Download or read book The Heart of Business written by Hubert Joly and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Wall Street Journal Bestseller Named a Financial Times top title How to unleash "human magic" and achieve improbable results. Hubert Joly, former CEO of Best Buy and orchestrator of the retailer's spectacular turnaround, unveils his personal playbook for achieving extraordinary outcomes by putting people and purpose at the heart of business. Back in 2012, "Everyone thought we were going to die," says Joly. Eight years later, Best Buy was transformed as Joly and his team rebuilt the company into one of the nation's favorite employers, vastly increased customer satisfaction, and dramatically grew Best Buy's stock price. Joly and his team also succeeded in making Best Buy a leader in sustainability and innovation. In The Heart of Business, Joly shares the philosophy behind the resurgence of Best Buy: pursue a noble purpose, put people at the center of the business, create an environment where every employee can blossom, and treat profit as an outcome, not the goal. This approach is easy to understand, but putting it into practice is not so easy. It requires radically rethinking how we view work, how we define companies, how we motivate, and how we lead. In this book Joly shares memorable stories, lessons, and practical advice, all drawn from his own personal transformation from a hard-charging McKinsey consultant to a leader who believes in human magic. The Heart of Business is a timely guide for leaders ready to abandon old paradigms and lead with purpose and humanity. It shows how we can reinvent capitalism so that it contributes to a sustainable future.

Download or read book Unholy Business written by Nina Burleigh and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2008-10-08 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2002, an ancient limestone box called the James Ossuary was trumpeted on the world's front pages as the first material evidence of the existence of Jesus Christ. Today it is exhibit number one in a forgery trial involving millions of dollars worth of high-end, Biblical era relics, some of which literally re-wrote Near Eastern history and which could lead to the incarceration of some very wealthy men and embarrass major international institutions, including the British Museum and Sotheby's. Set in Israel, with its 30,000 archaeological digs crammed with biblical-era artifacts, and full of colorful characters—scholars, evangelicals, detectives, and millionaire collectors—Unholy Business tells the incredibly story of what the Israeli authorities have called "the fraud of the century." It takes readers into the murky world of Holy Land relic dealing, from the back alleys of Jerusalem's Old City to New York's Fifth Avenue, and reveals biblical archaeology as it is pulled apart by religious believers on one side and scientists on the other.

Download or read book Business As a Holy Calling written by Tim Dearborn and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-12-23 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business can be as much Christian ministry as preaching, teaching Sunday School, or volunteering in a food bank. Tragically, the Church has tended to value businessperson's volunteer time more than their professional life. This workbook guides a discussion between businesspersons and their pastors to explore God's purposes for business. It is designed for use by individuals and small groups, including personal reflection and group discussion questions. It will contribute to a new reformation in our understanding of lay ministry--not lay persons volunteering in church work--but lay persons participating in the coming of God's kingdom in every aspect of life. Business isn't "automatically" a "holy calling." There is a "question mark" attached to the phrase. It can become one when God's multiple purposes in addition to profit and making an income are fulfilled. Businesspersons can work with joy and fulfillment when they know that their work is contributing to other people and all of creation flourishing.

Download or read book Doing Business with God written by Apostle Joshua Selman and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-09 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no believer who sits down knowing what God has ordained for your life and watch the enemies play game with your life and you sit down hoping that things will change. No sir! You have to engage with understanding until that which is yours comes to you. The bible says "right from the days of John the Baptist and until now, the kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent take it by force". I am passionate about results; I never associate with anything that has no capacity to produce results. I am a result-driven person, this is a result-driven ministry; the fierceness of life does not allow for stories and drama. People wants real results in their lives and let me tell you this; no matter what you claim to be doing, if it doesn't translate to genuine result, you are only wasting people's time. John 15:8 "Herein is our father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so, shall ye be my disciples". When your results are notable beyond arguments, sentiments, that is when you will prove that you have sat down under his mentorship and tutelage. Your result validates the efficacy of the teaching ministry of the Holy Spirit. When our lives are barren of certain dimensions of results, it is an indictment on the person and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Results that defile background, the expectation of nay-sayers, and men and women who look forward for your failures and their self-fulfilling prophecy, but you must contend for it. I have been thinking about it throughout the week, I have been praying that God, there are dimensions that we must enter before the end of this year. The word of God will not go void, when he speaks, it is within his power to make it happen. It has always been with partnership; that the heaven will partner with the earth for realities to be established here. My assignment is therefore to scan through and make sure we tie every loose end that can sabotage this prophecy in finding expression, my job is to find and indoctrinate us with the truths that are capable of bringing results. Results that are predictable, consistent, results that have nothing to do with the wishes of men.Read This Book and be Blessed

Download or read book Martin Buber on Myth RLE Myth written by S. Daniel Breslauer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-05 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1990, summarizes and evaluates the contribution of Martin Buber as a theorist of myth. Buber provides explicit guidelines for understanding and evaluating myths. He describes reality as twofold: people live either in a world of things, to which they relate as a subject controlling its objects, or in a world of self-conscious others, with whom one relates as fellow subjects. Human beings require both types of reality, but also a means of moving from one to the other. Buber understands myths as one such means by which people pass from I-It reality to I-You meeting. In studying myths, he focuses on the myths in the traditions he knows best, but offers his advice and interpretation of mythology and scholarship about mythology generally.
