The Little Big Things - 163 Ways to Pursue Excellence

Thomas J. Peters

Sinopse

#1 New York Times-Bestselling Author:No-nonsense, back-to-basics principles to achieve excellence every day from “the uber-guru of business” (The Economist). 
 
No matter the ups and downs of economic indicators or the whirlwinds of new technologies, the patented Tom Peters approach to business and management remains as effective as ever. As essential for freelancers and small-business owners as it is for the heads of major corporations, The Little Big Things is a rousing call-to-arms to American business to get back to the basics of running a successful enterprise. 
 
An avowed enemy of conformism and the status quo, Peters shaped the idea of modern management. In The Little Big Things, he offers 163 ways to excel at the “people side of business”—and reminds us that rather than thinking about Grand Outcomes, we need to focus on excelling today and every day, because it’s the small things that customers notice, it’s the small things that make a lasting impression, and it’s the small successes that lead to something big. 
 
“The father of the post-modern corporation.” —Los Angeles Times 
 
“It is [Tom] Peters—as consultant, writer, columnist, seminar lecturer, and stage performer—whose energy, style, influence, and ideas have [most] shaped new management thinking.” —Movers and Shakers: The 100 Most Influential Figures in Modern Business

The Law of Success in Sixteen...

Napoleon Hill

The Law of Success in 16 Lessons was initially published in 1928 as a multi-volume correspondence course.
According to Hill, the work was commissioned at the request of Andrew Carnegie, at the conclusion of a multi-day interview with Hill. It was allegedly based upon interviews with over 100 American millionaires, including self-made industrial giants such as: Henry Ford, J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison, over 500 of the most successful people of the planet across nearly 20 years. The Law of Success was first presented as a lecture, and was delivered by its author in many major cities and in many smaller localities throughout the United States over a period of more than seven years.
Each of these editions were given to many of the most successful businessmen of the day, self-made billionaires, inventors, Presidents, and others who shaped and built modern America; all of whom had contributed to the book's content.

The Long-Distance Team -...

Kevin Eikenberry, Wayne Turmel

Design and cultivate remote work teams that actually work.

From the experts who brought you The Long-Distance Leader and The Long-Distance Teammate comes the proven and practical guide for leaders to consciously design teams, define and create their desired culture, and encourage and nurture employee engagement-all from a distance.

Team design and culture are often presented as separate concepts when they are in fact intertwined in the remote work setting. Using the 3C model of communication, collaboration, and cohesion, leaders will be given the tools to overcome challenges, such as proximity bias and deteriorating social connections, to create an environment where everyone can contribute and add value equally, regardless of location.

The 3Cs are

Communication-While communication is a fundamental part of being human, it is also a critical foundation of successful work. Without it, teams break down.

Collaboration-Remote leaders face the misguided belief that physical presence is required to have a collaborative team. The truth is that proximity has nothing to do with successful collaboration.

Cohesion-This dimension includes decidedly nonstructural aspects, such as relationships, trust, and accountability. While difficult to measure, a team's cohesion is critical to its success.

Using this framework, leaders of all levels will learn to assess, design, and develop their communication channels, methods for remote collaboration, and ability to foster cohesion to build successful long-distance teams. While a hybrid culture will be different, it can, when done right, be better than what existed before.

Soul of the Deal - Creative...

Marc H. Morgenstern

Bridging Differences for Better...

Lisa Z. Fain, Lois J. Zachary

This first comprehensive guide to helping mentors and mentees bridge gaps between and among cultures-a growing issue in today's diverse workplace-is coauthored by the founder and CEO of the Center for Mentoring Excellence. 
 
 
 
As the workplace has become more diverse, mentoring has become more challenging. Mentors and mentees may come from very different backgrounds and have limited understanding of each other's cultures and outlooks. But mentoring remains the most powerful tool for creating meaningful relationships, furthering professional development, and increasing engagement and retention. Younger workers and emerging leaders in particular are demanding it. 
 
Lisa Z. Fain and Lois J. Zachary offer a timely, evidence-based, practical guide for helping mentors develop the level of cultural competency needed to bridge differences. Firmly rooted in Zachary's well-known four-part mentoring model, the book uses three fictional scenarios featuring three pairs of diverse mentors and mentees to illustrate how key concepts can play out in real life. It offers an array of accessible tools and strategies designed to help you increase your self-awareness and prepare you to embrace and leverage differences in your mentoring relationships. But beyond tips and techniques, Fain and Zachary emphasize that authenticity is the key-the ultimate purpose of this book is to help the mentor and mentee make a genuine connection and learn from each other. That's when the magic really happens.
