    What marketing lessons can we learn from the Greeks and Romans, their mythology, philosophy and vocabulary? In this book, a marketing expert and lapsed classicist casts new light on marketing through an exploration of ancient Rome and Greece. Expect to be enlightened and enthralled by why “author” comes from the same Latin word as “authority”, and what that tells us about storytelling. Why a segmentation based on Apollo and Dionysus might bring new insight to your comms. And why Socrates found out about cognitive dissonance the hard way. This book brings 2, 000-year-old thinking, many of which formed the foundations of our society today, to provide creative and surprising insights into marketing and business today.

    Small Medium Large - How...

    We live in a world of seemingly limitless consumer choice. Yet, as every shopper knows without thinking about it, many everyday goods—from beds to batteries to printer paper—are available in a finite number of "standard sizes." What makes these sizes "standard" is an agreement among competing firms to make or sell products with the same limited dimensions. But how did firms—often hotly competing firms—reach such collective agreements? 
     
     
     
    In exploring this question, Colleen Dunlavy puts the history of mass production and distribution in an entirely new light. She reveals that, despite the widely publicized model offered by Henry Ford, mass production techniques did not naturally diffuse throughout the US economy. On the contrary, formidable market forces blocked their diffusion. It was only under the cover of collectively agreed-upon, industry-wide standard sizes—orchestrated by the federal government—that competing firms were able to break free of market forces and transition to mass production and distribution. Without government promotion of standard sizes, the twentieth-century American variety of capitalism would have looked markedly less "Fordist." 
     
     
     
    Small, Medium, Large will make all of us think differently about the everyday consumer choices we take for granted.

    The ultimate game plan to optimizing yourself, your team, and your impact  
    
    
    Many believe the key to leadership is having the right combination of tools, strategies, and personal qualities. But leadership is about mindset. Beliefs influence behavior, which directly impacts the culture and the growth and development (or not) of the people on a team. Only by shifting one’s beliefs can any leader affect real change. 
    
    
    The Leader-Shift Playbook  outlines four game-changing mindset shifts for leaders that result in better performance and culture. Author and leadership coach Phillip B. Wilson reveals how simple changes to your beliefs in (1) your own impact, (2) yourself, (3) others, and (4) your relationships can lead to game-changing improvements. Based on in-depth research, decades of coaching experience that has transformed tens of thousands of leaders, and Wilson’s own hard-won lessons as a CEO, these leader-shifts will enable you to better connect with your team and contribute to a company culture where everyone feels encouraged to reach their highest potential. 
    
    
    With practical takeaways and exercises, you will learn how to effectively transform your relationships, connections, and impact. The most effective, positive, and sustainable leadership starts with a leader’s belief in their own potential and in the potential of everyone they lead, so make your leader-shift today.
