About the Book: Companies that are experiencing success are invariably the ones most vulnerable to failure. As businesses achieve success, there is a tendency for managers to become complacent, believing their prosperity will continue unchanged and unchallenged. Worst of all, success feeds vanity, producing a force that opposes change. In the meantime, competitors catch up and threaten their position. To avoid the trap of success, companies must constantly regenerate themselves, ready to always change a winning team. This fascinating and important book explores the extent to which people in organisations are prepared to change and the consequences this has for management. To adapt and improve is a significant, conscious choice that an individual makes for himself. Therefore, for sustained success, leadership has to be based on values and trust working alongside financial and social imperatives. This book provides a strong warning about corporate complacency and what can be done to keep winning.

Always Change A Winning Team

About the Book: Everyone has his or her own style at work. But if you look at the people who are really successful, you will see similarities. They always do the most important things first – they know how to prioritize. The kinds of qualities and habits they adopt are in fact crucial to any successful career and life. By pursuing them regularly, you and your company are more likely to get ahead. In this US bestseller, the author spells out exactly how to practise the fundamentals of business success. Based on decades of experience working with managers and executives, Levine sets out six fundamentals – add value, communicate well, deliver results, act with integrity, invest in relationships, gain perspective – and brings them to life through dozens of pithy, to-the-point rules that makes the book so practical and useful.

About the Book: Learning and discovering new insights is the key to delivering real business and personal benefits. Continually discovering new and better ways of doing things will energise you and enable you to achieve a more successful, productive and satisfying work-life balance. In this book, John Drysdale provides a highly original and practical framework to develop your abilities. Instead of the traditional methods of learning (ie, training courses, business schools), the author offers a new and “closer to home” way of self-development. Some of the most fruitful and rewarding paths to discovery and learning in fact reside in unexpected places – in theatre, literature, music, art, sport and in the achievements of others (explorers, statesmen). Learning from these experiences and examples takes you to places outside of your current (business) world, thus making discovery more enriching and interesting. It also develops within you the ability to take new perspectives on problems and issues at work.

The 2012 London Olympics provided some of the best examples of the personal impact of the athletes. The impact for some resulted from leading from the front, for others the impact resulted from following and then choosing their moment to exert their authority. However, the impact for all the competitors resulted from their preparation and their ability to take decisions in the moment. They had to prepare physically, mentally and emotionally. Their performance resulted from their attitude of mind as well as their physical preparedness. Our personal impact flows from clarity about who we are, what we stand for, where we place our priorities, when we choose to act, and understanding why we respond in a particular way. Crucial to personal impact is knowing ourselves and our preferences well, knowing how we contribute effectively, and knowing what our end goals are. Personal impact is all about delivering outcomes. However elegant our attempt at personal impact, if there is no outcome, then our impact may have been irrelevant. A key starting point is what is the outcome you want to achieve after considering realistically, and boldly what might be possible. This book invites you to think through the personal impact you want to have, and gives prompts for thought and practical pointers. The 100 ideas encourage you to think positively about what you are seeking to build, how you intend to be, and what you intend to do and not do. It provides pointers about what you might demonstrate, share, ensure, remember and create.

Having trouble chasing down invoices? Let the cash flow . . . Any business that allows their customers credit terms will invariably run into late or non-payments. This affects cash flow and business viability. However, as the authors show, customers that are solvent will pay some suppliers every month, even if they don't pay everyone. So how do you ensure you are "first in line" to get paid? This book examines the strategies that work - and those that don't. The authors introduce a simple but highly effective model, the Virtuous Revenue Cycle, that shows readers how to cultivate business relationships that keep the cash flowing. The strategies are highly practical, down to advice on just how to phrase those tricky emails reminding customers to pay up!
