Die Organisationsform des Konzerns hat nur dann eine
Existenzberechtigung, wenn sie mehr Wert schafft als es die
einzelnen Konzerntochter ohne vereinendes Konzerndach konnten.
Dieses Buch zeigt auf, was Mehrwert fur den Konzern bedeutet und
welche massgebliche Rolle Synergien dabei spielen. Dazu wechseln
die Autorinnen von der Organisations- in eine
Ressourcenperspektive. Sie entwickeln ein neues
Analyseinstrumentarium fur das Konzernmanagement: das Spektrum an
Corporate Commons. Das sind konzernspezifische Kollektivressourcen
als die entscheidende Grundlage zur Ausschopfung von
Mehrwertpotenzialen. Die Herausforderung besteht darin, Strategien
fur die Bereitstellung, Teilung und Nutzung dieser Corporate
Commons zu gestalten. Zahlreiche praktische Fallbeispiele
illustrieren verschiedene Formen von Corporate Commons. Konkrete
Gestaltungsempfehlungen geben neue Impulse fur ein zeitgemasses
Konzernmanagement."
Der Wandel der unternehmerischen Rahmenbedingungen hat in den
letzten Jahren deutlich an Dynamik und Komplexitat gewonnen. Gerade
in turbulenten Zeiten ist das konsequente Management von
Personalrisiken unabdingbar, um den Unternehmenserfolg nachhaltig
zu sichern. Weitblickende Unternehmen erkennen die Bedeutung des
Personals als zentralen Wettbewerbsfaktor, richten ihr
Personalmanagement auf wertschopfende Aktivitaten aus und binden
das Personalressort in die strategische Fuhrung ein. Martin Klaffke
stellt in diesem Praktiker-Handbuch Konzepte, Instrumente und
Best-Practice-Ansatze fur ein Aktionsprogramm zur Fruherkennung,
Steuerung und Bewaltigung personalwirtschaftlicher Risiken vor. Bei
den Beitragsautoren handelt es sich um Entscheider aus dem
Personalbereich namhafter Unternehmen und Institutionen (u.a.
Deutsche Lufthansa, Bundesagentur fur Arbeit, ThyssenKrupp,
Commerzbank) sowie um Berater mit Spezialisierung im Arbeitsrecht
bzw. im Personalmanagement."
The New Psychology of Selling The sales profession is in the midst
of a perfect storm. Buyers have more power more information, more
at stake, and more control over the sales process than any time in
history. Technology is bringing disruptive change at an
ever-increasing pace, creating fear and uncertainty that leaves
buyers clinging to the status quo. Deteriorating attention spans
have made it difficult to get buyers to sit still long enough to
challenge, teach, help, give insight, or sell value. And a
relentless onslaught of me-too competitors have made
differentiating on the attributes of products, services, or even
price more difficult than ever. Legions of salespeople and their
leaders are coming face to face with a cold hard truth: what once
gave salespeople a competitive edge controlling the sales process,
command of product knowledge, an arsenal of technology, and a great
pitch are no longer guarantees of success. Yet this is where the
vast majority of the roughly $20 billion spent each year on sales
training goes. It s no wonder many companies are seeing 50 percent
or more of their salespeople miss quota. Yet, in this new paradigm,
an elite group of top 1 percent sales professionals are crushing
it. In our age of technology where information is ubiquitous and
buyer attention spans are fleeting, these superstars have learned
how to leverage a new psychology of selling Sales EQ to keep
prospects engaged, create true competitive differentiation, as well
as shape and influence buying decisions. These top earners are
acutely aware that the experience of buying from them is far more
important than products, prices, features, and solutions. In Sales
EQ, Jeb Blount takes you on an unprecedented journey into the
behaviors, techniques, and secrets of the highest earning
salespeople in every industry and field. You ll learn: * How to
answer the 5 Most Important Questions in Sales to make it virtually
impossible for prospects to say no * How to master 7 People
Principles that will give you the power to influence anyone to do
almost anything * How to shape and align the 3 Processes of Sales
to lock out competitors and shorten the sales cycle * How to Flip
the Buyer Script to gain complete control of the sales conversation
* How to Disrupt Expectations to pull buyers towards you, direct
their attention, and keep them engaged * How to leverage
Non-Complementary Behavior to eliminate resistance, conflict, and
objections * How to employ the Bridge Technique to gain the
micro-commitments and next steps you need to keep your deals from
stalling * How to tame Irrational Buyers, shake them out of their
comfort zone, and shape the decision making process * How to
measure and increase you own Sales EQ using the 15 Sales Specific
Emotional Intelligence Markers * And so much more! Sales EQ begins
where The Challenger Sale, Strategic Selling, and Spin Selling
leave off. It addresses the human relationship gap in the modern
sales process at a time when sales organizations are failing
because many salespeople have never been taught the human skills
required to effectively engage buyers at the emotional level. Jeb
Blount makes a compelling case that sales specific emotional
intelligence (Sales EQ) is more essential to success than
education, experience, industry awareness, product knowledge,
skills, or raw IQ; and, sales professionals who invest in
developing and improving Sales EQ gain a decisive competitive
advantage in the hyper-competitive global marketplace. Sales EQ
arms salespeople and sales leaders with the tools to identify their
most important sales specific emotional intelligence developmental
needs along with strategies, techniques, and frameworks for
reaching ultra-high performance and earnings, regardless of sales
process, industry, deal complexity, role (inside or outside),
product or service (B2B or B2C).
