Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expectations from home run high for Lucky. All the extended family resources have been spent on his university education, with the hope that he will take over the family responsibilities when he gets a good job. But a good job in the Peoples Republic is a pipe dream for graduates from many families like Luckys, who have nobody in government. He is outside the gold circle. He must penetrate it or forever be a failure. I marvel at the authors brilliant power of succinct articulation and enticing narration. I can see an Achebe in the making. It is a handy recipe for deliberate scholarship. Alh. Muhammad Saba A beautiful painting in words of the dismal job situation in the country . . . . The author has succeeded in making a case for the many Luckys out there who are outside the gold circle, with the hope that the authorities will do something about it. Theresa Ohaegbulem A revelation of the damages done to millions of families in this country due to unfairness in the job selection process. The author surely deserves an award for this wonderful work! Emmanuel Ishiekwen

Download or read book Start with Why written by Simon Sinek and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-12-27 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspirational bestseller that ignited a movement and asked us to find our WHY Discover the book that is captivating millions on TikTok and that served as the basis for one of the most popular TED Talks of all time—with more than 56 million views and counting. Over a decade ago, Simon Sinek started a movement that inspired millions to demand purpose at work, to ask what was the WHY of their organization. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, and these ideas remain as relevant and timely as ever. START WITH WHY asks (and answers) the questions: why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over? People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with WHY. They realized that people won't truly buy into a product, service, movement, or idea until they understand the WHY behind it. START WITH WHY shows that the leaders who have had the greatest influence in the world all think, act and communicate the same way—and it's the opposite of what everyone else does. Sinek calls this powerful idea The Golden Circle, and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be led, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY.

Download or read book Deal Junkie written by Gilbert Harrison and published by Post Hill Press. This book was released on 2022-01-25 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If it were your job to bring a company to the bargaining table so it could merge, sell or divest, you had better have the stamina and guts as well as an intricate knowledge of how the human mind operates. Negotiating these kinds of deals is not for the faint of heart. But for over fifty years, one merchandising giant after another—Marshalls, TJ Maxx, Home Depot, Nine West, Kohl’s, Macy’s, Sears, CVS, The Limited, Dollar Tree, Eddie Bauer, Interparfums, Jeffrey Stores, and Jos A. Bank, to name a few—have relied on Gilbert Harrison to help them forge just these kinds of deals. Have they all been signed, sealed, and delivered? No, that’s not how the game works, and getting many of these deals negotiated is exactly that—a game. In all deals, nobody knows who to believe or not to believe, and what a company’s objectives are. But whether buying, selling or divesting, it has been Harrison’s job to try and figure out the secret competing interests of a company and to get those deals across the finish line. Deal Junkie is the story of Gilbert Harrison’s rise to becoming one of the true lions in the field of retail, apparel, beauty, footwear and other merchandising and consumer-related companies.

Download or read book Beyond Dealmaking written by Melanie Billings-Yun and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-01-26 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting to yes is not the same as getting results. In Beyond Dealmaking, international negotiation expert and mediator Melanie Billings-Yun shows that the key to winning unbeatable, long-term results in today’s complex economic landscape is to ­negotiate solid long-term relationships. Traditionally, negotiation has been approached as an isolated activity, separate from the business relationship. But those who focus only on getting the deal closed often find their victory doesn’t translate into sustainable profits. Any deal is as fragile as the paper it’s written on. Countless disputes arise and deals easily collapse when the negotiation ­process leaves one party unhappy, feeling forced into unfair terms, or even disgruntled at a change in circumstances. In five clear steps, Billings-Yun takes the pain and fear out of negotiation with her proven GRASP method, showing how to: Understand the Goals of all parties, beyond the immediate deal Develop Routes to maximize mutual benefit and promote synergy among the parties Build openness, trust, and common understanding through valid Arguments Benchmark Substitutes to keep relationships from growing stale or one-sided Increase your Persuasion through empathetic communication and genuine care Filled with real-life examples of negotiations that have gone right and wrong, this ­groundbreaking book shows how fairness, honesty, empathy, flexibility, and mutual problem-­solving lead to sustainable success. By following the powerful five-step GRASP ­negotiation process, anyone can learn to negotiate in a way that is positive, exciting, and rewarding. Most importantly, they will learn that the greatest victories come not through fighting ­battles, but through building alliances.
