Next Level or Why Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes and How to Correct Them

Next Level: What Insiders Know About Executive Success

Author: Scott Eblin

Much as Good to Great described what separates top companies from the rest, The Next Level shows new, current, and future executives what differentiates success and failure at the executive level. Every day, high performers are tapped to be executives and then left alone to figure out how to function successfully in their new role. When this happens, most new executives rely on strengths that served them well earlier in their careers. As executive coach Scott Eblin explains, this is why 40 percent of them fail. Moving successfully to the executive level requires knowing which behaviors and beliefs to drop, as well as which new ones to pick up. Like having a personal executive coach, this confidence-building book outlines a program for success for new and future executives and offers frank advice from accomplished senior executives on what to do and to avoid.

Advice for the Budding CEO From Fellow Insiders
Every executive had to start somewhere—that first big promotion that bumped them to senior management. The great ones knew what to bring with them to their new position and what to leave behind. This is the premise of The Next Level: What Insiders Know About Executive Success by Scott Eblin, who describes himself as a "former Fortune 500 HR executive."

The book is divided into three main sections. The Foundations of Personal Presence covers topics such as maintaining confidence, sustaining your energy level and communicating effectively. The Foundations of Team Presence looks at effective delegation and issues of accountability. The Foundations of Organizational Presence offers advice on maintaining the proper perspective and presence within the organization.

All That You Should Leave Behind
Each of the three sections is further broken down into lessons presented according to what you should "pick up" and what you should "let go."

One chapter, for instance, advocates that the reader "pick up looking left and right as you lead" and "let go of looking primarily up and down as you lead." The goal, according to the author, is to create relationships with your peers and avoid what he refers to as "vertical tunnel vision," the tendency to only pay attention to what those above you and below you are doing.

Another chapter recommends that one "pick up defining what to do" and "let go of telling how to do it." This can be a particularly tall order for most managers. After all, promotions are generally given to people who excel at what they do. It can be tempting, therefore, to view your methods as the best and/or only way to accomplish a task. Eblin suggests, however, that the best leaders guide their employees by establishing clear and firm guidelines, then allowing them to do the work their own way.

Each chapter ends with 10 tips for putting Eblin's advice into play. The tips range from practical observations to sage mantras. "Avoid the unintended consequences that stem from 'thinking out loud' in front of subordinates," the author advises at the end of his chapter on taking a "big footprint view" of your role. The chapter on accountability includes the tip, "Learn to derive satisfaction from the fact that the work got done, not that you did it."

The Right Tools for the Right Job
Perhaps the most useful tools, however, are the two appendices included at the end of the book. The first is a guide to creating an Executive Success Plan or "ESP." Eblin recommends the plan be used with the help of an "executive coach," but provides clear instructions for those who want to do it themselves.

He lists the principles discussed in the book and encourages readers to seek input from colleagues about how they fare in each area. Readers are then advised to analyze the results, identify areas for improvement and seek ongoing advice from the "feedback team."

Appendix B is the Situation Solutions Guide. This table contains various dilemmas common among those navigating new positions referenced against the corresponding chapter containing the appropriate advice.

Overall, Eblin's book provides the advice that no one ever thinks to give you on taking the leap to the next level. And it's good advice, from experienced executives, that's useable today.

Why We Like This Book
The Next Level is full of practical advice that is clearly stated. It is designed to be referred to repeatedly, and Eblin's use of lists and tables helps to ensure that the reader can quickly find the answers they are looking for. This book is excellent for individuals looking to make it to the next level, as well as executive coaches that want to use it as a reference tool with clients.

Why Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes and How to Correct Them: Lessons From the New Science of Behavioral Economics

Author: Gary Belsky

Why do so many otherwise smart people make foolish financial choices? Why do investors sell stocks just before they skyrocket -- and cling to others as they plummer? Why do shoppers overspend when using credit cards rather than cash? What do our habits of tipping or buying lottery tickets indicate about our relationship with money?

In this fascinating investigation of the ways we spend, invest, save, borrow, and waste money, Gary Belsky and Thomas Gilovich reveal the psychological causes -- the patterns of thinking and decision making -- of irrational behavior. Most important, they focus on the decisions we make every day and, using entertaining examples, provide invaluable tips on avoiding the financial faux pas that can cost thousands of dollars each year.

