Summary

Every year, over 10,000 business books are published-and that's before you add in the hundreds of thousands of articles, blogs, and video lectures that are produced. Leaders can't possibly hope to digest it all, and writers increasingly sensationalize and spin their ideas in order to be noticed. The result? Put quite simply, the field of management thinking is in danger of losing the plot. 
 
In this new book, Scott Keller and Mary Meaney-Senior Partners at McKinsey & Company, the world's preeminent management consultancy-cut to the chase by answering the 10 most important and timeless questions that every leader needs to answer in order to maximize the performance and health of their organization.  
 
What's more, the authors recognize that great leaders may not have time for long-winded business books. In Leading Organizations, answers are kept to the essentials-hard facts, counter-intuitive insights, and practical steps-all presented in an accessible and highly visual format.  
 
If there's one essential business book you should read-ever-it's this one.
Available since: 04/24/2018.
Print length: 272 pages.

    Compensation at the Top will add original intellectual  capital to the issues of paying for performance and will bring the  alignment research alive with stories, experiences, and  perspectives from people who have dealt with these issues for  years. The book will feature an original data base, collected  for a 25 year period, that will quantify how much total  compensation is actually delivered to a CEO for a given level of  company performance, revenue size, and industry.   The  authors are developing this empirical data base across a broad  group of companies (i.e., the S&P 1500), representing the  Executive Labor Market (ELM), and will report the actual  realized pay for given levels of performance. As a result, all  constituencies evaluating executive pay will be able to determine,  on an analytically-grounded basis, whether pay actions, as well as  pay design, are appropriate. The book will also provide real  world stories, perspectives, and insights from thought leaders on  executive compensation.  Interviewees will include  compensation committee members, executives, academicians,  government leaders, and shareholder activists.

    Why do some businesses “fail to scale”? Smooth Scaling offers a clear diagnosis, along with twenty practical Rituals to boost your organization’s performance and achieve frictionless growth.  
    Smooth Scaling addresses the most pervasive and least-understood fail point that threatens to kneecap even the best-laid scaling plan: organizational friction. Expert Rob Bier reveals why organizational frictions take hold as you grow and how they slow your company down.  
    These growth pains are both predictable and preventable, yet they almost always take leaders by surprise. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Until now, there’s been no resource to guide executives through this challenge. As a result, they end up playing “Whack-a-Mole,” reacting to a never-ending stream of organizational, team, and people problems one at a time—only for new ones to crop up. Smooth Scaling addresses this gap, presenting a proven approach based on real-life experience and application.  
    Drawing on his extensive experience building high-performance organizations, Bier has created twenty foundational Rituals that integrate seamlessly into the daily habits of your company. These Rituals make your organization as frictionless as possible, allowing you to scale faster—and more sustainably—than ever before. 
    In Smooth Scaling, you will learn how to:Build trust proactively across your organization Turn your managers into a powerful driver of productivity and scalability Build high-performance teams with the people you’ve got Break down barriers between departments to prevent silos Maintain a cohesive high-trust culture as you grow  
    Smooth Scaling is your indispensable guide to building a scalable, high-performing organization.

    We’re told marketing is hard. That it requires months of analysis, weeks of brainstorming, and years of consistent implementation. To succeed in marketing, you need the fortitude of General Patton, the genius of Don Draper, and the cash reserves of Warren Buffet. WRONG. One week. That’s all it takes for most small and medium-sized businesses to dramatically improve their marketing. And let’s face it, most business owners do very little marketing, and what they do is not particularly effective. Business owners often don’t know how to best market their company, or are too busy working to make time to promote it. What they don’t realize is that effective marketing doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. Mark Satterfield’s The One Week Marketing Plan lays out a step-by-step system entrepreneurs can put in place in just five business days. This “set it and forget it” strategy works all day, every day to bring in new business. Tailored to each company’s niche market, this innovative plan can generate a consistent stream of customers for an out-of-pocket expense of as little as $300. Satterfield, founder and CEO of Gentle Rain Marketing, Inc., has more than two decades of experience helping clients in more than 75 niche industries grow their businesses without cold calling or hard selling. Now, in The One Week Marketing Plan, his strategies and wisdom are accessible and realistic for entrepreneurs, self-employed professionals, and business owners looking to move in a new direction. One week. That’s all it takes. So let’s get started.
