Evaluation of Small Business Support in Post-Apartheid South Africa

Was macht Unternehmerinnen und Unternehmer langfristig erfolgreich? Nicht allein Strategie, Kapital oder Marktkenntnis - sondern die Fähigkeit, zu entscheiden, gestalten und sich und andere zu führen. Das Unternehmer-Ich ist keine Rolle, die man im Beruf ausfüllt, sondern eine gelebte Identität, die sich aus Charakter, Werten und mentaler Widerstandskraft formt.
 

 Dieses Fachbuch verbindet Wirtschaftspsychologie, wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse und jahrzehntelange unternehmerische Erfahrung zu einem praxisnahen Wegweiser für Gründer, Führungskräfte und Entscheider. Steven Baumgaertner zeigt, wie Charakter, Resilienz, emotionale Intelligenz und mentale Stärke die Qualität von Entscheidungen, Führung und Zusammenarbeit prägen.
 

 Im Mittelpunkt stehen die zentralen Fragen moderner Unternehmensführung: Wie bewahre ich Klarheit in Krisen? Wie gehe ich konstruktiv mit Fehlern, Stress und Unsicherheit um? Wie verbinde ich Intuition und Analyse, persönliche Werte und wirtschaftliche Verantwortung?
 

 Reflexionsfragen, die zur Selbstbeobachtung anregen, und konkrete Übungen helfen dabei, blinde Flecken zu erkennen, die eigene Selbstwirksamkeit zu stärken und eine authentische, sinnorientierte Führungspersönlichkeit zu entwickeln.

Das Unternehmer-Ich – Wie Charakter, Resilienz und Selbstführung nachhaltigen Erfolg ermöglichen

Humanity's most spectacular era yet is increasingly within reach.So why are we doing everything we can to hold it back?The bestselling author of The Rational Optimist delivers a daring vision of the future - one that is potentially dazzling, but only if we stop sleepwalking into self-inflicted decline.We're on the brink of a truly spectacular explosion of productivity and prosperity, argues Matt Ridley, thanks to a combination of artificial intelligence, material science and genomic knowledge that is unprecedented in its scope and implications. With characteristic wit and ferocity, he confronts the irrational pessimism that dominates public discourse and examines the bureaucratic bloat, regulatory overreach, ideological superstition and crony capitalism that stand in the way.Optimistic in conclusion but unsparing in its analysis, The Flourishing is a rousing call to achieve and innovate by refusing to settle for a merely adequate future when a magnificent one is within reach.

The Rational Pessimist

Act on 8 percent understanding and build unstoppable momentum from scratch In Unready: The Suprising Advantage of Acting Before You Feel Ready, Soulaima Gourani, a serial tech entrepreneur, Fortune 500 advisor, World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, and venture partner in the space and defense industry, shares the unconventional operating principle behind her rise from seventh-grade dropout to Silicon Valley founder who raised millions in VC funding and won Best AI Product of 2024. Drawing on her own journey and six years of her weekly podcast interviews with global leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, and changemakers, Gourani introduces the 8% Rule: if you understand eight percent of a situation, that is enough to act. Rather than waiting for perfect information, she demonstrates how action creates momentum and how courage outperforms credentials. The book provides a framework for operating boldly when you feel underqualified, underfunded, or underestimated by those around you. Readers will also discover: <ul> <li>How to convert incomplete knowledge into decisive action using the 8% Rule as your operating framework</li> <li>Strategies for building momentum and winning against the odds when resources and credentials are limited</li> <li>Real-world lessons from Gourani's journey raising millions in VC funding and building an award-winning AI company</li> <li>Techniques for overcoming the paralysis of waiting for perfect information before committing to bold moves</li> <li>Practical guidance on prioritizing courage over credentials and choosing action over analysis in high-stakes situations</li> </ul> Unready belongs on the shelf of entrepreneurs, founders, aspiring leaders, and anyone who has ever felt underqualified or underestimated. Gourani's hard-won framework turns uncertainty into a launchpad for decisive, momentum-building action that defies conventional expectations.

