  In a crisis that forces us to manage at a distance, how can you still get results? This quick read (updated 2nd edition) shows you how to build trust remotely, collaborate and negotiate effectively, prevent costly culture clashes, and get the job done across borders. 
  Flying blind with customers, colleagues, collaborators or competitors? Frustrated by misunderstandings or turf-wars with other organizational silos or cultures?  
  Learn how to step into anyone’s shoes, decode their mindset, and get the job done with anyone, anywhere. 
  "Culture Clash  not only reminds us of our blindness, but also offers a cure."--Scott A. Snook, Professor, Harvard Business School 
  Few of us are prepared to manage across cultures, and blind-spots can be costly—from lost opportunities to lawsuits. 
  Forged in the fire of clashing cultures and living on four continents, Dr. Zweifel, ex-CEO, Columbia professor and award-winning author, unpacks the toolbox he developed over three decades of coaching managers in 100+ countries.  
  Culture Clash 2is not another Kiss, Bow or Shake Hands. Protocol-laden books on whether to bring wine to a dinner in Singapore miss the mark: Non-compliance with local etiquette is rarely the deal-breaker. What does derail deals is our inability to read between the lines, decode the mindset of the other side, and see the world from the other perspective. 
  “Absolutely required reading for leaders who manage across cultures.”--Ali Velshi, Anchor, NBC 
  Read this action-packed, quick and fun book (cross-cultural fiascos can be hilarious… Some jokes are so risqué that the publisher banned them until now), and in one evening, build your cross-cultural savvy and boost your remote power.

  Smart, competent, and capable people are rare and in high demand. Every organization—from commercial enterprises, healthcare, non-profit, sports, education, to the military—is in an outright battle to recruit and retain these bright and talented people.Rather than bullets and bombs, the war for talent is won through high-impact prospecting activity, time discipline, intellectual agility, emotional intelligence, and human to human relationships. On this highly competitive, ever changing, asymmetric battle field, to win, you must operate a level of excellence beyond anything asked of military recruiters before. Yet, in this new paradigm, many recruiters are struggling, and most recruiting units are staring down the barrel at 50 percent or more of their recruiters consistently missing Mission. It is imperative that we arm military recruiters with the skills they need to win in this challenging environment. The failure to make Mission is an existential threat to the strength and readiness of America's fighting forces and our democracy.Fanatical Military Recruiting begins where the Recruiting and Retention colleges of the various branches of the military leave off. It is an advanced, master's level training resource designed specifically for the unique demands of Military Recruiting.

  Intelligence is an important thing that relates to mental ability. It is a hypothetical idea that expresses certain types of behavior of a man. This is the way of imagination to practical life. Albert Einstein says, "Imagination is more important than knowledge". At the same time, intelligence is a major part of brain power! Using this brain power, common people can be a legend; a poor country may be rich. Look at Japan! What Japan had after the Second World War! It was nothing! 
  Japan started from zero, and changed its own color! Yes, now Japan is the most remarkable country in the world. How Japan made it possible? Japan took advantages of intelligence! Imagination is more powerful to bring the change what is urgent to make the change. Famous scientist Stephen Hawking says, “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” It's true always! Intelligence has the ability to create a lot! Brain power can do everything. Moreover, intelligence may be a little word, but it has the ability to change the full view.

  Your stomach's churning; you're hyperventilating—you're in a badly deteriorating conversation at work. Such exchanges, which run the gamut from firing subordinates to parrying verbal attacks from colleagues, are so loaded with anger, confusion, and fear that most people handle them poorly: they avoid them, clamp down, or give in.But dodging issues, appeasing difficult people, and mishandling tough encounters all carry a high price for managers and companies—in the form of damaged relationships, ruined careers, and intensified problems.In Failure to Communicate, Holly Weeks shows how to master the combat mentality, emotional maelstrom, and confusion that poison difficult conversations. Drawing on her many years as a consultant and coach to leaders and executives, the author explains: why we turn to ineffective tactics when the heat is on; how to avoid the worst pitfalls of difficult conversations, and how to pull yourself out if you fall in; ways to regain your balance and inject respect into stressful conversations, even when you've been confronted, infuriated, or wronged; strategies for mitigating aggression and defensiveness, and for clearing the fog of misconceptions; and how to get through the hardest conversations with your reputation and relationships intact.

  When Robert D. Krebs joined the ranks of Southern Pacific Railroad in 1966, the industry had been in decline for decades, and the future of trains was in peril.