Brag!: The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn Without Blowing It

Author: Peggy Klaus

In today's competitive business world, bragging is a necessity -- not a choice! Remaining quiet about yourself or, worse, downplaying your successes leads to being underappreciated, or even allowing others to take credit for your achievements. When done with grace and style, bragging promotes your best asset -- you! Now a top business coach teaches you to artfully communicate your talents and accomplishments without feeling or sounding like a walking billboard. You'll gain the motivation and skills that lead to gem assignments, raises, promotions, and stronger professional relationships. And you'll enjoy tooting your own horn in a way that is sincere, feels comfortable, and doesn't turn off those you're trying to impress. Filled with self-promotion dilemmas and solutions for both your professional and personal life, and written for everyone from telecommuters to those who are between jobs, BRAG! shows you how to put your best foot forward -- while keeping it out of your mouth!

Publishers Weekly

"Using the same techniques that have turned thousands of professionals and executives into skillful self-promoters," Klaus, a Fortune 500 communication consultant, teaches how to make an impact in today's unstable business market by becoming "a master of artful bragging." Klaus's persuasive writing style and authentic tone combined with real-life anecdotes culled from her 10 years conducting training seminars show off the transformative effect successful bragging can have on a career (including the author's own), while deflating any fears readers may have of coming off as phony, arrogant or obnoxious. Creating a "bragalogue"(or short, enthusiastic, continually updated story showcasing strengths and accomplishments) that you can deliver comfortably and sincerely is key to "planting seeds for the future" or standing out in interviews, performance reviews or networking situations. Sample conversations, self-evaluation surveys, advice on avoiding common bragging pitfalls, hints on body language and concrete tips for stay-at-home moms, freelancers, retirees and recent college grads lend a hands-on feel to this valuable business primer.

The Craftsman or Value Investing

The Craftsman

Author: Richard Sennett

Defining craftsmanship far more broadly than “skilled manual labor,” Richard Sennett maintains that the computer programmer, the doctor, the artist, and even the parent and citizen engage in a craftsman’s work. Craftsmanship names the basic human impulse to do a job well for its own sake, says the author, and good craftsmanship involves developing skills and focusing on the work rather than ourselves. In this thought-provoking book, one of our most distinguished public intellectuals explores the work of craftsmen past and present, identifies deep connections between material consciousness and ethical values, and challenges received ideas about what constitutes good work in today’s world.

 

The Craftsman engages the many dimensions of skill—from the technical demands to the obsessive energy required to do good work. Craftsmanship leads Sennett across time and space, from ancient Roman brickmakers to Renaissance goldsmiths to the printing presses of Enlightenment Paris and the factories of industrial London; in the modern world he explores what experiences of good work are shared by computer programmers, nurses and doctors, musicians, glassblowers, and cooks. Unique in the scope of his thinking, Sennett expands previous notions of crafts and craftsmen and apprises us of the surprising extent to which we can learn about ourselves through the labor of making physical things.

The New York Times - Lewis Hyde

Richard Sennett's "guiding intuition" in The Craftsman is that "making is thinking"…Sennett's book gathers case after case in which we see how the work of the hand can inform the work of the mind. Moreover, it is through his insistence that thought arises in relation to craft that Sennett comes to one of his more intriguing interventions, a reimagining of the Enlightenment in terms not of ideas but of how craftsmen learned to work. "The hand is the window on to the mind," Immanuel Kant wrote, and Sennett asks that we not pass through that window until we have adequately studied the hand.

Value Investing: From Graham to Buffett and Beyond

Author: Bruce C N Greenwald

From the "guru to Wall Street's gurus" comes the fundamental techniques of value investing and their applications Bruce Greenwald is one of the leading authorities on value investing. Some of the savviest people on Wall Street have taken his Columbia Business School executive education course on the subject. Now this dynamic and popular teacher, with some colleagues, reveals the fundamental principles of value investing, the one investment technique that has proven itself consistently over time. After covering general techniques of value investing, the book proceeds to illustrate their applications through profiles of Warren Buffett, Michael Price, Mario Gabellio, and other successful value investors. A number of case studies highlight the techniques in practice.
Bruce C. N. Greenwald (New York, NY) is the Robert Heilbrunn Professor of Finance and Asset Management at Columbia University. Judd Kahn, PhD (New York, NY), is a member of Morningside Value Investors. Paul D. Sonkin (New York, NY) is the investment manager of the Hummingbird Value Fund. Michael van Biema (New York, NY) is an Assistant Professor at the Graduate School of Business, Columbia University.

