The 360° Corporation - From Stakeholder Trade-offs to Transformation

Summary

Companies are increasingly facing intense pressures to address stakeholder demands from every direction: consumers want socially responsible products; employees want meaningful work; investors now screen on environmental, social, and governance criteria; "clicktivists" create social media storms over company missteps. CEOs now realize that their companies must be social as well as commercial actors, but stakeholder pressures often create trade-offs with demands to deliver financial performance to shareholders. How can companies respond while avoiding simple "greenwashing" or "pinkwashing"? This book lays out a roadmap for organizational leaders who have hit the limits of the supposed win-win of shared value to explore how companies can cope with real trade-offs, innovating around them or even thriving within them. Suggesting that the shared-value mindset may actually get in the way of progress, bestselling author Sarah Kaplan shows in The 360° Corporation how trade-offs, rather than being confusing or problematic, can actually be the source of organizational resilience and transformation.

    People functioning at the highest level are what the authors call 10x leaders. Research on these leaders consistently brought up five major strengths. This book teaches readers to become a 10x leader using these five key areas, the SHARP framework.Strengths: 10X leaders stop trying to eliminate weaknesses and learn to focus on their strengthsHealth: 10X leaders stop trying to eliminate stress and learn how to integrate periods of restorationAbsorption: 10X leaders stop waiting for the lightning of focus and creativity to strike and learn how to achieve consistent engagement and presenceRelationships: 10X leaders stop trying to exert power and control and learn to cultivate healthy relationships through positivity and authenticityPurpose: 10X leaders stop grinding out tasks and learn how to find meaning and commitment in everything they do 
The 10X elixir of peak performance comes not from focusing on just one of these areas but from learning to light the fire of all five aspects of SHARP and functioning naturally with them on a daily basis. If you just cultivate one or two aspects of leadership skills, you are unlikely to succeed.

    More than ever before business success depends on standing out from the crowd and delivering authentic experiences that turn your customers into advocates for your business. Bold tells the stories of 14 companies that prove that brand building is now about completely rethinking the customer experience and redefining the relationship you have with your customers. Each inspiring story is told by the executives involved who were brave enough to pursue audacious goals, challenge industry norms and win. 
 
Winner of the E-book category of the CMI Management Book of the Year Awards (2011/12), Bold puts the spotlight on Virgin Galactic, Innocent, O2, Air Asia X, Chilli Beans, Six Senses Resorts and Spas, Burberry, BBH, The Geek Squad, TNT Express, JCB, WWF, Umpqua Bank and Zappos.com. These inspiring case studies demonstrate that putting purpose before profit, going way beyond what customers expect and relentlessly differentiating themselves from everyone else—in other words, being bold in thought, bold in execution and bold in measuring their success in new ways—pays off.

    Offers concrete ways to navigate the uncertainty of freelancing to build a life that is financially and emotionally rewarding.In The Freelance Mindset we discover our illusions about the way we work are just that—stories we make up, or, worse, stories that were made up for us. The current way of work is, in fact, not working for us, but there is another path forward: one that leverages our innate creativity and human need to make a living.Listeners here discover what pulls us toward freelancing, develop tools to meet its challenges, and realize that we can succeed as either freelancers or traditional employees. What we cannot do is go back to seeing the world in the limited nine-to-five way we once did.Author Joy Batra compares traditional employment with the freelance lifestyle and keenly observes the gaps between the two. She shares concrete ways to help current and future freelancers navigate the uncertainty of freelancing in order to build a life that is both financially and emotionally rewarding.
