    Abstract: Create loyal, engaged, and results-focused teams and organizations using a practical five-part servant leadership formula. Think of a world where people go to work completely engaged, are inspired to do more than they ever thought possible, remain 100% loyal to the teams and organizations they belong to, are achieving mind-blowing results, and gladly and even passionately follow their leader's direction. Is that a world you want to be a part of? The reality is, you really can! In his work with hundreds of leaders and teams, Michael Rogers has created a practical approach to leadership that works. It is the Care to Lead Leader. Care to Lead Leaders are different than most leaders. Most leaders talk of caring with their lips but are far from actually leading with their hearts. Care to Lead Leaders lead from their heart. They understand that leading from the heart wins the hearts of those they lead, which makes leading more purposeful and a lot easier. After listening to this book, you'll have the tools to apply practical servant leadership approaches that create buy-in into bigger visions, improve loyalty and engagement, and move your teams and organizations to unprecedented levels of action.

    Abstract: Humans learn best from feedback--we are encouraged to take actions that lead to positive results while deterred by decisions with negative consequences. This reinforcement process can be applied to computer programs allowing them to solve more complex problems that classical programming cannot. Deep Reinforcement Learning in Action teaches you the fundamental concepts and terminology of deep reinforcement learning, along with the practical skills and techniques you'll need to implement it into your own projects. About the Technology Deep reinforcement learning AI systems rapidly adapt to new environments, a vast improvement over standard neural networks. A DRL agent learns like people do, taking in raw data such as sensor input and refining its responses and predictions through trial and error. About the Book Deep Reinforcement Learning in Action teaches you how to program AI agents that adapt and improve based on direct feedback from their environment. In this example-rich tutorial, you'll master foundational and advanced DRL techniques by taking on interesting challenges like navigating a maze and playing video games. Along the way, you'll work with core algorithms, including deep Q-networks and policy gradients, along with industry-standard tools like PyTorch and OpenAI Gym. What's Inside Building and training DRL networks The most popular DRL algorithms for learning and problem solving Evolutionary algorithms for curiosity and multi-agent learning All examples available as Jupyter Notebooks About the Reader For readers with intermediate skills in Python and deep learning. About the Author Alexander Zai is a machine learning engineer at Amazon AI. Brandon Brown is a machine learning and data analysis blogger. Quotes A thorough introduction to reinforcement learning.

    Abstract: Claudia Reuter left a promising corporate career to raise her two young children but realized, when re-entering the workforce, that the gap in her resume looked like a gap in ambition-not a purposeful plan. Instead of leaning into a corporate career and fighting the structures and systems designed by and for men decades ago, or leaning out and giving up income, Claudia took a different path. That decision ultimately led to success in the corporate world and at home. In Yes, You Can Do This! Claudia shares her own reasons for starting a business, and makes a call to action for women to consider entrepreneurship so that they can create businesses with the rules they want and change the playing field for others, making a significant impact in the world. More than a "How-to book" on building a business, Claudia provides clear examples and practical resources to help others create the life they want through entrepreneurship. In Yes, You Can Do This! you'll learn: how to develop and share your vision; how to deal with stereotypes and unconscious bias; how to leverage perceived weaknesses and turn them into strengths; how to balance life at high speeds and avoid burnout; and how to cultivate the confidence to move from idea to creating a company with the culture and rules you want.

    Abstract: Why Management Sucks and How to Fix It shows people how to look at everyday management and business problems. Authors Jody Thompson and Cali Ressler teach you to set clear goals and expectations. They talk about the importance of working on the endpoint as opposed to managing the process that gets you there and how to talk about the work without focusing on time and physical presence. The strategies in the book use the Results-Only Work Environment (ROWE) mindset. With eyes set on getting rid of distractions, long meetings, and unnecessary updates, the book offers quick strategies that can be used every day. People can have success with the ROWE mindset even if theyre in a traditional work environment. The book will show you: How to reframe your thinking away from counting on general availability (Wheres Bob?) to creating clear expectations (Does Bob know exactly whats expected of him?) How to reduce the number of meetings while increasing their quality How to eliminate scheduled events (the daily update, the weekly staff meeting, the quarterly progress report, the annual performance review) in order to increase critical thinking and improve communication. The book takes a look at the big picture of work and offers ideas about customer service, technology, and work flow. The ROWE mindset can make you more entrepreneurial, more connected with the broader trends in your industry, more willing to take smart risks, and help you smash tired assumptions about what work has to be.

    Abstract: What It Takes is the distillation of lessons learned during nearly half a century of working backstage with the leaders of major professional firms as a trusted adviser on strategy and management, observing a few firms rise deliberately to leadership while many others with comparable hopes could not. Over and over again, in dozens of private meetings with firm leaders, the core questions were: Why do some firms rise to leadershipand why do most not make it? What does it take to excel? Perhaps even more important, what does it take to sustain excellence over years and decades, through success and adversity? Experience teaches that in a competitive market, organizations can rise to acknowledged leadership only by excelling in several specific areas: defining a compelling organizational mission and developing a strong complementary culture; consistently recruiting clearly superior people and training them intensively; organizing and motivating them to work in effective teams devoted to serving important clients on their most important problems; and continuously finding new and better ways, both large and small, to deliver distinctive value for clients. The extensive research for this book is based on decades of studying the success and failure of hundreds of professional firms in North America, Europe and Asia, and on over 300 formal interviews with the past and current leaders of the five extraordinary professional firms that exemplify the elements of durable excellenceMcKinsey in consulting, Cravath, Swaine & Moore in law, Goldman Sachs in investment banking, Capital Group in investment management and Mayo Clinic in health care.

    Abstract: You can fake authenticity. But in this digitally saturated age, your customers will see through any misdirection. As we are constantly on our electronic devices, we have come to distrust curated media and traditional PR. Stephen Denny and Paul Leinberger have found that people now want to make their own decisions based on raw footage, real-time updates, and unfiltered livestreams. How, then, do marketing executives and others gain consumer trust? These Fortune 500 consultants present the answer in Unfiltered Marketing. Drawing on four years of global research, authors Denny and Leinberger have developed a comprehensive five-step process for successfully rehumanizing the digital brand experience and gaining customer loyalty. To follow it, companies must understand that consumers are (1) seeking control in an out-of-control world; and executives must rework their brand to be (2) unscripted, (3) in-process, and (4) in-context, in order to master (5) heroic credibility (brands standing by their philosophy and values). Abiding by these rules, businesses follow in the successful footsteps of brands like Patagonia, T-Mobile, Adidas, GoDaddy, and others.

    Abstract: Urgency-that frantic feeling that we need to be doing more, and faster-is a destructive force in today's workplace. Unnecessary urgency can be toxic, causing stress and burnout. But not all urgency is bad, and sometimes we really do need to get things done quickly. Too little urgency can lead to inaction and lost productivity. So how do we find the right balance where we can use urgency as a meaningful tool to keep productivity up, without generating burnout? Urgent! is a guide to using urgency for good to help achieve your goals, to drive success, and minimize stress for yourself, your teams, and your business. This book will teach you to moderate urgency for yourself and those you lead. In our age of fast-paced technology, it's easy to swing between extremes, working reactively one minute, and being inactive the next. The middle ground, described in this book, allows us to work in the "Active Zone" where we maximize proactivity and productivity. By following the practical strategies outlined in this book, listeners will learn to understand urgency, become proactive rather than reactive, and lead teams to their fullest potential. If you feel that you and your team are stressed to the max by competing demands, leaving no room to focus on what really matters, Urgent! will show you a new way of thinking, leading, and responding.