BusinessWeek - Robert Barker

Individual investors in the Internet Age are blessed with information. We also are cursed with too much of the stuff, from real-time quotes to streaming videos of fund managers. This info-clutter extends to books, and cutting through it can be difficult, even dispiriting, when you see how little thought goes into so many books. That's why I've spent part of the summer doing it for you. And the new title most deserving of your time is Value Investing: From Graham to Buffett and Beyond. Its authors, Columbia Business School faculty members Bruce C.N. Greenwald and Michael Van Biema and fund managers Paul D. Sonkin and Judd Kahn, aim to place their work next to Benjamin Graham's 1950 classic, The Intelligent Investor. My 1986 edition came with Warren Buffett's endorsement—"by far the best book on investing ever written." Value Investing is better.

San Jose Mercury News - David A. Sylvester

No one can doubt there's an urgent need to think clearly about investing, since many investors in Silicon Valley companies have suffered a stock market decline comparable to the Crash of '29. The burned investor could find no better starting place than this superb book by four New York City value investors, all descended from the master of value investing, Benjamin Graham.... They have written one of the most intelligent overviews of investing I've ever read, combining analytical rigor with intuitive description.

SmartMoney Magazine - Paul Sturm

Greenwald is a conventional economist (Ph.D. from MIT who caught the value bug. He has updated and expanded Graham's ideas, and his summer seminars ($2,900 for two days have become popular with everyone from well-known money managers to Columbia MBAs who couldn't get into Greenwald's class. But now there is a cheaper way to learn from Greenwald: He and three colleagues have just published "Value Investing: From Graham to Buffett and Beyond." Greenwald probably won't outsell Graham, but I think he ought to.

Booknews

Leading authorities on value investing reveal principles that have made value investing one of the most consistently profitable investment techniques. They explore the history of value investing, explain its underlying principles, and offer guidelines for its successful application. They tell where to look for underpriced securities and how to determine the intrinsic value of a stock, and describe alternative methods for constructing a portfolio that controls risk without restricting investment returns. They detail techniques of the most successful value investors of the 20th century, and show how to adapt techniques to new investment climates. Annotation c.

Innovator's Dilemma: The Revolutionary Book That will Change the Way You Do Business

Author: Clayton M Christensen

In this revolutionary bestseller, Harvard professor Clayton M. Christensen says outstanding companies can do everything right and still lose their market leadership -- or worse, disappear completely. And he not only proves what he says, he tells others how to avoid a similar fate.

Focusing on "disruptive technology" -- the Honda Super Cub, Intel's 8088 processor, or the hydraulic excavator, for example -- Christensen shows why most companies miss "the next great wave." Whether in electronics or retailing, a successful company with established products will get pushed aside unless managers know when to abandon traditional business practices. Using the lessons of successes and failures from leading companies, The Innovator's Dilemma presents a set of rules for capitalizing on the phenomenon of disruptive innovation.

Find out:

  • When it is right not to listen to customers.
  • When to invest in developing lower-performance products that promise lower margins.
  • When to pursue small markets at the expense of seemingly
  • larger and more lucrative ones.

Sharp, cogent, and provocative, The Innovator's Dilemma is one of the most talked-about books of our time -- and one no savvy manager or entrepreneur should be without.



The Wealth of Nations or Think and Grow Rich

The Wealth of Nations (Barnes & Noble Library of Essential Reading)

Author: Adam Smith

Adam Smith is often considered the first modern economist. His magnum opus, The Wealth of Nations (1776) is widely credited with laying the theoretical and philosophical foundations for capitalism. The work had an immediate impact on economic thinking, in light of its arguments for the freedom of trade. The Wealth of Nations is far more than a treatise of economic theory, however. In this work Smith presents a powerful blueprint for a stable and peaceful society which rests upon a hard-headed and realistic assessment of humans and their natures.



Adam Smith was born in the small Scottish town of Kircaldy in 1723. He became a professor of logic at Glasgow University in 1751 and shortly thereafter a professor of moral philosophy. In 1759, he published his first great work, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, which established his reputation as a leading philosopher in Europe. The Wealth of Nations made him an eminent man of letters and led to his appointment as Commissioner of Customs in Edinburgh.

