the dogmatic accumulation model. It doesn’t take money to make money, or require risk to get returns. You especially don’t have to wait thirty years for compound interest to kick in to be financially independent. 
  Money mindsets can be shaped in a moment, but have lifelong, tragic effects. Hard work with the wrong philosophy (myths) can lead to limitation, frustration—even bankruptcy. 
  Of course, Killing Sacred Cows isn’t for everyone—just those who want to make more money, keep more money, and make fewer mistakes with their money. 
  If you’re tired of following the herd and getting slaughtered by inflation, taxes, and the market, this book is for you.

  Mission Economy - A Moonshot...

  Longlisted for the 2021 Porchlight Business Book Awards, Big Ideas & New Perspectives 
  “She offers something both broad and scarce: a compelling new story about how to create a desirable future.”—New York Times 
   An award-winning author and leading international economist delivers a hard-hitting and much needed critique of modern capitalism in which she argues that, to solve the massive crises facing us, we must be innovative—we must use collaborative, mission-oriented thinking while also bringing a stakeholder view of public private partnerships which means not only taking risks together but also sharing the rewards.  
  Capitalism is in crisis. The rich have gotten richer—the 1 percent, those with more than $1 million, own 44 percent of the world's wealth—while climate change is transforming—and in some cases wiping out—life on the planet. We are plagued by crises threatening our lives, and this situation is unsustainable. But how do we fix these problems decades in the making?  
  Mission Economy looks at the grand challenges facing us in a radically new way. Global warming, pollution, dementia, obesity, gun violence, mobility—these environmental, health, and social dilemmas are huge, complex, and have no simple solutions. Mariana Mazzucato argues we need to think bigger and mobilize our resources in a way that is as bold as inspirational as the moon landing—this time to the most ‘wicked’ social problems of our time.. We can only begin to find answers if we fundamentally restructure capitalism to make it inclusive, sustainable, and driven by innovation that tackles concrete problems from the digital divide, to health pandemics, to our polluted cities. That means changing government tools and culture, creating new markers of corporate governance, and ensuring that corporations, society, and the government coalesce to share a common goal. 
  We did it to go to the moon. We can do it again to fix our problems and improve the lives of every one of us. We simply can no longer afford not to.

  HBR Guide to Dealing with Conflict

  While some of us enjoy a lively debate with colleagues and others prefer to suppress our feelings over disagreements, we all struggle with conflict at work. Every day we navigate an office full of competing interests, clashing personalities, limited time and resources, and fragile egos. Sure, we share the same overarching goals as our colleagues, but we don't always agree on how to achieve them. We work differently. We rub each other the wrong way. We jockey for position. 
   
   
   
  How can you deal with conflict at work in a way that is both professional and productive—where it improves both your work and your relationships? You start by understanding whether you generally seek or avoid conflict, identifying the most frequent reasons for disagreement, and knowing what approaches work for what scenarios. Then, if you decide to address a particular conflict, you use that information to plan and conduct a productive conversation. The HBR Guide to Dealing with Conflict will give you the advice you need to understand the most common sources of conflict; explore your options for addressing a disagreement; recognize whether you—and your counterpart—typically seek or avoid conflict; prepare for and engage in a difficult conversation; manage your and your counterpart's emotions; develop a resolution together; and know when to walk away.