    Abstract: Walt Rakowich was CEO of Prologis, the world's largest owner of industrial warehouses and a critical partner to companies distributing products throughout the global supply chain. The company was near bankruptcy when Walt took over at the height of the Great Recession. While leading Prologis back to prominence, and in the years since, Walt realized leaders today must lean into timeless values and principles, but with a fresh perspective on the new realities of our leadership climates. The modern leadership environment exists at the convergence of three distinct and dynamic climates: the climates of access, diversity, and acceleration. On their own or in the aggregate, these climates produce significant opportunities and tensions that will challenge leaders for generations. With a fundamental understanding of these climates, leaders develop a selfless approach that withstands the toughest storms. Transfluence shows leaders how they can have transformative influence by overcoming their fears and pride, building transparency into their leadership, developing a strong core of authentic values, and passionately pursuing a meaningful purpose. When leaders do this, they seize opportunities, embrace challenges, and make their organizations and communities greater than ever.

    Abstract: We are all well-acquainted with the sacred cows of the workplace: the conventional wisdom to try hard, work well with others, and focus on producing excellent work. These are cherished nuggets of advice, but in practice, they have a dark side -- blind, unthinking pursuit of these goals leads to inefficiency and a slew of unintended consequences. How can any manager upend conventional wisdom, identify and avoid the dangerous behaviors that masquerade as virtues in traditional work culture, and ultimately lead in the smartest, most productive way possible? Based on the authors extensive coaching experience in Dukes Executive Education programas well as on the latest scientific research in behavioral economics, neuroscience and psychologyTipping Sacred Cows reveals a simple set of steps to avoid the unintended consequences of the various sacred cows that backfire at work. Breeden examines the seven business virtues that can turn into the most powerful, hidden and damaging sacred cows. In their manifestation as sacred cows, these seven qualities show up in workplaces around the world, in every industry, and at every level of leadership. Each has a well-deserved reputation for being good and virtuous. They are the most frequently advocated, widely beloved, and least frequently questioned orthodoxies at work.They are: Balance: Attempting to be all things to all people, without deciding to be anything truly meaningful and distinctive to anyone. Collaboration: Holding too many team meetings and creating a culture of learned helplessness with little individual empowerment and accountability. Creativity: Wasting time and money coming up with an unneeded new idea but ignoring the bottom line. Excellence: Too much investment in producing perfect work instead of developing the quick and dirty solution needed now. Passion: Racing down a path seeking success brings burn-out and disappointment instead. Fairness: Sabotaging each other to ensure no one gets more than their fair share. Preparation: Wasting time in long planning sessions instead of productively working out just-in-time solutions with just the right people. For each of the seven most common sacred cows, Breeden offers 3 simple strategies for overcoming their allure and achieving real results. Tipping Sacred Cows wont advocate that we slaughter sacred cows. Rather it argues that to save these time-tested values by upending the shrouds of conventi...

    Abstract: A practical four-step cognitive therapy program for overcoming self-doubt and fear-from leading experts in the field. Long-time associates of the Beck Institute, Drs. Sokol and Fox share their practical, four-step cognitive therapy program for overcoming self-doubt and fear, building confidence, and maximizing potential in all areas of life. Their unique program enables the listener to identify and examine those areas where self-doubt gets triggered and interferes with their potential.

Listeners will learn how to develop confidence and to base their actions on a new, more positive belief structure, resulting in a true and lasting form of solid self-esteem and confidence.

    Abstract: Nearly 50 million websites, or 20% of the entire web, use WordPress to power their web presence. The force behind WordPress is a company called Automattic, Inc. With just 104 employees, they have a fraction of the resources of similarly influential companies like Google, Facebook and Amazon. Yet Automattic has quietly positioned itself as a powerhouse for the future of the web. How is this possible? What's different about how they work and what can other companies learn from their methods? Scott Berkun decided to find out. From 2010 to 2012 he worked as a manager at WordPress.com, leading a team of programmers to make WordPress better. In THE YEAR WITHOUT PANTS, Berkun shares the lessons he learned, including insights on: How their decentralized workplace (104 employees in 70 different cities) is incredibly creative and productive How they successfully transcended the horrors of email, and use blogs, chat and Skype instead What managers everywhere can learn and emulate from their culture of freedom and experimentation THE YEAR WITHOUT PANTS delves deep into what made WordPress's phenomenal success possible. And Berkun shares what every organization can learn from his story of discovery in applying the world changing ideas for the future of work at the heart of Automattics success.

    Abstract: Most leaders are passionate about their business, and if they had better ideas for how to grow their company, they would use them. They really do want to move their company into the top rank . . . but they have learned first-hand that just wanting that is not enough. They work very, very hard . . . but after a while, they realize that, no matter how hard they work, something important seems to be missing, and they're not quite sure what that something is. They've fallen prey to the "Blind Spots Syndrome"-they don't know what they don't know about the obstacles they face. The Road to Excellence identifies the common blind spots that can take any business off track. The book gives you six powerful leadership strategies that, when followed, make it easier for you to find the answer to the critical question: What, exactly, stands between my company and organizational excellence-and what do I do about it? Only when you've answered that question can you take your company into the top tier!

    Abstract: You're too close to your business, and it's killing your creativity Traditional business structures love stability and predictability. Yet many organizations believe the two essential ingredients for long-term success are creativity and innovation. Kiirsten May and Alex Varricchio, founders of the marketing agency UpHouse, call the relationship between these two opposing expectations the Proximity Paradox-the belief that those who are closest to a subject are best-qualified to innovate for it, when, in reality, intense proximity limits creativity. Instead, people need to create distance from challenges in order to see the best way forward. May and Varricchio believe that until we can separate innovation and execution within ourselves, we will only innovate to the level at which we can execute the idea. To be effective, we need to create distance between our innovation brain and our execution brain. Unpacking ten common Proximity Paradoxes that affect a company's people, processes, and industry, the authors share some practical ideas to create the distance necessary for your next great idea. An especially valuable book for creatives, and non-creatives in creative industries, but equally applicable to all businesses that depend on innovation.

    Abstract: Virtual Distance-the measurable disconnect that arises when we rely on digitally mediated communication-applies to all of us. In the Second Edition of The Power of Virtual Distance, Karen Sobel Lojeski and Richard R. Reilly showcase fifteen years of data to describe their powerful framework for predicting everything from trust, employee engagement, and job satisfaction to bottom-line results. Technology is at the very core of everything we do, and it enables us to be more connected than ever before. But even though technology can collapse the physical distance between us, it can also spark an explosion of psychological and emotional distance. Every business leader needs to understand how these phenomena affect employees' health and well-being-and, ultimately, business performance. The Power of Virtual Distance, Second Edition represents a major new update to the authors' original text on the concept of Virtual Distance. What was, at that time, a groundbreaking new theory, proved to be a prescient expression of what has become the mainstream understanding: the more connected we become, the more isolated we begin to feel. In this Second Edition, the authors present new data, case studies, and the exponentially growing body of evidence underscoring the business case and human necessity for accounting for Virtual Distance.

    Abstract: Millions read the works of Napoleon Hill and are catapulted to their dreams. Others say they get nowhere. Why? The difference between success and failure lies in the use of the Master Mind. The Master Mind, Hill taught, is the pooling of intellectual, intuitive, and creative mental resources which occurs when two or more people enter a supportive pact to assist one another's aims. A Master Mind group multiplies the mental powers of all its participants. This is the "secret ingredient," Hill insisted, that delivers lasting success. Now, acclaimed historian and New Thought author Mitch Horowitz shows you, step by step, how and why the Master Mind works-and how truly easy it is to form and maintain your own Master Mind group. If you love the motivational lessons of Napoleon Hill, you cannot afford to be without the Napoleon Hill Success Course on the Master Mind. "Great power," Hill wrote, "can be accumulated through no other principle."

