DOWNLOAD EBOOKA How-To Guide for the Modern Leader Inspired by Peter Drucker's groundbreaking book The Effective Executive, Laura Stack details precisely how 21st-century leaders and managers can obtain profitable, productive results by managing the intersection of two critical values: effectiveness and efficiency. Effectiveness, Stack says, is identifying and achieving the best objectives for your organization—doing the right things. Efficiency is accomplishing them with the least amount of time, effort, and cost—doing things right. If you're not clear on both, you're wasting your time. As Drucker put it, “There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.” Stack's 3T Leadership offers twelve practices that will enable executives to be effective and efficient, grouped into three areas where leaders spend their time: Strategic Thinking, Teamwork, and Tactics. With her expert advice, you'll get scores of new ideas on how you, your team, and your organization can boost productivity.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKImagine what the world would be like if people centered their thoughts and actions on doing the right thing—for themselves, others, and the planet? How would each of these entities benefit, both personally and mutually? In The Pono Principle, author Robert DeVinck offers basic, easy-to-follow steps on how to better the world by asking one simple question: “What is the next right thing I could be doing?” He introduces the Hawaiian principle of pono—the practice of doing the right thing in all things. DeVinck illustrates how this sacred practice is at the core of Hawaiian culture and the spirit of aloha. As a resident of Maui, he’s studied how the principle of pono has profoundly influenced and become central to his own life. DeVinck has learned that actions done for the common good prove to be far more rewarding than actions taken solely for personal gain. When that truth becomes apparent, lives change forever. In his inspirational guidebook, DeVinck has distilled the many life lessons he’s learned, along with the wisdom of the world’s great spiritual teachings, down to the pono principle. By living, eating, and being pono in your daily life, you’ll come to know who you truly are, the person you were created to be.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKObsessively-detailed, and very funny, instructions on nearly everything in life you are very possibly doing all wrong. Help is here! From how to eat an ice-cream cone to developing "principles" when you have none, the author's mission is to elevate, and ennoble, those fleeting instincts we all harbor to get our lives in order. "Hills is preoccupied primarily with the little things," Nora Ephron wrote in the New York Times"and he writes about them deliciously." This volume includes three titles previously published individually: How To Do Things Right, How to Retire at 41, and How to Be Good. They have been edited, revised and combined into one volume and the contents will have you laughing out loud, thinking hard, and at least temporarily rearranging your frazzled life. Hills is wise, witty, and very, very funny. But behind the humor, Hills remains a deeply sage and serious writer. This is his best advice, from years of experience, served up from the heart of one of the most charming humorists to grace the American scene.
