Book excerpt: Business and life globally has changed dramatically over the last couple of years, and who knew that many people would be in a position that would forced them to quickly adjust without having much time to digest the situation. We believe that there has never been a better time to explore a world of opportunities in business that most would never have dreamed of. The enormous possibilities of today's technological advances have given us unlimited access and a vast platform that connects people, places, and concepts worldwide. By embracing these developments, we expand our capacity to reach and take our rightful place in today's business economy. In this book, we provide an overview of what it means to be in business and stay in business. We shed light on the process, provide examples of successful entrepreneurs, showcase situational case study examples, and share a wealth of informative business advice and support. Whether you allow your abilities, talents, and experiences to undergird you as you test the entrepreneurial waters or dive in headfirst is your choice. This book provides the challenge, tools and insights to assist you along the way. Most people have pondered going into business for themselves at one time or another, but most stop after that point without researching whether the concept they are considering is viable or profitable. Recall the many times you pondered starting your own business or creating opportunities for others by way of your dreams but never followed through. Our challenge to you is to follow through with those ideas and abilities and develop innovative ways to create your own future. The book also explores the benefits of starting your business at this time in the global economy. It helps you dissolve apprehensions that may stop you from decisions that can positively affect you, your family, and others around you. Your options depend largely on your knowledge base, skill set, passion, and goals; these will get you from milestone to milestone even if you consider any of them insignificant. The key is momentum. Challenges are inevitable, but the way you handle them and react (or not react) to them will determine how they impact what you are seeking to achieve. You will find that in going into business for yourself, the biggest challenge is you. This has been one of the main driving forces in striving to help others by way of this collaborative entrepreneurial focussed project. The experience gained from challenges and the clients we have been privileged to assist over the years has helped us to get out of "our own way." The beauty of this project for us, as international consultants, is the knowledge that the growth process in business is a constant, and assisting others along the way is a joy. Take the opportunity now to create your future and tap into the possibilities that are around you.

[Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column.

Book excerpt: It can take less than a minute to get fired. Less than a minute to hear the words that change your life as you’ve known it. You’re stunned, shocked, humiliated—because your career has defined your life and you’ve been blindsided. You’re a company Loyalist with a capital L, and you’ve been sucker punched professionally. How do you even talk about this? Countless books focus on leadership and resilience, but none of them take you through what actually happens to women leaders who are suddenly let go, or who endure untenable circumstances and ultimately fire themselves. None of them take you, step by step, through the emotional process of acceptance and beginning again. And that’s where Involuntary Exit comes in. With advice for every unexpected twist, turn, and emotional trigger, this book is based on author Robin Merle’s experience at the top of billion-dollar organizations, as well as her interviews with accomplished women who were suddenly severed from their organizations and navigated their way back to success. The real-life examples she offers in these pages prove that you’re not alone—and that you, too, will get through this. Whether you’ve been fired or need to move on, Involuntary Exit will help you rediscover your value and emerge as a stronger leader on your own terms.

Download or read book It s Not the how Or the what But the who written by Claudio Fernandez Araoz and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Succeed by mastering the art of the who Why surround yourself with the best? Because it matters--in all aspects of life. In fact, in professional environments, getting people right--what global leadership authority Claudio Fernáaacute;ndez-Aráoz calls "the art of great 'who' decisions"--marks the difference between success and failure. To thrive, you need to identify those with the highest potential, get them in your corner and on your team, and help them grow. Yet surprisingly very few of us are able to meet that challenge. This series of short and engaging essays outlines the obstacles to great "who" decisions and offers solutions to address them in a systematic way. Drawing from several decades of experience in global executive search and talent development, as well as the latest management and psychology research, Fernández-Aráoz offers wisdom and practical advice to improve the choices we make about employees and mentors, business partners and friends, top corporate leaders and even elected officials. The personal stories and cutting-edge studies described in the book will help you understand both your own failings and the external forces commonly at play in staffing decisions. The author shares concrete recommendations on how to select the best people, bring out their strengths, foster collective greatness in the groups you've assembled, and create not only better organizations but also a better society. Starting with the cases of Amazon pioneer Jeff Bezos and Brazilian tycoon Roger Agnelli and continuing with individual and corporate examples from around the world, Fernández-Aráoz paints a vivid picture of what great "who" decisions look like and presents a fresh and commanding argument about why they matter more than ever today.

