Nathan Sides

Beschreibung

This book consists of two titles, which are the following:

Book 1: Running a business can be a joy and a pain. It all depends on how you handle it. Other factors that contribute to your success or failure may be the demand, the market, the numbers, accounting, and the nature of your brand or product.

However, there are certain skills everyone should have. These are the basics for running a business. And you may think that everyone possesses these general abilities, but you might be surprised by how many people have no clue what they are doing, and they never stand a chance of making it work because they missed the essentials for doing business in the first place. We’re talking about money management, marketing, and finances. If you get those things wrong, your business has a higher risk of flopping.

Book 2: A lot of business owners and managers get many things right, but there are also things they can do better. Take communication skills for example: Are you really effective enough at communicating. Are you good at delegating responsibilities?

Aside from this, we’ll touch on the topic of project management. People who work in projects, typically achieve more if they have been executed effectively. Real leaders get things done fast and proficiently. Are you that leader yet?

Last but not least, too many people dive into starting a business without realizing what it takes. They overlook many factors that will be a hinderance or addition to their business plans. In this guide, we’ll help you see this factors in advance so you don’t have to make silly mistakes that could be avoided.

The Team Secret - Accelerate...

Koos Stadler, Anton Berger

The South African Special Forces achieved exceptional results with small groups of elite soldiers instead of larger, conventional teams. The Team Secret shows that the same principle applies in the business world – a small team has a much better chance of completing projects efficiently, on budget and on time.
Teams, rather than individuals, form the DNA of many companies and they play a pivotal role in achieving strategic and financial success. Like Special Forces teams, they must function as a well-oiled machine firing on all cylinders.
Koos Stadler tells in captivating detail about a real-life Special Forces operation and the lessons learnt about team dynamics and achieving the goal. His story, combined with anecdotes from Anton Burger's experiences as a team leader in different work environments, show the many lessons the business world can take from the Special Forces.
The book identifies the key characteristics of an effective team, how to select the right team members, how to inculcate an ethos centred around team principles and how an effective team should be led. It speaks to both team members and team leaders across all managerial levels – from a team leader in a call centre to a project manager or CEO.
In short: To fast-track your business, shape up your teams!

Charity Sucks

Iqbal Wahhab

In the wake of recent scandals concerning charities such as Kids Company and BeatBullying, as well as the wave of suspicion they have generated about the third sector as a whole, celebrated restaurateur Iqbal Wahhab offers a scathing critique of the cosiness between government and charity, and proposes that the solution lies in business.
Indeed, he believes we are entering a post-philanthropy age, where social entrepreneurs are better placed to sustainably solve our problems than the outdated and ineffective donations model. With social mobility on the wane and inequalities widening, he argues, the convention of paying taxes to provide a welfare state that fixes the problems of the poor and infirm is now considered a myth.
The problem is that charities aren't evolving in the way businesses have to. They expand by the amount of hope and faith by which they can convince largely uninformed, if well-meaning, donors and philanthropists to finance them. Businesses expand through success, and success wins over hope.
Put simply, Wahhab argues, charity sucks because business does it better.

Bagehot also explores the factors that influence the supply and demand of money, including interest rates, creditworthiness, and economic conditions.

Bagehot's principles of central banking, including the lender of last resort function, have had a lasting impact on modern monetary policy. 
Overall, "A Description of the Money Market" is a seminal work on the history and workings of the money market and has been influential in shaping economic and financial thought. It is still considered a valuable resource for students, academics, and professionals in the field of finance.
