Olivia H: CEO Yourself

CEO Yourself

In a career that has seen him face coup leaders in his native Ivory Coast and lead some of the most prestigious Western financial institutions, Tidjane Thiam has blazed a trail through African and European politics and business.In a career that has seen him face coup leaders in his native Ivory Coast and lead some of the most prestigious Western financial institutions, Tidjane Thiam has blazed a trail through African and European politics and business.After a childhood in tumultuous west and north Africa, Thiam broke barriers in the elitist world of French higher education, becoming one of the first black consultants at McKinsey and Company before entering the Ivorian government. After a coup forced him into exile, he joined the world of finance, where his rise saw him named as CEO of Prudential in London and Credit Suisse in Zurich. Along the way, he was trained and supported by many both in the public and private sector who made his many achievements as a leader possible. However, his rise to prominence as the only African, black and Muslim boss of large Western corporations was also accompanied with disproportionate public and media scrutiny, as well as racism and xenophobia.A blend of autobiography, business, politics, and personal philosophy, his book offers a unique vantage point on corporate and political life in Africa, Europe, the United States and Asia. In a story that spans from his father's politically motivated imprisonment to the business principles that took Thiam to the top of global finance, he shares a personal and professional story that is equal parts inspirational and aspirational.

Managing the Future

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.

Critical University Studies

How the cult of capitalism reshaped the American university--and hollowed it out from within.Over the past several decades, American universities have been remade as engines of entrepreneurial ambition. Technology transfer offices, business incubators, pitch competitions, innovation hubs, and leadership centers now sit at the heart of campus life, radically altering how institutions describe their purpose, structure curricula, and imagine student success. The Start-Up Factory argues that this shift has come at a steep cost.James Rushing Daniel traces the rise of entrepreneurialism in higher education and shows how universities came to embrace the figure of the founder as both ideal and benefactor. Business leaders--many of them major donors--are celebrated as singular visionaries, their values imported into academic life and framed as models for intellectual work. This reverence, Daniel argues, has narrowed the university's sense of public responsibility for distorted academics, and transformed institutions into finishing schools for aspiring entrepreneurs. Moving across policy and historical documents, institutional rhetoric, teaching materials, site visits, and interviews, The Start-Up Factory documents how entrepreneurial thinking has reshaped the pedagogy, culture, and mission of the American university.The consequences of this entrepreneurial focus extend far beyond campuses. By promoting the myth of the self-made billionaire, universities help legitimize extreme inequality and normalize forms of power that undermine democratic life. At a moment of deep institutional crisis, when the influence of the billionaire class on college campuses is increasingly absolute and the future of higher education is uncertain, The Start-Up Factory offers a clear-eyed account of how universities arrived here--and why reclaiming their autonomy has become an urgent task.

Why unfettered free-market capitalism endangers democracy—and what to do about it. In Private Power and Democracy’s Decline, Mordecai Kurz explores the relationship between free-market capitalism and democracy. He shows that technology has made capitalism different from what was envisioned in the Age of Enlightenment. Technology creates centers of market power and monopoly concentration that result in a society in which some people are enriched immensely while many workers’ livelihoods are often destroyed. Contrary to conventional thinking, technological competition does not remove market power, which becomes a permanent fixture of free-market capitalism. Such private power creates political inequality and generates forces that cause democracy’s decline and possible destruction. Applying these ideas to the US, Kurz shows that today’s problems begin in the 1980s with the policy of unregulated free-market capitalism. Coupled with the information technology revolution, this created a techno-winner-takes-all economy—leading to a second Gilded Age of unsustainable inequality and extreme political polarization. In the last 50 years, the economy “boomed” for some while leaving the majority of America’s workers behind. Kurz concludes that only regulated capitalism can support democracy so that the benefits of technology are more equally shared and no person’s livelihood is destroyed to enable others to be enriched. To save democracy, he proposes a “restoration-of-livelihood” policy, offering firms managerial flexibility to maintain rising productivity while ensuring that technology does not destroy the livelihood of others.

Do more with your money. Use it to flourish.Traditional personal finance books mostly accept the same goals for all people: make as much money as possible, fund a college education for your kids, save for retirement. These books mechanistically advise readers to budget, take out a mortgage, open savings vehicles, and so on--without much thought as to who we are as individuals.But is that all? Will that formula make people happy?To achieve a more meaningful life, one must address the role that money plays in it. In this book, investor, author, and speaker John Coleman offers a new mindset around personal finance, one that puts purpose at its core. It provides a six-part framework for using money properly to lead a financial life of flourishing: <ul><li>Change how you think about money.</li><li>Choose a job that earns with purpose.</li><li>Spend and consume wisely.</li><li>Use your means to help others.</li><li>Invest for maximum impact.</li><li>Save for freedom, not retirement.</li></ul>Using firsthand interviews and examples, Good Money walks through each of these steps, providing helpful--and sometimes counterintuitive--advice on how to use your wealth to flourish and find greater meaning, now and long into the future.

Creative thinking, which the most successful companies that develop the most innovative products rely on, has evolved into to creative resilience - the technique to persevere with problems and solve them faster. The approach will help business leaders create both the physical and mental agility to build an operating environment that supports successful ideation and adopts different ways of approaching complex problems. The reader will become more 'creatively resilient' and flexible to adopt non-habitual modes of thought that move them towards creative solutions that they can apply to very specific business and technical challenges. The basic framework is called 'Stormblending' - a four-phased approach that focuses on a collection of different tools that can be applied to deliver the value from each phase. The four phases are presented in the context of the full product development lifecycle. They are: <ol> <li>Immersion (Ethnographically inspired Contextual Inquiry/Voice of customer). </li> <li>Representation (How to best represent and frame specific problems and opportunities to create the right conditions for successful idea generation). </li> <li>Divergent thinking techniques to disrupt and reframe the problem as the reader will learn how to adopt non-habitual modes of thought. </li> <li>Emergence and Discovery (this when most we experience the 'A-Ha!' moment) </li> </ol>Traditionally, most companies make the mistake of stressing ideation only without thought to how the ideas are then prioritised, built upon, and turned into a reality for profitable growth. Practitioners and business professionals, from start-ups to global corporations, will gain an initial overview on creativity, the purpose of ideation, and what it means to translate insights into innovation in real-time - in the boardroom, during periods of introspection, or during the facilitation of cross functional teams and workshops that demand the specialist skills provided in this book.
