Описание: Learn how to take the bold yet intelligent risks that will help you thrive in business--and in life. How can you challenge and change yourself when you need it most? We're creatures of habit, programmed by evolution to favor the safe and familiar, especially when the stakes are high. This bias no longer serves us in a world of constant change. In fact, today, safe thinking has become extremely dangerous. Through stories of trailblazers in business, health, education and activism, and leveraging decades of research into creativity and performance, Jonah Sachs reveals a path to higher performance and creativity for anyone ready to step out of their comfort zone. He introduces troublemakers willing to challenge corporate culture like the executive who convinced CVS to drop its multibillion-dollar tobacco business. She now leads the pharmacy giant. Readers will get firsthand accounts of breaking from the status quo from a Nobel prize winning doctor who nearly got himself thrown out medicine, a two-time NBA championship coach who brought joy back to his team by tuning down the focus on competition, a CEO who rebuilt her reputation and life from the ashes from one of the biggest flops in internet history and a Colombian mayor who started an incredibly successful career of political reform by mooning an angry crowd. Unsafe Thinking is full of counter-intuitive insights that will challenge you to rethink how you work. You'll learn:
Why your area of deep expertise is often where you'll find your biggest blind spots
Why anxiety can be fuel for creativity
When to trust intuition and when to challenge it
How collaborating only with those that share your values stunts your creativity
How to build an organization that embraces intelligent risk.
An inspiring and accessible read, Unsafe Thinking has the power to change both the way you approach your work and your life.
Описание: Hospitality guru Dan Sachs, consultant to the likes of Danny Meyers, interviews business leaders at highly successful companies nationwide to reveal their proven, but little-known practices for high profit and employee loyalty at no or little cost to the business owner, and what practices are critical for all businesses to implement today.
For more than twenty years, Dan Sachs has helped established and emerging businesses implement simple hospitality practices that grow profits quickly and create a culture of employee satisfaction and retention. In The Million Dollar Greeting, readers accompany Sachs as he travels across the United States, interviewing leaders from giants like Zappos and Hyatt Hotels to smaller names like Brooklyn Brewery and the Union Square Hospitality Group, to expose their proven practices for this and share how readers can easily implement the practices in their own business, no matter its industry, size, or location.
The original words of the business owners, including their practices, many of which are told for the very first time, are shared and analyzed by Sachs. Instructional takeaways are written for the business world as it exists in 2018 and with consideration for expected changes over the coming years. Topics covered include answering the question of what modern-day hospitality is and why it matters in the digital age; what hospitality practices lead to high financial rewards and the retention of top employees; the best ways to manage employees of all ages, from baby boomers to millenials, generations X and Y; what hospitality practices are critical now, capable of making or breaking a company; what practices are dated and should be ended; and what practices will grow increasingly critical for businesses to implement over the coming years.
