Dogbert's Top Secret Management Handbook
|
|
|
New York, New York, U.S.A.: HarperBusiness, 1996 Near-new condition. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine - Bright pages. Cartoon illustrations throughout. NO writing, marks or tears. - In this guide to (mis)management, Dilbert's dog-savant takes a bite out of corporate America, revealing fail-safe strategies to turn the most befuddled boss into a fully functioning, whip-wielding, paradigm-spewing tyrant. Annotation Dilbert--the world's fastest growing comic strip, read by 60 million fans in 32 countries--deals with the frustrations of everyday corporate life, as the title character struggles to maintain his identity and happiness in a world where attacks can come from everyone from his boss down to his dog. 128 pp. Web site promo. 400,000 print. From the Publisher Behind the closed doors of corporate management lurks a manifesto so devious, so insidious, and of such diabolic power, it has the ability to transform normal human beings into paradigm-spewing zombies. Its purpose: to help bosses stick it to their employees. Its author: none other than Dogbert, the canine corporate consultant out to rule the world. All too often, new managers make mistakes such as rewarding good work with good pay, communicating clearly and improving departmental efficiency. Dogbert shows that this could have devastating consequences: Employees begin to expect fair treatment and compensation, productive workers show results (making managers look bad by comparison), and the department's future budget allotment could be decreased because it spends only what it needs. Drawing from his years of experience tormenting Dilbert and advising his boss, our Machiavellian mutt uses pithy essays, illustrated by scores of comic strips, to teach neophyte managers such potent practices as: The power of verbal instructions: Sound like a boss while maintaining complete deniability! Empty promises of promotion: all the motivational benefits, none of the costs! Pretending to care: Learn how to hear without listening! Incentives: Inspire employees by giving them worthless knickknacks! Once again firmly establishing Scott Adams as the spokesman for the absurdities of the workplace (and Dogbert as the guru of sticking it to the masses), Dogbert's Top Secret Management Handbook is the perfect gift for all cubicle dwellers and their bosses. .

The Northbound Train: Finding the Purpose Setting the Direction Shaping the Destiny of Your Organization
|
|
|
Amacom Books, 1994 Very-good+ condition - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Tight spine - Bright pages - NO writing or marks inside book - 213 pages - Covers are clean (NO tears). Is your company on a clear track to the future, with a defined goal that sets its direction and with determined employees powering its engine? Or is it stumbling toward whatever comes next, dragged along by circumstance, or "staying the course" out of fear? Karl Albrecht, renowned business thinker and co-author of the bestseller Service America!, challenges today's business leaders to embark on a journey on The Northbound Train. His northbound train is a metaphor for achieving a focused vision of the direction your company must take to succeed and then moving inexorably toward that goal. And as Albrecht shows, this vision must always be based upon an understanding of what will create value for your customers. In The Northbound Train Albrecht provides a step-by-step guide to soul searching, strategy setting, and customer wooing. Using insightful, real-world examples of effective and ineffective processes, he helps you map out a path - a strategic success model - that your company must follow to find out what makes its business unique. He illustrates how to formulate a reality-based vision; define your company's core values and philosophy; create a company mission statement that is accurate, concise, and inspiring; evaluate your competitive strategy to see if it's based on real strengths; reach a unified concept for creating value for your customers; and distill these decisions, finally, into a few critical areas of focus. Of course, all this thinking and planning is useless if the people in your organization are not "on board." Albrecht explains that "the leader must help people in the organization understand and commit to the vision. And the leader must help them learn to do what it takes to make the vision a reality." The author provides advice for exactly how to lead your company (or your portion of the company) in the right direction and how to reward employees based on their real, verifiable contributions to that end-of-the-track goal. Is your company ready. Trade Paperback. Very Good +. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information

