-Titulo Original : Crucial Accountability Tools For Resolving Violated Expectations, Broken Commitments, And Bad Behavior, Second Edition-Fabricante : McGraw Hill-Descripcion Original: In this UPDATED SECOND EDITION (first edition titled Crucial Confrontations), youll learn how to hold anyone accountable, master performance discussions, and get results.Behind the problems that routinely plague our organizations and families, youll find individuals who are either unwilling or unable to deal with broken promises. Colleagues break a rule, coworkers miss a deadline, friends fail to live up to commitments (or just plain behave badly), and nobody says a word. Nobody holds anyone accountable. With repeated infractions, individuals become increasingly upset until they finally do speak their minds, but they do so poorly--often creating whole new sets of problems. Research proves that mishandled disappointments arent just morale killers, theyre institution killers--diminishing organizational performance by 20 to 50 percent and accounting for up to 90 percent of all divorces. Everyone knows how to run for cover, or, if sufficiently provoked, step up to problems in a way that causes a real ruckus. Crucial Accountability teaches you how to deal with violated expectations in a way that solves the problem at hand without harming the relationship--and, in fact, even strengthens it. Broken promises, missed deadlines, poor behavior--they dont just make others lives miserable; they can sap up to 50 percent of organizational performance and account for the vast majority of divorces. Crucial Accountability offers the tools for improving relationships in the workplace and in life and for resolving all these problems--permanently.

-Titulo Original : The Hero And The Outlaw Building Extraordinary Brands Through The Power Of Archetypes-Fabricante : McGraw Hill-Descripcion Original: From Booklist Pearson is the president of the Center for Archetypal Studies and Applications and the author of The Hero Within: Six Archetypes We Live By (1998) and a coauthor of Magic at Work: Camelot, Creative Leadership, and Everyday Miracles (1995). Mark is a consultant specializing in business strategy and brand management. Pearsons work is based on Jungian psychology, which holds that archetypes are forms or images of a collective nature, which occur not only as myths but also as individual products of the unconscious. Using examples from advertising and marketing and consumer, popular, and organizational culture, she and Mark show that successful brands draw on responses to such archetypes as the hero, outlaw, lover, sage, magician, creator, and innocent, and that these responses cross lifestyle and cultural boundaries. They examine ways to determine which archetypal meaning is best for ones brand and provide a model for doing so. David RouseCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved A brand’s meaning how it resonates in the public heart and mind is a company’s most valuable competitive advantage. Yet, few companies really know how brand meaning works, how to manage it, and how to use brand meaning strategically. Written by best-selling author Carol S. Pearson (The Hero Within) and branding guru Margaret Mark, this groundbreaking book provides the illusive and compelling answer. Using studies drawn from the experiences of Nike, Marlboro, Ivory and other powerhouse brands, the authors show that the most successful brands are those that most effectively correspond to fundamental patterns in the unconscious mind known as archetypes. The book provides tools and strategies to: * Implement a proven system for identifying the most appropriate and leverageable archetypes for any company and/or brand * Harness the power of the archetype to align corporate strategy to sustain competitive advantage Review Using examples from advertising and marketing and consumer, popular, and organizational culture, Pearson and Mark show that successful brands draw on responses to such archetypes as the hero, outlaw, lover, sage, magician, creator, and innocent, and that these responses cross lifestyle and cultural boundaries.

-Titulo Original : Ruthless Consistency How Committed Leaders Execute Strategy, Implement Change, And Build Organizations That Win-Fabricante : McGraw Hill-Descripcion Original: From the Publisher Michael Canic, PhD, is the president of Making Strategy Happen, which specializes in helping committed leaders of midsize companies turn ambition into strategy, and strategy into reality. Canic originated his strategy model while working as a corporate leader for FedEx, during which time his district became the most recognized in the Americas for service quality. A Certified Speaking Professional, he has delivered more than 600 presentations on ruthless consistency to audiences on four continents, many through Vistage Worldwide which, with over 23,000 members in 20 countries, is the world’s largest organization of CEOs, business owners, and key executives. When all is said and done, a lot more gets said than done. What is the antidote to this? Ruthless Consistency.According to Harvard Business Review, “most studies still show a 60-70% failure rate for organizational change projects a statistic that has stayed constant from the 1970s to the present.” Drawing on his 20 years of experience as a strategy and execution consultant specializing in midsize companies, Michael Canic helps committed leaders drive the odds in their favor. In Ruthless Consistency, he identifies the three surprising reasons most strategic change initiatives fail:Leaders unwittingly send mixed messages that demotivate their people and undermine those initiatives.Leaders focus on what they do instead of what their people experience.Leaders are not as committed as they think they are or need to be.The book then introduces an intuitive yet comprehensive model for success. Simply put, leaders who develop the right focus, create the right environment, and build the right team consistently are leaders whose organizations win. Finally, it details each element of the model and offers ready-to-apply processes, practices, techniques, and tools to make it happen. It’s a must-read for every leader who wants to implement change successfully. From the Back Cover “Great leaders pursue strategic change with the commitment of a world-class athlete. Every CEO should read Ruthless Consistency to learn the difference between success and failure.” -Sam Reese, CEO, Vistage Worldwide, Inc. “Ruthless Consistency equips you with the tools to be the exception to the trend of failed strategic change initiatives. This is the ultimate guide to implementing real, positive, and lasting change in your organization.” -Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers 50 #1 Executive Coach and only two-time #1 Leadership Thinker “It’s all about commitment. If we didn’t adopt ruthless consistency, we wouldn’t have achieved 10 years of double-digit CAGR and built a team that is focused, mentally tough, and able to execute.” -Kurt Lang, President, Air Technologies “Committing to Michael’s approach was the single best investment of time and money I made as a CEO. I just wish I had done it 20 years earlier.” -Riyaz Devji, CEO, North American Tea & Coffee “Ruthless Consistency isn’t just a book; it’s a road map for unlocking your organization’s potential.

This is hope condensed for the tired parent; essential for all public libraries.~ Kari Ramstrom, MLIS, starred review, The Library Journal Guaranteed to help parents reclaim sweet dreams for their entire familyNew from the bestselling author of the classic baby sleep guide!Getting babies to sleep through the night is one thing; getting willful toddlers and energetic preschoolers to sleep is another problem altogether.

It provides answers to better sleep for children from the day of birth through toddlerhood. My youngest child was a very frequent night-waking, all-night breastfeeding-baby.

Since then, I have corresponded with tens of thousands of parents, and I have expanded my research up through the preschool years to bring you this edition of The No-Cry Sleep Solution.Because the magic of children is that they are all very different from one another, and that they are unique in their transitions from one stage of growth to the next, this edition of The No-Cry Sleep Solution crosses paths with the first for that in-between stage from baby to toddler. It then moves forward through the preschool years, and for many children, into the primary grades as well.I hope to guide you along a gentle, peaceful journey to good sleep for everyone in your family.