    Abstract: Nigel Nicholson explains the emergence of leaders in different epochs and cultures. His approach is rooted in evolutionary science and the latest thinking about how cultures and leadership co-evolve over time and place. The essence of leadership is the successful crafting of an identity that merges the leader and the surrounding culture or zeitgeist. The I of leadership is this merger of individual and culture. Sixteen chapters present different sets of stories and challenges and illustrate how different leaders in all walks of life, have responded to critical turning points. The chapters are peppered with stories and examples from the lives of leaders, from the sports stadium to the office of the CEO. The strategic challenge of leadership is to find the right balance between impact and versatility: shaping the world around you to fit your purposes, almost like surfing the wave of culture.A key element in this process is self-discovery how leaders learn about their capability through experience. Leaders fail through lack of insight into themselves and into the worlds they inhabit. Figuring in the book are: George S. Patton / Steve Jobs / Tony Blair / Benazir Bhutto / Mo Ibrahim / Andre Norman / Jean-Pierre Mustier /Andre Agassi / Duke Ellington /George Bush / Barack Obama /Carly Fiorina / Ratan Tata / Warren Buffet /Mahatma Gandhi / Margaret Thatcher / Abraham Lincoln /Ernest Shackleton / Martin Pieters / Josef Stalin / Thomas Watson / Rupert Murdoch / Fred Goodwin / Henry Ford / Akio Morita

    Abstract: The Customer Success Manager has become a critical asset to organizations across the business landscape. As the subscription model has spread from the cloud and SaaS to more sectors of the economy, that pivotal role will only grow in importance. That's because if you want to compete and thrive in this new environment, you need to put the customer at the center of your strategy. You need to recognize you're no longer selling just a product. You're selling an outcome. Customer Success Managers (CSM) are committed to capturing and delivering those outcomes by listening to their customers, understanding their needs, and adapting products and services to drive success. Although several existing resources address the customer success imperative, there is no authoritative instruction manual for the CSM profession-until now. The Customer Success Professional's Handbook is the definitive reference book for CSMs and similar roles in the field. This practical, first-of-its-kind manual fills a significant gap in professional customer success literature, providing the knowledge every CSM needs to succeed-from the practitioner level all the way to senior leadership. The authors-acknowledged experts in building, training, and managing Customer Success teams-offer real-world guidance and practical advice for aspiring and experienced CSMs alike.

    Abstract: With new technology, flatter organizations, far-flung virtual teams, and constant change, getting things done at work is tougher and more complex than ever. Managers and executives are trying harder than ever to keep up and stay effective, relying on cross-functional coordination, better planning and resource sharing, simplified processes, and speeded-up work. It's a herculean challenge, and people are struggling. Overcommitment grows and burnout looms. But even amid the seeming chaos of the matrix organization-where you are constantly being asked to do things by people who aren't your boss-there is always that special person who seems indispensable, who seems to thrive on complexity, and who is able to stay focused and positive and get the right things done: This is the go-to person. In this game-changing book, Bruce Tulgan reveals the secrets of the go-to person in our new world of work. Based on an intensive study of people at all levels, in all kinds of organizations, Tulgan shows how go-to people not only behave differently, but also think differently, basing their decisions and actions on their own personal influence rather than on any formal designation of authority. At the heart of the go-to person's unique credo are the basics of "the ask" and the response-a powerful reimagining of how to say yes and when to say no.

    Abstract: The latest surveys show that over 90% of all organisations use talent measurement processes and that the $4 billion global talent measurement market is growing steadily each year. The records also show, however, that this investment by organizations is having remarkably little impact. And while plenty has been written about best practice about which methods are best to use in which situations--there is little if anything on why these methods are having so little real world impact. This book fills that gap.The authors are part of a small group of people who combine a deep technical knowledge of talent measurement with first-hand experience of developing and implementing talent measurement strategy at a senior level in big multinational businesses. Drawing on current research and the authors vast experience working with such global companies as Sony, Prudential, Novartis, Nike, among others, the book makes six key points: Talent management and talent intelligence depend upon talent measurement Current talent measurement activities are failing to have a significant real world impact Talent measurement is tough to do To improve the efficacy and impact of talent measurement, organisations and vendors need to start considering context more and start thinking in terms of talent matching Organizations need to be more specific in measuring performance so that vendors can make better talent measurement tools Organizations need to start worrying less about which tools to use and more about how they use them

    Abstract: Startup Culture Mindset: A Primer to Building an Amazing Culture and Tribe was written for startup founders or executives who aspire to create an amazing team that buys into the mission. The key is to understand that the founder of a startup or leaders of a company determine the culture on purpose. And in order to do that well, you have to understand the key elements of a culture framework. Based on twenty years of company creation, leadership, and observation, Bernhard Schroeder shares with you the key elements of a culture framework: - Leadership: Led by the founders or key leaders of a startup. - Mission: The goal of the startup from a customer point of view. - Values: The core values of the startup, usually determined by the leadership. - Freedom/Accountability: The key mantra to any successful startup.

    Abstract: Years ago, developing and sustaining a book of business was not as big a problem for accountants, attorneys, financial planners, and other professionals as it is today. Clients were more loyal to the firms they worked with, and unlikely to shop your services, compare rates, or jump ship. Times have changed! And if you don't change along with them . . . well, you're not going to enjoy yourself or have as much control over your career as you deserve. Believe it or not, you can enjoy the process of expanding your client base. How? By taking skills you've already mastered and enjoy deploying, and deploying them in a slightly different way. Even though you didn't go into this career to become a salesperson, even though you'd rather not have to worry about building up or expanding your base of business, even though you think you're no good at business development . . . you can leverage the strengths you already have and use on a daily basis, along with some easy-to-learn new skills, to achieve or exceed your business and professional goals.

    Abstract: Your organization has made the decision to adopt automation and artificial intelligence technologies. Now, you face difficult and stubborn questions about how to implement that decision: How, when, and where should we apply automation in our organization? Is it a stark choice between humans versus machines? How do we stay on top of these technological trends as work and automation continue to evolve? Work and human capital experts Ravin Jesuthasan and John Boudreau present leaders with a new set of tools to answer these daunting questions. Transcending the endless debate about humans being replaced by machines, Jesuthasan and Boudreau show how smart leaders instead are optimizing human-automation combinations that are not only more efficient but also generate higher returns on improved performance. Based on groundbreaking primary research, Reinventing Jobs provides an original, structured approach of four distinct steps-deconstruct, optimize, automate, and reconfigure-to help leaders reinvent how work gets bundled into jobs and create optimal human-machine combinations. Jesuthasan and Boudreau show leaders how to continuously reexamine what a job really is, and they provide the tools for identifying the pivotal performance value of tasks within jobs and how these tasks should be reconstructed into new, more optimal combinations.

    Abstract: On-going coaching and development that can be a "game changer" for all employees! All great coaches know how to ask good open-ended questions and how to give effective feedback. They keep a balanced and honest perspective that separates the person from the problem or issue; coaching to leverage their unique strengths and helping them improve weaknesses with a mindset focused on continuous improvement. This ongoing coaching and development can be a "game changer" for all people and teams with access to it. But what about the teams and players that aren't empowered-or even allowed-to expand their roles? Or the team members whose careers don't inspire or play to their natural gifts, talents, and strengths? It's painful for any organization or manager when people on their team aren't given the tools to succeed; and more painful still when the team member doesn't yet realize it. But by coaching through leadership, any manager of any organization can create a supportive structure that helps assign the right roles, resources, tools, and career opportunities that will best leverage their strengths.

    Abstract: Make the right hires every time, with an analytical approach to talent Predicting Success is a practical guide to finding the perfect member for your team. By applying the principles and tools of human analytics to the workplace, you'll avoid bad culture fits, mismatched skillsets, entitled workers, and other hiring missteps that drain the team of productivity and morale.

Written by a human analytics specialist who applies these principles daily, this book is the manager's guide to aligning people with business strategy to find the exact person your team is missing. An avalanche of research describes an evolving business landscape that will soon be populated by workers in jobs that don't fit. This is bad news for both the workers and the companies, as bad hires affect outcomes on the individual and organizational level, and can potentially hinder progress long after the situation has been rectified. Predicting Success is a guide to avoiding that by integrating analytical tools into the hiring process from the start.