The Surprising Advantage of Acting Before You Feel Ready

Unready

Anyone can be a contrarian. Effective leaders are smart about when--and how--they go against conventional wisdom to succeed.Contrarians are, by and large, ineffective. Their countervailing ideas don't gain support. Their pleas for understanding are dismissed. Their efforts to change minds backfire. But it's not because they're always wrong. It's because they're not smart about going against the grain. People tend to think of contrarianism as some innate trait that you either have or you don't. It's not. It's a way of thinking and a set of skills that can be learned and practiced.This provocative and deeply researched book teaches those skills. Strategy scholars Chengwei Liu and Balázs Kovács reveal how exceptional performance is far less predictable--and far less meritocratic--than most people believe. Drawing on insights from behavioral science, business strategy, finance, sports, entertainment, and entrepreneurship, they show how luck, social dynamics, institutional conformity, and hidden biases shape who succeeds, who fails, and which ideas rise to the top.The authors uncover why consensus thinking so often leads organizations and leaders astray through fascinating stories ranging from PSY's "Gangnam Style" to the rise of Capital One to venture capital bets, celebrity CEOs, financial collapses, and viral cultural phenomena. They introduce a powerful framework for spotting overlooked opportunities, avoiding costly decision traps, and building organizations that learn faster than their competitors do.Leaders and professionals who thrive are not reckless rebels or irrational gamblers but disciplined, smart contrarians who know how to separate signal from hype, skill from luck, and genuine innovation from fashionable noise.Fresh and highly original--and a joy to read--Smart Contrarians is the guide for executives, leaders, entrepreneurs, and all ambitious professionals who want to zig when everyone else zags.

The Business of Freedom tells the story of Black enterprise through the lives of the people who built it. Some, like Booker T. Washington and Madam C. J. Walker, are familiar figures in the history of Black business. But many are lesser-known strivers whose ambitions briefly illuminated the possibilities of the age. From the hopeful dawn of emancipation to the bustle of Harlem, award-winning historian Shennette Garrett-Scott follows Black entrepreneurs who carved opportunity out of exclusion to build banks, grocery stores, cotton mills, and real estate empires. Their successes were real, but so were the limits imposed by segregation, unequal access to capital, and the violence that shadowed Black prosperity. The Business of Freedom reveals Black capitalism as a strategy for both individual and collective empowerment-and shows why free enterprise alone could never deliver the freedom its champions promised.

A rollicking, eye-opening history of the Star Wars franchise: an unrivaled force in popular culture that changed the way Hollywood makes movies—and that is now imperiled by many of the industry forces it set in motion From the premiere of the first film in 1977, the Star Wars franchise not only captured the imaginations of billions of people—and&nbsp;billions&nbsp;of dollars of revenue—but also rewrote the rules of the entertainment industry. Game-changing special effects, must-have collectibles, and the richness of George Lucas’s ever-expanding narrative&nbsp;gave rise to a new Hollywood model in which the boundary between screen and life collapsed. Star Wars wasn’t just a movie, after all: it was&nbsp;an alternate universe, a moral code, a way of life. Over the last half-century, Wall Street Journal reporter Erich Schwartzel explains, the Star Wars franchise has relied on an anti-establishment ethos, the savvy of executives, and the devotion of moviegoers to become a new American myth. But since its fateful acquisition by Disney in 2012, Star Wars has become a cautionary tale of Hollywood excess, and its present status as a corporate holding bears little resemblance to its origins. Drawing on scores of insider interviews and surveying fifty years of American culture and commerce, Schwartzel delivers fresh perspective on the Star Wars story, bringing to life the scrappy creative spirit of Lucasfilm’s early days; the box-office frenzy that rang in Hollywood’s blockbuster era and gave rise to a new industry playbook; and the scores of fans whose lives have been shaped by this singular force. A panoramic narrative of dreams, obsession, and power, Rebels and Empires is the untold history of Hollywood’s most storied epic.

Predictable Profits

Amid unprecedented growth in electricity demand and the rapid buildout of digital infrastructure, energy has become a strategic imperative. A visionary entrepreneur and energy industry pioneer, Michael Polsky has spent the last half-century at the forefront of the innovation, technology, and market shifts that define the energy landscape. With only $500 in cash, four suitcases, and a few words of English, Polsky immigrated to the US from Soviet Ukraine in 1976. Over the next 25 years, he built two successful energy companies before founding Invenergy in 2001. Since then, the company has grown into North America's largest independent energy developer, owner, and operator. Polsky has navigated all forms of politicization and uncertainty to achieve singular scale in the industry, having developed more than 230 projects, including some of the most complex energy infrastructure in the world. Reflecting on his remarkable journey, Polsky draws on his experience across nearly every energy technology to provide a firsthand account of the profound transformation underway. Inexhaustible is a story of deep determination and relentless effort, presenting a pragmatic vision for the future of American energy--and what it will take for us to achieve true energy independence.

