Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expert in business turnaround shares his inspiring approach to problem-solving: “A fascinating read” (Mitt Romney). Visionary leader Greg Brenneman believes that true business success and personal fulfillment are two sides of the same coin. The techniques that will grow your business will also help you achieve a rich, purposeful, and integrated life. Here, Brenneman takes what he’s learned from turning around or tuning up many businesses—including Continental Airlines and Burger King—and distills it into a simple, clear, five-step roadmap that anyone can follow. He teaches you how to: *prepare a succinct Go Forward plan *build a fortress balance sheet *grow your sales and profits *choose all-star servant leaders *empower your team For more than thirty years, Brenneman has seen these steps foster dramatic results in a variety of business environments. But he also came to realize that he could apply these same principles to improve his life and build a lasting moral legacy. He found he could make better decisions by carefully taking the most important facets of his life—faith, family, friendship, fitness, and finance—into consideration. Brenneman’s inspiring examples, from both his business and his life, demonstrate the astounding effects these steps can have when you apply them—right away and all at once.

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [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.

Download or read book Adaptive Business Continuity A New Approach written by David Lindstedt Ph.D., PMP, CBCP and published by Rothstein Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-05 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you begun to question traditional best practices in business continuity (BC)? Do you seem to be concentrating on documentation rather than preparedness? Compliance rather than recoverability? Do your efforts provide true business value? If you have these concerns, David Lindstedt and Mark Armour offer a solution in Adaptive Business Continuity: A New Approach. This ground-breaking new book provides a streamlined, realistic methodology to change BC dramatically. After years of working with the traditional practices of business continuity (BC) – in project management, higher education, contingency planning, and disaster recovery – David Lindstedt and Mark Armour identified unworkable areas in many core practices of traditional BC. To address these issues, they created nine Adaptive BC principles, the foundation of this book: Deliver continuous value. Document only for mnemonics. Engage at many levels within the organization. Exercise for improvement, not for testing. Learn the business. Measure and benchmark. Obtain incremental direction from leadership. Omit the risk assessment and business impact analysis. Prepare for effects, not causes. Adaptive Business Continuity: A New Approach uses the analogy of rebuilding a house. After the initial design, the first step is to identify and remove all the things not needed in the new house. Thus, the first chapter is “Demolition” – not to get rid of the entire BC enterprise, but to remove certain BC activities and products to provide the space to install something new. The stages continue through foundation, framework, and finishing. Finally, the last chapter is “Dwelling,” permitting you a glimpse of what it might be like to live in this new home that has been created. Through a wealth of examples, diagrams, and real-world case studies, Lindstedt and Armour show you how you can execute the Adaptive BC framework in your own organization. You will: Recognize specific practices in traditional BC that may be problematic, outdated, or ineffective. Identify specific activities that you may wish to eliminate from your practice. Learn the capability and constraint model of recoverability. Understand how Adaptive BC can be effective in organizations with vastly different cultures and program maturity levels. See how to take the steps to implement Adaptive BC in your own organization. Think through some typical challenges and opportunities that may arise as you implement an Adaptive BC approach.

Download or read book Good to Great written by Jim Collins and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2001-10-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Challenge Built to Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the verybeginning. But what about the company that is not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness? The Study For years, this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins. Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? And if so, what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great? The Standards Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years. How great? After the leap, the good-to-great companies generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market by an average of seven times in fifteen years, better than twice the results delivered by a composite index of the world's greatest companies, including Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric, and Merck. The Comparisons The research team contrasted the good-to-great companies with a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to make the leap from good to great. What was different? Why did one set of companies become truly great performers while the other set remained only good? Over five years, the team analyzed the histories of all twenty-eight companies in the study. After sifting through mountains of data and thousands of pages of interviews, Collins and his crew discovered the key determinants of greatness -- why some companies make the leap and others don't. The Findings The findings of the Good to Great study will surprise many readers and shed light on virtually every area of management strategy and practice. The findings include: Level 5 Leaders: The research team was shocked to discover the type of leadership required to achieve greatness. The Hedgehog Concept (Simplicity within the Three Circles): To go from good to great requires transcending the curse of competence. A Culture of Discipline: When you combine a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship, you get the magical alchemy of great results. Technology Accelerators: Good-to-great companies think differently about the role of technology. The Flywheel and the Doom Loop: Those who launch radical change programs and wrenching restructurings will almost certainly fail to make the leap. “Some of the key concepts discerned in the study,” comments Jim Collins, "fly in the face of our modern business culture and will, quite frankly, upset some people.” Perhaps, but who can afford to ignore these findings?

