  This is the first book to explore what happens when patterns  originally created to cope with family conflicts are unleashed in  the workplace. Crossing the personal growth and leadership  genres, it helps readers dramatically improve their professional  relationships by taking control of the underlying family patterns  that so frequently stymie them.   Drawing on material and experiences from Total Leadership  Connections, her highly successful leadership retreat  program, Lafair presents the unproductive work behavior  patterns that grow out of early family relationships (often going  back many generations) and provides readers with the tools they  need to break free.  Written in a brisk style and offering a wealth of real-life  anecdotes and practical, workbook-style exercises, the book teaches  readers that its possible to get beyond old, outmoded  attempts at conflict resolution and empower themselves to make  profound differences both at work and in our personal lives.  Lafair reveals thirteen most common patterns that  correspond to characters familiar to anyone who has ever worked in  an office:    Super Achiever  Rebel  Persecutor  Victim  Rescuer  Clown  Martyr  Splitter  Procrastinator  Drama Queen (King)  Pleaser  Denier  Avoider    Throughout the  book she offers quick, practical and  effective tools and exercises to breaking free of these patterns,  without years of therapy.

  Your kid gets sick, so you leave work early—again. You're an expert at driving the carpool line and setting up for the morning meeting. You missed out on another stretch assignment because you don't have time. It's assumed you'll bake the treats for the fundraiser—and man the table.As a working mother you often draw the short straw. You carry most of the burden of caregiving and household chores—and your career suffers because of it. Bosses and coworkers assume that since you're focused on your family, you don't prioritize work, and they give crucial opportunities to those around you.Advice for Working Moms can help you alleviate this stress. Drawing on the wisdom of experts and parents alike, it will help you strike the right balance between family and work, all while navigating the long-standing bias against mothers and, more broadly, women in the workforce. You'll learn to: establish the boundaries you need at home and at work; negotiate flextime, time off, and maternity leave; facilitate your return to work after taking time off for caregiving; combat the "motherhood penalty"; negotiate a more equal division of labor at home with your partner; and say no to "office housework" and other menial tasks at work.

  The age of competitive strategy may be past. Sophisticated managers are learning that handsome returns come directly from superior strategic execution - not strategic planning. Their method: hustle and get it right. A look at the financial-services industry provides valuable lessons. Few of the bases of competitive advantage exist; there are no economies of scale, few obstacles to product imitation, and minimal costs and time required to bring out a new product. The organization's people and their executional skills - not the company's fixed assets - determine the bottom line. Subjects covered include competitive decision making, corporate strategy, strategic planning, and strategy implementation.

  With today’s marketplace changing at lightning speed, how can entrepreneurs spend the traditional several months perfecting their business plans and finding investors before finally launching their business? They can’t! Because the truth is, the longer they take to launch their company, the more changes there will be in the marketplace--causing their business to be outdated before it even begins! 
  Today’s entrepreneurs must avoid the temptation to play it safe and launch a business in a bubble. Instead, they need to embrace the idea of “failing fast.” Almost upon genesis of the idea, it is detrimental for the entrepreneur to connect with real customers and determine quickly whether their idea is worth pursuing, needs new direction, or should be abandoned altogether. 
  In the groundbreaking, tell-it-like-it-is Fail Fast or Win Big, entrepreneurs will learn how to: Create a rapid prototype of their product or serviceDevelop a business model instead of a business planTest it repeatedly with customers so they can spot failure earlyContinue to refine the model based on customer interactionsLeverage their network and resources in order to run lean 
    
  Complete with real-life examples of entrepreneurs who set out to fail fast and ended up winning big, Fail Fast or Win Big is the business plan you didn’t study in college. But just like the marketplace, those outdated concepts have changed too! 
  Figures are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

  Discover the secrets of upside-down management and doing the right thing with James Timpson's The Happy Index. 
  With over 2,000 locations across the UK and overseeing multiple operations daily for the past two decades, it’s fair to say that the CEO of the family-owned Timpson business knows a thing or two about running a successful company. 
  What makes James Timpson’s approach to collaboration, profit and success is simple: let the people you hire run your business. 
  That might seem like a simple concept to a CEO, manager or director but if you think about the hundreds of meetings, hours lost from your day by responding to emails, signing off on projects and more, you will notice that you are still working in a traditional, top-down mindset. Doing this means the team you work with only see themselves as a cog in the machine instead of the trusted, valued colleagues that they are. 
  The Happy Index is structured into lessons that will equip you and the people you work with, with the tools and tactics to re-evaluate the ways you manage your business. Offering insight into the ways in which James has overseen the family business, he firmly believes that you will see the benefits of working with an upside-down mindset, not only for financial success but also your team’s wellbeing and happiness. 
  Really, though, it’s easy. Turn up on time. Trust your team. Do your work. 
  In The Happy Index, James Timpson offers a fresh, new perspective on leadership and workplace behaviour. His insights into the economics of organisational culture are a testament to his best writing, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in business management. 
  For fans of Adam Grant (Give and Take), and Wes Streeting (One Boy, Two Bills and a Fry Up).