    Abstract: In their follow-up to The Great Workplace which described the organizational model of a great workplaceone in which people trust those they work for, have pride in what they do, and enjoy the people they work withJennifer Robin and Michael Burchell turn their attention to the managers role in creating a great workplace. In No Excuses the authors expose the self-defeating mindsets that lead managers to believe a great workplace is out of their reach. As the authors explain, even managers who yearn to create a successful workplace are often deterred by an ingrained idea that their organizationdue to constraints of their own or the companys leadership, of their operating environment, or their employee baseis not the kind that can be transformed into a great workplace. They say their company is too big, or too small; it has an introverted CEO, it is multi-national and culturally heterogeneous, is too new in the market, is undergoing too many changes. The reasons they proffer are many. But these excuses are what keep managers and their workplaces locked on its same trajectoryless successful and not as great as it could be. To create great workplaces, managers need to get out of their own way. Robin and Burchell make a case that the first step toward making any workplace great is a shift in the managers attitudeand paint a detailed picture of what that attitude adjustment entails. Then they explore the three general categories of perceived challenges or obstacles managers face: (1) leaders skills and characteristics; (2) perceptions of employees capacities for building trust, pride, and camaraderie; and (3) limitations of the working environment or industry in which the organization operates. Finally, the authors offer a clear path for managers to identify these limiting patterns, interrupt them, and make credible, sustained change. Through their experience as consultants as well as material from original interviews, the authors will share case studies, stories, tips and tools for managers to show them that creating a great workplace is an essential goal of being a successful manager at any level, in any company, in any industry. There are no good excuses: Any organization can be a great workplace and every manager at every level has the ability to make it so. This book will show them how.

    Abstract: Next Level Sales Coaching offers insights to sales executives, customer service managers, business owners, and other professional managers on strategies to overcome common challenges in building a "best in class" sales team. Sales performance can impact a company's revenue, profits, market share, and employee retention. The question is, how do you positively impact those goals? The answer is simple: sales improve when your team is better trained, coached, and supported. When a sales team is led the right way, there is an increased probability they will feel better about themselves, their jobs, stay longer, and become a future sales leader in the company. Many books focus on the symptoms of poor sales performance, but they don't tell you how to solve the problems. Next Level Sales Coaching gives you a proven, step-by-step, process and methodology on how to resolve the most common challenges you will face when leading your sales team. The strategies are built on the best practices of over 10,000 sales managers that we have interviewed, researched and observed in action over the last thirty-five years. This book covers how to connect with, train, coach and inspire your sales team. Ultimately, it will help you to reduce turnover, improve performance, and increase retention of top performers.

    Abstract: Move past the obstacles and implement your new strategy Move is your guide to mobilizing your whole organization to take your business forward. Whatever your needed transformation may be: a new initiative, a new market, a new product, your fresh strategy is up against a powerful foe: an organization's tendency to stay very busy and completely engaged what it's already doing. This book shows you how to cut through resistance and get your team engaged and proactively doing the new thing! Author Patty Azzarello draws on over twenty-five years of international business management experience to identify the chronic challenges that keep organizations from decisively executing strategy, and to give you a practical game plan for breaking through. Leaders tend to assume that stalls in execution are inevitable, unchanging parts of the workplace-but things can change. At the heart of every execution problem is the fact that there simply are not enough people doing what the business needs. This guide shows you how to get your entire organization on board-remove the fear, excuses, and hurdles-and uphold the new pursuit against distractions and dissent. No transformation can succeed without suitable engagement from the whole organization, but building engagement can be difficult, uncomfortable, and tentative. This book shows you how to get it done.

    Abstract: Money in the Streets is more than one man's journey in hard-knocks New York. It's more than the recounting of risking it all to win. Told with heart and laced with the sentiment of tremendous gratitude, Barry Habib deftly weaves tales of his upbringing to take the listener back in time. From his childhood, where he'd pick up the discarded toys of other children because he had so few of his own to play with, on into the sales world, where Habib got creative as a sort-of street vendor, Money in the Streets blends humor and hardship through the incredible moments of Habib's life. He wrote this book to answer a compulsion to share what worked for him as he scaled the ladder-creating multiple successful companies, growing into an international speaker, and frequenting major media networks, as well as producing various entertainment productions-most notably as the driving force and lead producer of one of the longest-running shows on Broadway (later made into a film): Rock of Ages. Habib offers his life as proof that you can keep going no matter what. He shares some of his most painful memories while also exulting in personal and business triumphs to encourage everyone to aim for the same. An accessible book that will play on the listener's every emotion, this standout work and Habib's voice are unforgettable.

    Abstract: Since the fall of 2008 we have seen trillions of dollars disappear from the North American economy. Never in recent history have we had so much and lost so much. At the same time, many have been deeply disappointed in their leaders, whether they are business leaders, government leaders, celebrities, or top athletes. It seems as if the demands of this new world order are beyond the ability of most who occupy leadership positions. At times like these, anyone in a leadership position is scrutinized and put under a microscope. There are countless resources advocating different leadership styles, but these styles tend to be faddish. Leaders searching for solutions often adopt whatever style is currently in vogue; however, then they cease to be authentic. This inevitably leads to inconsistent decisions, confusion, and unhappy employees who recognize that the leader is hiding behind a facade. Mindful Leadership introduces you to Mindfulness Meditation, a tool that you can use anytime, anywhere-no chanting or patchouli required-to achieve focus, clarity, authenticity, and the presence of mind to face the reality of any situation. Mindfulness enables a leader to respond to a situation as it arises, to respond to the reality of constant change from a place of deep calm and focus, and to communicate clearly. Seriously, meditation and business do mix, and Mindfulness is taking over boardrooms everywhere. Companies such as Google, Apple, AOL, Xerox, Toyota, Volvo, IBM, Aetna International, RBC, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, and Ford already encourage their employees to use meditation to help them become calmer and more effective. Benefits of Mindfulness Meditation in the worlds of business and leadership include: Greater focus and concentration Improved time management Improved judgment and decision making An enhanced ability to anticipate and serve client needs Enhanced team effectiveness Greater innovation and inspiration Greater productivity Better planning for the future while competing in the present Increased ability to deal effectively with stress Mindful Leadership explains the 8 ways in which leaders can incorporate Mindfulness into every aspect of their lives, allowing them to reduce stress, to maintain awareness and focus, and to optimize their effectiveness and decision making, both personally and professionally.

    Abstract: In his international bestseller The First 90 Days, transition guru Michael D. Watkins outlined a set of basic principles for getting up to speed quickly in new professional roles. Since that book was published Watkins has worked with thousands of leaders, helping them to accelerate their transitions. These leaders posed challenging questions on how to apply the basic principles in real-life situations. The truth that emerged: the First 90 Days framework can be applied in every transition, but the way you apply it is entirely different when you have been promoted to a higher level than it is when you are joining a new organization or taking a role in a different country. Master Your Next Move answers a distinct need, focusing on the most common types of transitions leaders face and the unique challenges posed by each. Based on years of research, and now with a new introduction, this indispensable book explores eight crucial transitions virtually everyone encounters during their career, including promotion, leading former peers, onboarding into a new company, making an international move, and turning around a business in crisis. With real-world examples and many practical models and tools, Master Your Next Move is your guide to surviving and thriving as you make your next move . . . and every one after that.

    Abstract: We all know a visionary leader when we see one. They're bold and prophetic and at the same time pragmatic. They don't just promote change-they drive it, while inspiring and mobilizing others to do the same. Visionaries like Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos possess a host of innate qualities that make them extraordinary, but what truly sets them apart is their ability to turn vision into action. In Lead from the Future, Innosight's Mark W. Johnson and Josh Suskewicz introduce a new way of thinking and managing, called "future-back," that enables any manager to become a practical visionary. Addressing the many barriers to change that exist in established organizations, they present a systematic approach to overcoming them that includes: the principles and mindset that allow leadership teams to look beyond typical short-term planning horizons; a method for turning emerging challenges into the growth opportunities that can define an organization's future; a step-by-step approach for translating a vision into a strategic plan that teams can align around and commit to; and ways to ensure that visionary thinking becomes a repeatable organizational capability. As practical as it is inspiring, Lead from the Future is the guide you and your team need to develop a vision and translate it into transformative growth.

