Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Has the potential to transform how all companies are run…Nothing could be more valuable!”—Mark Drewell, CEO, Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative (GRLI) From two of the world’s most successful business leaders comes Common-Sense Business—an accessible, actionable guide to better leadership, increased profits, and a more sustainable economic model predicated on prudence and socially conscious business. Common sense and prudence have long been among the guiding tenets of society, but in today’s economy they have been completely abandoned in the interest of blindly maximizing profits. Common-Sense Business shows that this current economic model is both detrimental and unsustainable, and that we must transform the global economy along the lines of common sense toward the common good. Ted Malloch, a thought leader and policy influencer in global economic strategy, and Whitney MacMillan, the former chairman and CEO of the world’s largest private corporation, draw on recent research, history’s greatest minds, and their own successes to explain that ethically driven business is both a moral and financial necessity. Inspired by Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, this work explains to readers in all walks of life that ethically driven business will lead to better long-term profits, larger customer bases and more positive customer relations, and a holistically improved business. This book is a must-read for business owners, entrepreneurs, students, and businessmen and women in all sectors of the economy.

Download or read book The Common Sense Leader written by Vantrel Mainor and published by . This book was released on 2022-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All leadership decisions are not complicated; however, leaders themselves can make decisions more complicated than they should be. Ego, insecurity, indecisiveness, fear, etc. contributes to the lack of common- sense leadership needed today. The factors afore mentioned create confusion that can impede sound leadership decision making. This lack of common-sense decision making, communication, and/or implementation tears away at the fabric of our cities, states, and nation if you are in government. It cripples businesses if you are an entrepreneur. It destabilizes our schools if you are in education. It is no longer the question of "Where have all the leaders gone?" but rather "Where have all the common-sense leaders gone?"

Download or read book Common Sense Leadership Matters written by Pete Blaber and published by Pete Blaber. This book was released on 2023-06-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third in a series of three leadership books. The argument of this book is contained in the title: Common Sense Leadership Matters and Toxic Leadership Destroys. To reinforce the point this book is organized as a case study. American Heritage Dictionary describes a Case Study as follows:1.A detailed intensive study of a unit, such as a corporation or a corporate division, that stresses factors contributing to its success or failure.2.A detailed analysis of a person or group, especially as a model of medical, psychiatric, psychological, or social phenomena.3.An exemplary or cautionary model; an instructive example.The case study that follows consists of two sections. The first section of the book: "How Common Sense Leaders Create a Healthy Leadership Climate" (30 pages) tells the story of how I learned what common sense leadership is, as well as how to use common sense leadership to create a healthy and thriving leadership climate. The story takes place while I was serving as a lieutenant in the 2d Ranger Battalion. The second section of the book: "How Toxic Leaders Create Toxic Leadership Climates" tells the story of what really happened to Pat Tillman and his Platoon in Afghanistan (210 pages). The story also takes place in the 2d Ranger Battalion and contrasts with the first by providing a cautionary tale of what can happen to an organization and its people when common sense leadership is absent and toxic leadership fills the void. Together, the two sections provide a real world case study that reinforces why common sense leadership matters, and how toxic leadership and the toxic leadership climates they create, can destroy an organization, its ability to successfully accomplish its purpose, and in extreme situations, the people that are forced to live and work under them.
