A timely and insightful look at how businesses are adapting and reinventing themselves for a world shifted by the global pandemic, written by a widely respected Silicon Valley innovator with decades of experience working in disruption.

A new label is REQUIRED to describe the magnitude of impact COVID-19 has on the world. By naming it a recession, depression or a black swan event won't do justice to what happened. Within this book, you will find a new label assigned to the phenomenon. A disruption of this magnitude creates problems..and possibilities. This book will help you focus on possibilities, rather than problems.

Virtually any middle manager has worked across cultures and geographies with multicultural and global teams. As a result of this shift, almost every organization today is experiencing a massive cultural transformation. This can only happen when leaders apply best practices and expert guidance to crossing cultures and working globally.

Within any dynamic business climate, Lean and Six Sigma are symbiotic, perhaps even inseparable. Whereas Six Sigma methodologies are widely accepted as benchmarks for increasing profitability via product/service performance in every constrained area of an organization, Lean is closely associated with speed, efficiency and waste minimization. While meeting modern quality standards, corporations must simultaneously decrease lead times and become ever more proactive to evolving customer urgencies. Therefore, as manufacturing cycles get shorter and innovation accelerates, Six Sigma and Lean need to be integrated using the applied theory of constraints into the business product/service flow as Lean Six Sigma (LSS).

Enter "Dr. Shree Nanguneri," with his expertise in LSS methodologies and strategies and experience in LSS deployments across corporations, continents and cultures. In "#LEAN SIX SIGMA tweet Book01," Dr. Shree shares insights with you derived from his team, professional, and personal experiences in LSS deployments. He focuses on DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control), considered the hallmark of the LSS problem solving methodology showing how it is founded upon the premise of common people coming together for a common cause, applying common sense to achieve uncommon results. You will find his teachings equally applicable to diverse spheres including general manufacturing, product prototyping, engineering validation, production trials, final manufacturing launches, call center customer service, website back office management operations, accounts payables or receivables and sales closure cycles. You will understand what makes LSS work, where deployment brittleness could occur and what to watch out for as you speed up your business processes.

By using the proven and popular tweet format, Dr. Shree has 'walked his talk.' He has honed his personal technique of transferring knowledge, making the lessons in his book easy to absorb and assimilate. With knowledge that you can immediately apply to your work environment, this book helps you stay on top of the requirement to marry performance with speed and customer requirements so that your processes remain competitive at all times. This handy book will find its nook on every professional's bookshelf.

"So how do you go about creating presentations that accomplish this?"

Communication expert "Wayne Turmel" talked to technical managers at the engineering giant Cisco, where hundreds of presentations are made every day.

Concerns about privacy are not new. Since time immemorial, we humans have valued and guarded our privacy, often jealously or violently. It is therefore no surprise that privacy online is of such great concern in our connected world. Today, when we conduct so much of our life online--bank transactions, credit card payments, transmission of personal messages and images to friends and family--it is completely understandable that we should be concerned about the privacy of our communication and information.

Privacy concerns in the virtual world are often compounded by lack of information and awareness. Not all of us are completely clear on how we should guard our privacy on the Internet. Especially in the corporate world, privacy becomes a huge concern, since it is not only the individual employee who can be at risk, but co-workers and the corporate entity too. Can privacy be guaranteed? How can you raise employee awareness on privacy issues? These are just a few of the questions that "Lori Ruff" is so well-qualified to address.

In "#PRIVACY tweet Book01," Lori tells you--in the succinct and ever-popular tweet format--what exactly privacy on the Internet means to your organization. To cite just one example, she addresses the need for privacy issues to be part of a hiring firm's requirements and why they must be in line with customer relations. You don't have to be an Internet guru to perceive and benefit from her experience and wisdom. Using Lori's book you can secure your privacy at the individual, group and corporate levels without paranoia. Read PrivacyTweet to clear the fear, so that you approach the Internet with caution, yet confidence.

Written in the very readable tweet format, the authors bring timely and effective tips to help people make a successful transition from university to the professional virtual world.