    Abstract: The transition from management to leadership is considerably harder than most people expect. A big promotion does not just mean using the same skill set at a higher levelnew leaders must master a whole new set of skills, with perhaps none more important than the ability to have conversations that lead to high individual, team and organizational performance. What kinds of conversations lead to success, and how can leaders ensure they have them effectively? Leadership Conversations fundamentally changes the conversations that leaders will have with their people and is the ultimate guide to thriving as a high-potential manager and climbing the ladder to become a top organizational leader. Rather than engaging in an ongoing race to be heard and/or produce results, leaders of any level must learn how to ask great questions and listen to the answers, create a culture that places more value on learning than on what people already know, and actually drive innovation and focus on the big picture, versus just getting things done. At the heart of Leadership Conversations is a tactical, practical guide to achieving this, setting out the four types of conversation every leader must master to achieve just that: Conversations to Build Relationships: how to master the emotional intelligence required to be an effective leader, embrace differences in order to engage followers and align them with the organization's goals, and foster genuine transparency and honesty to gain trust and respect. Conversations to Make Decisions: how to integrate facts with people and ask great questions that maximize potential. Key tips are provided on developing good judgment, empowering choice, the importance of being curious, and learning what you don't know (but need to) in order to make good decisions. Conversations to Take Action: how to develop vision, allocate resources, and measure performance. How to avoid assumptions and generally draw followers into action in concert with the leader, rather than direct people to perform. Finally, based on the idea of military "after-action," how to discuss and learn from failures and successes. Conversations to Develop Others: How to drive long term growth and provide the foundation and fuel for future success; how to mentor and recognize people, lead high-potential managers, and ultimately celebrate their success The book concludes with a personal action plan for leaders to implement these t...

    Abstract: Most individuals who move into leadership positions experience the modern day version of trial by ordeal. It's sink or swim. To reduce the learning curve and create a more effective process, this book describes a road map for leadership development, a series of four stages that expand personal competence as well as create a broader impact on the organization or business. Each stage requires unique changes in thinking, perspective taking, and behavior, both those needed to acquire as well as those needed to jettison. The book is a pragmatic approach for self-motivated individuals to take control of their professional development by giving them the concepts, tools, techniques, and assignments to develop their leadership effectiveness where it counts the most-on the job. While highly relevant to new and existing managers, the book is ideally suited for technical professionals and leaders in technical organizations looking to develop critical leadership skills distinct from technical expertise. The concepts and principles are directed toward the individual for on-the-job application; however, this also serves as an organizational and leadership development resource for Executive MBA programs, as well as a blueprint for in-house leadership development programs.

    Abstract: Learn powerful closing and sales negotiation tactics that unlock yes and seal the deal. Each year, sales professionals leave billions of dollars on the table because they are out gunned, out maneuvered, and out played by savvy buyers, who have been schooled in the art and science of negotiation. Because today's buyers have more power than ever before-more information, more at stake, and more control over the buying process-they almost always enter sales negotiations in a much stronger position than the salespeople on the other side of the table. The results are sadly predictable: salespeople and their companies end up on the losing end of the deal. In this brutal paradigm, if you fail to master the skills, strategies, and tactics to go toe-to-toe with modern buyers and win at the sales negotiation table, your income and long-term earning potential will suffer-along with your company's growth, profits, and market valuation. In his new book INKED, Jeb Blount levels the playing field by giving you the strategies, tactics, techniques, skills, and human-influence frameworks required to become a powerful and effective sales negotiator.

    Abstract: Great leaders of innovation know that creativity is not enough. They succeed not only on the basis of their ideas, but because they have the vision, reputation, and networks to win the backing needed to commercialize them. It turns out that this quality-called "innovation capital"-is measurably more important for innovation than just being creative. The authors have spent decades studying how people get great ideas (the subject of The Innovator's DNA) and how people test and develop those ideas (explored in The Innovator's Method). Now they share what they've learned from a multipronged research program designed to determine how people compete for, and obtain, resources to launch new ideas: how you can build a personal reputation for innovation; what techniques you can use to amplify your innovation capital; how you can garner attention for your ideas and projects and persuade audiences to support them; and what it means to provide visionary leadership and how you can achieve it. Featuring interviews with the superstars of innovation-individuals like Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Elon Musk (Tesla), Marc Benioff (Salesforce), Indra Nooyi (PepsiCo), and Shantanu Narayen (Adobe)-this book will help you position yourself and your ideas to compete for attention and resources so that you can launch innovations with impact.

    Abstract: If You Will Lead: Enduring Wisdom for 21st-Century Leaders provides listeners with guidance for any sort of leadership journey. Whether you are a seasoned executive or just starting your first leadership role, this book will help you grow as a leader. Doug Moran starts by posing four critical questions for every listener to consider: 1. Who am I? 2. What do I want? 3. How can I get others to make their own choice to follow me? 4. How can I earn and retain the privilege to lead? If You Will Lead helps each listener discover his or her own answers to these pivotal questions. Moran has taken Rudyard Kipling's classic poem "If-" and created a leadership framework out of it that comprises sixteen eternal and essential leadership attributes. He draws on noteworthy historical events to illustrate how great leaders like Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, Mother Teresa, and others applied these leadership attributes to achieve extraordinary results. If You Will Lead uses the power of storytelling to teach its leadership lessons. It combines bigger-than-life examples with everyday stories to help leaders apply its lessons to their own leadership challenges, whatever they may be. It's a practical guide that offers numerous resources and tools to help listeners hone their skills and achieve their full potential.

    Abstract: Discover the secrets of written persuasion! "The principles of hypnosis, when applied to copywriting, add a new spin to selling. Joe Vitale has taken hypnotic words to set the perfect sales environment and then shows us how to use those words to motivate a prospect to take the action you want. This is truly a new and effective approach to copywriting, which I strongly recommend you learn. It's pure genius." -Joseph Sugarman, author of Triggers "I've read countless book on persuasion, but none come close to this one in showing you exactly how to put your readers into a buying trance that makes whatever you are offering them irresistible." -David Garfinkel, author of Advertising Headlines That Make You Rich "I am a huge fan of Vitale and his books, and Hypnotic Writing (first published more than twenty years ago), is my absolute favorite. Updated with additional text and fresh examples, especially from e-mail writing, Joe's specialty, Hypnotic Writing is the most important book on copywriting (yes, that's really what it is about) to be published in this century. Read it. It will make you a better copywriter, period." -Bob Bly, copywriter and author of The Copywriter's Handbook

    Abstract: Overachiever Joe Theismann had reached the pinnacle of success as an elite NFL quarterback, with a Super Bowl victory and NFL MVP award. But the memory that sticks with many fans is the gruesome injury-his leg was shattered on Monday Night Football-that ended his career. The end of his days on the gridiron wasn't the end of life for Theismann, though. In How to Be a Champion Every Day, Theismann recounts stories from his impressive career, providing an inspirational guide for how to succeed on a team, in your career, and in your everyday life. Theismann draws on the people who have inspired and motivated him over the years, like head coach Ron Rivera, San Francisco 49ers safety Ronnie Lott, and his own mother. These amazing stories all emphasize a simple yet profound message that with hard work, focus, and belief in yourself, you can achieve greatness. Organized by themes such as Attitude, Teamwork, and Motivation, Theismann's wise anecdotes highlight his firm belief that positive-thinking, goal-oriented people can achieve anything they set their minds to. See how Theismann's advice can change your life.

You will gain an upper hand in your interaction with others that translates into higher starting salaries, greater productivity, and better relationships in which you are never the victim.

    Abstract: The Fourth Industrial Revolution is driving change at an unprecedented pace, level, and intensity that is impacting businesses across industries, not to mention our everyday lives. We are rapidly blurring the physical and the digital, transforming the way we live and, in some sense, what it even means to be human. Whether we run a startup or multinational, a nonprofit or academic institution, a city or a whole country, we need to embrace this change to not just survive but thrive under these new realities. In Fearless Innovation, Cisco's managing director of innovation strategy and programs explores how, no matter their function, leaders and managers can cut through the noise to understand change and deliver real results. Goryachev's actionable, consistent, and timeless innovation principles offer a blueprint to driving growth, enacting change, increasing the bottom line, and creating clear measurable value. Featuring diverse case studies of some of today's most innovative organizations, this down-to-earth guide provides advice and clear steps on how to: get teams to embrace innovation beyond empty slogans; focus on execution of innovation through leadership and strategy; measure the real effects of innovation to showcase ROI and attract investment; and more.

