What About the Vermin Problem - A Guide to Avoiding Damaging Business Practices

Peter Christian

Casa editrice: BookBaby

Sinossi

How well is your company doing? Are you employing the best business practices and doing them well? Is the company committed to its ongoing success? Have you built good relationships with your associates? Are you trusted in your business dealings? And are you as agile as the top performers are? Then you are doing good things and are well on the way to success.

Or, are you and your employees failing to own up to problems and neglecting to fix them? Is change passing you by and your competitors are gaining or surpassing you? Does your company encourage performance responsibility and accountability? How are decisions made? Are they usually bad and made repeatedly? Then you are on a bad course and need to make changes before the business becomes a disaster.

Worst of all, is there a lack of honesty about how things are going? Are you not owning up to your problems and issues, because that is the way things are done here? How correct are you about knowing what the real problems and issues are? Or are you willing to get other viewpoints and pay attention to them? Are you properly incentivizing people or paying out money that you cannot afford to? Most of all, how good is your communication inside and outside of the company? Do people know what needs to be done and what their roles are? If any of these ugly things are true, you are in big trouble.

Peter Christian has worked for and with many companies throughout his 40-year career. He was an executive and trusted business adviser. He has seen businesses succeed or fail. Each category can produce good, bad or ugly results. It all depends upon their utilization and application.

The stories are real. Who did or is doing them doesn't matter. What does matter is what to do, how to do it, and why it should be done. It is a matter of success or failure, the choice is yours.

Progressive Capitalism - How to...

David Sainsbury

The neo-liberalism that dominated economic thinking since the advent of Thatcher and Reagan is now seen to have serious flaws. Progressive Capitalism seeks to replace it with a new Progressive political economy, based on an analysis of why the growth rates of countries differ, and what firms have to do to achieve competitive advantage in today's global economy. The cornerstone of the political economy of Progressive Capitalism is a belief in capitalism. But it also incorporates the three defining beliefs of Progressive thinking. These are the crucial role of institutions, the need for the state to be involved in their design, and the use of social justice defined as fairness as an important measure of a country's economic performance. Progressive Capitalism shows how this new Progressive political economy can be used by politicians and policy-makers to produce a programme of economic reform for a country. It does this by analysing and proposing reforms for the UK's equity markets, its system of corporate governance, its national system of innovation and its education and training system. Finally, Progressive Capitalism describes the role the state should play in the economy - an enabling one, rather than the command-and-control role of traditional socialism or the minimalist role of neo-liberalism.

All It Takes Is a Goal - The...

Jon Acuff

When New York Times bestselling author Jon Acuff got curious about tapping into his full potential, he launched a research study with Dr. Mike Peasley. They asked more than three thousand people if they felt they were living up to their full potential. 
 
Fifty percent of people reported that 50 percent of their full potential is untapped. 
 
That means half of us are walking around with half-lives. No wonder Twitter is so grumpy. 
 
Imagine if every Christmas you only opened up half your gifts. You could see the rest—a whole pile of them in the corner of the room—but you never got to open them. 
 
Would that make for a happy Christmas, a happy house, a happy job, a happy anything? 
 
It wouldn’t, but what if it didn’t have to be that way? 
 
What if you could have a fulfilling career? 
What if you could enjoy a thriving marriage and strong friendships? 
What if you could be in the greatest shape of your life? 
What if each day felt like a gift and each year progressively got better? 
What if you could use a single piece of paper to learn from your past, enjoy your present, and prepare your future? 
What if you could escape the Comfort Zone, avoid the Chaos Zone, and live inthe Potential Zone? 
 
That would be the best. 
 
And what if all it takes is a goal?

Hitting the Curveballs - How...

Jay Myers

This inspirational, informative guide offers “proven and tested practical ideas for growing your business in . . . [a] challenging economic environment” (Madan Birla, author of FedEx Delivers).   Starting a business can be easy—until the economy starts throwing you curve balls. And “The Great Recession” was the biggest curve ball in the last 80 years. But while 200,000 small businesses across the country were forced to close their doors, Jay Myers, founder and CEO of Interactive Solutions, Inc., managed to double his revenue—even after losing 80 percent of the company’s sales team.   Myers and his company, headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, made a conscious decision in 2007 that they were “not going to participate in the recession” and weathered both personal and professional crises to not only strengthen the company but grow ISI’s business like never before.   A storyteller at heart, Myers offers readers plenty of tips and practical advice that any entrepreneur or small business owner can apply. But he also challenges those same entrepreneurs and small business owners to get “out of their comfort zone” and embrace creative new strategies, such as employee accountability and second chances, niche marketing, and using your book as your hook. Myers shows small business owners and entrepreneurs how to not only hit the curveballs that are thrown their way, but actually use them to grow their business in times of adversity.

Gold Bubble - Profiting From...

Yoni Jacobs

The warning signs for gold's decline are plenty: gold ETFs have made investing in gold available to the common investor and have tremendously increased the speculation involved; the global reliance on emerging markets such as China has fueled the commodity bubble led by gold; TV shows and newspaper headlines warn of intense media saturation and frenzy; We Buy Gold stores line busy streets and signal mass awareness; gold miners are no longer protecting themselves from a potential drop in prices; herd-like behavior and intolerance of opposing views, found near peaking popularity, has surfaced; a Chinese taxi company has attempted to buy an Australian gold mine; and gold is even being sold in vending machines.Presenting an in-depth analysis of gold dating back over 100 years, Yoni Jacobs describes what structural factors have allowed gold to form a bubble, why investor psychology of fear and greed is indicating extremely speculative behavior, why gold will fall during an upcoming recession, what effect the dollar and the stock market will have on the future of gold prices, and how to profit from a gold collapse while the majority of investors lose.

China's Rise and the New Age of...

Stephen Leeb, Donna Leeb

China's growing role in the global economy is showing no sign of retreat. Indeed, recent events have only increased China's influence—to the point where China is poised to edge out the United States and take the lead. For investors like you, this tectonic shift poses difficult challenges—along with tremendous opportunities.    In China's Rise and the New Age of Gold, one of the twenty-first century's top economic experts, Stephen Leeb, lays out his compelling argument that explosive gains in gold lie ahead. Gold's price will increase dramatically to as high as $20,000 an ounce. Investing in gold will be the best (and perhaps only) way to generate substantial investing profits in this decade and beyond. Leeb draws from his vast knowledge of macro-economic trends and current market conditions to explain China's plans to launch a new monetary system centered on gold, which will largely supplant the global dollar-based monetary system. And he provides you with the tools you need to invest in all things gold, including in gold itself, gold mutual funds and ETFs, and the right mining companies. This prescient guide to twenty-first-century investing delivers the knowledge and insight you need to draw unprecedented profits as China's rise truly launches a new age of gold.