WINNER: Independent Press Award 2022 - Business Motivational What
do astronauts, Olympic champions, and Nobel laureates do
differently that allows them to achieve at such a high level? High
achievers share the same four attributes: intrinsic motivation,
perseverance, strong foundation, constantly learning through
informal means. The key to their success is that they do all four
of these things at the same time. Based on research and in-person
interviews with astronauts, Nobel Prize winners, and Olympic
champions, The Success Factor outlines the approach that
individuals aspiring to improve their performance can adopt. Using
these four shared attributes as a guide, The Success Factor helps
you reach your peak by applying the lessons of high achievers in
your own life: identify your passion using a Passion Audit; learn
how and where to find a mentor and how to build a mentoring team;
develop your own community of practice; pursue your interests
through informal learning; manage your time and energy. The Success
Factor comes with online resources that feature a downloadable
Passion Audit worksheet, Mentoring Team worksheet, and Goal Audit
worksheet. The book offers scripts for approaching potential
mentors and a list of uncommon places to find a mentor, such as
webinars, airports, and social media. The Success Factor features
exclusive interviews with high achievers, including such people as
Dr. Tony Fauci NIH/NIAID Institute Director; Dr Mike Brown, Nobel
prize winner; Dr Peggy Whitson, Former NASA Chief Astronaut; Maxine
Clark, founder and former CEO of Build-A-Bear Workshop; and Steve
Kerr, eight time NBA Champion and head coach of the Golden State
Warriors.

WorkLife "THE MOST UNLIKELY OF PEOPLE, IN THE MOST IMPROBABLE OF
CIRCUMSTANCES, CAN BECOME EXTRAORDINARY." From socio-political
chaos and workplace disruption to the climate change crisis, we
have never needed people with the skill and will to collaborate to
create a better world more than now. We need people who are willing
to fill the leadership void. People who will embrace the influence
they have. People who believe in improving society and workplace
culture - not only because it makes life better, but because it is
proven to yield positive results. We need more leaders. The
Promises of Giants is a challenge to anyone who aspires to make a
difference in their environment. Over fourteen promises, it
seamlessly intertwines personal anecdotes and workplace and social
observation with the latest research, to provide practical, proven
tips and strategies to empower you to maximize your own potential
and inspire others. It is not a self-help book. It is a how-to
guide for winning, rooted in the belief that the most unlikely of
people, in the most improbable of circumstances, can become
extraordinary. John Amaechi well understands the responsibilities
and potential that come with being a giant. The Promises of Giants
is the product of a lifetime spent observing and studying effective
leadership - from accompanying his mother's visits to her dying
patients to competing at the highest levels of professional sport,
through two decades of management consulting with multinational
corporations. These experiences have shown that everyone has the
ability to act decisively to influence the world in a positive way.
Everyone is a giant to someone.

Leadership development speaker & consultant Andy Ellis is the
former CSO of Akamai, where he contributed to the creation of
Akamai's billion-dollar cybersecurity business. He now brings his
speaking, consulting, and business knowledge to readers with 1%
Leadership-based on the reality that real-world leadership is messy
and complicated; it rarely fits into an acronym or a dogmatic
overarching philosophy. Ellis says that there are no "irrefutable
laws" of leadership or power; there is no secret. As a result, 1%
Leadership does not provide one path to leadership-it provides
dozens of practical lessons that anyone, at any stage of their
career, can use continuously make tiny "1% at a time" improvements.
