Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Being a successful business owner means more than knowing one's industry and understanding the basic concepts of leadership, management, or motivation. It means being able to master many areas of business, and knowing how each of these areas relate to and build on each other. It also means understanding how those areas change as a business goes through its inevitable life cycle, and how the owner must be prepared to change with them. The Facts of Business Life is the first book designed to provide readers with the means of achieving the kind of long-term understanding that is the key to true and lasting success.Toward that end, the book covers the seven Facts of Business Life that every successful business owner knows, including: 'If You Don't Lead, No One Will Follow,' 'If You Don't Control It, You Don't Own It,' 'Protecting Your Company's Assets Should be Your First Priority,' 'Planning Is About Preparing for the Future, Not Predicting It,' 'If You Don't Market Your Business, You Won't Have One,' 'The Marketplace Is a War Zone,' and 'You Don't Just Have to Know the Business You're In, You Have to Know Business.'Devoting one chapter to each Fact, the book explains what it is, what it means, and, most important, how it can help entrepreneurs achieve success and stay away from potentially harmful mistakes.

Now, in The Time Cure, Zimbardo has teamed with clinicians Richard and Rosemary Sword to reveal a groundbreaking approach that helps those living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to shift their time perspectives and move beyond the traumatic past toward a more positive future.

Neuware - The Answer to Global OverloadContending with the 24/7 news cycle and an endless barrage of choices and information has stymied leadership and decision-making strategies among those at the top. But we all know, this is not a just a problem for the elite. The broad-based reaction to this chaotic, unmanageable assault has been to retrench, and to focus on immediate, controllable decisions. In the process, we lose sight of the horizon. More dangerous still, is the shift we've seen from value creation to wealth creation, where information technology 1.0 has enabled a transaction-based society in which the 'deal' is more important than the value it drives or the relationships it is based on. On our current path, the odds of a better future are slim.What we need is a new value proposition.Beating the Global Odds is the answer to the dangers of too much of a good thing. There's no going back, but there is the opportunity to set things right. In this book, Paul A. Laudicina, Managing Partner and Chairman of the Board of global consulting firm A.T.
