  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!

  “Truth Warriors is packed with fascinating stories, novel insights, and practical tips for every leader who has something worth fighting for.” —Liane Davey, New York Times bestselling author of You First and The Good Fight. 
  This book will help you to navigate conflict and make better decisions. As author Christi Scarrow points out, all of us have the opportunity to make decisions that count, whether in our professional or personal lives. To do so, we must become what Scarrow calls “Truth Warriors.” We must believe in ourselves, yet question our most firmly held assumptions and beliefs. We must know when to speak up and when to be quiet. In the end, says Scarrow, “making better decisions is about making your voice about our voice and your truth about our truth. Only then can we change the world.”

  Boring Meetings Suck - Get More...

  Author Jon  Petz, a former corporate executive and current corporate  entertainer who has keynoted meetings for groups ranging from  Wal-Mart to IBM, dares to address the boring elephant in the room:  where most of the millions of meetings held in the U.S. every day  are an unforgiveable waste of time and talent. Whats worse,  many of the books, blogs, and articles on the subject are as boring  as the meetings themselves. In  Boring Meetings Suck, Petz focuses on how attendees can take  charge of meetings that have become a waste of time and talent.  Most books on meetings focus only on the person responsible for  planning and hosting the meeting, but Boring Meetings Suck  dares to admit what other authors avoid. Only when attendees are  empowered to diplomatically speak up and get meetings back on track  will everyone benefit, instead of suffering in silence as an  ineffective chair or host loses control of their  proceedings. It offers dozens of  SRDs  Suckification Reduction Devices  to help  you make your next meeting efficient (get things done right) and  effective (get the right things done). It also  introduces a contrarian notion that meeting hosts should capitalize  on technology use during meetings versus curtail it. Instead of  telling people to turn OFF their digital devices, this book  suggests participants use these devices for instant crowd sourcing,  rapid dissemination of information to those affected by the  decisions and innovative note taking so important information is  not lost.

  This title is also included in Napoleon Hill's Greatest Speeches, also available as an audiobook. 
  In 1952, Napoleon Hill spoke at a dental convention. He was introduced by insurance tycoon W. Clement Stone. Stone had been given a copy of Hill's best-selling book, Think and Grow Rich, and was so impressed that he gave away thousands of copies. 
  Hill and Stone jointly wrote Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude in 1960, and it became an immediate best-seller. Over 50 years later, the book still sells well in the United States and all over the world. 
  Maker of Miracle Men is the result of Hill's work with Stone. Prefacing the speech is the excellent introduction that Stone gave Hill.
