Leadership Lessons from a UPS Driver - Delivering a Culture of We Not Me

Ron Wallace

Sinopse

Sharing stories focused on the people he worked with, the retired president of UPS provides a practical blueprint for successful leaders and companies.UPS is a household name and one of the most highly regarded American corporations by customers and investors alike. Who hasn’t been delighted by a right-on-time delivery, one of the eighteen million UPS makes every day? Founded over a hundred years ago, UPS has moved steadily up the Fortune 500 as so many other corporations have dropped off. So what’s the company’s secret? Just ask a driver!Ron Wallace was a UPS driver for six years before he rose through the ranks to become president of UPS International. In other companies that might be extraordinary, but for UPS it’s par for the course. UPS has a unique people culture. It’s like a family. Package loaders call executives by their first names and vice versa. The company almost always promotes from within. Lifetime employment is common. Most employees own UPS stock. Wallace credits this spirit of “we, not me” with the company’s success—and his own. As he puts it, working at UPS gave him a PhD in teamwork.Instead of writing a typical business memoir that celebrates the leader as celebrity, Wallace shares vivid stories that focus on the people he worked with, the challenges they overcame, and the simple principles and practices that make up the UPS way. He exhorts his fellow leaders to grow their people, not just their business plans. The leadership style described in this book is simple and direct—and it works. The straightforward and easy-to-understand lessons provide a blueprint for an individual or company to build on past successes and adapt to future challenges. This is a must-listen for anyone aspiring to become a great leader.“Finally, a book that hits the heart of doing what’s right. A straightforward, no-holds-barred approach to leadership principles. A refreshing wake-up call for anyone leading others.” —Emily Thomas Kendrick, president and CEO, Arrow Exterminators, Inc. “For decades, Ron Wallace displayed unique leadership abilities at UPS. This would ultimately lead him to being responsible for thousands of employees who had to get things done in complex situations every day. Whether you’re a beginning or an experienced leader, Ron’s book, Leadership Lessons from a UPS Driver, can change your life as well as the life of your organization. It’s a leadership must-read.” —Mark Levy, author of Accidental Genius

Match - A Systematic Sane...

Dan Erling

Why is it that so many companies accept mediocre hiring results as the norm? The answer is simple. It doesnt occur to them that, in fact, there is a process that virtually guarantees hiring the right person every time. To repeat: there is a process that virtually guarantees hiring the right person every time. Thats what this book Mission Critical Hiring - is about. During the authors 20 years of consulting with top companies on hiring best practices, he has carefully tracked the successes and the failures resulting from hires, compiling a structured hiring process comprised of the most effective hiring techniques. Mission Critical Hiring (MCH) is the culmination of these best practices. By offering a systematic and sane approach to hiring MCH places mission at the heart of decisions and actions. Broken down into two parts: · On a process level, it takes the reader step-by-step through the lifecycle of hiring, from developing a job description, through interviewing and making the decision, to negotiating salary and onboarding the new hire. · On a strategic level, the book focuses on larger questions: what is our department about? Where are we headed? How does this open position fit into our overall goals? How do we measure and improve our hiring process? Applicable tools, stories and foolproof techniques are woven throughout the text to insure this mission critical objective is accomplished. As a result, the hiring team not only has a rock-solid, practical process for hiring - it is energized by knowing how their actions fit into the larger picture of their companys mission.

Philip N. Howard

Technology is breaking politics—what can be done about it? Artificially intelligent "bot" accounts attack politicians and public figures on social media. Conspiracy theorists publish junk news sites to promote their outlandish beliefs. Campaigners create fake dating profiles to attract young voters. We live in a world of technologies that misdirect our attention, poison our political conversations, and jeopardize our democracies. With massive amounts of social media and public polling data, and in depth interviews with political consultants, bot writers, and journalists, political consultants, Philip N. Howard offers ways to take these "lie machines" apart. Lie Machines is full of riveting behind the scenes stories from the world's biggest and most damagingly successful misinformation initiatives—including those used in Brexit and US elections. Howard not only shows how these campaigns evolved from older propaganda operations but also exposes their new powers, gives us insight into their effectiveness, and shows us how to shut them down.
