START-UP NATION addresses the trillion dollar question: How is it that Israel— a country of 7.1 million, only 60 years…

old, surrounded by enemies, in a constant state of war since its founding, with no natural resources— produces more start-up companies than large, peaceful, and stable nations like Japan, China, India, Korea, Canada and the UK? With the savvy of foreign policy insiders, Senor and Singer examine the lessons of the country's adversity-driven culture, which flattens hierarchy and elevates informality-all backed up by government policies focused on innovation. In a world where economies as diverse as Ireland, Singapore and Dubai have tried to re-create the "Israel effect", there are entrepreneurial lessons well worth noting. As America reboots its own economy and can-do spirit, there's never been a better time to look at this remarkable and resilient nation for some impressive, surprising clues

A retired Wall Street Journal editor and mother compares two generations of women—boomers and GenXers—to examine how each navigates the…

emotional and professional challenges involved in juggling managerial careers and families.For the first time in American history, a significant number of mothers are heading major corporations, including General Motors, Ulta Beauty, and Best Buy. Over the past several decades, women have made gains throughout executive suites. Yet these “Power Moms” still struggle with balancing their management responsibilities with raising children. Joann S. Lublin draws on the experiences of the nation’s two generations of these successful women to measure how far we’ve come—and how far we still need to go.Lublin combines her own insights with those of eighty-five executive mothers across industries—including experienced public-company chiefs such as Carol Bartz, the first woman to command Autodesk and Yahoo; Hershey’s Michele Buck, DuPont’s Ellen Kullman, ITT’s Denise Ramos, and WW International’s Mindy Grossman—and twenty-five of their grown daughters. Lublin reveals how trailblazer boomers, many now in their sixties, often endured sweeping disapproval for their demanding management careers, even as their own daughters sometimes rejected their choices. While the second wave of executive mothers—all under forty-five—handle working parenthood with less angst, they still lead stressful lives. Power Moms provides lessons and advice to help today’s professional women, their families, and their employers navigate this challenging terrain.  Lublin looks at the trade-offs mothers are too often forced to make between work and family and the root causes, including the dearth of large-scale paid parental leave and other family-friendly policies. While it celebrates the gains women have made, Power Moms makes clear how much more must be done to make being a working mother easier.

siete hábitos, el amor y la familia. Esta poderosa colección de pensamientos es un tributo a la luminaria que todos extrañaremos. Le enseño a la gente cómo tratarme a través de los límites que establezco. Sea una luz, no un juez. Sea un modelo, no un crítico. No se deje seducir por su autobiografía. La gente suele transformarse según la forma en la que se le trate o en lo que se piense de ella. La humildad es la mayor de las virtudes, pues de ella provienen todas las demás. Para conservar la confianza de los que están presentes, sea leal a quienes están ausentes. El problema radica en la forma en la que percibimos el problema.

Stellar Management Teams

Management teams at all levels, and individual team members in particular, are often disengaged and disconnected from the management function…

itself. Statements such as, "we lack common goals or they are unclear", "I have no influence", "I am not listened to nor taken into account", and "I do not feel valued – actually, nobody does", are commonplace. The authors argue this is because we have been entrenched in an era of guru leadership but that it must come to an end if our management teams are to rise to the top. An individual is not capable of controlling the complicated system of an organization, with its countless variables, especially in conjunction with the rapid change in both the economy and market forces, which are unpredictable and uncontrollable. No matter how talented the individual, no one person is in a position to manage this complex system alone – not even a guru leader.  The authors contend that what is needed now are resilient trendsetters who will bring about a new era of top-performing teams that together form a "collective guru", which they refer to as a Stellar Management Team.  In this book, the reader undertakes a metaphorical journey to the stars, which symbolizes top-level interaction and collaboration. The journey is the development from an ordinary management team into a Stellar Management Team, which elevates its operation up to a new level of performance and success.

The longtime chief marketing officer for Chick-fil-A tells the inside story of how the company turned prevailing theories of fast-food…

marketing upside down and built one of the most successful and beloved brands in America.During his thirty-four-year tenure at Chick-fil-A, Steve Robinson was integrally involved in the company’s growth--from 184 stores and $100 million in annual sales in 1981 to over 2,100 stores and over $6.8 billion in annual sales in 2015--and was a first-hand witness to its evolution as an indelible global brand. In Covert Cows and Chick-fil-A, Robinson shares behind-the-scenes accounts of key moments, including the creation of the Chick-fil-A corporate purpose and the formation and management of the now-iconic "Eat Mor Chikin" cow campaign. Drawing on his personal interactions with the gifted team of company leaders, restaurant operators, and the company's founder, Truett Cathy, Robinson explains the important traits that built the company's culture and sustained it through recession and many other challenges. He also reveals how every aspect of the company's approach reflects an unwavering dedication to Christian values and to the individual customer experience. Written with disarming candor and revealing storytelling, Covert Cows and Chick-fil-A is the never-before-told story of a great American success.

Coming Back offers clear advice, including:• STOP PLAYING THE VICTIM, even if you are one.• BRAND YOURSELF AS A CHANGE DRIVER who studies trends and studies independently so you are diving into change, not reacting to it.• CALL IN THE CHITS.

Fawn Germer, one of the nation’s most popular leadership experts and global motivational speakers, has personally interviewed more than three hundred CEOs, senior executives, professors, lawyers, organizational experts, industry leaders, and professionals. The result is a tactical, tough-love call to action: to learn, re-tool, connect, grow, and get ready to work again.

Pero en cada mujer existe una fuerza fundamental y poderosa que muchas veces preferimos ignorar. Es valiente, no se anda con paños calientes, no se deja pisar... Toda mujer lleva una «cabrona» dentro, conseguir que emerja para ayudarnos a vivir mejor es solo cuestión de que aprendamos a escucharla y seamos capaces de superar nuestros miedos. Con humor e ingenio, Elizabeth Hilts nos ofrece en este libro los consejos básicos para que, de una vez por todas, la cabrona tome el mando. La crítica ha dicho...«Soy enérgica, ambiciosa y sé exactamente lo que quiero. Si eso me convierte en una cabrona, pues vale.»Madonna
