Next Generation Leadership
Author: Adam Kingl
Publisher: HarperCollins Leadership
ISBN: 1400215617
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Employers who don’t adapt to the expectations of younger generations are losing top talent, as they leave for positions at companies with modern practices. Learn what companies need to do to fit into the new normal in the workplace. Generation Y sees the world differently than any other generation in modern memory, and nowhere is this more evident than in the workplace. The shifts that this generation has seen in the economy, technology, and the world have changed what they want from life and work--which is not a 9-5 existence for forty-plus years, leading to a typical retirement at sixty-five. What older generations call a poor work ethic from a spoiled generation, Gen Y sees as a different way of doing things. Companies that take the time to listen realize that what Gen Y is asking for isn’t that crazy; in fact, it’s better in many ways such as: A demand for work-life balance isn’t a cry for fewer work hours--it’s a cry to be able to work from outside the office beyond a rigid 9-5 schedule (which can lead, to Gen Y employees working even more hours than you expected). Leaving a job after a couple years isn’t an inability to commit--it’s a need to learn more, expand their experience, and develop their career at a faster pace, which is helpful to companies that hire those individuals, including your own. Elevating nontraditional benefits over financial benefits is a step toward creating an emotional connection to the company where employees spend most of their time and invest mental and emotional efforts. The need to work for a company with a purpose reflects the power that social media has on the social consciousness. Next Generation Leadership will explore what’s behind these shifts in the character of the emerging workforce. It shows that, as Gen Y assumes managerial positions, the nature of leadership and business will change over the next few decades in irrevocable and profound ways.

Vultured
Author: Adam Starks
Publisher: Adam Starks
ISBN: 1088011942
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
In America's small business landscape, the fail-success rate leans entirely too far in favor of failure, and past experiences provided the author with invaluable insight into many of the reasons. Adam Starks' Vultured is part autobiography, part self-help book highlighting the dark side of entrepreneurship by identifying pitfalls in the decision-making process as it relates to starting and running a small business. Serving as a cautionary tale, the book warns against all such mistakes one can make that may result in landing on the failing side of a small business venture. Vultured chronicles Starks' journey as he planned and operated his dream restaurant and performing arts venue, Wanderlust, and then tried to fend off one vulture after another as they attempted to eat his venture alive. The book serves as an exposé of these vultures living under the guise of contractors, manufacturers, lenders, licensers, distributors, and other unexpected partners with ulterior motives. In an effort to maximize profitability in the business-to-business (B2B) sector, any contractor or supporting business partners may be trying to scavenge your cash flow with unnecessary or over-priced products and services, thus leaving us "vultured." At times, small business owners experience the consequences of such vulturistic practices, which too often end in the death of a small business venture. Vultured seeks to help all novice business owners by providing first-hand account knowledge of business in the trenches to fend off those coming from the lair to unwittingly disrupt your potential success and avoid the same fate as Adam's dream turned nightmare.

Catholic Evangelization
Author: Steve Dawson
Publisher: Ignatius Press
ISBN: 1642292915
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
This book begins with the inspiring story of Steve Dawson - his dramatic conversion to Catholicism as a young man and his founding of St. Paul Street Evangelization, an international apostolate that has grown to hundreds of teams in seven countries in just a few years. Also included are other moving stories of conversion and witness. The authors are ordinary Catholics who have come to love Christ so much that they now talk about Him with total strangers in public places - street corners, parks, and shopping areas. They aren't theologians, nor are they highly trained apologists with Ambrosian rhetorical skills or Dale Carnegie slickness, yet their simple missionary efforts have yielded amazing results. The book's style is readable, accessible, and conversational. It illustrates the missionary calling of all baptized Christians, including Catholics. It reveals the joy and fulfillment that come to those who humbly yet boldly share the good news of God's mercy with others.
