    Your company is turning in regular profits every year, and its market share is only getting bigger. Competitors can't touch you. So why is your stock price so sluggish? The answer is as simple as it is cruel: investors aren't interested in history, and they already know you're profitable and competitive - that knowledge is baked into your stock price. The hard reality is that a competitive advantage just isn't enough. Investors want companies to surprise them with unexpected value, which means that you can outperform market expectations only if you as a leader know how to find, create, and deliver a series of multiple competitive advantages. This is why a corporate theory is so important.  
    A good corporate theory provides a compass for those at the strategic helm, guiding their decisions about what assets and activities to pursue, what investments to make, and what strategies to adopt. Behind every long-term corporate success story lies a basic theory about how that company creates value. In Beyond Competitive Advantage, strategy professor Todd Zenger describes what makes a great corporate theory and helps readers understand the many tensions and trade-offs they'll face as they apply the theory to meet the challenge of market expectations. Based on years of research and analysis, Beyond Competitive Advantage provides managers and executives with a framework for both sustaining value and creating growth.

    For most salespeople, "accountability" is a terrifying word. It usually conjures up images of micromanagers controlling their employees' every move. It may even trigger memories of doing punishment laps, push-ups or other hated chores because we failed to live up to an ambiguous standard. 
    In Accountability The Sandler Way, Hamish Knox shows how sales managers can create an accountability-driven work culture for their teams and themselves . . . by investing just twenty minutes a week in the classic Sandler sales and management principles. Sandler clients—both managers and salespeople—discover that sustainable success in the world of sales comes from being accountable to specific, measurable actions. 
    For listeners of this audiobook, "accountability" means something very different than what it means for others. It means creating clarity for yourself and your employees around goals (yours and theirs), the path to achieve those goals (yours and theirs) and the consequences triggered by failing to stick to the path. Don't get nervous—no one's going to have to do any punishment laps! 
    Accountability The Sandler Way gives you all the tools you need to implement a sustainable accountability program for yourself and your team . . . even when time is tight.
