Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book A BOOK ABOUT HOW WE CAN LEARN FROM OUR ENCOUNTERS WITH CUSTOMERS AND CLIENTS, AND ACCELERATE OUR SUCCESS IN BUSINESS AND CAREER Veteran adman and author Ambi Parameswaran has relied on one process of learning above all others: powerful conversations with clients and customers. A challenging customer, in his view, goes from being someone who poses an obstacle to quality work to someone with eye-opening ideas and concepts. Approached as an exercise in listening and learning, these conversations can become long-term lessons. Ambi has worked with some of the most respected brands and names in the Indian corporate world, and each of those assignments were for him masterclasses in leadership development. In this book, Ambi recounts conversations with some of the most iconic business leaders, such as Ratan Tata, Azim Premji, S. Ramadorai, Karsanbhai Patel, M. Damodaran, Dr V. Kurien and many others. He soaked up these conversations, in his own words, 'like a sponge’. This book is an attempt to walk us through some of those dialogues—both the illuminating and the difficult aspects of them—to help us understand how they were learning sessions. For anyone looking at turbocharging their business and career, the ‘Sponge Process’, which emphasises listening, is a radical new way of engaging with clients and customers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book SPRING: A METAL COIL THAT CAN BE PUSHED, PRESSED OR PULLED BUT WHICH ALWAYS RETURNS TO ITS ORIGINAL SHAPE AFTERWARDS. Rejection is inevitable in every stage of our lives. But what if this inevitability were a tool? What if it could be used as leverage to spring forward at every setback? What if there was a way to systematically process rejection and become a super-spring? Ambi Parameswaran—best-selling author, brand/leadership coach and former CEO of FCB-Ulka Advertising—was rejected at his dream job interviews, denied promotions and had clients turn down his business pitches.

Abdul Kalam, author Amish, the founders of Infosys, and others have used rejections as a pivot to swing their careers and businesses around. Ambi brings his decades of experience to bear on perhaps the vital life and career lesson you could learn from rejection. In Spring, he puts a gentle arm around your shoulders and helps you bounce back stronger than ever from every rejection.

Download or read book Leadership Matters written by Anne W. Ackerson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-08-21 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2013, this revision of Leadership Matters features nine new profiles and a new chapter of emerging museum leader voices, proving that leadership is as much about individuals as institutions. Using personal insights from the history museum field’s most engaging, innovative and entrepreneurial leaders, these profiles focus not only on museum directors and CEOs, but also on the “leaders within”—deputies, department heads and team leaders -- and those demanding change from the community. Baldwin and Ackerson weave together the voices of 21st-century museum leadership at its best, creating a resource for graduate students, mid-career professionals, institutions, and boards of trustees to move from the status quo to being agile and influential, fostering leadership that will make a difference. Too many museums and heritage organizations still consider leadership development a ‘nice-to-have’, but not a necessary component for a successful executive director or department head. The field struggles to address a new round of cultural warfare fueled by widespread societal division and the overwhelming lack of diversity and equity in museum leadership at all levels, including boards of trustees. Additionally, the field continues to ignore the gender pay gap despite a workforce hovering at 50-percent female and with the potential to grow significantly over the next decade. More than ever, successful museum leadership isn’t the result of longevity, scholarship or curatorial achievement. In fact, today’s successful museum leaders bring myriad skills to the table, creating a style that works both personally and professionally. This snapshot of museum leadership focuses on history and cultural heritage organizations to help readers understand the power of individual leadership and its relationship to organizational strength. This book features: • 36 interviews – nine of them brand new to this edition -- with leaders in the field from a range of positions and institutions • 10 myths of museum leadership and why they’re wrong • 10 simple truths of museum leadership • A leadership “agenda” with criteria and goals for individual and organizational development