Mentor...teacher...guide...friend...a coach is all of these, and more. "Sterling Lanier," author of "'#COACHING tweet Book01'," has decades of experience coaching CEOs and CEOs-in-the-wings, and knows that coaching is no secret or magical process. Rather it is the art of inspiring, encouraging and motivating people through active listening, by asking thoughtful and thought-provoking questions and helping to set ambitious but realistic goals and action plans. It is a journey of self discovery, as much for the coach as for the person being coached.

In the corporate world, a typical 'coaching' session consists of an annual manager or supervisor soliloquy in which the employee receives 'a mound of criticism sandwiched between two thin slices of praise.' Instead, as Sterling shares with us, coaching should consist of a series of frequent dialogs between employee and manager on the employee's goals, action plans, measurement milestones, alignment to corporate direction, and resources needed for improvement.

In "'#COACHING tweet Book01'," Sterling has distilled his practical experience into bite-sized insights on the power, practices and sheer joy of coaching. Individual sections cover coaching philosophy--coaching from the heart and being fully present in the moment--and coaching practices, which reveal the tools of the trade, including such subtleties as ensuring non-judgmental listening and peeling back the layers so that clients voice the hidden issues.

This little gem is written in the popular tweet format, which makes it easy to read but also, even more important, easy to immediately put to good use in your own work and life. As Sterling succinctly puts it, anyone can seize the opportunity to be a coach for someone--for a friend, a colleague, a business associate, even a family member or a child. "#COACHING tweet" sets you on the path to being a successful coach--here and now.

"Larry Moseley" is something of a detective...an Excel detective. In a 35-year corporate financial career that has spanned the range from startups to megacorps, Larry has often had to analyze and make decisions based on Excel spreadsheets created by colleagues. And he has been constantly amazed at how frequently he finds errors in such Excel projects, errors of omission and of commission, sometimes glaring but frequently quite subtle. The danger, as Larry rightly points out, is that critical corporate decisions are made based on the results of spreadsheets. A company will often determine its strategy or chart a course of action based on the outcome of an Excel project, and a faulty spreadsheet can lead a company down a faulty or suboptimal route.

Which is exactly why Larry has written "#EXPERT EXCEL PROJECTS tweet Book01," dedicated to helping corporate executives and individual contributors develop expertise in planning and implementing Excel projects. Planning your Excel project well in advance speeds up development and eliminates any later "oh-no's." Larry debunks the myth that spreadsheets are intrinsically unreliable. In truth, they are the reverse, but inadequate or unclear thinking applied to their set-up can lead to erroneous results. Conversely, proper planning and implementing of any Excel projects invariably leads to better and more complete decision making.

Much of "#EXPERT EXCEL PROJECTS tweet Book01" is devoted to getting it right the first time, but the book also shows you how to review, analyze and apply an eagle eye to other people's spreadsheets. This is particularly useful for senior decision makers, since they typically make decisions based on spreadsheets created by colleagues, vendors or consultants. Larry takes his readers from start to finish on planning their next Excel project, sharing his domain expertise at every step. Everything from 'storyboarding' the project to final confirmation--checking logic and doing a sanity check to make sure the project results accurately reflect the data. For any middle or senior executive, the knowledge gained from this book will directly enhance business analysis, financial analysis and forecasting models. Unforgettable experience and actionable guidance, all written in the ever popular tweet format, will find this succinct collection a place on every executive's bookshelf.

Caroline Nicholl tweets, "Leadership matters but...teamwork...defines true success." She should know. In a career spanning two decades and two continents, she has made her mark in law enforcement and in translating the lessons learned in law enforcement to the corporate world. As she explains in her highly-readable book, "'#TEAMWORK tweet Book01, '" "Cops know good teamwork calls for candor, camaraderie and mutual accountability."

In our shifting economy, the power of teamwork is ever more important. Yet many leaders are unaware of the essential ingredients for high performing teamwork. Contrary to popular wisdom, hiring smart people and paying them well is not enough. This kind of winging it, as "'#TEAMWORK tweet Book01'" demonstrates, is not recommended when we are counting on teams for innovation, productivity, adaptability, effective resource utilization, talent growth, profitability and customer retention. As a leader or a member of a team, you need to learn what it takes to build high performing teams that support individual and organizational effectiveness, learning and growth. Read "'#TEAMWORK tweet Book01'" to learn why teams matter and what it takes to make them fly.