Think and Grow Rich: A Black Choice

Author: Dennis Paul Kimbro

"An inspiring an powerful success guide."
ESSENCE
Author and entrepreneur Dennis Kimbro combines bestseeling author Napolean Hilll's law of success with his own vast knowledge of business, contemporary affairs, and the vibrant culture of Black America to teach you the secrets to success used by scores of black Americans, including: Spike Lee, Jesse Jackson, Dr. Selma Burke, Oprah Winfrey, and many others. The result is inspiring, practical, clearly written, and totally workable. Use it to unlock the treasure you have always dreamed of--the treasure that at last is within your reach.

Library Journal

Kimbro has tailored this deft rewriting of Napoleon Hill's ever-popular classic Think and Grow Rich (1937) to a black audience. Addressing issues like racism and poverty that can affect the achievement of black Americans, he offers a quick tour through black history, highlighting the stories of successful contemporary African Americans like Oprah Winfrey and publisher John Johnson. It works on the same level that the original did and should generate demand among African American patrons. An essential purchase for most institutional libraries, where all self-help books are in high demand.-- Anita L. Cole, Miami-Dade P.L. System, Fla.

BookList

Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" and "Law of Success", in their many various versions, have sold millions of copies. Some time after his death in 1970, it was reported that Hill had left an unfinished manuscript targeting black America with his message of self-confidence and affirmative outlook. Kimbro, a black writer and lecturer for the Napoleon Hill Foundation, adapted and updated Hill's manuscript, which argues that such barriers as racism, discrimination, and lack of opportunity should not be self-defeating obstacles.

Ultimate Sales Machine: Turbocharge Your Business with Relentless Focus on 12 Key Strategies

Author: Chet Holmes

Chet Holmes has been called "one of the top 20 change experts in the country." He helps his clients blow away both the competition and their own expectations. And his advice starts with one simple concept: focus! Instead of trying to master four thousand strategies to improve your business, zero in on the few essential skill areas that make the big difference.

Too many managers jump at every new trend, but don't stick with any of them. Instead, says Holmes, focus on twelve critical areas of improvement—one at a time—and practice them over and over with pigheaded discipline.

The Ultimate Sales Machine shows you how to tune up and soup up virtually every part of your business by spending just an hour per week on each impact area you want to improve. Like a tennis player who hits nothing but backhands for a few hours a week to perfect his game, you can systematically improve each key area.

Holmes offers proven strategies for:
• Management: Teach your people how to work smarter, not harder
• Marketing: Get more bang from your Web site, advertising, trade shows, and public relations
• Sales: Perfect every sales interaction by working on sales, not just in sales

Women Money or Good to Great

Women & Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny

Author: Suze Orman

The #1 New York Times bestselling author's groundbreaking new book investigates the complicated relationship women have with money.

Suze Orman equips women with the financial knowledge and emotional awareness to overcome the blocks that have kept them from making more out of the money they have. In chapters such as "You are Not on "Sale," "No Shame, No Blame," and "The 8 Qualities of a Wealthy Woman" Suze delivers her signature mix of insight, compassion, and soul-deep recognition. At the heart of the book is "The Save Yourself Plan" - a streamlined, five-month countdown that delivers genuine long-term financial security. But what's at stake is far bigger than money itself; it's about every woman's sense of who she is and what she deserves, and why it all begins with the decision to save yourself.

Publishers Weekly

Bestselling author (2005's The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke, etc.) and host of her own CNBC show, Orman encourages women to "give toyourself as much as you give ofyourself" in her ninth financial advice book, sure to resonate with legions of readers who will appreciate her straightforward advice and supportive tone. Aiming squarely for a female audience, Orman guides readers through the very basics of finances. She explores why women have dysfunctional relationships with money and notes the ways they undervalue themselves or "treat themselves as a commodity whose price is set by others," while also sharing the story of her own evolving relationship with her finances. Though her explanation of the "8 qualities of a wealthy woman" (harmony, balance, courage, etc.) is more inspirational than practical, she also presents a concrete five-month "save yourself plan" for financial repair, starting with setting aside checking and savings accounts, fixing one's credit rating, saving for retirement, setting up a will and purchasing home insurance. This encouraging guide will not intimidate women who are foundering financially. (Feb.)

Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...and Others Don't

Author: Jim Collins

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 very beginning.

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 worldХs 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?

