Summary

In The Lazy Project Manager and the Project from Hell, Peter Taylor applies the lazy project management technique introduced in his Kindle bestsellers The Lazy Project Manager and The Lazy Winner to a project that has gone seriously wrong. Based on a workshop Peter has been delivering for several years, the information provided allows you and your team to undertake your own Project from Hell workshop where you analyze the problems and prepare an improvement plan that will be the basis for rescuing the project. The authors provide substantial information about ‘The Project from Hell’, including its background, start-up, progress and events. Although the workshop is based around an IT project the issues discussed and lessons learned are applicable across a wide range of projects: it could be a marketing campaign, new product introduction or other project-based activity. By engaging with this fascinating case study you and your team will equip yourselves to escape from project hell and find the path to project heaven. The authors have between them more than 25 years of project management experience. Peter Taylor is a dynamic professional who has achieved notable success in business. He is also an accomplished communicator, leader and professional speaker, popular around the world for keynotes and as an event host. The Lazy Project Manager was a Kindle bestseller and a page one bestseller in the business category on amazon.com. With Infinite Ideas he also published its follow-up, The Lazy Winner. More information can be found at his website, www.thelazyprojectmanager.com, and through his free podcasts in iTunes. Michael Finer is founder and managing director of Dylanmae, a training, mentoring, education, consulting and support operation with a focus on project intelligence and Corporate Performance Management.

    Salespeople run this planet.  
Selling is the oldest and highest-paying profession in existence. Sellers control their results, have no limit on how much they can prosper, get paid for what they produce, and can generally get their way in life. Sounds like a great gig.  
So why are so many people averse to selling?  
"I don't like sales."  
"I like to know how much money I'm making."  
"I don't want to be one of those people who are selling all the time!"  
These mindsets have been taught, adopted, and ingrained into many minds. The minds of people who have less control over their lives than they should have. People whose limits are created for them, without their input. People whose success is subject to someone else's feelings or opinions.  
All because they've been taught wrong (or not taught at all).  
That's where The Seller's Mindset comes in.  
This book is about the mindset of selling - not only for business, but for life itself. You will use what you learn here to earn commissions, build your own businesses, win debate team competitions, barber shop arguments, settle on favorable terms in negotiations, and generally get your way, period.  
If you are already sold on sales, this book is your gas station to refuel that motivation to go get it.  
If you afraid of selling (and if you don't like sales - it's because you're afraid), this book is the light chasing out the darkness of ignorance someone unfairly put on you.  
Salespeople run this planet. Why are you still walking?

    Financial Illiteracy Is Costing You More Than $35,000. Here’s How to Change That: 
 Did you know that the average millennial in the US is $36,000 in debt? Sound familiar? 
You’ve just gotten out of college and you’re overwhelmed by student loan payments. Not only that, an entry-level job is keeping you from earning the money that would support the lifestyle you desire. 
So, what can you do about it? 
Is there any way to gain financial stability as early as in your 20s or 30s? 
Of course there is! And the answer happens to be a whole lot simpler than what you may imagine when thinking of saving and investing. 
For a start, you need to get out of debt asap. 
The longer you remain a part of the vicious cycle, the more difficult it is to get out of the debt swamp. 
You can be debt-free in your late 20s. To accomplish this goal, however, you’ll need to do some financial growing up. 
Once you manage to kill the debt beast, you can move on to pursue all your life goals – saving enough to retire early, starting a family, buying a house, or starting your own business. 
Financial literacy consists of several simple, yet essential, concepts you’ll need to master. In other words, you’ll need to learn smart instead of hard when it comes to personal asset management.

    When leaders learn how to manage the emotions and drama in their organizations, conflict can be made healthier. Nate Regier uses the Drama Triangle Model and the Compassion Cycle to show leaders how to exercise compassion, not passion, and turn the negative energy of conflict into a positive energy for increased productivity and growth. 
 
 
Conflict without Casualties fills a gap by showing leaders at any level how to leverage positive conflict. Practical, insightful, challenging, relevant.  
-Dan Pink, New York Times bestselling author 
 
Most organizations are terrified of conflict in the workplace, seeing it as a sign of trouble. But Nate Regier says conflict is really just a kind of energy and can be used in positive or negative ways. Handled incorrectly, conflict becomes drama, which is costly to companies, teams, and relationships at all levels. Avoiding, managing, or reducing conflict is a limited alternative. Instead, Regier explores the interpersonal dynamics that perpetuate drama in organizations through a concept called the Drama Triangle and offers an alternative: the Compassion Cycle. The Compassion Cycle allows leaders to balance compassion and accountability, transforming conflict into a growth experience that enables organizations to achieve significant gains in energy, productivity, engagement, and satisfaction in relationships. Provocative and illuminating, the concepts Regier shares will turn conflict from an experience to be avoided into a partner for positive change.
