Without great ideas, no organization can stay afloat, much less flourish. Managers and top executives are constantly struggling to come up with big ones – creative marketing strategies, ingenious cost-cutting schemes and other corporate solutions that will save time and money and improve productivity. But what few of them realize is that right under their noses is a virtually limitless source of valuable ideas – ideas that can revolutionize their company and help bring substantial and sustainable competitive advantage. These great ideas come, surprisingly, from the lowest point of the corporate food chain – from the front-line employees who do the “dirty” work and who therefore see a lot of problems and opportunities that their managers do not.

Employee ideas are a lot more valuable than most managers think. More importantly, they can be had virtually for free, if you know how. This book teaches the most effective methods for tapping this “hidden” resource, based on extensive research in more than 300 organizations around the world. It offers precise techniques for setting up an idea management system that can empower your people, transform your organization and make you a much more effective leader.

A logo design may be updated with every passing trend, but core values and practices are timeless and transcend the organization.

Here is a funny, frank, and refreshing book on how to not only survive but succeed in today’s new economy – or at least get what you want out of life and work while stepping on as few people as possible. This one tackles the big issues like what kind of person do you really want to be (a bastard? there are many of them in business) – are you living for the future or are you stuck in an old economy dinosaur company? Guy Browning says exactly what nobody else dares to say about real-life/work issues, and that’s why it’s so fresh.

How do you learn to really listen, relax, work, and be happy?

You have to invest in the right people — people who put their competencies and work ethics at optimal levels — in order to lead your business to victory. Like a well-oiled machine, these people contribute to the operation and to the eventual success of your business. As a matter of fact, these are the very people who keep you in business.

However, employees today are seeking better opportunities to career growth and development. They seek better opportunities for skills advancement and sometimes higher wages and benefits.

If you think you are losing the employees who keep your business working, then this is the book for you. This book, “Keeping the People Who Keep You in Business,” will give you tips and ways on how to hold on to the primary asset of your business — your workforce.

The business literature over the years has been bombarded with a good number of paradigms—some rudimentary and others self-aggrandizing—that more often than not stringently tell management what to do in order to make progress. Though theories have by far aided leaders and corporate executives on their way to operational success, most books have not conscientiously explored and disentangled the complex process of execution.   

It is at this point that Bob Prosen slots in his brilliant opus, Kiss Theory Good Bye, where he provides a clear-cut how-to and step-by-step instructions for obtaining unprecedented results in the organization. By utilizing proven tools and actions that, when appropriately employed, facilitate growth and profitability, the author propels companies to hit their targets and get ahead in the most practicable, trouble-free kind of way. This book is a ground-breaking book in that it allows the reader easy comprehension and application of the managerial mantra, Kiss Theory Good By. The book demonstrates that there is purpose in going back to the basics, and that which appeared all too trivial, will in fact work no matter at what stage the company finds itself in.

Dr. Paul B. Farrell describes the simple no-hassle, low stress, time-saving way of successful investing in lazy portfolios that work in the background allowing most people to do more important things. This book tells the reader why he does not need a stockbroker or even a financial planner; that there is the couch potato type no-brainer easy to understand investment techniques; why the reading investor never have to pay a brokerage commission again; how the reader can use as few as two mutual funds to manage the reader’s investments and virtually forget it; and how to adjust the reader’s investments once a year in less time than it takes to microwave a potato.

How would you react if you were told by your top boss that you have a problem and that problem is you – only you don't know how on earth you can be THE problem? Sounds confusing, doesn't it? Well, in this simple, practical, enlightening, maybe even lifechanging business book from the Arbringer Institute, you'll find that at the center of most organizational problems is the human frailty of Self-Deception.

With its easy-to-read narrative style and analogy by common life examples, you'll find the concepts and principles adaptable to any work environment. Sometimes, you'll hardly feel that you're reading a business book because the subject is deeply rooted on how you behave as an individual, as a person and thus, may also be applied to your everyday life.

Nowadays, leadership is not limited to the level of the senior managers. At every level in the career ladder, employees are expected to work towards this particular goal - of becoming a leader in the future.

In order to properly do this, it is important to identify certain things with regard to the employees and the organization as a whole.

There is no hard and fast training program to create and mold future leaders. Each organization and each employee has their own individual requirements. Development programs must be tweaked to tailor to the differing needs.

Whether an organization has an existing development program or is planning to develop a new one from scratch, these basic building blocks will serve as tools in order to come up with an effective curriculum.

Leadership: Your Compass for Success was written to help novice and experienced leaders alike become better and more effective in what they do. This book shares with them leadership strategies and techniques which will prove very useful in their quest for answers to their own leadership predicaments. Moreover, by applying these strategies and techniques, they will be in an excellent position to lead their teams through success, failures, and everything in between.

There is a growing need to develop leaders within many corporations.  The demand for leaders greatly outpaces the supply.  With this reality comes an even greater challenge-- to bring in a “new blood” for fresh ideas or to just maximize the expertise of the “home grown” talents.

This book sheds light into this concern by introducing the leadership pipeline model— the series of levels leaders go through in every organization. Understanding its nature and unclogging these particular pipelines greatly help organizations find and develop people inside the company to become the future leaders of the corporation. 

Every leader has, at one time or another, made these four fatal assumptions:

1. Assuming constituents have understood the message
2. Assuming constituents agree to the message
3. Assuming constituents care about the message
4. Assuming constituents will act accordingly

We are only human, and leaders sometimes assume the message has gotten through and communication has taken place. More often than not, there is a breakdown. Whether others may tailor the message to suit their own personal agendas or are feeling disconnected, as almost half of working Americans feel towards their company or organization, this book focuses on how individual leaders can achieve results through big ideas involving creating better strategic alignment, greater credibility, and clarity.

Owning your own business is one of the surest ways to establish financial security for you and your family. Whether you have been in business for a long time or not, it pays to know your rights as a businessperson, as well as the legal environment of business.