    Abstract: What is it about the top tech product companies such as Amazon, Apple, Google, Netflix, and Tesla that enables their record of consistent innovation? Most people think it's because these companies are somehow able to find and attract a level of talent that makes this innovation possible. But the real advantage these companies have is not so much who they hire, but rather how they enable their people to work together to solve hard problems and create extraordinary products. As legendary Silicon Valley coach-and coach to the founders of several of today's leading tech companies-Bill Campbell said, "Leadership is about recognizing that there's a greatness in everyone, and your job is to create an environment where that greatness can emerge." The goal of EMPOWERED is to provide you, as a leader of product management, product design, or engineering, with everything you'll need to create just such an environment. A natural companion to the bestseller INSPIRED, EMPOWERED tackles head-on the reason why most companies fail to truly leverage the potential of their people to innovate: product leadership.

    Abstract: Leaders have experimented with open innovation programs, corporate accelerators, venture capital arms, skunkworks, and innovation contests. They've trekked to Silicon Valley, Shenzhen, and Tel Aviv to learn from today's hottest, most successful tech companies. Yet most would admit they've failed to create truly innovative cultures. There's a better way-and it all starts with the power of habit. In Eat, Sleep, Innovate, innovation expert Scott Anthony and his impressive team of coauthors use groundbreaking research in behavioral science to provide a first-of-its-kind playbook for empowering individuals and teams to be their most curious and creative-every single day. Throughout the book, the authors reveal dozens of hacks and habits they've collected from workplaces across the globe that will unleash the natural innovator inside everyone. In addition to case studies of "normal organizations doing extraordinary things," they provide listeners with the tools to create their own hacks and habits, which they can then use to build and sustain their own models of a culture of innovation. Fun, lively, and utterly unique, Eat, Sleep, Innovate is the book you need to make innovation a natural and habitual act within your team or organization.

    Abstract: Conventional business wisdom tells us that entrepreneurs are society's main source of innovation. Young founders leave college with a big idea, get to work in a garage, and build something that changes the world. Typical corporate employees, strangled by slow-moving bureaucracy, are blocked from making transformative discoveries. In Driving Innovation from Within, strategist and advisor Kaihan Krippendorff disproves one of today's biggest business myths to highlight lessons for innovators and leaders. He reveals how many of the modern world's most impactful creations were invented by passionate employee innovators. If it were left up to go-it-alone entrepreneurs, we would not have mobile phones, personal computers, or e-mail. Distilling more than 150 interviews with internal innovators and leading experts along with insights from the latest research and today's most successful companies, from Tencent and Amazon to Mastercard and Starbucks, Krippendorff lays out a step-by-step playbook to unlock innovation from the inside. He maps the barriers that frustrate efforts to disrupt from within and provides tools to remove them, detailing how visionary leaders can create islands of freedom inside an organization to activate existing employees' potential and beat startups at their own game.

    Abstract: For decades business leaders have been painfully aware of the huge chasm between their aspiration for a nimble, flexible enterprise and the reality of silos, sluggishness, and frustrated innovation. Today, agile is being hailed as the essential bridge across that chasm. Agile, say its enthusiasts, can transform your company, catapulting you to the head of the pack. Not so fast. In this clear-eyed and indispensable book, Sarah Elk and Steve Berez provide a much-needed reality check. They dispel the myths and misconceptions that have accompanied agile's growth-the idea that it can reshape your organization all at once, for instance, or that it should be used in every function and for all types of work. They affirm and illustrate that agile teams can indeed transform the work environment, make people's jobs more rewarding, and turbocharge innovation-but only if the method is fully understood and implemented the right way. Agile, done well, frees and facilitates vigorous innovation without sacrificing the efficiency and reliability essential to traditional operations. The authors break down how agile really works, show what not to do, and explain the crucial importance of scaling agile properly in order to get its full benefit. They then lay out a road map for leading the transition to a truly agile enterprise.

    Abstract: Become the effective, proactive leader you aspire to be with this practical tool kit for leading people and organizations Yes, you can learn the skills to effectively lead people, organizations, and employees. With the right motivation and knowledge, you can be a leader who knows what it takes to succeed. Throughout his extensive experience in training leaders, author Alain Hunkins discovered that many leaders shared a common trait. They were mainly focused on what they were doing but not so focused on how they were doing it, especially when it came to working with other people. By strengthening their leadership capabilities, they could become trusted leaders within their organization, improve employee communications, and build bridges across hierarchies. Cracking the Leadership Code shares the valuable principles and practices that Hunkins developed and refined during the twenty-plus years he's worked with leaders. When you crack the code, you'll have a new operating model for organizational leadership that will help your teams thrive in a twenty-first-century economy. When you learn from the author's insightful experiences working with organizations around the world, you can accelerate your leadership development and become the leader you've always aspired to be.

    Abstract: What if there were a way to turn occasional, sporadic transactions with customers into long-term, continuous relationships-while simultaneously driving dramatic improvements in operational efficiency? What if you could break your existing trade-offs between superior customer experience and low cost? This is the promise of a connected strategy. New forms of connectivity-involving frequent, low-friction, customized interactions-mean that companies can now anticipate customer needs as they arise, or even before. Simultaneously, enabled by these technologies, companies can create new business models that deliver more value to customers. Connected strategies are win-win: Customers get a dramatically improved experience, while companies boost operational efficiency. In this book, Nicolaj Siggelkow and Christian Terwiesch reveal the emergence of connected strategies as a new source of competitive advantage. With in-depth examples from companies operating in various industries, Connected Strategy identifies the four pathways-respond-to-desire, curated offering, coach behavior, and automatic execution-for turning episodic interactions into continuous relationships. The authors show how each pathway creates a competitive advantage, then guide you through the critical decisions for creating and implementing your own connected strategies.

    Abstract: In this book, entrepreneur and state-of-mind specialist Jamie Smart introduces a simple but profound realisation: that the human mind has its own self-clearing capacity, capable of guiding a person back to clarity, regardless of what state (or circumstances) they're in. This book helps you to undo the conditioning that's been keeping you from clarity, with all the benefits of wellbeing, fulfilled potential and success it brings; more time for whats important, improved decision making, better performance where it counts and more of the results that matter to you. By unlocking your inner resources Jamie Smart guides you into an understanding of innate thinking, using an entertaining and engaging combination of stories, research, case-studies and pop-culture references. You will experience increasing clarity and flow, a reduction in stress and an increase in productivity. Emerging confidence and self-belief pay dividends as they find innovative solutions to problems and make progress on goals and dreams that seemed daunting until now. Guided by intuition, their decision-making improves. Better communication skills lead to stronger relationships with bosses, colleagues, and loved ones. Uniquely (and perhaps most importantly), there is no separate implementation step for you to take. The book is written in such a way that as your understanding of innate thinking increases, the benefits start to emerge automatically in life.

    Abstract: There are four stages of transition that all of us experience when making a successful adjustment to a new work situation . . . and eight common, potentially negative consequences that are likely to accompany any organizational change initiative. Leaders who understand these four stages, and who understand the human dynamics behind the eight most common challenges, can improve their odds of success. In this powerful, accessible resource for leaders, management consultant Hamish Knox gives managers an overview of the four stages of transition that all of us experience when making a successful adjustment to a new work situation. They are: 1. Denial; 2. Resistance; 3. Exploration; and 4. Commitment. Knox also argues that there are eight common, potentially negative consequences that are likely to accompany any and every organizational change initiative. They are: 1. A sense of loss; 2.Confusion and ambivalence; 3. Reduced trust; 4. Increased concern about survival; 5. Communication problems; 6. Lower productivity; 7. Turnover; and 8. Strong emotional responses. Based on the work of David Sandler, creator of the Sandler Selling System.