My Journey Into the Future of Energy

Inexhaustible

Every leader knows the drain of conflict handled badly: performance conversations that go nowhere, teams that don't trust each other, fires you keep putting out instead of doing the work you want to do. Most leadership advice treats conflict as a threat to manage. This book makes the opposite case: Conflict is energy, and how you use it determines whether it builds your team or turns your work culture toxic. That choice has never mattered more. Employees now spend over a third of their workday dealing with conflict, and fewer than half trust their leader to navigate it well. Leaders who don't handle conflict skillfully create workplaces with 80 percent more unproductive conflict. Ninety-four percent of people trained in this framework rate it more effective than anything else they've used. What makes this different from the standard playbook for “difficult conversations”? Most frameworks ask you to choose: kind or direct, relationship or results. This book rejects that trade-off: Compassion without accountability is ineffective, and accountability without it is unkind. This book shows how to hold both, using the compassion cycle, the drama triangle it replaces, and the ORPO formula, turning principle into a repeatable playbook. The book moves in three parts: first naming the problem, how good intentions and unmanaged conflict energy spiral into drama; then introducing the antidote, the compassion cycle and the behavioral skills that interrupt drama before it takes hold; and finally handing you the playbook, the ORPO formula and match-and-move method for engaging conflict and coaching others through it in real time. New to this edition: <ul><li>A complete framework outline up front</li><li>Fifteen years of refinement teaching, coaching, and certifying practitioners worldwide</li><li>New research on what skilled conflict leadership is worth</li><li>Reorganized chapters, more-inclusive language, fresh real-life illustrations</li><li>Access to the Compassionate Accountability Assessment and a range of additional resources to extend the book's impact well beyond the page</li></ul> Written by Nate Regier, PhD, cofounder and CEO of Next Element Consulting, this book distills two decades of applied research into a model any leader can use the next time conflict shows up, which will be soon.

How to Lead at Every Level

The Book of Leadership (Revised Edition)

Adam Kahane, bestselling author of Collaborating with the Enemy, shows how justice helps families, organizations, communities, and nations repair broken relationships and live together better. A practical guide to using justice as the lever for balancing power and love in a world that is falling apart. We are always falling apart and coming together. In families, workplaces, communities, and nations, people pull back into smaller camps, harden boundaries, or force unity that leaves too many voices unheard. Adam Kahane names the twin traps of combat and subordination and offers a practical way to steer between them: the justice lever. Drawing on thirty-five years of work with divided groups around the world, along with intimate stories from family life and public life, Kahane defines justice as a functional tool. Justice is the container made of rules, norms, agreements, structures, and relationships that allows people to be both separate and together. Readers will learn how to <ul><li>recognize when relationships are slipping into combat or subordination;</li><li>harness power, the drive to realize ourselves;</li><li>harness love, the drive to unite with others;</li><li>construct justice containers that make collaboration and cohabitation possible; and</li><li>repair cracked containers in families, teams, organizations, communities, and public life.</li></ul> Brief and clear, with unforgettable stories from global peace work, climate negotiations, Indigenous health, family life, and organizational repair, this book gives readers a way to start repairing what is cracking right where they are.

A Theory and Practice of Love, Power, and Justice

Falling Apart and Coming Together

For American workers, the social contract is broken. This book gives a firsthand view of where the breaks occurred, and a prescription for rebuilding it to give workers their due. With AI making the decisions and CEOs and moguls making the money, sometimes it seems that most workers today might as well be drones. If not for a long string of missed opportunities over the last 50 years, it might have been different. In Roads Not Taken, Thomas Kochan reviews the turning points where the social contract fractured and broke, reducing workers’ voices as well as their compensation, benefits, and status. And in the lessons learned from these historical examples, he identifies the foundation for building a new labor relations system that ensures workers will share in the benefits from AI and puts America on course for an innovative and durable social contract at work. As a longtime advisor to government, labor, and management leaders, Kochan offers an eyewitness perspective on the mounting mistakes made in America’s labor relations system beginning, roughly, with Ronald Reagan’s firing of striking air traffic controllers in 1981. His book makes a strong case for new strategies on the part of labor unions and other worker advocacy groups, business, and government—strategies not wedded to the legacy labor law and practice that have failed American workers for so long. Recasting the social contract on this basis, Kochan insists, is key to rebuilding our democracy and its institutions after the damage wrought in recent years.