Download or read book Adding Insight To Injury written by Dr. Jamie Bovay and published by Jamie Bovay. This book was released on 2020-06-10 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if everything you thought you knew about injury recovery was wrong? If you have ever been injured, you know that there is an overload of information out there, making it very difficult to decide on a path to recovery. With such a range of diverse and, many times, conflicting information out there, how do you know if you are making the best decisions for your health? If you have ever suffered from back, knee, shoulder, neck, foot and ankle, or other sports injury problems but don’t know what to do about it, this book is for you. Stop wasting any more time and get clarity now. This book focuses on long-term solutions for living a more active and healthy life post-injury, without suggesting unhealthy or unnecessary options such as painkillers, injections, or surgeries. Too many people continue to put off taking care of their health, hoping their pain will “go away soon” or saying that it’s “just a part of getting older.” All the while, these same people become more and more frustrated that they can’t do what they used to be able to or what they would like or need to do in their current everyday life. If you are someone who values your health and wants to continue---or begin---living an active lifestyle, then this book will be your guide, leading you from pain and injury to recovery. Here is some of what you’ll learn in this book: · The false beliefs about injury recovery that could be holding you back and how to avoid making costly mistakes (especially if you already have pain or stiffness) in your recovery journey · Why your pain may not be improving when it should be · What’s needed to recover from injuries in each body region (back, knee, shoulder, neck, foot/ankle, etc.) · How you can stay active with your favorite sport or exercise while improving your pain · How to approach mobility-training exercises to get the most benefit for rehab versus for performance · Steps and advice to improve your overall mental wellness and nutrition How to choose a quality healthcare provider who best fits your needs. Want to truly understand the principles that guide injury recovery? Adding Insight To Injury lays out a blueprint for understanding all of the decisions needed in the rehabilitation process. This book lays out safe and effective approaches for rehabilitating injuries and actionable steps for returning to an active life. With the information in this book, you can make a better, more well-informed decision about your health, allowing you to decide what you need to do to make improvements. Unsure how to put everything together into a program that addresses your individual needs? Applying the principles in this book will allow you to devise a plan to improve your pain, injury, mobility, strength, and return to whatever you need to do. Quality movement is a unique characteristic that helps define us as human beings. But, if we can’t move the way we deserve, it can interrupt our lives. Many times, the causes of pain, stiffness, and poor movement may be difficult to spot on your own. This book gives you the tools to identify and overcome the problems associated with ineffective injury recovery. Whether you are a professional athlete, weekend warrior, someone who just occasionally exercises, or simply want to move and live your life without physical restrictions or impairments, this one-of-a-kind guide will teach you how to take control of the injury recovery process and improve your life. Some of the other topics covered include: · Why letting your injury “rest” is a bad idea · Why stretching and exercise are not likely going to help your pain · When the theory of “no pain, no gain” isn’t something you should follow · The difference between flexibility and mobility and why it matters with injury recovery · Understanding why where you hurt (the victim) isn’t necessarily where the pain is coming from (the culprit) · What is involved in treating common problems like back pain, shoulder and neck pain, knee pain, hip pain, foot and ankle pain, and sports injuries · How to approach strength, flexibility, mobility, and exercise to prevent and rehabilitate common injuries · How to modify and perform cross-training while you are injured · Why beds, pillows, shoes, braces or other items likely won’t help you alleviate your pain, in the long run · Pain and injury timelines as well as rehabilitation guidelines and timeframes · How posture affects your pain · Why you may not have tight hamstrings or hip flexors even though they feel “tight” · What is needed to get rid of your pain and how to fix the bad habits that are slowing your injury recovery · The techniques to try with your workouts or exercise to help with injury preventions · The 53 most frequently asked questions and detailed answers about pain, injuries, and injury recovery This comprehensive guide is meant to be the answer to all of the injury recovery questions you have and give you information needed during the recovery process. Following the advice in this book will help lead you to a happier, more active lifestyle for years to come. About The Author: Dr. Jamie Bovay is one of Colorado’s leading physical therapists and founder of KinetikChain Denver, a clinic specializing in helping active adults avoid the frustrations of pain and injury so they can live their active lifestyles and get back to everything they want, need, and love to do.
