  Over the years, thousands of books, articles, studies and theories  have been developed on the topic of leadership. People are  fascinated by the subject and with how they can become better  leaders or rise to leadership-level positions. And yet, despite all  this work, a consensus has not emerged with respect to what  leadership is, how leaders develop, and  perhaps most  importantly  how to become a more effective leader. The  appetite for books that provide answers to these questions is  almost insatiable.   COMMON PURPOSE will answer these questions. But it will be  different from all those leadership books already on the shelf  because it will show that common purpose, is the heart and  soul of great leadership. Common purpose is a new concept.  What is common purpose? It is that rare, almost-palpable  experience that happens when a leader coalesces a group, team or  community into a creative, dynamic, brave and nearly invincible  we.  It happens the moment the  organizations values, tools, objectives and hopes are  internalized in a way that enables people to work tirelessly toward  a goal. Years ago, there was a book about the inner game of tennis  which changed the way people think about and play sports. Common  purpose is the inner game of leadership. Common purpose is rarely  achieved. But Kurtzman has observed that when a leader is able to  bring it about, the results are outsized, measurable and  inspiring.  COMMON PURPOSE is a book about leaders, leadership and how to  lead. It is based on Kurtzmans recent interviews with more  than 50 leaders. It is also based on research on leadership he has  conducted over the years beginning at The New York Times,  the Harvard Business Review, Booz & Company, during his  career as a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers, his own consulting  firm and for groups like Mercer HR, Korn/Ferry International and  Heidrick & Struggles.

  One Day I'll Work for Myself -...

  What makes the dream of self-employment so alluring, so pervasive in today's world? Benjamin C. Waterhouse offers a provocative argument: the modern cult of the hustle is a direct consequence of economic failures—bad jobs, stagnant wages, and inequality—since the 1970s. With original research, Waterhouse traces a new narrative history of business in America, populated with vivid characters—from the activists, academics, and work-from-home gurus who hailed business ownership as our economic salvation to the upstarts who took the plunge. Some flourish; some squeak by. Some fail. 
   
   
   
  As Waterhouse shows, the go-it-alone movement that began in the 1970s laid the political and cultural groundwork for today's gig economy and its ethos: everyone should be their own boss. While some people find success in that world, countless others are left bouncing from gig to gig—exploited, underpaid, or conned by get-rich-quick scams. And our politics doesn't know how to respond. 
   
   
   
  Accessible, fast-paced, and eye-opening, One Day I'll Work for Myself offers a fresh, insightful cultural history of the US economy from the perspective of the people within it, asking urgent questions about why we're clinging to old strategies for progress—and at what cost.

  Recently, it has become increasingly evident that extreme concentrations of wealth and power have profound impacts on our politics, but extreme inequality's influence on our daily lives—and our futures—has been vastly overlooked.In Burned by Billionaires, Chuck Collins, an author and a senior scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington DC, chronicles how the actions of the top .01% have severe consequences for the rest of us. Collins takes down the "myth of meritocracy," unraveling how the rich rig the game in their favor, resulting in a concentration of wealth in the hands of a tiny (but growing) class of billionaires—leading to intense income and political polarization. Collins charts this economic, social, and ecological destruction and shows how these effects manifest in every facet of our society. 
   
  Collins argues that perhaps, worst of all, the concentration of wealth and power is leading to political hijacking, undermining the democratic principle that our votes matter equally. This book is an urgent call-to-action and road map to a more equitable society, where everyone has access to the resources that will allow them to thrive. Burned by Billionaires offers a pointed prescription for taking power back from the billionaire class and achieving the shared prosperity that comes from a healthy and equal society.