Publishers Weekly

In what Collins terms a prequel to the bestseller Built to Last he wrote with Jerry Porras, this worthwhile effort explores the way good organizations can be turned into ones that produce great, sustained results. To find the keys to greatness, Collins's 21-person research team (at his management research firm) read and coded 6,000 articles, generated more than 2,000 pages of interview transcripts and created 384 megabytes of computer data in a five-year project. That Collins is able to distill the findings into a cogent, well-argued and instructive guide is a testament to his writing skills. After establishing a definition of a good-to-great transition that involves a 10-year fallow period followed by 15 years of increased profits, Collins's crew combed through every company that has made the Fortune 500 (approximately 1,400) and found 11 that met their criteria, including Walgreens, Kimberly Clark and Circuit City. At the heart of the findings about these companies' stellar successes is what Collins calls the Hedgehog Concept, a product or service that leads a company to outshine all worldwide competitors, that drives a company's economic engine and that a company is passionate about. While the companies that achieved greatness were all in different industries, each engaged in versions of Collins's strategies. While some of the overall findings are counterintuitive (e.g., the most effective leaders are humble and strong-willed rather than outgoing), many of Collins's perspectives on running a business are amazingly simple and commonsense. This is not to suggest, however, that executives at all levels wouldn't benefit from reading this book; after all, only 11 companies managed to figureout how to change their B grade to an A on their own.

Library Journal

Collins follows his successful Built To Last (coauthor, with Jerry Porras), which showed how companies triumph over time, with this extensive analysis of how good, mediocre, and even bad companies can achieve enduring greatness. Collins led a research team of 21 members who analyzed data on 1,435 companies, looking for the few that made substantial improvements in their performance over time. The 11 featured businesses, which earned the "good-to-great" label, outperformed the market by a multiple of at least three over a 15-year period and were able to sustain their success for at least 15 years. They include Circuit City, Fannie Mae, Kimberly Clark, Phillip Morris, and Wells Fargo. The author reveals common traits that distinguish these companies from comparison firms that failed to reach a similar level of success. Collins's deeply earnest narration is heightened by his obvious zeal for the material, further enhancing this solid content that will likely have more staying power than Tom Peters's In Search of Excellence. Highly recommended for larger public libraries and university libraries supporting a business curriculum.-Dale Farris, Groves, TX Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Soundview Executive Book Summaries

In his previous bestseller, Built to Last, Jim Collins explored what made great companies great and how they sustained that greatness over time. One point kept nagging him, though - great companies have, for the most part, always been great, while a vast majority of good companies remain just that: good, but not great. What could merely good companies do to become great, to turn long-term weakness into long-term supremacy?

Collins and his team of researchers used strict benchmarks to identify a group of 11 elite companies that made the leap from good to great and sustained that greatness for at least 15 years. The real surprise of Good to Great is not so much what good companies do to propel themselves to greatness - it is why more companies have not done the same things more often.

The author and his team of researchers established these good-to-great benchmarks:

  • The companies had to have experienced 15-year cumulative stock returns that were at or below the general stock market, punctuated by a transition point, then cumulative returns at least three times the market over the next fifteen years.
  • Each company had to demonstrate the good-to-great pattern independent of its industry.
  • Each company had to demonstrate a pattern of results.
  • Each company was compared to other similar companies that either never made the good-to-great leap (or made it but did not sustain it), in order to determine what distinguished the good-to-great company from all others.

When the dust cleared and the good-to-great companies were identified, the author and his researchers found distinct patterns of behavior in those who led each company and the people who followed them - patterns that concerned disciplined people, thought and action.

Level 5 Leadership
One of the most surprising results of the research was in the discovery of the type of leadership required to turn a good company into a great one. One might think that such companies are led by high-profile leaders with big personalities who make headlines and become celebrities.

Yet, Collins found that those leaders who seek and thrive in the spotlight do not exude what can be termed "Level 5 Leadership" behaviors. (The term Level 5 refers to the highest level in a hierarchy of executive capabilities.) Leaders of this type -those who combine extreme personal humility with intense professional will - shun the attention of celebrity, channeling their ambition toward the goal of building a great company. Collins explains that these leaders all set up successors for success, are compellingly modest, and have unwavering resolve.

He also found that good-to-great leaders understand three simple truths:

  1. If you begin with the "who," rather than the "what," you can more easily adapt to a changing world.
  2. If you have the right people on the bus, the problem of how to motivate and manage people largely goes away.
  3. If you have the wrong people, it doesn't matter whether you discover the right direction - you still won't have a great company.

All good-to-great companies began the process of finding a path to greatness by confronting the brutal facts of their current reality. Collins found that when a company starts with an honest and diligent effort to determine the truth of its situation, the right decisions often become self-evident.