1% Leadership is a handy guidebook that business readers can
regularly apply to identify blind spots, boost morale (both
personal and among teams and organizations), and solve problems at
work. Readers can spend a few minutes each Monday morning to focus
on one lesson for their leadership development-perhaps that lesson
only improves their performance by 1%; but it's those accumulated
1% improvements that separate the best leaders from everyone else.
Lessons include: * To engage in the present, be of two minds about
the future. Worrying about failure will make success even more
unlikely. Only by engaging in the present with that worry set aside
can we find the path to success. * Four days of great work now are
rarely more important than four months of good work down the road.
Show that long-term wellness matters. * Performance development
should be applied to every person on your team. Rather than
treating the performance process as a way to identify and document
poor performers, create a process that aims to improve and develop
every person on your team.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER "Offers an entertaining look at Kerkorian's
outsize life... an interesting portrait of a billionaire." - Wall
Street Journal The rags-to-riches story of one of America's
wealthiest and least-known financial giants, self-made billionaire
Kirk Kerkorian-the daring aviator, movie mogul, risk-taker, and
business tycoon who transformed Las Vegas and Hollywood to become
one of the leading financiers in American business. Kerkorian
combined the courage of a World War II pilot, the fortitude of a
scrappy boxer, the cunning of an inscrutable poker player and an
unmatched genius for making deals. He never put his name on a
building, but when he died he owned almost every major hotel and
casino in Las Vegas. He envisioned and fostered a new industry -the
leisure business. Three times he built the biggest resort hotel in
the world. Three times he bought and sold the fabled MGM Studios,
forever changing the way Hollywood does business. His early life
began as far as possible from a place on the Forbes List of
Billionaires when he and his Armenian immigrant family lost their
farm to foreclosure. He was four. They arrived in Los Angeles
penniless and moved often, staying one step ahead of more
evictions. Young Kirk learned English on the streets of L.A., made
pennies hawking newspapers and dropped out after eighth grade. How
he went on to become one of the richest and most generous men in
America-his net worth as much as $20 billion-is a story largely
unknown to the world. That's because what Kerkorian valued most was
his privacy. His very private life turned to tabloid fodder late in
life when a former professional tennis player falsely claimed that
the eighty-five-year-old billionaire fathered her child. In this
engrossing biography, investigative reporter William C. Rempel digs
deep into Kerkorian's long-guarded history to introduce a man of
contradictions-a poorly educated genius for deal-making, an
extraordinarily shy man who made the boldest of business ventures,
a careful and calculating investor who was willing to bet
everything on a single roll of the dice. Unlike others of his
status and importance, Kerkorian made few public appearances and
strenuously avoided personal publicity. His friends and associates,
however, were some of the biggest names in business, entertainment,
and sports-among them Howard Hughes, Ted Turner, Steve Wynn,
Michael Milken, Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Elvis
Presley, Mike Tyson, and Andre Agassi. When he died in 2015 two
years shy of the century mark, Kerkorian had outlived many of his
closest friends and associates. Now, Rempel meticulously pieces
together revealing fragments of Kerkorian's life, collected from
diverse sources-war records, business archives, court documents,
news clippings and the recollections and recorded memories of
longtime pals and relatives. In The Gambler, Rempel illuminates
this unknown, self-made man and his inspiring legacy as never
before.
Our decisions are expressions of who we are and how we move through
the world. Rarely, though, do we examine our decisions or even look
inward to consider the psychology of our decision-making. Instead,
we often make decisions based on what we call instinct (which
relies on cognitive bias), false assumptions, mis-remembering, and
mental mistakes. Truthfully, we don't see the world as it is; we
see it as we are. We can develop self-knowledge about our
decision-making styles. We can wake ourselves up to how biases
cloud our judgment and impede good decision-making—and we can
counter bias. From there, we can transform our decision-making
habits to make better big decisions alone and together. Problem
Solver provides you with tools to identify: • The five basic
decision-making approaches, or "Problem Solver Profiles" (PSPs):
Adventurer, Detective, Listener, Thinker, and Visionary • Your
dominant—and secondary—PSPs • Tools to assess other peoples'
PSPs • Each PSP's decision-making strengths, blind spots, and
biases • How your PSP impacts your outlook on life and your risk
appetite • How to use your PSP to maximize your decision
strengths Replete with real-life examples and replicable strategies
to apply new decision-making skills for your immediate benefit,
Problem Solver will do more than help you look out into a future;
it will equip you to move forward, with confidence, into your
future.
If you want to be the best, you have to have the right skillset.
