Sinopse

In 'Living Too Fast; Or, The Confessions of a Bank Officer' by Oliver Optic, readers are introduced to a gripping tale of wealth, temptation, and moral dilemma set in the bustling banking industry of the 19th century. Optic's literary style combines a fast-paced narrative with intricate character development, shedding light on the inner struggles of a bank officer caught in the throes of corruption and deceit. The book's themes of greed and redemption are timeless, making it a pertinent read for those interested in exploring the complexities of human nature within a financial context. Oliver Optic, a pseudonym for William Taylor Adams, was a prolific American author known for his engaging stories for young readers. As a former teacher and school principal, Optic used his educational background to craft morally-driven narratives that entertained and educated his audience. 'Living Too Fast' showcases Optic's talent for blending suspenseful storytelling with valuable moral lessons, making it a standout work in his literary career. I highly recommend 'Living Too Fast; Or, The Confessions of a Bank Officer' to readers who enjoy thought-provoking tales of moral ambiguity and financial intrigue. Optic's skillful storytelling and insightful commentary on human nature make this book a must-read for those seeking a captivating literary experience.

    From turf wars to low morale, most companies attempt to cure what ails them with the latest management fad--and fail. They are treating the symptoms while ignoring the true problem. 
     
    Success starts with knowing the kind of business you're really in. Lead Right for Your Company's Type argues that every enterprise falls into one of four categories as dictated by their customer promise: customized (e.g. ad agency), predictable and dependable (e.g utility company), benevolent (e.g. educational institution), and best in class (e.g. high-tech company like Apple). When leadership practices fit the customer promise and company type, the organization thrives. But apply the wrong practices and the mismatch pulls the enterprise apart. Example after example exposes the fallout: 
     
    A small arts college destabilized by top-down rules designed for a predictable and dependable company A mid-tier retail chain derailed by leadership demands for superior products instead of reliably low pricesA software giant brought to its knees by prioritizing profits over innovation 
    Insightful and practical, the book's proven tools and five-step process will help you diagnose your organization's ills--and stop them at their source.

  • The Corporation - The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power - cover

    Joel Bakan's book is a brilliantly argued account of the corporation's pathological pursuit of profit and power. An eminent law professor and legal theorist, Bakan contends that the corporation is created by law to function much like a psychopathic personality whose destructive behavior, if left unchecked, leads to scandal and ruin. 
    In the most revolutionary assessment of the corporation as a legal and economic institution since Peter Drucker's early works, Bakan backs his premise with the following claims: 
    • the  corporation's legally defined mandate is to pursue, relentlessly and without exception, its own economic self-interest, regardless of the harmful consequences it might cause to others-a concept endorsed by no less a luminary than the Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman. 
    • the  corporation's unbridled self-interest victimizes individuals, society, and, when it goes awry, even shareholders and can cause corporations to self-destruct, as recent Wall Street scandals reveal. 
    • While corporate social responsibility in some instances does much good, it is often merely a token gesture, serving to mask the corporation's true character. 
    • Governments have abdicated much of their control over the corporation, despite its flawed character, by freeing it from legal constraints through deregulation and by granting it ever greater authority over society through privatization. 
    Despite the structural failings found in the corporation, Bakan believes change is possible and outlines a far-reaching program of concrete, pragmatic, and realistic reforms through legal regulation and democratic control. 
    Backed by extensive research, The Corporation draws on in-depth interviews with such wide-ranging figures as CEO Hank McKinnell of Pfizer, Nobel Prize-winner Milton Friedman, business guru Peter Drucker, and critic Noam Chomsky of MIT.