One of the primary tasks in taking a company from good to great is to create a culture wherein people have a tremendous opportunity to be heard and, ultimately, for the truth to be likewise heard. Collins writes that, to create a culture of discipline, successful leaders:

  • Build a culture around the idea of freedom and responsibility, within a framework.
  • Fill the company's culture with self-disciplined people who are willing to go to extreme lengths to fulfill their responsibilities.
  • Do not confuse a culture of discipline with a tyrannical discipline.

Collins also found that good-to-great organizations think differently than mediocre organizations about technology and technological change. They avoid the fads and bandwagons that typically arise from new technology, instead becoming pioneers in the application of carefully selected technologies. Leaders of good-to-great companies respond with thoughtfulness and creativity, driven by a compulsion to turn unrealized potential into results. They act in terms of what they want to create, and how to improve their companies, relative to an absolute standard of excellence.

Good-to-great transformations often look like dramatic, revolutionary events to those observing from the outside, but they feel like organic, cumulative processes to people on the inside. Collins writes that good-to-great companies had no name for their transformations; there was no launch event, no tag line, no programmatic feel whatsoever. Collins explains that each company went through a quiet, deliberate process of figuring out what needed to be done to create the best future results, then simply took those steps, one by one over time, until it hit breakthrough moments.

Why Soundview Likes This Book
Collins has taken exemplary research and turned it into a book that redefines what it takes to become a great company. His eye-opening insights and sharp historical perspective support the valid and important conclusions he reaches. By debunking many myths about what it takes to make a company succeed, he points leaders in the right direction to turn competence into excellence.

Funcionamiento Globesmart:12 Habilidades de Gente para Hacer Negocio a Través de Fronteras

Autor:Ernest GundlingAuthor:Ernest Gundling

Por cualquier medida, el éxito comercial ya no únicamente es sobre trabajo difícil, intenciones buenas, y maestría técnica.El edificio de relación, la comunicación, y la capacidad de forjar la cooperación a través de líneas organizativas son claves - sobre todo funcionando a través de fronteras, atravesando husos horarios, y cruzando culturas.Si usted trabaja para una corporación global en un ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores, en un equipo virtual que atraviesa el globo, o en un lugar de trabajo multicultural en sus Estados Unidos.oficina central, usted encontrará en el Funcionamiento de GlobeSmart a un guía de campaña de la ciudadanía global.De India a Italia, Turquía a Tailandia, el autor ha juntado las perspicacias de más de dos docenas de países y expertos regionales que han ayudado a miles de gerentes globales a tener éxito en ambientes comerciales multiculturales complejos.Con numerosos ejemplos, el diálogo de muestra, y el modelo GlobeSmart único del autor, las ofertas de libro consejo práctico, basado en las habilidades sobre como desarrollarse o participar en un equipo global, crean programas de desarrollo y formación eficaces para principiantes multiculturales colocados en todas partes alrededor del mundo, y juntan la sabiduría colectiva de su organización en una visión estratégica que saca las relaciones naturales entre comunicación y cambio, cultura y comercio.Manifestándose como las habilidades de gente globales añaden el valor al negocio global, Trabajando GlobeSmart proporciona un mapa de carreteras a desarrollar capacidades en el organizativo, grupo, y nivel interpersonal y detalles las doce habilidades claves críticas para el éxito - de establecer la credibilidad, el trabajo en equipo, y la negociación a transferencia de conocimiento, dirección de cambio, e innovación.Demonstrating how global people skills add value to global business, Working GlobeSmart provides a road map for developing competencies at the organizational, group, and interpersonal level and details the twelve key skills critical for success -- from establishing credibility, teamwork, and negotiation to knowledge transfer, change management, and innovation.

