Summary

Speak Your Truth in BusinessGlobalization in business is about expanding your reach by getting your products out there. But products don't sell themselves, people do that. If you want to do business globally, you have to be able to work with different cultures. Beyond that, you must be able to understand the person and their behaviors, their energies. To really make teams work, you must get down below the skin level to the behaviors that drive people. As a leader, that means more than just listening with your ears, you must also listen with your heart—a crucial element when reimagining the workplace in a virtual world where true human connections are difficult, if not impossible, to make. You must also inspire your team, those informal leaders who have no authority but who know how to influence by understanding and connecting with people.In The Leadership Attitude: Inspiring Success through Authenticity and Passion, author Deborah E. McGee shares her evolution of leadership from one who led solely from her head, letting only logic and facts guide decisions, to one who now knows how to lead with the heart. That means stepping back and learning to trust others to lead because there are a lot of good ideas out there. It also means being a leader of faith, one who is not afraid to speak openly about her Christian faith and leading as Christ would lead.

    Millions have been inspired by the Bible’s spiritual lessons. Now, Lorin Woolfe provides a unique way to view the Bible: leadership lessons that can be applied to our modern business world. Consider David’s courage and innovation in slaying Goliath with just a stone and a sling; Moses’ outstanding "succession planning" in picking Joshua; Joseph and the political skills that brought him to the seat of power; and of course, Jesus’ compassion, communication skills, and vision that launched Christianity (a long-term success by any measure). Their achievements -- and their inspired methods of achievement -- offer a different perspective on business leadership.For the dozens of Biblical stories presented, Bible on Leadership provides:A concise retelling of each storyOne (or more) leadership lessons suggested by each storyExamples of contemporary business leaders who exhibit some of the inspired traits of these ancient leaders, including: Fred Smith of FedEx, Howard Shultz of Starbucks, Roy Vagelos of Merck, and many more.The chapters cover universal topics such as: courage; purpose; communication; honesty and integrity; power and influence; performance management; team building; humility; compassion; justice; encouragement and consequences; and wisdom.Each topic concludes with a list of key points to keep in mind as readers continue on their own leadership journeys.

    Imagine you are a former mob boss who used to make money disappear. What would your best advice be for doing legit business with no consequences? 
By age 24, charming mob boss Michael Franzese was one of the wealthiest people on Fortune magazine’s survey. As one of the rare people who quit the mob and lived to tell about it, Franzese has a unique perspective on how business is done. 
One thing he noticed is that inside the mob business, there are ways to make millions per week. If you apply these same principles outside of organized crime, then people will believe in your product or service more than ever before. 
In I’ll Make You an Offer You Can’t Refuse, Franzese shares key mafia rules that are applicable to business today such as:Mob Rule # 4: Be an Early Riser and Avoid Getting Killed in Your PajamasMob Rule # 5: Ya Gotta Have a CrewMob Rule # 7: Cook the Pasta, Not the Books 
Franzesse uses an interesting dichotomy of Machiavelli, the patron saint of Organized Crime and King Solomon, the wisest king ever appointed by the Almighty, to highlight universal principles of business. 
I’ll Make You an Offer You Can’t Refuse is essential reading for burgeoning entrepreneurs, business people and anyone interested in leadership.

    Survival strategies for communicating in a notification-saturated worldAs our ability to pay attention in a world of distractions vanishes, it's no wonder that our ability to be heard and understood—to convey our messages—is also threatened. Whether working with our teams and customers or communicating with our families and friends, it is increasingly difficult to break through the digital devices that get in the way of communication. And the ubiquity of digital devices means that we are often "multicommunicating," participating in multiple conversations at once. As a result, our ability to be socially present with an audience requires an intentional approach.This increased strain on attention has never been more clear than during the global pandemic, when our homes suddenly accommodated both work and family life. What are our options when facing professional communications at all hours? Do we ask for the technology to be put away at the dinner table? Establish other ground rules? What about using digital communications to our advantage—how can we facilitate information-sharing in the midst of a world where we are overwhelmed with content?
