Sinossi

In "Rivers of Great Britain," a collective of expert authors delves into the rich tapestry of the nation's waterways, weaving together historical narratives, environmental studies, and cultural reflections. The book is characterized by its eloquent prose and thorough research, combining vivid descriptions with an analytical lens that explores the ecological significance and historical impact of these rivers. Spanning from the majestic flows of the Thames to the serene streams of the Highlands, each chapter serves as both an homage and a critical examination of how these waterways have influenced British society, culture, and the natural landscape across centuries. The authors, hailing from diverse backgrounds in environmental science, history, and literature, have come together to illuminate the often-overlooked stories that lie along Britain'Äôs riverbanks. Their shared expertise not only enriches the narrative but also reflects a commitment to raising awareness about the need for conservation amidst growing ecological concerns. This collaboration underscores the interconnectedness of British rivers and the communities they sustain and inspire. "Rivers of Great Britain" is essential reading for nature enthusiasts, historians, and anyone interested in the intricate relationship between culture and ecology. This beautifully illustrated volume not only serves as a guide to the rivers themselves but also as a call to action for preserving these vital lifelines for future generations.

    CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the CEO. 
    As the CEO of a sales organisation, how many times have you said to yourself: 
    "thank god our customers are buying because we're not selling" 
    "we had ten-times pipeline coverage, but we still missed our number?" 
    Or ... heard from your sales leads the following: 
    "the person who was going to sign off on our deal has gone on leave" 
    "this is a strategic deal - we must discount to win" 
    "they decided to do nothing?" 
    If these lines sound familiar, then your sales team is stuck in the past. They are struggling to keep pace 
    with the market and will continue to stumble into the future. That's not to say you won't make your 
    numbers on occasion, but you can be guaranteed your company won't be the clear leader in its market. 
    This creates distrust with your sales team and that uneasy feeling of not being sure you will meet your 
    targets. 
    Is there a better way? 
    After twenty years as a senior IT sales leader addressing this problem and demonstrating measurable 
    success across multiple organisations, Andrew Phillips knows there is. 
    CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve 
    your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the 
    CEO. 
    The process is a multi-year investment to transform your sales organisation. It's challenging, but the 
    results are consistent and the revenue reliable. Andrew Phillips invites you to take the next step and 
    discover the benefits of CEO-Led Sales.

    The basis of competition is changing. Rivalry is shifting from well-defined industries to broader ecosystems: automobiles to mobility platforms; banking to fintech; television broadcasting to video streaming. Your competitors are coming from new directions and pursuing different goals from those of your familiar rivals. In this world, succeeding with the old rules can mean losing the new game. Winning the Right Game introduces the concepts, tools, and frameworks necessary to confront the threat of ecosystem disruption and to develop the strategies that will let your organization play ecosystem offense. 
     
     
     
    To succeed in this world, you need to change your perspective on competition, growth, and leadership. Strategy expert Ron Adner offers a new way of thinking, illustrating breakthrough ideas with compelling cases. How did a strategy of ecosystem defense save Wayfair and Spotify from being crushed by Amazon and Apple? How did Oprah Winfrey redraw industry boundaries to transition from television host to multimedia mogul? How did a shift to an alignment mindset enable Microsoft's cloud-based revival? Each was rooted in a new approach to competitors, partners, and timing that you can apply to your own organization. For today's leaders the difference between success and failure is no longer simply winning, but rather being sure that you are winning the right game.