Mientras la idea de un pueblo global donde la gente y los mercados sin costuras mezclan es atractiva, realmente haciendo el negocio a través de fronteras puede ser complicado.Gundling, un especialista de Asia en los Socios de Recursos de Meridiano de firma de consulta en gestión, intenta encender el camino para aquellos arriesgando en aguas internacionales.Gundling sabe su materia:el libro es denso y detallado, con anécdotas en el manejo de toda la manera de situaciones, de tratar con un subordinado turco de la evaluación de un ejecutivo ruso.Esto carece de la aptitud literaria, que sigue de una moda sumamente parecida a un trabajador en vez de tirar a lectores en con narrativas ricas.Es una cartilla inestimable, sin embargo, en el recuerdo de ejecutivos que hacer el negocio en el extranjero es más sobre habilidades de gente que algo más.Las cuestiones matizadas de cultura y tradición a menudo son lo que es detrás de averías de comunicación, así sabiendo como comportar y relacionarse en climas extranjeros es lo que lanzará a lectores más allá de qué el autor se mofa como "barco de crucero globalism" y ayudarles a llegar a un entendimiento realmente global.(Junio) Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.(June) Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

Ejecutivo de Soundview Reserva Resúmenes

El negocio global aumenta dramáticamente y junto con ello, la fricción fronteriza que surge cuando allí son entendidos mal o no hizo caso de diferencias culturales.Aunque cada destino proporcione nuevos riesgos a errores, Ernest Gundling, un experto en acercamientos globales estratégicos al desarrollo de mando, cambio organizativo e innovación, explica que los desafíos que usted encontrará son relativamente previsibles y fácilmente esperados.

La mayor causa sola de dificultades en transacciones comerciales globales es la carencia de habilidades de gente apropiadas para relacionarse con equivalentes de otros países y culturas.En el Funcionamiento de GlobeSmart, Gundling perfila a los 12 gerentes de habilidades fundamentales necesidad si ellos tienen la intención de superar fronteras y tener éxito.No simplemente una lista de aduana culturalmente específica y comportamientos, Trabajando GlobeSmart presenta un juego general de comportamientos que atraviesan interpersonal, grupo y habilidades organizativas.Según Gundling, gerentes, gerentes sobre todo americanos, que pueden entender por qué estas habilidades son importantes y los incorporan en su trato comercial - si en Sudamérica, Europa o Asia - encontrarán que los compañeros a través del globo con mayor probabilidad responderán y trabajarán juntos para conseguir resultados mutuamente beneficiosos.

Habilidades de Gente Globales
Los gerentes con frecuencia subestiman la importancia de habilidades de gente globales al negocio.El modelo en el Funcionamiento de GlobeSmart incluye 12 capacidades que incluyen interpersonal, grupo, y habilidades organizativas.Gundling escribe que ellos deben ser bien integrados en todas partes de su cultura organizativa, porque el valor de sus productos, en casa o en el extranjero, disminuirá sin las habilidades de gente de sostenerlos.

Los fracasos en el negocio global son más insidiosos que agudo.Ellos parecen pequeños, pero como ellos aumentan, ellos se hacen letales.Gundling escribe que esperando a otros decir la propia lengua de alguien;la asunción de cada uno está impaciente por adoptar sus caminos;y no llevar tiempo para establecer relaciones eficaces en el extranjero puede vender más barato todo de proyectos que han estado con cuidado strategized en casa.

Las generalizaciones sobre una cultura nacional pueden ser provechosas en la anticipación como la gente actuará en ajustes desconocidos, Gundling explica, pero es impropio aplicar estereotipos a una nacionalidad entera que es con la mayor probabilidad tan variada culturalmente y étnicamente como su propio.Preguntándose de otra cultura, identificando su contribución, aprendiendo sus valores principales y comportamiento asistente, y entendiendo los huecos entre usted y el perfil medio de la otra cultura, él escribe que usted puede predecir áreas del conflicto potencial tanto con socios de negocio como con sus propios límites personales.

Habilidades Interpersonales
Las habilidades globales son basadas en una fundación de relaciones personales fuertes, pero estas relaciones pueden llevar tiempo y tener muchas facetas.Según Gundling, estableciendo la credibilidad, manejando la reacción, obteniendo la información, y evaluando a la gente son todas las habilidades interpersonales críticas que los gerentes internacionales deben desarrollar cuando ellos trabajan en otra cultura.

Gundling indica que a menudo aquellos con habilidades de gente buenas en casa hacen las opciones incorrectas en el extranjero.La trampa más común debe evaluar a la gente positivamente sobre la base de habilidades de lengua cuando ellos son deficientes en dirección de subordinados o funcionamiento con clientes.Él dice que usted debe aprender estándares locales de modo que usted pueda discernir cuando la conducta que señala el competencia en su propio ambiente tiene un significado diferente.

Habilidades de Grupo
Más allá del funcionamiento un en un, tanto del negocio confía en el trabajo en equipo.Gundling explica que los problemas de la cultura se hacen ampliados con cada nueva persona o cultura que es añadida al grupo.Influyendo en equipos globales, formación y desarrollo, vendiéndose y negociando toda la necesidad para ser acercada diferentemente que ellos estarían en casa.

