Download or read book The Business of Aspiration written by Ana Andjelic and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Business of Aspiration is about how consumers' shifting status symbols affect business and brand strategy. These changing status symbols, like taste, aesthetic innovation, curation or environmentalism create the modern aspirational economy. In the traditional economy, consumers signaled their status through collecting commodities, Instagram followers, airline miles, and busy back-to-back schedules. By contrast, in the aspirational economy, consumers increasingly convey status through collecting knowledge, taste, micro-communities, and influence. This new capital changes the way businesses and entire markets operate, and yet the modern aspirational economy is still an under-explored area in business and culture. The Business of Aspiration changes that. In this book, marketers will find examples, analyses and tools on how brands can successfully grow in the modern aspirational economy. The Business of Aspiration answers questions like, "what is good for my brand long-term?", "how is this business decision going to impact our culture?" or "what are the main objectives of our growth?" Marketers will learn to shift their brand narrative and competitive strategy, to create and distribute new brand symbols, and to ensure that their brand’s products and services create both monetary and social value.

Download or read book Dare to Lead written by Brené Brown and published by Random House. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Brené Brown has taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong, and brave the wilderness. Now, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers, and culture shifters, she’s showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead. Don’t miss the five-part HBO Max docuseries Brené Brown: Atlas of the Heart! NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BLOOMBERG Leadership is not about titles, status, and wielding power. A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for recognizing the potential in people and ideas, and has the courage to develop that potential. When we dare to lead, we don’t pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don’t see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it with others. We don’t avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into vulnerability when it’s necessary to do good work. But daring leadership in a culture defined by scarcity, fear, and uncertainty requires skill-building around traits that are deeply and uniquely human. The irony is that we’re choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the exact same time as we’re scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines and AI can’t do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection, and courage, to start. Four-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Brené Brown has spent the past two decades studying the emotions and experiences that give meaning to our lives, and the past seven years working with transformative leaders and teams spanning the globe. She found that leaders in organizations ranging from small entrepreneurial startups and family-owned businesses to nonprofits, civic organizations, and Fortune 50 companies all ask the same question: How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders, and how do you embed the value of courage in your culture? In this new book, Brown uses research, stories, and examples to answer these questions in the no-BS style that millions of readers have come to expect and love. Brown writes, “One of the most important findings of my career is that daring leadership is a collection of four skill sets that are 100 percent teachable, observable, and measurable. It’s learning and unlearning that requires brave work, tough conversations, and showing up with your whole heart. Easy? No. Because choosing courage over comfort is not always our default. Worth it? Always. We want to be brave with our lives and our work. It’s why we’re here.” Whether you’ve read Daring Greatly and Rising Strong or you’re new to Brené Brown’s work, this book is for anyone who wants to step up and into brave leadership.

Download or read book Winning Wizard s Leadership Axioms for Career Progression and Everyday Living written by William P. Fisher, Ph.D. and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2016-06-30 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept and practice of leadership is widely talked about, written about, studied, researched, discussed (and perhaps cussed), admired, imitated, envied, and often disregarded, but it is still an enigma in the human realm. We know it when we see it but we can’t adequately define it or “package” it. Still, there are some things we can say about leadership that are veritable truths, which we call “axioms” that can help us focus on the subject so we can become better leaders. Winning Wizard’s Leadership Axioms for Career Progression and Everyday Living is a compendium of 417 such axioms that address the skills, attributes, values, traits, and qualities of current and aspirational leaders. “Winning Wizard” is a retired chief executive officer of a major international organization who has been granted emeritus status, and has been given an office on the top floor Stratospheric Lounge, so he is available to organizational constituents when called upon. Redael is a lower level manager in the organization who aspires to top management and a leadership position not only in the firm, but in the industry and the world community. Redael realizes “Winning Wizard” can be a valuable mentor, and meets with the sage to get some sound advice and guidance to help scale the organization’s mountain to its apex. Leadership axioms include: • Leaders know it’s not who you are that’s important, but it’s what you do that’s most important! • Leaders conceive of themselves as leaders, carry themselves as leaders, and conduct themselves as leaders. • Leaders prefer workhorses to show horses. The insights and provocative thoughts compiled in this book will make you a (better) leader if you take them to heart.

When Martin G. Moore was asked to rescue a leading energy corporation from ever-increasing debt and a lack of executive accountability, he faced an uphill battle. Not only had he never before stepped into the role of CEO; he also had no experience in the rapidly evolving energy sector. Relying on the practical leadership principles he had honed throughout his thirty-three-year career, he overhauled the company’s culture, redefined its leadership capability, and increased earnings by a compound annual growth rate of 125 percent. In No Bullsh!t Leadership, Moore outlines these proven leadership principles in a clear, direct way. He sweeps away the mystical fog surrounding leadership today and lays out the essential steps for success. Moore combines this tangible advice with honest, real-world examples from his own career to provide a no-nonsense look at the skills a true leader possesses. Moore’s principles for no bullshit leadership focus on: · Creating value by focusing only on the things that matter most · Facing conflict, adversity, and ambiguity with decisiveness and confidence · Setting uncompromising standards for behavior and performance · Selecting and developing great people · Making those people accountable, and empowering them to do their best · Setting simple, value-driven goals and communicating them relentlessly Though the steps aren’t easy, they are guaranteed, if implemented, to lift your leadership—and your organization—to a higher level. Wherever you are in your career, No Bullsh!t Leadership will help you develop the skills and form the habits needed to become a no bullshit leader.

Download or read book The Leadership Quotient written by Tony Marolt and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are already a leader, even if you don't yet know it. You can become a great leader, which the world desperately needs - leaders with courage, compassion, and the ability to raise each unique individual to their highest levels of performance. Leadership is a learned series of skills and behaviors; however, the path to becoming a great leader first begins with the acknowledgment that you are one, followed by your strong desire and commitment to be a great one. The leadership quotient is built on the premise and promise that everyone is a leader and that only by increasing the degree of mastery in all four critical areas can an individual transition from ordinary or mediocre into the more aspirational, urgently needed realm of truly great leaders. This practical guide to leadership is filled with tools and real-world examples that you can quickly add to your repertoire and immediately apply within your organization. These tools can be leveraged by every reader, from those who have never led before to those who have been leading for years. The Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu captured the essence of the leadership quotient principles in his quote, which ends with the line, "But of a good leader, who talks little, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will all say, We did this ourselves." If you aspire to become that kind of leader, to add tools to your belt that position you to lead extremely well, then this book and those tools are your path to achieve that aspiration.
