Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Finally, an answer to the ultimate business question: How do some companies achieve exceptional performance over the long term? In every sector, there s an outlier. In the pharmaceutical industry, it s Merck. In discount retail, it s Family Dollar. It used to be Wrigley in candy and Maytag in appliances. Other superstars have been hidden in plain sight, like Heartland Express in trucking or Linear Technology in semiconductors. How do these exceptional companies deliver superior performance over the long run despite facing the same constraints as competitors? What are they doing differently? What can we learn from them? Michael E. Raynor and Mumtaz Ahmed have analyzed data on more than 25,000 companies spanning forty-five years. Their five-year study began with a sophisticated statistical analysis to identify which companies have truly exceptional performance, 344 in all. In collaboration with teams of researchers, Raynor and Ahmed then put a carefully chosen representative sample of twenty-seven companies under the microscope to uncover what made the stand-out performers different. They found that exceptional companies, when faced with difficult decisions, follow three rules: Better before cheaper. They rarely compete on price.Revenue before cost. They drive profits through price and volume, not thrift.There are no other rules. Everything else is up for grabs, and they are willing to change anything to remain true to the first two rules.The rules provide an indispensable compass that any company can use to chart its own path to greatness. Is it better to keep price down or invest in creating value that commands a higher price? Should you focus on talent and developing the abilities of your people or build processes to extend the capabilities of your organization? How about acquiring a sizable competitor to secure economies of scale or a small start-up to gain access to new technology? According to Raynor and Ahmed, the right answers to these and just about every other question are the ones most closely aligned with the rules. The Three Rules is built on a powerful combination of large-scale data analysis and in-depth case studies. Its guidance will increase the chance that your organization can become truly exceptional.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. What is your one thing? The entrepreneur, thought leader, and best-selling author of Called to Create offers a refreshing invitation: stop trying to do it all so you can thrive in your unique, God-given work. "A compelling case for embracing our vocational limits and choosing to do our one thing well."--Emily P. Freeman, Wall Street Journal best-selling author of The Next Right Thing   Imagine how different your life would be if you spent your time doing the very thing that brings you the greatest joy. It's possible, but most people spend their days making incremental advances on numerous tasks, competent at many things but exceptional at none. That's because for too long we've believed the lie that more activity, more jobs, and more responsibility equals greater effectiveness. In short, we are becoming a society of "jacks-and-jills-of-all-trades and masters of none." But what if you could shift your focus from too many things to one? In this thought-provoking book, you'll discover the exponential power of pursuing a singular craft. Through practical principles, Jordan Raynor provides straightforward steps for finding and thriving in your calling. He also highlights more than a dozen real-life examples of high-impact individuals who have chosen to focus on and excel in their unique gifting, including: * Chronicles of Narnia author C. S. Lewis * Enron whistle-blower Sherron Watkins * TV legend Mister Rogers * Dallas Mavericks CEO Cynthia Marshall * Reality TV star Chip Gaines * NFL Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy * Biblical figures, a teacher, a pilot, a banker, and world-class entrepreneurs Too many of us are overwhelmed, overcommitted, and overstressed. This book offers a better way--the path to becoming a master of one.…