Burdened by runaway inflation and a debased currency, bereft of strategic alliances, torn by internal dissent, and eyed greedily by competitors bent on takeover, her business -- England -- was on the brink of ruin. Forty-five years later, England was the richest and most powerful nation in Europe and well on its way to becoming the greatest empire the world would ever know. How did she do it? Elizabeth I, CEO condenses Elizabeth's leadership wizardry into management lessons today's business leaders can employ in their own quests for excellence and supremacy. Written by Alan Axelrod, author of the national bestseller Patton on Leadership, this fascinating story of one woman's meteoric rise from illegitimate birth and imprisonment to the throne of the greatest nation on earth unfolds to reveal fresh insights into the art of leading people to business success. Anyone in a leadership role will find much to emulate in Elizabeth's long, challenging, and highly successful reign, including leadership strategies for developing and communicating a vision of excellence, nurturing creativity, turning crisis into triumph, and creating common cause without tyranny. Be inspired by the beloved monarch who built an empire and shaped the enduring destiny of a people ... and lead your own people to greatness. . Hard Cover.

The Monster Under the Bed: How Business Is Mastering the Opportunity of Knowledge for Profit
|
|
|
Simon & Schuster, 1994 Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $20.00. Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 189 pages. - Companies in the business of providing knowledge for profit will dominate the 21st-century global marketplace. And to stay competitive, these companies will increasingly play the major role in making education a lifelong learning process for consumers, employees, and students alike. These are the startling trends revealed in this first in-depth study of the mushrooming knowledge-for-profit mega-industry that is already transforming the way we run our businesses and the way we learn. With knowledge doubling nearly every seven years, while the life cycles of businesses grow shorter and shorter, the best way to succeed in today's economy is to become a knowledge-based business - one that leverages the enormous economic value of knowledge. Utilizing the sophisticated tools and skills of the new information technology, any business can become a knowledge business. The proliferation of smart products and services makes it necessary to educate employees and consumers on their development and use. Stan Davis and Jim Botkin show you how to accomplish this. The Monster Under the Bed is packed with examples of companies like AT&T and Arthur Andersen that are riding the crest of this powerful new wave by creating and marketing products and services that make their customers smarter and their businesses more profitable. The same forces that are driving knowledge-for-profit businesses are dramatically changing education as we have known it. The vast majority of the more than 60 million PC owners, for example, learned how to use their computers either at work or at home, not in school. Spending by American companies on employee education in one recent year alone was equivalent to funding thirteen new Harvards. Education-intensive companies like Motorola have found that they gain as much as $30 in productivity for every dollar they invest in employee training. Davis and Botkin explain the opportunities and pitfalls of this revolution in knowledge and learning. They explain how. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information

Reengineering Management: The Mandate for New Leadership

HarperBusiness, 1995 Near-new condition - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Stated First Edition - Price inside dustcover: $25.00 - 212 pages - Tight spine - Bright pages - NO writing, marks or tears inside book. More than two years after the publication of Reengineering the Corporation, thousands of companies large and small have undertaken the mission of reengineering, sparking a transformation in literally millions of working lives. Yet as the reengineering revolution spreads throughout the world economy, a now-familiar pattern seems to have emerged. Too often, reengineering stops at the upper echelons of corporations, and managerial levels remain unchanged or resistant to the reengineering process. As a consequence, the task of reengineering is stopped in its tracks, and the anticipated benefits are never achieved. After working with dozens of companies in the throes of reengineering, Jim Champy is uniquely qualified to write the book that brings management fully into the reengineering revolution. In Reengineering Management, Champy provides the guidelines managers need to lead, organize, inspire, deploy, measure, and reward the new work reengineering creates. Today's management practices hearken back to the early 1900s, when corporations changed from owner leadership to professional managers who began to run companies like controllable, predictable machines. Now that corporations have taken pains to reengineer their operational processes, the management processes must change in accordance. In Reengineering Management, Champy reveals that these processes must focus on mobilizing, enabling, defining, measuring, and communicating in order to achieve a business culture that enables a continuous process of reengineering - in order, in short, to achieve success. For the hundreds of thousands of managers who have read Reengineering the Corporation and the millions who have been touched by the reengineering revolution, Reengineering Management is the book that can deliver the reality behind the promise..

