The Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz
The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (A Toltec Wisdom Book)
Sit
at the foot of a native elder and listen as great wisdom of days long
past is passed down. In The Four Agreements shamanic teacher and healer
Don Miguel Ruiz exposes self-limiting beliefs and presents a simple yet
effective code of personal conduct learned from his Toltec ancestors.
Full of grace and simple truth, this handsomely designed book makes a
lovely gift for anyone making an elementary change in life, and it reads
in a voice that you would expect from an indigenous shaman. The four
agreements are these: Be impeccable with your word. Don't take anything
personally. Don't make assumptions. Always do your best. It's the how
and why one should do these things that make The Four Agreements worth
reading and remembering. --P. Randall Cohan
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand 1957
The
book explores a dystopian United States where many of society's
wealthiest citizens refuse to pay increasingly high taxes, reject
government regulations and disappear, shutting down their vital
industries. The disappearances evoke the imagery of what would happen if
the mythological Atlas refused to continue to hold up the sky.
Three Laws of Performance
The Three Laws of Performance: Rewriting the Future of Your Organization and Your Life by Steve Zaffron
A proven system for rallying all of an organizations' employees around a new vision and ideas for making the vision stick
When
something at work isn't going smoothly, managers struggle with what
part of the problem to tackle first. Do they start with cost reduction?
Or should they go for process improvements first? The authors—who have
helped hundreds of companies and individuals change and improve—say
spend time and money adjusting the systems in which people operate,
rather than targeting people and their performance directly. The authors
show that it's in fact possible to change everything at once—with a
focus on making such transformations permanent and repeatable.
Brand-new Introduction written for the paperback edition
Filled with illustrative examples from Northrup Grumman, BHP-Billiton, Reebok, Harvard Business School, and many others
Two experts in the field show how to make major transformations happen
The
book outlines a process for engaging all employees to buy-in to an
improved vision of an organization's new and improved future.