    Abstract: In twenty-five concise steps, you will learn the basics of blockchain technology. No mathematical formulas, program code, or computer science jargon are used. No previous knowledge in computer science, mathematics, programming, or cryptography is required. Terminology is explained through analogies and metaphors. This book bridges the gap that exists between purely technical books about the blockchain and purely business-focused books. It does so by explaining both the technical concepts that make up the blockchain and their role in business-relevant applications. What you'll learn: what the blockchain is; why it is needed and what problem it solves; why there is so much excitement about the blockchain and its potential; major components and their purpose; how various components of the blockchain work and interact; limitations, why they exist, and what has been done to overcome them; and major application scenarios. Who this book is for: Everyone who wants to get a general idea of what blockchain technology is, how it works, and how it will potentially change the financial system as we know it.

    Abstract: In your career, there is one transition that stands out as the most crucial-going from individual contributor to competent manager. New managers have to learn how to lead others rather than do the work themselves, to win trust and respect, to motivate, and to strike the right balance between delegation and control. Many fail to make the transition successfully. In this timeless, indispensable book, Harvard Business School professor and leadership guru Linda Hill traces the experiences of nineteen new managers over the course of their first year in the role. She reveals the complexity of the transition, highlighting the expectations of these managers, their subordinates, and their superiors. We hear the new managers describe how they reframed their understanding of their roles and responsibilities, how they learned to build effective cross-functional work relationships, how and when they used individual and organizational resources, and how they learned to cope with the inevitable stresses of leadership. Hill vividly shows that becoming a manager is a profound psychological adjustment-a true transformation-as well as a continuous process of learning from experience. Becoming a Manager, a veritable treasury of essential leadership wisdom, is a book you will turn to again and again no matter where you are on your career journey.

    Abstract: Julian Birkinshaws previous book, Reinventing Management, focused on how executives can challenge deep-seated assumptions about how large organisations work, and how they can devise new and better ways of working. This book tackles the same problems from the other direction, that is, by focusing on the choices each employee makes, every day, about how we get our work done. The goal, essentially, is to reinvent the practice of management one person at a time. If each one of us becomes more effective in our managerial work, we dont just improve the working lives of those around us, we also become agents of change for this broader endeavour as well to build better businesses. The book is in two main parts. The first part provides the motivation and background for the core ideas in the book: showing how important it is to take management seriously (chapter 1), sketching out the key dimensions of management and where it usually goes wrong (chapter 2), and taking a deep dive into the worldview of the employee (chapter 3). The second part provides a detailed discussion of the three alternative perspectives: a re-interpretation of management through the eyes of the employee (chapter 4), an exploration of our own biases and frailties and how we can overcome them (chapter 5), and a discussion of the use of active experimentation to overcome the limitations and pathologies of the organisations we work for (chapter 6). The final chapter explores briefly some of the ways the profession of management might change in the future. What are the megatrends that could lead to more fundamental changes in how we get work done? Web 2.0, demographic change (Gen Y/Gen Z), and virtual working of course; and then there is the shift in power from the West to the Asia. The author doesnt believe the basic activities of management are going to change dramatically, but there are inevitably going to be shifts in emphasis, and the chapter explores these. . Case examples: a large number of case studies of different management experiments (e.g. Roche, Atlassian, Pfizer, Microsoft, Google, If).

    Abstract: In A Bias for Action, Sumantra Ghoshal and Heike Bruch reveal that only ten percent of managers act purposefully to get truly important work done. A Bias for Action shows that great managers produce results not by motivating others, but by engaging their own willpower through a powerful combination of energy and focus. Bruch and Ghoshal provide simple strategies for bolstering individual willpower and action-taking abilities, and explore ways to marshal the willpower of others to encourage collective action.

    Abstract: 5-Minute Selling presents a proven, simple process that can double your sales, even if you don't have time for an elaborate new sales system. When you spend your days scrambling to take orders and resolving customer issues, there is little time for new sales techniques. This book is for you. In 5-Minute Selling, Alex Goldfayn describes how thousands of his clients and workshop attendees have generated dramatic annual sales growth with short bursts of action throughout the day. With three-second efforts throughout the day, you can add 50 to 100% to your sales. The techniques in this book are simple but powerful: You'll learn the power of picking up the phone proactively to call customers and prospects when nothing is wrong, because almost nobody does this. You'll get approaches for offering customers additional products and services-and asking about what else they are buying elsewhere-because almost nobody does this either. You'll also learn about the low-tech but incredibly effective singular impact of the hand-written note In short, 5-Minute Selling is about showing customers and prospects that we care about them more than our competition does with simple, repeated, lightning-fast, high-value, consistent communications.

    Abstract: With this publication, we finally have a definitive treatise on PyTorch. It covers the basics and abstractions in great detail. From the Foreword by Soumith Chintala, Cocreator of PyTorch Every other day we hear about new ways to put deep learning to good use: improved medical imaging, accurate credit card fraud detection, long range weather forecasting, and more. PyTorch puts these superpowers in your hands, providing a comfortable Python experience that gets you started quickly and then grows with you as you—and your deep learning skills—become more sophisticated. Deep Learning with PyTorch will make that journey engaging and fun. about the technology Although many deep learning tools use Python, the PyTorch library is truly Pythonic. Instantly familiar to anyone who knows PyData tools like NumPy and scikit-learn, PyTorch simplifies deep learning without sacrificing advanced features. It's excellent for building quick models, and it scales smoothly from laptop to enterprise. Because companies like Apple, Facebook, and JPMorgan Chase rely on PyTorch, it's a great skill to have as you expand your career options. It's easy to get started with PyTorch. It minimizes cognitive overhead without sacrificing the access to advanced features, meaning you can focus on what matters the most - building and training the latest and greatest deep learning models and contribute to making a dent in the world. PyTorch is also a snap to scale and extend, and it partners well with other Python tooling. PyTorch has been adopted by hundreds of deep learning practitioners and several first-class players like FAIR, OpenAI, FastAI and Purdue. about the book Deep Learning with PyTorch teaches you to create neural networks and deep learning systems with PyTorch. This practical book quickly gets you to work building a real-world example from scratch: a tumor image classifier. Along the way, it covers best practices for the entire DL pipeline, including the PyTorch Tensor API, loading data in Python, monitoring training, and visualizing results. After covering the basics, the book will take you on a journey through larger projects. The centerpiece of the book is a neural network designed for cancer detection. You'll discover ways for training networks with limited inputs and start processing data to get some results. You'll sift through the unreliable initial results and focus on how to diagnose and fix the problems in your neural network. Finally, you'll look at way...

    Abstract: Let's face it-professional success isn't built only on the work itself. Instead, it's often largely influenced by the manner in which you share or present your work. Small improvements in delivery can result in substantial improvements in outcome. People succeed not simply because they deliver a winning work product or idea, but also because they deliver their work or idea in a winning way. Winning Conditions is a joyful, insightful, and empowering book about delivering your work and ideas so that they (and you!) are more likely to be recognized, accepted, and celebrated. By consciously implementing these ideas, you'll see your colleagues and customers respond more positively to you and your great work. Your strong reputation and overall success will grow. You will begin to win. With Winning Conditions, you can show the world what you're capable of-it's probably more than you ever thought possible.

    Abstract: Every day organizations around the world launch change initiatives-often big, expensive ones-designed to improve the status quo. Yet fifty to seventy percent of these change efforts fail. A few perish suddenly, but many die painful, protracted deaths that drain the organization's resources, energy and morale. Who or what is killing change? That's what you'll find out in this witty whodunit. The story features a Columbo-style detective, Agent Mike McNally, who's investigating the murder of yet another change. One by one, Agent McNally interviews thirteen prime suspects, including a myopic leader named Victoria Vision; a chronically tardy manager named Ernest Urgency; an executive named Clair Communication, whose laryngitis makes communication all but impossible; and several other dubious characters. The suspects are sure to sound familiar and you're bound to relate them to your own workplace. In the end, Agent McNally solves the case in a way that will inspire you to become an effective Change Agent in your own organization. A step-by-step guide at the back of the book shows you how to apply the story's lessons to the real world. Key questions help you evaluate the health of your organization's change initiatives, and you'll learn best practices for enabling and sustaining the desired change.