Maligned and misunderstood, yet supremely important, project management is the cornerstone of any strong and successful enterprise. This handy little companion brings tweet-sized yet powerful insights into the topic.

Textbook prices routinely cause sticker shock. Over the last decade, they have risen more steeply than the inflation rate and, in last year, the average textbook cost a student $62.97 While estimating the cost of a college education, today's college student needs to factor in several thousand dollars just for textbooks.

Debate rages over the astronomical prices of college textbooks, and includes scrutiny of the practices of the textbook publishing industry. Powerful initiatives, including legislative solutions, have been proposed. In fact, the State of Maryland even passed the College Textbook Competition and Affordability Act of 2009. Some of the strongest movements to make textbooks accessible and affordable are open textbook initiatives, such as the Open Textbooks and Community College Consortium at http: //collegeopentextbooks.org.

An open textbook is one that is accessible to all. Not only is it freely available for use but educators can modify, localize or update it to suit the particular needs of their students. The ease of access and customization of open textbooks has spurred tremendous interest among professors and educationists and the demand for affordable, up-to-date textbooks is changing the landscape of how learning content is being delivered. This in turn has fueled a growing trend for open textbook adoption. Through appropriate licensing deals, authors can now offer content that remains current and can be remixed or shared, and thereby extend the reach of their textbooks to a wider, newer, more empowered audience.

In '#OPEN TEXTBOOK tweet Book01, ' written in the popular tweet format, "Sharyn Fitzpatrick," shares with you the value of open textbooks and shows authors how to benefit from the growing demand for them. Best practices on why and how open textbooks should be adopted for today's classrooms are covered. Educators and faculty members will discover how to drive awareness and adoption of open textbooks at their own colleges. In the easy, accessible, readable style that has become the hallmark of THINKaha books, '#OPEN TEXTBOOK tweet Book01' shows authors and educators how they can participate in this win-win effort and seize this opportunity to contribute positively towards ensuring open, affordable college learning for all.

PR has always been demanding. With expectations of lightning-fast responses, today's consumers, vendors and general public all make it challenging to manage and control corporate messaging and PR. Surely you have heard somebody promoting social media as a silver bullet or band-aid for all PR issues? Therein lies the danger...and the opportunity. It's very easy to make PR blunders with social media, simply because you cannot control it. Then how do you learn to use social media, work with it, exploit its potential fully and make it an integral component of your PR toolkit?

In "#SOCIAL MEDIA PR tweet Book01" Janet Fouts shows you how. Social media, as she explains lucidly, is not about one-way broadcasting but about two-way communication. Sure, your company's PR messaging needs to go out but after that you also need to engage your audience, assimilate feedback and close the loop. In other words, social media is all about dialog.

With her expertise in social media coaching, Janet understands that while many of us are individually passionate about social media, the corporations or enterprises we belong to don't necessarily share our passion or knowledge. Also, companies are tired of being sold on social media concepts; they want actionable information. Which is why Janet wrote this book in the actionable, accessible and increasingly-popular tweet format. Delivered in 140 characters or less, Janet's tweets demonstrate the value that can be communicated in small packages. For example, she knows that it's very likely within a corporate environment to be sold on a particular social platform or toolset. Which is why she cautions: Stay platform agnostic. Strategy isn't about the tools.

The statistics are frightening. The National Association of Colleges and Employers' (NACE) 2009 Student Survey shows that just 19.7 percent of 2009 graduates who applied for a job actually have one. And, according to NACE's Job Outlook 2010 Fall Preview, employers expect to hire 7 percent fewer graduates from the college Class of 2010 than they hired from the Class of 2009. What's worse, this issue cannot completely be blamed on a poor economy. Entry-level hiring should have increased because many employers have laid off more expensive, experienced talent. So what's preventing new talent from entering the career marketplace?

Millennials--those individuals born between 1977 and 1997 and also known as Generation Y--often expect college to teach them how to find jobs and are disappointed upon finding out this is not the case. And the career advice they do receive comes from "authority figures" (i.e., campus career center staff), whom they do not believe or trust. These graduates need practical and insightful guidance from someone who knows the challenges they face and how to overcome them.
