Summary

Most companies around the globe clearly believe that people should have the opportunity to achieve as much as their initiative and native talent can justify, but too many managers still lack the wherewithal to effectively groom junior employees who have the potential to climb the corporate ladder. The support of a mentor is an integral part of any effort to maximize someone’s full potential. A mentor-protégé relationship has many unique features, which both sides of the relationship need to understand and appreciate. Serving in the role of mentor to protégés involves providing highly individualized guidance from someone with the appropriate background, life, and work experiences and, importantly, an avid interest in helping others reach their life and career goals.9 Powerful Practices of Really Great Mentors features a set of proven techniques for those who serve as mentors in a variety of contexts, but particularly in the workplace.This new title completes a trilogy of practical books on management skills along with 9 Powerful Practices of Really Great Bosses and 9 Powerful Practices of Really Great Teams by these two highly acclaimed authors.
Available since: 02/18/2015.

    Creative thinking is about finding a way of looking at problems or situations from a fresh perspective to conceive of something new or original. It then becomes inventive thinking when something is created. If you have a brainstorming meeting and dream up dozens of new ideas, then you have displayed creativity but there is no inventiveness until something gets implemented. So, creativity and inventiveness go together hand in hand. 
     
     With his usual flair for narrative, sharing personal experiences, inspirational stories and motivational quotes, Neil Francis will help you to unleash your inner creativity and apply it every day in everything you do!

    The United States Football League was the last football league to not merely challenge the mighty NFL but also to cause it to collectively shudder. It spanned three seasons, featured as many as eighteen teams, secured multiple television deals, drew millions of fans, and launched the careers of legends—but then it died beneath the weight of a particularly egotistical and bombastic owner, a New York businessman named Donald Trump. In Football for a Buck, Jeff Pearlman draws on more than four hundred interviews to unearth all the salty, untold stories of one of the craziest sports entities to have ever captivated America. From 1980s drug excess to some of the most enthralling and revolutionary football ever seen, Pearlman transports listeners back in time to this crazy, boozy, audacious era of the game. He shows how fortunes were made and lost and how, thirty years ago, Trump was a scoundrel and a spoiler. This is sports as high entertainment—and a cautionary tale of the dangers of ego and excess.

    It is certainly fair to thank China for all its contributions to the world and its generosity. Especially for Pedro Nueno, professor of management and author of this book, who has found China to be his best ally in promoting higher education and establishing business schools that have contributed to the economic and social development in different countries.
    The author reflects on the reasons why China is the only country capable of challenging the economic leadership of the United States of America.
    
    "Thank You, China" is the outcome of these reflections, as well as an analysis of a country that never ceases to amaze us with its capacity to generate employment, its contribution to technological
    development, its trade routes and its will to strengthen services such as healthcare, niche tourism, banking and financial services, among others. This is a book about the recent past, present and future of the Asian giant. Its history may provide us with some useful clues about its future: openness to foreign investment, steady pace of growth, and willingness to step in to correct market unbalances. The author concludes that if this trend continues, China will become sooner or later what we all suspect: the world's leading economy, and a true global power.
