Book excerpt: Business as usual. It's conventional, operating within the established norms. It's predictable, delivering the expected. It's comfortable, maintaining the status quo. It's...safe. There are millions of organizations doing business as usual. But, business as usual will never be Remarkable! Remarkable means notably or conspicuously unusual; extraordinary; worthy of notice or attention. The ideas explored in this book have come from a lifetime of observing some extraordinary people and organizations as they live out their conspicuously unusual ideas, producing uncommon results. The effect is that those who work for and those who benefit from these people and organizations find themselves with an irrepressible desire to "remark about them!" What is it that these folks know that others seemingly do not? How does their view of the world lead them to think and behave differently than others? When faced with the same opportunities and challenges, how are their choices different...and why? Discover and apply the principles contained within these pages and you, too, could become Remarkable!

Through the humorous and eye-opening story of Dusty, leaders will discover how to build a culture that inspires team members to bring the best of who they are to the table every day.

It shows leaders the most effective ways to cultivate these qualities in their team members and how to craft a corporate culture where people can thrive.

If so, then this book will show you the fastest and most effective strategy for achieving those goals. The secret, consulting expert Michael Moshiri explains, is to never chase clients. As the author discovered during his decades of consulting with the world's biggest professional service firms - Deloitte, EY, and PwC - what distinguishes highly successful service professionals from everyone else is their ability to use "Catalysts" to attract and motivate clients to want to buy services from them. In Never Chase Clients Again, Moshiri lays out the specific steps - and inner mindset - he uses to leverage Catalysts to rapidly find, reach, and attract the most highly-qualified clients with minimal effort. Moshiri distinguishes the most effective business development actives from the random, ineffective, and wasteful interactions usually associated with "networking" and "lead generation." He then distills his proven strategies for getting clients into an easy-to-follow system (called the "Client Catalyst System") and a set of practical principles, including: Never rely on referrals: Expecting a referral source to take the initiative to present your merits, to endorse you, or to recommend you is the fast-track to failure. Most people prefer not to jeopardize their reputations or relationships. Business is chemistry: To bond quickly with the most highly-qualified clients, you must use the best catalysts. Clients love gravity: If you must drop names, you'd better use the names that carry the most weight. Clients crave value: You can catch more clients with an ounce of pure value than you can with a pound of small talk. In the course of the book, Moshiri outlines the timeless strategies shared by the world's biggest and most successful consulting firms. The step-by-step instructions and practical principles in this book will help you to leverage the power of Catalysts to find new clients, win more business, and grow your consulting firm - quickly, predictably, and efficiently. Never Chase Clients Again is destined to take its place alongside Managing The Professional Service Firm and The Trusted Advisor as a business classic for consulting firm leaders, seasoned consultants, and business development professionals alike.

Download or read book Leading with Noble Purpose written by Lisa Earle McLeod and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Profit doesn't drive purpose. Purpose drives profit. We made some incorrect assumptions about work and those assumptions are killing us. We allowed a narrative that is solely about earnings to replace what we know to be true about human motivation. Human beings are hardwired to seek purpose, but according to data, most people don't feel a sense of purpose in their work. Work has become a grind, an endless series of tasks that lack meaning. Building upon her bestseller Selling with Noble Purpose, leadership expert Lisa Earle McLeod tackles the employee engagement crisis by showing leaders how to put workplace meaning front and center. McLeod, whose clients include organizations like Google, Hootsuite, and Roche, asserts that many organizations are unconsciously squandering their greatest asset—their people's passion. By putting profit before purpose, organizations eroded the very thing that makes a business great. The narrative of profit, earnings, and bonuses was supposed to improve employee performance, but it had the opposite effect. It stripped the joy and meaning from work in ways that have a chilling effect on morale, performance, and ultimately profit. In this new book, McLeod shows leaders how to: Win the hearts and minds of employees, clients, and stakeholders through a Noble Sales Purpose Reframe your approach to metrics so that they accelerate performance Create a tribe of True Believers who drive revenue and do honorable work People want to make money and make a difference. Leading with Noble Purpose shows leaders how to do both.
Download or read book A Philosophy of Walking written by Frédéric Gros and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2023-07-11 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “passionate affirmation of the simple life” explores how walking has influenced history’s greatest thinkers—from Henry David Thoreau and John Muir to Gandhi and Nietzsche (Observer) “It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth.” —Nietzsche In this French bestseller, leading thinker and philosopher Frédéric Gros charts the many different ways we get from A to B—the pilgrimage, the promenade, the protest march, the nature ramble—and reveals what they say about us. Gros draws attention to other thinkers who also saw walking as something central to their practice. On his travels he ponders Thoreau’s eager seclusion in Walden Woods; the reason Rimbaud walked in a fury, while Nerval rambled to cure his melancholy. He shows us how Rousseau walked in order to think, while Nietzsche wandered the mountainside to write. In contrast, Kant marched through his hometown every day, exactly at the same hour, to escape the compulsion of thought. Brilliant and erudite, A Philosophy of Walking is an entertaining and insightful manifesto for putting one foot in front of the other.
Download or read book The Only Leaders Worth Following written by Tim Spiker and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-11 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Only Leaders Worth* Following explores what makes some leaders successful while others fail. In it, Tim Spiker explains the Who* Not What Principle -that becoming a truly great leader is far more about developing who we are as people than improving what we do. In spite of data, logic, and personal experiences that point to it, few leaders intentionally and consciously order their own leadership development or the leadership development within their organizations by this principle.What lives within the well-developed Who that makes an exceptional leader? To start, it is far more complex than having good moral character. It means addressing our insecurities and drive for self-preservation. It requires investigation into our core assumptions about life and the personal disciplines we exercise. In short, it means becoming Inwardly Sound and Others Focused.While becoming a well-developed Who is challenging, it is both the most important and most efficient path to reaching our potential as leaders. Who our leaders are, rather than what they do, ultimately determines if we will follow them over the long haul...and it will determine if others will follow us as well.
