Download or read book Brands That Rock written by Roger Blackwell and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2004-05-03 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unique ability of rock and roll to inspire fanatical support from its customers is undeniable; the loyalty showered upon the Rolling Stones, Elton John, Aerosmith, and others who create it, unmatched; and the lessons for corporate America, endless. In the past, business leaders have looked to the successes of other firms to guide their own strategies for increasing market share and capturing more consumer attention, spending, and loyalty. However, in today’s hyper-competitive marketplace, managers are looking for ways to shake, rattle, and roll corporate America’s traditional marketing and branding mindset. In Brands That Rock, Roger Blackwell and Tina Stephan, co-authors of best-selling Customers Rule! and From Mind To Market, take readers behind the music to uncover how businesses can create brands that become adopted by culture and capture a long-term position in the marketplace. Brands That Rock takes a unique, behind-the-music look at how businesses can increase brand awareness, customer loyalty, and profits by implementing some of the same strategies that legendary bands have used to transform customers into fan and create deep, emotional connections with them. Aerosmith and Madonna offer insight into how to evolve a brand to remain relevant in the marketplace without alienating current fans, while the Rolling Stones and KISS prove that successful execution at all levels of the brand experience are key to capturing long-term loyalty. Stephan and Blackwell also examine how businesses, from Victoria’s Secret and Wal-Mart to Cadillac and Kraft, have implemented ‘rock and roll strategies’ to become adopted by culture and secure fans in their own right. Filled with fun anecdotes and interviews from industry insiders, Brands That Rock will relate to managers who grew up with classic rock, showing them how build iconic brands, and delight fans decade after decade. Roger D. Blackwell (Columbus, OH) is President of Roger Blackwell Associates, a consulting firm that works with Fortune 500 companies in the areas of consumer trends, strategy, e-commerce, and global business. A highly sought-after speaker, he is also Professor of Marketing at the Fisher College of Business at The Ohio State University.

Download or read book Watering Rocks written by David S. Maurer and published by . This book was released on 2016-10 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Watering Rocks is a compilation of short essays on the state of leadership in the world of work today. Originally intended as a guidebook for my sons as they were preparing to enter the workforce, it became more than that over time. As I reflected on my own work life and the failures and successes I have experienced, I found that there were many valuable lessons worth sharing for a larger audience. The notion of watering rocks is a metaphor for how many leaders often spend - or waste - their time "watering" or otherwise nurturing the relatively few "rocks" in our organizations; often at the expense of the more abundant "flowers" to be properly tended. It's not unlike the famous Pareto Principle which offers that 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. In the realm of leadership, I suggest that we spend 80% of our time focused on 20% of our people. Perhaps we do so because we need to generate the greatest impact on overall performance. Perhaps we do it because we gravitate toward the smaller number of people "demanding" our leadership time. I think we tend to embrace the challenge of working with the lower 20%, because that must surely be the role, if not the purpose, of the effective leader. Find problems, solve problems. Identify broken parts and fix them. I believe this collection of notes, experiences, warnings and inspirations will resonate with anyone struggling with their job, professional relationships, time management and most significantly, getting the best from themselves and those in their charge.
Download or read book Essentialism written by Greg McKeown and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • More than one million copies sold! Essentialism isn’t about getting more done in less time. It’s about getting only the right things done. “A timely, essential read for anyone who feels overcommitted, overloaded, or overworked.”—Adam Grant Have you ever: • found yourself stretched too thin? • simultaneously felt overworked and underutilized? • felt busy but not productive? • felt like your time is constantly being hijacked by other people’s agendas? If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the Way of the Essentialist. Essentialism is more than a time-management strategy or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution toward the things that really matter. By forcing us to apply more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy—instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us. Essentialism is not one more thing—it’s a whole new way of doing everything. It’s about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.

Download or read book Throwing Rocks written by Lindsey Acton and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-04 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lindsey Acton was a first-year English teacher at a central Indiana high school when a troubled and obsessed student had school officials concerned that something very bad could happen at his hands. A large police presence at school thwarted a scare at the school, but when the student died later that night, the emotion and trauma was a lot to absorb for a 23-year-old teacher who was never trained to deal with such an emotional child. In "Throwing Rocks,'' Lindsey takes you deep inside this teacher trauma, how it dragged her to her own lows and how it took a therapist and her homework assignments to bring this young teacher back to life. This book is a must-read for anyone in education, from teachers and administrators to parents and students as well. Teacher trauma is real, and is overlooked far too often.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The promise and perils of the digital economy - and how we can use it to create prosperity for all The digital economy was supposed to create a new age of prosperity for everyone. But as Facebook resells our data for billions and self-driving cars threaten to put drivers out of work, it has so far only exacerbated the gap between winners and losers. Yet the possibility of an economic Renaissance still lingers - if we seize the opportunity now. In The Growth Trap, Douglas Rushkoff identifies this crucial economic turning point and calls on everyone to remake the economic operating system from the inside out - to redistribute wealth and prosper along the way. With practical steps matched by incisive analysis, The Growth Trap offers a pragmatic, optimistic, and human-centered model for economic progress in the digital age.
Download or read book The Leader in Me written by Stephen R. Covey and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children in today's world are inundated with information about who to be, what to do and how to live. But what if there was a way to teach children how to manage priorities, focus on goals and be a positive influence on the world around them? The Leader in Meis that programme. It's based on a hugely successful initiative carried out at the A.B. Combs Elementary School in North Carolina. To hear the parents of A. B Combs talk about the school is to be amazed. In 1999, the school debuted a programme that taught The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Peopleto a pilot group of students. The parents reported an incredible change in their children, who blossomed under the programme. By the end of the following year the average end-of-grade scores had leapt from 84 to 94. This book will launch the message onto a much larger platform. Stephen R. Covey takes the 7 Habits, that have already changed the lives of millions of people, and shows how children can use them as they develop. Those habits -- be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek to understand and then to be understood, synergize, and sharpen the saw -- are critical skills to learn at a young age and bring incredible results, proving that it's never too early to teach someone how to live well.
