Bootstrap Leadership - 50 Ways to Break Out Take Charge and Move Up

Steve Arneson

Sinopse

Arneson was named one of America’s top leadership consultants by Leadership Excellence magazine in 2008
Enables leaders at all levels to design a complete self-directed leadership development program
Concise, accessible, practical and flexible

Leadership training can be inconsistent in the best of times. In tough economic times it’s often one of the first things that even the most progressive companies cut back on. And you can’t necessarily depend on finding that mentor you’ve been looking for either. Now more than ever, if you’re going to advance your career you need to lift yourself up by your own bootstraps. But not entirely: Steve Arneson is here to give you a boost.
In Bootstrap Leadership Arneson, one of America’s top leadership coaches, offers a complete blueprint for designing your own personal leadership development program. In fifty brief, to-the-point chapters he provides practical ideas and techniques that have been proven successful in his work with executives at Fortune 500 companies like AOL, PepsiCo and Capital One. Surprisingly, most of these ideas cost nothing to implement, nor do they require any elaborate equipment or infrastructure—they’re open to anyone with sufficient initiative, drive and ambition.
The chapters are entirely self-contained and can be read in any order and at any pace. You can read one a week and you’ll have a comprehensive year-long self-improvement program (with two weeks off for vacation). Or you can choose a chapter that speaks to a particular challenge you’re facing at work or one that just seems intriguing. There’s a self-assessment at the beginning of the book to suggest specific chapters that fit your developmental needs.
No one is going to just hand that next promotion. You have to earn it by developing and demonstrating your leadership skills. And ultimately it’s not just about you—true leaders make everyone around them better. Bootstrap Leadership shows you how.

Lift Off - 12 Things to Know...

Sharon Heaton

Regardless of how big your company is, where you are located, or what industry you’re in, it is essentially a “machine” that takes in revenue and, when working properly, throws off profits.

No matter how much planning you’ve already done or haven’t done, there are probably aspects of preparing your company for sale, and going through the M&A journey, that you’re unaware of.

People Power and Profits -...

Joseph E. Stiglitz

A Nobel prize winner challenges us to throw off the free market fundamentalists and reclaim our economy. 
We all have the sense that the American economy - and its government - tilts toward big business, but as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains in his new book, People, Power, and Profits, the situation is dire. A few corporations have come to dominate entire sectors of the economy, contributing to skyrocketing inequality and slow growth. This is how the financial industry has managed to write its own regulations, tech companies have accumulated reams of personal data with little oversight, and our government has negotiated trade deals that fail to represent the best interests of workers. Too many have made their wealth through exploitation of others rather than through wealth creation. If something isn't done, new technologies may make matters worse, increasing inequality and unemployment. 
Stiglitz identifies the true sources of wealth and of increases in standards of living, based on learning, advances in science and technology, and the rule of law. He shows that the assault on the judiciary, universities, and the media undermines the very institutions that have long been the foundation of America's economic might and its democracy.

The Lean Enterprise - How...

Obie Fernandez, Trevor Owens

The size of an organization and its ability to innovate are known  to have an inverse relationship. Small startups innovate quickly,  while large enterprises develop new products with a time to market  that is longer than the average person's job role. While many areas  of the economy are seeing limited growth, the startup community is  thriving, and large enterprises have taken notice. Among them, the  US Postal Service, General Electric, American Express, Lockheed  Martin, Sony, and others, are investing significant resources in  both training and infrastructure based on the concept of The  Lean Startup. Pioneered by Eric Ries and developed in Silicon  Valley, Lean Startup provides a structure for an entirely new way  of doing business.    The book will cover:    Enterprise Lean Startup  Innovation Lab  Corporate Venture Fund   Corporate Development  (Lean) Startup Tools     (Lean) Startup Metrics    This book will focus on methods, time tables, compensation,  financial investment, and case studies on successful enterprise  product development, the development innovation labs, corporate  venture arms, and acquisition & integration of startups
