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.

There has been an increasing movement to place results at the heart of the agenda for social investments and development. Though development has a compelling value proposition a year of life can often be saved for a few hundred dollars there is skepticism to its ability to measure and manage programs for results. It is this skepticism which is at the heart of debates on the future of development. Managing Development for Results describes the results agenda in development, measurement and management approaches, and challenges on the ground. It is an easily accessible book which provides a comprehensive view on the innovative approach used to demonstrate compelling development results. The first section of the book covers the history and key components of the results agenda. The second section assesses how this is put into practice with innovative examples from global initiatives, foundations, civil society, private sector and country case studies. Finally, the book assesses the future role of the results-based agenda for a wide variety of development actors. It argues that results provide a "common currency" to coordinate and focus increasingly diverse partners on the core value of development, and communicate this to a wider audience. How results are built into development programs and the future development agenda will be illustrated as well. This book aims to target a wide audience in development, practitioners internationally and locally, management, business and philanthropy and those interested in international relations. It would also aim to appeal to a general audience interested in the future of development and whether it can achieve compelling results.

Scale your business and gain the freedom you dreamed of as a founder. Chuck is exhausted. The company he founded has a superior product and was gaining traction. Now, sales are slipping, his executive team is falling apart, and he can't remember the last time he made it home for dinner. How long can this last? But then Chuck meets the right mentor. Harper owns a bar that doesn't seem special, but beneath the surface it is just one piece of a wealth-producing empire. Harp has cracked the code for scaling businesses without sacrificing everything else in life. More than a modest bartender, Harp is about to share the secret to his success. It all starts with Chuck asking a deceptively simple question: "How do customers happen?" Over a series of late-night conversations, Harp reveals a growth operating system that busts myths about strategic planning, holds people accountable for the business drivers that truly matter, and rallies executive teams around a common goal. Equal parts gripping fable and vital business playbook, the tools in The Million Dollar Napkin are real, tested, and proven. Entrepreneur, investor, founder, and CEO Ryan Deiss is an expert on scaling and customer value optimization. His system works for his companies, it works for Chuck, and it will work for you.