You're Hired! Job Search Strategies That Work helps you understand the psychology of job-searching and sets you up for envisioning your success. Resumes... It is often said that “resumes are your ticket to job searching success.” Resumes are still the not so secret weapon to landing a job. You won’t win a lottery if you don’t have a ticket and you are unlikely to be invited for a job interview if you don’t have a dynamic, effective resume that features you as the solution to a problem. Your resume is your ticket that leads to being invited for an interview where you can expand upon your value. An effective, eye-catching resume will get you an interview. We show you how to craft and fine-tune a magnetic resume that will attract an employer’s attention. Are you networking? Many job search industry professionals say that networking is the single most effective strategy for landing your next job. You may think you don’t know anyone who can help you with your job search. But you know more people than you think, and they are willing to help you. However, you need to reach out and connect with them first. “It’s not who you know... it’s who knows you know...” You're Hired!

Job Search Strategies That Work provides you with proven tactics to leverage your references to help nail the job for you. Job Interviewing... While looking for a new job and going though hiring interviews can be exciting for some people, for many of us it can be a stressful experience. Is the thought of a job interview keeping you awake at night? You're Hired! Job Search Strategies That Work systematically builds your skills to excel at interview questions and help you sleep at night. From our experience, one of the biggest problems job seekers often face is they feel they are coming from an inferior position and they don't have a lot of personal power. The belief being that the Employer has the superior position and has all the power. Sound familiar? Yes, they have the job and they have the power to give you the job ... or not. What you may not realize is many Hiring Managers are under similar pressures as you, the job seeker. They are accountable to their superiors should the person they hire not work out. They have the pressure of finding the right candidate for the vacancy they need to fill. You're Hired! Job Search Strategies That Work levels the playing field between you and the employer. Your task is to become the only choice. The right choice!

You'll learn the ins and outs of startup execution, management, legal issues, and practical processes throughout the launch and growth phases, and how to avoid the critical missteps that threaten the foundation of your business.

If you're ready to do big things, this book has you covered from the first business card to the eventual exit. Over two thirds of startups are built on creaky foundations, and over two thirds of startup costs go directly toward cleaning up legal and practical problems caused by an incomplete or improper start. This book helps you sidestep the messy and expensive clean up process by giving you the specific actions you need to take right from the very beginning. Understand the critical intricacies of legally incorporating and running a startup Learn which experts you need, and what exactly you need from them Make more intelligent decisions independent of your advisors Avoid the challenges that threaten to derail great young companies The typical American startup costs over $30,000 and requires working with over two dozen professionals and service providers before it even opens for business—and the process is so complex that few founders do it correctly. Their startups errors often go unnoticed until the founder tries to seek outside capital, at which point they can cost thousands of dollars to fix. . . or even completely derail an investment. The Startup Checklist helps you avoid these problems and lay a strong foundation, so you can focus on building your business.

Book excerpt: “You’re fired!” Donald Trump became famous bellowing those words in a make-believe boardroom. In November, tens of millions of Americans want to yell it right back at him. Yet Trump has seemed to almost defy the laws of political physics. Paul Begala, one of America’s greatest political talents, lays out the strategy that will defeat him and send him and his industrial-strength spray-on tan machine back to Mar-a-Lago. In You’re Fired, Paul Begala tells us how Trump uses division to distract from the actual reality of his record. Distraction, he argues, is Trump’s superpower. And this book is Kryptonite. In it, the man who helped elect Bill Clinton and reelect Barack Obama, details: -The special weapons and tactics needed in the unconventional war against this most unconventional politician -How to drive a wedge—or, rather, a pickup truck—between Trump and many of his supporters, especially blue-collar workers and farmers -Where the votes to defeat Trump will come from, and how the Rising American Electorate can catch Trump flat-footed -How Democrats can run on issues ranging from Coronavirus and healthcare to the economy, as well as climate change and Trump’s long-term plan to dominate the federal judiciary -There is one chapter called simply, “This Chapter Will Beat Trump.” Find out why Begala is so confident and what issue he says will sink the Trumptanic Full of memorable advice and Begala’s trademark wit, You’re Fired focuses on the lessons we can learn from the party’s successes and failures—and the crucial tools Democrats need to beat Trump.