Habilidades Organizativas
Una vez que usted ha interiorizado estas habilidades de gente y ha desarrollado una conciencia de las diferencias entre su cultura de nación y aquel de sus compañeros extranjeros, Gundling escribe que usted debe decidir como ajustar y acomodar su cultura corporativa a la arena comercial en el extranjero también.

Cuando los gerentes internacionales se dirigen para hacerse ciudadanos globales que ellos deben considerar como ellos cambiarán el mundo, Gundling explica.¿Quiere el país extranjero los cambios que usted trae?¿Debería esto tenerlos?Como valora alrededor del cambio mundial, él escribe que el mejor lugar para iniciar el cambio consiste en donde los clientes locales y los empleados lo desean o están abiertos para ello.En vez de gerentes internacionales nacionales, él añade, el mundo necesita a ciudadanos globales que pueden moverse fácilmente de una cultura al otro.Él escribe que ellos cercan los artículos principales de confianza, respeto y escucha, sino también participación con trabajo significativo, ganancia, integridad, justicia social, sostenibilidad ambiental, aprendizaje mutuo, y crecimiento personal y profesional.Los ciudadanos globales superan las dicotomías de padre y filial y a casa y país anfitrión.Cuando la proporción de en el extranjero a ingresos domésticos cambia dramáticamente, él explica que las compañías necesitarán a empleados que pueden reconocer necesidades de cliente locales, cargarlos contra las prioridades estratégicas de la organización, e invertir recursos valiosos en el mejor interés de la compañía.Copyright © 2003 Soundview Executive Book Summaries

Contabilidad Financiera

El Libby/Libby/Short escribió este texto basado en su creencia que el sujeto de la contabilidad financiera es libros de texto de la contabilidad intrínsecamente interesantes, pero financieros no son a menudo.Ellos creen que la mayor parte de libros de texto de la contabilidad financieros dejan de demostrar que la contabilidad es un campo emocionante del estudio y uno que es importante para futuras carreras en el negocio.Escribiendo este texto, ellos consideraron la importancia de carrera como su guía seleccionando el material, y la necesidad de contratar al estudiante como su guía para diseñar, pedagogía, y diseño.El Libby/Libby/Short es el único texto de la contabilidad financiero para poner en práctica con éxito un acercamiento de compañía de foco verdadero y mundial, solo en cada capítulo.Los estudiantes y los instructores han respondido muy favorablemente al uso de compañías de foco y las declaraciones financieras verdaderas y mundiales.Las compañías elegidas toman parte y el foco de toma de decisiones muestra la importancia de la contabilidad financiera sin tener en cuenta si el estudiante ha elegido a principal en la contabilidad.The companies chosen are engaging and the decision-making focus shows the relevance of financial accounting regardless of whether or not the student has chosen to major in accounting.

Elementos necesarios de Dirección Contemporánea

Autor:Gareth R JonesAuthor:Gareth R Jones

Jones y George son dedicados al desafío "de la Fabricación de Esto Verdadero" para estudiantes.Como un equipo, ellos son únicamente calificados para escribir sobre los desafíos organizativos que están enfrente de gerentes de hoy.Ningún otro equipo de autor en la disciplina de dirección empareja su investigación combinada y experiencia que escribe el texto.Los elementos necesarios de la Dirección concisamente contemplan teorías de dirección corrientes e investigación.Por una variedad de verdaderos ejemplos mundiales de compañías pequeñas, medias, y grandes el lector aprende como aquellas ideas están usadas practicando a gerentes.La organización de este texto sigue el acercamiento funcional dominante de planificación, organización, conducción, y control;pero el contenido es flexible y anima a instructores a usar la organización con la cual ellos son los más cómodos.Los temas de diversidad, ética, y tecnología de información son claramente evidentes por ejemplos en el texto, fotografías, "deshizo" historias, y el material de final del capítulo – todas las áreas de la importancia que realmente sirven para traer a la vida la realidad de lugar de trabajo que el estudiante de hoy encontrará en el curso de una carrera.The themes of diversity, ethics, and information technology are clearly evident through in-text examples, photographs, "unboxed" stories, and the end-of-chapter material – all areas of importance that truly serve to bring to life the workplace realities that today's student will encounter in the course of a career.
