Lessons on life and business you are guaranteed to find nowhere else.The true, larger-than-life story of George "Boe" Boedecker, his fire to succeed, his "don't just break the rules but make up new ones" attitude, his partners, his light bulb moment, the ridiculous origin story (of both shoe and man), and then the explosion (in more ways than one) of Crocs.This is a modern-day 'Big Fish' tale of lovers and haters, rivals and thieves, the hard partying, the strongest man in the world and the Mexican police, the fender bender with Fleetwood Mac and the enterprising way into the hearts of the San Francisco 49ers, the little boy lost and Superman, the millions made and just given away, and how it nearly destroyed him.Boe helped create the clunkiest - many would say ugliest - looking shoe in the world, which also became the best-selling non-sneaker brand on the planet. Everyone considered it a fad when he went public almost two decades ago - and it's bigger now than it's ever been, with billions and billions on feet in every corner of the world. More hated, more loved, never out of fashion. Ugly is beautiful... We're not talking about the shoe anymore.In Croc, Boe tells his wild story through lessons on life and leadership that you are guaranteed not to find anywhere else. Strap in because it's going to be a crazy ride, and you may be surprised at what you learn in the end. Funny, twisted, touching, exuberant. Sample lessons include: <ul><li>Do Not Listen to Anyone</li><li>When to Not Follow the Rules</li><li>Avoid Bosses</li><li>You Never Know When Opportunity Will Present Itself</li><li>If You Threaten to Kill Your Brother-in-Law, Do Not Provide Time and Place.</li><li>Ugly is Beautiful </li></ul>

Lessons on life and business you are guaranteed to find nowhere else.

Melting Point

A modern-day hero who works in the shadows and is not afraid to get his hands a little dirty, a little grease under his nails.

He does not fight crime, per se, like other superheroes, who are driven by personal tragedy to protect the innocent. Instead, he is driven by the need to improve his colleagues' circumstances.

Sully battles dysfunction and legacy processes with a sixth sense when he joins Dominion, a mammoth global telecommunications empire, where he faces subjective processes to take down multiple impediments to help his team.

Join Sully, originally from Boston, on this journey as he uses his years of experience coupled with multiple past and present mentors' lessons to work with a large team of 15 engineers, the worst in the division.

Sully inspires his coworkers to help him create an environment they want to come to every day and develop valuable product outcomes in flow, culminating in a team that emerges as a self-improving, high-performance unit, thanks to the Adaptability Scorecard(TM).

In only a few years' time, the team becomes 30% more Productive, and one that achieves 80% Predictability in producing valuable customer outcomes for 18 months straight! They become the best team in the division, possibly of all time at Dominion!

A Self-improving Team Story

The Process Mechanic(TM)

How 'sticky' is your organization?It's not enough to get good people through the door: the crucial question is how long they'll stay. When you lose hard-to-replace colleagues to competitors, self-employment, retirement or 'a better life', your business can quickly come unstuck.As a leader, it's your job to retain and motivate the people with the skills, expertise and commitment your business needs to win. So how do you create a 'sticky' organization that makes your most valued employees want to stay?You give them freedom.Helen Beedham unpacks this paradox in this insightful guide for CEOs, COOs, CPOs and any leader who wants to fuel growth and reduce risk and costs by retaining talented people. She shows how businesses that enjoy stellar rates of retention have freedom in their DNA and how you can develop this low-risk, win-win approach too.Discover: <ul> <li>The four freedoms that your organization should be offering.</li> <li>The anti-freedom forces at work that weaken your glue.</li> <li>How to measure your performance on the Freedom Index.</li> </ul>

Hold on to your best people by setting them free

Prominent scholars of Peace Journalism (PJ), Jake Lynch and Annabel McGoldrick, define the concept as "When editors and reporters make choices-about what to report, and how to report it-that create opportunities for society at large to consider and value non-violent responses to conflict." However, it has been challenged by media scholars, who argue that it is entirely "unfeasible" within the current media structure, "simplistic," and subjective. Others label it as journalism of "attachment" and "advocacy."
This edited volume challenges these critiques by providing empirical evidence that Peace Journalism is not only feasible but is already being practiced-particularly in digital media spaces. This well researched study presents nine quantitative studies exploring the extent of applying Peace Journalism (PJ) orientations in global, regional, and social media coverage of conflicts in the Middle East, the chapters also argue that such digital platforms can serve as tools for bridging the gap between conflicting parties, thereby promoting dialogue and peacebuilding.
Technological Innovation and Sustainability for Business Competitive Advantage highlights business problems faced by institutions in a scientific way, finding possible practical solutions. Contributing to setting and improving business theories and practices and encouraging scientific research in technological innovation and sustainability, volumes activate dialogue between academics, practitioners and individuals and provide recommendations to improve institutions.

Can Peace Journalism Flourish or Fade in Digital Media?

Adaptability Scorecard(TM)

For years, the story sounded simple.

The markets climbed.
Technology advanced.
Global wealth expanded.

The world was told it was winning.

But something felt off.

In London, young professionals with good jobs can't afford the city they work in.
In Paris, students march not for revolution - but for stability.
In Madrid, birth rates collapse as the future narrows.
In Sydney, families earn more than their parents did - and feel less secure.

The data says prosperity.
The culture says strain.

Confidence is thinning.
Institutions feel performative.
Community feels transactional.
The ladder still exists - but fewer believe it moves.

The receipts get longer. The horizon gets shorter.

The Final Bubble argues that the next correction won't be confined to markets.

It will expose something deeper:

A widening gap between value and values.
Between growth and meaning.
Between stability and belief.

The most dangerous bubbles are not built on speculation.

They're built on assumptions -
that the system will hold,
that the numbers reflect reality,
that tomorrow will expand faster than today contracts.

But when trust begins to thin, markets don't lead the crisis.

They reveal it.

This is not a book about panic.

It is a book about fragility - economic, cultural, psychological - and what survives when illusion no longer does.

Because illusions always end.

What survives is up to us.

When Trust, Meaning, and Identity Collapse, and What Survives When Illusions Die
