Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The founder and co-CEO of Salesforce delivers an inspiring vision for successful companies of the future—in which changing the world is everyone’s business. “An urgent and compelling book for anyone in business who yearns to fulfill a higher mission in the world.”—Richard Branson What’s the secret to business growth and innovation and a purpose-driven career in a world that is becoming vastly more complicated by the day? According to Marc Benioff, the answer is embracing a culture in which your values permeate everything you do. In Trailblazer, Benioff gives readers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of one of the world’s most admired companies. He reveals how Salesforce’s core values—trust, customer success, innovation, and equality—and commitment to giving back have become the company’s greatest competitive advantage and the most powerful engine of its success. Because no matter what business you’re in, Benioff says, values are the bedrock of a resilient company culture that inspires all employees, at every level, to do the best work of their lives. Along the way, he shares insights and best practices for anyone who wants to cultivate a company culture positioned to thrive in the face of the inevitable disruption ahead. None of us in the business world can afford to sit on the sidelines and ignore what’s going on outside the walls of our workplaces. In the future, profits and progress will no longer be sustainable unless they serve the greater good. Whether you run a company, lead a small team, or have just draped an ID badge around your neck for the first time, Trailblazer reveals how anyone can become an agent of change. Praise for Trailblazer “A guide for what every business and organization must do to thrive in this period of profound political and economic change.”—Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase “In Trailblazer, Benioff explores how companies can nurture a values-based culture to become powerful platforms for change.”—Susan Wojcicki, CEO of YouTube

Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Can you still have a home if you don't have a house? In the spirit of The Truth About Jellyfish and Fish in a Tree comes a stunning debut about a family struggling to find something lasting when everything feels so fleeting. Always think in threes and you'll never fall, Cora's father told her when she was a little girl. Two feet, one hand. Two hands, one foot. That was all Cora needed to know to climb the trees of Brooklyn. But now Cora is a middle schooler, a big sister, and homeless. Her mother is trying to hold the family together after her father's death, and Cora must look after her sister, Adare, who's just different, their mother insists. Quick to smile, Adare hates wearing shoes, rarely speaks, and appears untroubled by the question Cora can't help but ask: How will she find a place to call home? After their room at the shelter is ransacked, Cora's mother looks to an old friend for help, and Cora finally finds what she has been looking for: Ailanthus altissima, the "tree of heaven," which can grow in even the worst conditions. It sets her on a path to discover a deeper truth about where she really belongs. Just Under the Clouds will take root in your heart and blossom long after you've turned the last page. "[A] heartbreaking yet hopeful story of a family searching for a place to belong." --Publishers Weekly "[A] thought provoking debut about the meaning of home and the importance of family."--Horn Book Magazine

There Is Always Sunshine Behind the Clouds
Author: Charles K. Chiodi
Publisher: Chiodi Advertising & Pub Incorporated
ISBN: 9781880465059
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
A young family's dramatic escape from the tyranny of their Communist regime, the struggle of starting their new life halfway around the world in a country where they could not speak the language, and the hilariously funny situations they got themselves into because of it...are some of the chapters in which the author takes the reader for a non-stop emotional roller-coaster ride. In one chapter you will shed tears of sympathy for the dying mother who is desperately attempting to hang on to life by facing into the sunshine -- sitting in a window day after day -- while struggling with her guilt feelings of being an invalid burden to her teenage son. That's what gave this book its title. In another chapter you will find humour in how a foreigner has to cope with what is an everyday routine for those who were born in and grew up in the United States. Throughout the chapters the author of the story is amazed at the freedom and the opportunities his new country provides, until one day he realises that there is another side to this shiny coin, and it is corroding rapidly. Or is corrupting a better word for what is going on in this once pristine society?Had family values changed with the advent of both parents working, or is the lack of discipline at home, in school, and in life to be blamed? Is there too much freedom in this country? -- a statement he once made and was promptly chastised for by his contemporaries. Despite life's hardships, he always had a positive attitude, because he remembered his mother's last words: Son, there is always sunshine behind those clouds Indeed, there is, and the clouds keep moving. They are not permanently glued to the sky.
