Emotional Intelligence Power

Practical financial literacy knowledge for entrepreneurs and startups Bestselling author of the renowned Disciplined Entrepreneurship, Bill Aulet is back with Marius Ursache to deliver a vital, accessible (even fun!) and comprehensive understanding of financial terms and concepts that are essential to any entrepreneur looking to launch a new business venture. In Finance for Founders , the Disciplined Entrepreneurship series expands to show you how to manage the most fundamental aspect of your business-its money-so that you can focus on innovation and creating a unique value proposition, culture, and team. Disciplined Entrepreneurship: Finance for Founders teaches readers about: <ul> <li>The proper perspective a founder should have on finance as a priority for their business</li> <li>Demystifying financial statements so a founder is financial literate </li> <li>How to develop a financial model to generate projections of your business that provide insights, meaningful projections, and a potential path to greatness</li> <li>How to effectively present the results of your model</li> <li>How you should approach seeking the funding required for your startup including a systematic unemotional survey of the potential sources and the process of fundraising itself</li> <li>How to value your new startup</li> <li>Gems of wisdoms that you should know in the process that are not obvious to the first-time fundraiser</li> </ul> Disciplined Entrepreneurship: Finance for Founders does not aim to turn you into a seasoned finance professional or teach you tricks to make your business into something it's not. Instead, it's a must-read for all entrepreneurs and startup team members seeking to develop basic financial literacy and give their venture the best chance of success.

A NO-NONSENSE GUIDE FOR FIXING WORK'S BIGGEST TIME-WASTERS: MEETINGS. __________________________________________ "This book will help you turn meetings from a mindless drain into a strategic advantage" NIR EYAL "Grab a copy of this book before your next week of meetings begins!" REID HOFFMANN "Fantastic" STEVEN ROGELBERG "Meetings are broken. This book fixes them - if we care enough to take action" SETH GODIN __________________________________________ To anyone who has ever sat through a pointless meeting, wondering, "Why am I here?", this book is for you. And respectfully, it's also about you. Meetings are broken. They are relics from a bygone era, designed to issue orders, flaunt power, and keep the hierarchy intact. In today's digital, collaborate-or-bust era, this model isn't just inefficient, it actively harms employees and organisations. Drawing on decades of research and stories from leading companies like Google, Salesforce, Pixar, YouTube, and Dropbox, Your Best Meeting Ever provides a blueprint to transform your meetings from monotonous, soul-crushing time sinks into powerful tools for collaboration and innovation. The secret? Treat them like products. Using the seven product design principles, you'll turn your meetings into well-designed products that actually drive work forward and serve your most important users: the people in your organisation. Your Best Meeting Ever is the book every working professional and leader needs.

7 Principles for Designing Meetings That Get Things Done

Your Best Meeting Ever

This practical guide shows you how to build an effective compliance and ethics program that will lower a business's risks and improve productivity. Today's research is clear: companies that prioritize ethics and compliance don't just avoid risk-they gain a measurable edge in productivity and performance. This practical, updated guide shows business leaders, compliance officers, legal professionals, and students exactly how to achieve that advantage in today's complex regulatory landscape. Unlike broad overviews that stop at theory, this new edition delivers a step-by-step roadmap for building stronger, smarter compliance programs. The first half of the book equips readers with proven strategies to design or enhance internal compliance and ethics frameworks. The second half dives into high-risk regulatory areas-antitrust, international business, labor and wage laws, HIPAA and health care, environmental regulations, and more-offering clear explanations of the laws and actionable best practices to stay ahead of costly missteps. Whether you need to strengthen an existing program or build one from the ground up, this guide provides the essential tools to mitigate risk, meet regulatory demands, and unlock the productivity gains that come from doing business the right way.

Facilitator's Guide to Participatory Decision-Making

A challenge to incentivization as a dominant framework for understanding and governing people From corporate management and consumer behavior to public health and climate policy, incentives are widely treated as a neutral and effective way to shape how people act. In this book, Guus Dix shows that incentives are not simple policy nudges; they lull us into a passive understanding of ourselves as being merely responsive to changes others make to our environment. They foster a politics of incremental tweaks to a socially and ecologically destructive economic system that we are expected to accept without question. Dix argues that it is time to challenge the reign of incentives in contemporary science and public life. Dix traces the evolution of the incentive, from the engineering of performance charts and rewards for factory workers to combating gridlock at Britain’s National Health Service. He describes the function of incentives under socialism, theories of adjustment incentives developed at the Harvard Business School to manage employees, and incentivizing whole economies—both socialist and capitalist. He shows that incentivization is a distinct way of wielding power. Incentives have become part of a quasi-universal governing philosophy that keeps us from addressing such major issues as poverty and the climate crisis. Finally, Dix analyzes the limits of incentivization, arguing that being governed by incentives keeps us from considering government policies that have the potential to bring about meaningful and transformative change.
