It was President Obama who reached out to Ed Whitacre to come out of retirement and take over GM in 2009.

And when he got to Detroit, he started to whittle down the corporate bureaucracy right away - and got GM back on track in record time.

Download or read book The Power of Leadership Insight written by Casey J. Bedgood and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-11-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership is a risky business. In the current world, change is the new normal and only constant. As change grows, so does risk. Thus, leaders must be master change agents and master mitigators of risk. But, how will leaders succeed if they don’t measure and lack insight? Simply put, they won’t. Those that are successful in these arenas will ride the waves of success during their tenure on the leadership stage. In contrast, their counterparts will be crushed by the never-ending waves of disruption. Often leaders or those aspiring erroneously view leadership power from a self-interested perspective. They see power through the lens of a title, position, control over others, influence, emotional intelligence and the like. Unfortunately, this view is misaligned and short sighted. Another perspective of leadership is the ability to impact positive change for those around you. In reality, leaders are those that use their gifts, skills and knowledge to educate and empower others in the long run. The purpose of this book is to unveil insight as to the true meaning of leadership power – how to attain it, how to leverage it to add the greatest amount of value to humanity, how to weaponize it to marginalize and eliminate risk and how to share it with others so they can carry the torch once you step off the leadership stage. In this book, readers will learn: How to master the art of change The value of leadership self-advocacy The pearls and pitfalls of leading integration teams The unintended consequences of sharing knowledge The sidewinder effect of misinterpreting root causes of success The leadership test of humility Leadership matchmaking to ensure the right leaders are selected to solve the organization’s problems Leadership Loopholes: The Houdini Effect The risk of underestimating leadership value The risk of not focusing on the right attributes The risk of leading turnarounds

Download or read book Spiritual Prescriptions written by Evangelist Bolajoko Olayemi and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-01-10 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written by divine instructions from God Almighty to as many that are ready to follow His divine protocol. Remember, I say, "You can never overpray. You can only underpray." I also want you to know that surely your prayers are not a waste. There is no way someone can fulfill or complete God's agenda for his or her life without prayer. I assure you, you still have hope in Christ Jesus to live longer. Remember these: Doctors can only detect what happens to you or what is wrong with any part of your body through their machine, but they can never make it perfect like the way it was before. But Jesus can. Doctors can only place you on hospice care and tell you that you have less than six months to live, but Jesus has the final say over you. See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. (Deut. 32:39) Jesus can still lend you His life because He has paid for your life. Only Jesus is a great physician. Bolojoko Olayemi is originally from Nigeria. She is a graduate of business administration. She is an evangelist and missionary with a strong desire for souls winning, a preacher of His word, a coach, and a teacher, alongside the publication of this book, to depopulate the kingdom of darkness and to increase the kingdom of God. This makes her first book to be published. To the glory of God, many more are on the way to changing the world for Christ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a doctor looks beyond diseases, he starts writing beyond prescriptions. The doctor here is not only the story writer, he is also one of the characters. He sees it all; hope, despair, drama, ecstasy, magic, humour, agony, denial, belief, sometimes all in a blend. The reader may have a reaction of his own! The stories are short but leave a lingering feel. There is flow, there is pause. Sometimes its like a roller coaster ride, sometimes like a dropped beat. There are intense moments; there is a lighter side to life as well. With all the technicalities of disease aside, it is the human behaviour in focus. Both of the doctor and the patient! You can read them on the move; or relaxed. You may consider them as a related experience or a totally new insight. Be whatever, you should be able to feel the intensities.

Download or read book Turnaround written by Peter Blair Henry and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty years ago, China seemed hopelessly mired in poverty, Mexico triggered the Third World Debt Crisis, and Brazil suffered under hyperinflation. Since then, these and other developing countries have turned themselves around, while First World nations, battered by crises, depend more than ever on sustained growth in emerging markets. In Turnaround, economist Peter Blair Henry argues that the secret to emerging countries' success (and ours) is discipline -- sustained commitment to a pragmatic growth strategy. With the global economy teetering on the brink, the stakes are higher than ever. And because stakes are so high for all nations, we need less polarization and more focus on facts to answer the fundamental question: which policy reforms, implemented under what circumstances, actually increase economic efficiency? Pushing past the tired debates, Henry shows that the stock market's forecasts of policy impact provide an important complement to traditional measures. Through examples ranging from the drastic income disparity between Barbados and his native Jamaica to the "catch up" economics of China and the taming of inflation in Latin America, Henry shows that in much of the emerging world the policy pendulum now swings toward prudence and self-control. With similar discipline and a dash of humility, he concludes, the First World may yet recover and create long-term prosperity for all its citizens. Bold, rational, and forward-looking, Turnaround offers vital lessons for developed and developing nations in search of stability and growth.