    Abstract: The world is waking up to a new reality, a rising consciousness of women's contribution to our shared progress. In the past, those who have cared about improving the lives of girls and women have spoken a language of fairness. While that language and that sentiment are still relevant today, there is something even more compelling to be said about women: women are the most consistently under-utilized resource in just about every country in the world, and are vehicles of transformational change. The Economist estimates that women have contributed more to global GDP growth over the past decade than new technology or emerging heavyweights India and China. The UN has found that women reinvest up to 90 percent of their income in their families and communities. Where we see an increase in women's university enrollment rates, an increase in women's earnings, improved maternal health and a reduction in violence against women, we see more prosperous communities, better educated, healthier families and the preservation of equal human rights. There can be no question - women's progress is global progress, and now is the opportune moment to put forward a concrete approach for women's proven transformational style of leadership. Vital Voices presents the unique model of women's leadership that Vital Voices Global Partnership has identified in 14 years of engaging and supporting a network of thousands of women leaders in 127 countries around the world. Two years ago, Vital Voices began actively incorporating the leadership model in the curricula of international trainings and programs with emerging and established women in our global network of leaders, and the response has been overwhelming, leading to new regional chapters, businesswomen's networks, mentoring clubs, and events around the world. The Vital Voices Leadership Model defines six characteristic practices of a leader who has sustainable, transformative impact: finding your voice, leading with purpose, crossing lines that divide, going against the grain, paying it forward, and understanding that leadership is not a destination. Four detailed profiles of real women leaders will anchor chapters on each practice, based on interviews with figures such as Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese pro-democracy leader and Nobel Peace Prize recipient, as well as many lesser-known stories of inspiring women generating real change in their local communities. Throughout the book,...

    Abstract: This book serves as a guided introduction to the richly diverse perspectives on leadership throughout the ages and throughout the world. Each of the selections, introduced by the editor, presents enlightening thoughts on a different aspect of leadership. Writings by Plato, Aristotle, Lao-tzu, and others demonstrate that the challenges of leadership are as old as civilization. Machiavelli, Tolstoy, Ghandi, and W. E. B. Du Bois provide a wide range of insights into the eternal practice and problems of leadership. Modern masters of leadership such as James MacGregor Burns, John Kotter, and Warren Bennis join such leading practitioners as Max De Pree and Roger B. Smith in discussing contemporary issues in leadership theory and practice.

    Abstract: From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Grain Brain and New York Times bestseller Brain Maker . . . Loss of memory is not a natural part of aging-and this book explains why. Celebrated neurologist David Perlmutter reveals how everyday memory-loss-misplacing car keys, forgetting a name, losing concentration in meetings-is actually a warning sign of a distressed brain. Here he and Carol Colman offer a simple plan for repairing those problems, clarifying misconstrued connections between memory loss and aging, and regaining and maintaining mental clarity by offering the tools for: ● Building a better brain through nutrition, lifestyle changes, and brain workouts ● Coping with specific brain disorders such as stroke, vascular dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, and Lou Gehrig's disease ● Understanding risk factors and individually tailoring a diet and supplementary program

    Abstract: "Pushback"--the art of making a firm request-and then holding one's own in a contentious conversation--is a leadership necessity. And yet, women initiate negotiations four times less often than their male counterparts, resulting in getting less of what they want, more notably missed advancement opportunities, fewer plum assignments, and lower pay. In Pushback, top leadership consultant Selena Rezvani argues that self-advocacy is critical to success and teaches women the essential art of asking for what they want and of pushing back to get it. Rezvani believes that successful women who have made it to top echelons serve as the single most important resource for women coming up the leadership ranks. Since many useful pushback strategies go unspoken and unshared, Pushback shines a light on the real rules of holding your own and asking for what you want, straight from the women executives who have successfully implemented them. Through actionable tips from interviews with top business leaders such as Margaret Loesch, CEO of Hasbro/Discovery Communications; Karen Katz, CEO of Neiman Marcus Group; Cynthia Egan, President of T. Rowe Price; and Laura Alber, CEO of Williams Sonoma; among many others, readers will learn the unedited truth about how women have asked their way to the top and triumphed. The book will answer professional women's most pressing questions: What strategies exist for confronting an issue head-on--without decimating the relationship? If I want to advocate fervently about an issue, how far do I push? What's the best way to take a firm position when my needs aren't being met or if I disagree? How can I negotiate my own career advancement? Young women are eager for resources that will help them leverage their skills, promote themselves effectively, and move up professionally. Pushback will fill this void. Written in a "from-me-to-you" style similar to that of a mentor giving candid advice and filled with poignant personal anecdotes from successful female executives, Pushback will be buttressed by compelling facts and research from the world of psychology and leadership.

    Abstract: For many years, there has been quite a bit of talk about employee engagement as a means to lift corporate profits and reduce absenteeism and turnover. However, this talk has not produced better companies. In fact, the evidence shows that incivility and instances of employee abuse are getting worse. Additionally, with profit as the primary goal of organizations, most employees view any benign treatment they receive as a secondary convenience that will dissipate once corporate fortunes decline. That is, many employees still believe they are expendable in the eyes of their employers. This book turns that equation around by examining the practices of twenty-one companies that put the interests and needs of employees first. The companies featured in this book see it as their mission to offer people a better, more fulfilling life for themselves, and assist with that holistic journey by providing the organizational elements people need to reach their potential. They do this first by creating respectful and kind cultures that treat every person as an equal, sentient partner in the success of the company. Second, they diligently work to satisfy people's basic needs. The result is a web of fellow-feeling: earnest affection among people who feverishly work to live up to both the high standards of the institution and their obligations to one another.

    Abstract: What was it like at the epicenter, inside the health system that cared for more COVID-19 patients than any other in the United States? Leading Through a Pandemic: The Inside Story of Lessons Learned about Innovation, Leadership, and Humanity During the COVID-19Crisis takes readers inside Northwell Health, New York's largest health system. From the C-suite to the front lines, the book reports on groundwork that positioned Northwell as uniquely prepared for the pandemic. Leading Through a Pandemic offers guidance on how hospitals and health systems throughout the country can prepare more effectively for the next viral threat. The book includes dramatic stories from the front lines at the peak of the viral assault and lessons of what went well, and what did not. The authors draw upon the Northwell experience to prescribe changes in the health care system for next time. Beyond the obvious need for increased stockpiles of supplies and equipment is the far more challenging task of fundamentally changing the culture of American health care to embrace a more robust emergency response capability in hospitals and systems of all sizes across the nation. The book is a must read for health care professionals, policy-makers, journalists, and readers whose curiosity demands a deeper dive into the surreal realm of the coronavirus pandemic.

    Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has unleashed a firehose of information (much of it wrong) and an avalanche of opinions (many of them ill-founded). Most of us are so distracted by the everyday awfulness that we don't see the broader issues in play. In this book, economist Joshua Gans steps back from the short-term chaos to take a clear and systematic look at how economic choices are being made in response to COVID-19. He shows that containing the virus and pausing the economy are the necessary first steps. Gans outlines the phases of the pandemic economy, from containment to reset to recovery and enhancement. Warning against thinking in terms of a "tradeoff" between public health and economic health, Gans explains that containment gives us the opportunity to develop effective testing that will make it safe for people to interact. Once the virus is contained, we will need to pivot toward innovating, and, finally, we will come together to plan how to protect ourselves from future pandemics. He looks at policy tools that might aid an economic recovery, distinguishing between economic losses during a pandemic and a recession. Gans lays out the economic choices accessibly but with urgency, leaving politics out of it. Economics in the Age of COVID-19 is a must-listen book for anyone interested in the long-term implications of our current crisis.
