The Three Rules
Author: Michael E. Raynor
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101614323
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
Finally, an answer to the ultimate business question: How do some companies achieve exceptional performance over the long term? In every sector, there’s an outlier. In the pharmaceutical industry, it’s Merck. In discount retail, it’s Family Dollar. It used to be Wrigley in candy and Maytag in appliances. Other superstars have been hidden in plain sight, like Heartland Express in trucking or Linear Technology in semiconductors. How do these exceptional companies deliver superior performance over the long run despite facing the same constraints as competitors? What are they doing differently? What can we learn from them? Michael E. Raynor and Mumtaz Ahmed have analyzed data on more than 25,000 companies spanning forty-five years. Their five-year study began with a sophisticated statistical analysis to identify which companies have truly exceptional performance, 344 in all. In collaboration with teams of researchers, Raynor and Ahmed then put a carefully chosen representative sample of twenty-seven companies under the microscope to uncover what made the stand-out performers different. They found that exceptional companies, when faced with difficult decisions, follow three rules: Better before cheaper. They rarely compete on price. Revenue before cost. They drive profits through price and volume, not thrift. There are no other rules. Everything else is up for grabs, and they are willing to change anything to remain true to the first two rules. The rules provide an indispensable compass that any company can use to chart its own path to greatness. Is it better to keep price down or invest in creating value that commands a higher price? Should you focus on talent and developing the abilities of your people or build processes to extend the capabilities of your organization? How about acquiring a sizable competitor to secure economies of scale—or a small start-up to gain access to new technology? According to Raynor and Ahmed, the right answers to these and just about every other question are the ones most closely aligned with the rules. The Three Rules is built on a powerful combination of large-scale data analysis and in-depth case studies. Its guidance will increase the chance that your organization can become truly exceptional.

The Three-Second Rule

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
Did you ever wonder how long it took you to sum up the stranger who just walked into the room? Twenty seconds? Ten? What if it took just three? How accurate do you think that first, fleeting glance was, and more importantly, what would it take to make you change your mind? Disappearing was the only way Monique Vachon could stay alive. It was that, or a lifetime of servitude and a protracted, painful death. A decade later, an unexpected change of plan puts Monique in the wrong place at the wrong time. Her new life is in danger of being exposed as she unexpectedly finds her husband deep in conversation with undercover cop Nate Stelling. Shocked by the connection between the two men and fearful for her safety, Monique begins to question everything she knows about the man she loves. And as his behaviour pushes her further away, her resolve to hold on to the life she's worked so hard for rapidly dissolves, leaving her no choice. She runs. But this deal is just a way in for Nate, a gateway to a bigger score, and Monique is exactly the leverage he needs to get what he wants. Her absence isn't an option he's willing to accept, but his attempts to find her may just get her killed. From the verdant hills of the English South Downs to the untamed wilderness of Andalucía, Nate plays fast and loose with the rules as his life and the life of Monique, his best chance of success, fall hopelessly apart. The Three-Second Rule is the first book in the suspense noir Trilogy 'The Rules', where even those you trust the most will do anything they can to get what they want, whatever the cost.

Pages : 195
Book Description
Named one of 10 Best New Management Books for 2022 by Thinkers50 A Wall Street Journal Bestseller "...this guide provides readers with much more than just early careers advice; it can help everyone from interns to CEOs." — a Financial Times top title You've landed a job. Now what? No one tells you how to navigate your first day in a new role. No one tells you how to take ownership, manage expectations, or handle workplace politics. No one tells you how to get promoted. The answers to these professional unknowns lie in the unspoken rules—the certain ways of doing things that managers expect but don't explain and that top performers do but don't realize. The problem is, these rules aren't taught in school. Instead, they get passed down over dinner or from mentor to mentee, making for an unlevel playing field, with the insiders getting ahead and the outsiders stumbling along through trial and error. Until now. In this practical guide, Gorick Ng, a first-generation college student and Harvard career adviser, demystifies the unspoken rules of work. Ng distills the wisdom he has gathered from over five hundred interviews with professionals across industries and job types about the biggest mistakes people make at work. Loaded with frameworks, checklists, and talking points, the book provides concrete strategies you can apply immediately to your own situation and will help you navigate inevitable questions, such as: How do I manage my time in the face of conflicting priorities? How do I build relationships when I’m working remotely? How do I ask for help without looking incompetent or lazy? The Unspoken Rules is the only book you need to perform your best, stand out from your peers, and set yourself up for a fulfilling career.