Why are efforts to improve falling so short in real results despite the millions of dollars in time, capital, and human effort being spent on them? How do we unleash the creativity, talent, and energy within ourselves and others in the midst of pressure? Is it realistic to believe that balance among personal, family, and professional life is possible? Stephen R. Covey demonstrates that the answer to these and other dilemmas is Principle-Centered Leadership, a long-term, inside-out approach to developing people and organizations. The key to dealing with the challenges that face us today is the recognition of a principle-centered core within both ourselves and our organizations. Dr. Covey offers insights and guidelines that can help you apply these principles both at work and at home - leading not just to a new understanding of how to increase quality and productivity, but also to a new appreciation of the importance of building personal and professional relationships in order to enjoy a more balanced, more rewarding, more effective life..

Managing the Big Sale: A Relational Approach to Marketing Strategies, Tactics, and Selling
|
|
|
Lincolnwood, Illinois, U.S.A.: Ntc Pub Group, 1996 Near-new copy. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears. 224 pages. The "big sale" differs from other kinds of sales for many reasons. It means more money, it takes more time, and it involves more people. But the single most important difference is that it isn't a single event. It's a process that must be managed from initial contact to long after "a sale" has been made. That process begins by identifying potential relationships and then developing them for the long term. Success comes from managing the information that drives these relationships as one continuous loop, from strategy to tactics to sales contact - and back again. And failure to do so means failure to make the sale. That's why Managing the Big Sale is such important reading. Its five parts provide all the practical guidance needed for developing marketing and sales efforts that work relationally - that draw together all the best insights and information from a company's marketing strategies, its marketing tacticians, and its sales force - to create and manage the entire process from initial contact to final close and follow-up. The Appendix presents real-world-based cases showing how the models and principles in the book have been used by very different kinds of businesses in very different circumstances to market and sell their products and services more effectively and productively. Forms, models, and checklists throughout the book enable you to create the continuous flow of information needed to merge this complex process from strategic development to customer contact and back..

Radical Management: Power Politics and the Pursuit of Trust
|
|
|
Free Pr, 1985 Near-new copy - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Tight spine - Bright pages. 6 pages have light highlighting (yellow) - Does NOT interfere with reading. NO other writing or marks inside book. 234 pages - NO tears inside book. When newspapers across the country reported Capital Cities Communications' stunningly successful bid for ABC, The New York Times asked a senior official at another of Capital Cities' recent acquisitions, Institutional Investor, if it was true that Capital Cities left management in place when it took over a firm. "I was a little skeptical when the company was bought," he conceded. "But they create a sense of trust. It's a wonderful motivational device." This concept of trust as a key to organizational effectiveness lies at the heart of Radical Management, Samuel A. Culbert and John J. McDonough's challenging new book. For years, the authors point out, business has been enslaved to a "rational" model of management that asks only that executives meet narrow organizational goals, regardless of the needs and views of those they work with. But while this bottom-line mentality can produce satisfactory results on the balance sheet, in the workplace its effects are often disastrous -- breeding misunderstandings, hidden resentments, infighting, and even costly power struggles. Arguing that what many executives understand about the complex political forces at work in an organization "wouldn't fill the proverbial thimble," Culbert and McDonough propose a radical model of management: one that gives managers the insight they need into organizational politics to allow them to improve communication and share power. Generously illustrated with revealing case vignettes drawn from their extensive consulting experience, the authors' framework shows accomplished and prospective managers alike how to recognize and respect the inevitably differing talents, perspectives, andexpectations that associates bring to their jobs. It reveals the enormously subjective influences at work in any organization and why they must be openly acknowledged and accommodated if managers are to promote cooperation and assure productivity. Radical Management decodes and demystifies the vast majority of organizational conflicts in which executives at all levels so often become embroiled. Adding a human dimension missing from the "rational" model's hard-nosed, coldly analytic approach to management, Culbert and McDonough demonstrate how to foster the trust that generates teamwork, cements support for corporate plans, and -- yes -- boosts profits as well. Above all, they prove that trusting relationships in business make for more than good office morale: They're nothing less than "the most efficient management tool ever invented." . Hard Cover.

Tight spine, bright pages - 287 pages. - In the summer of 1994, the authors of this book began traveling across North America, Europe, and Asia to interview the heads of more than 160 major multinational corporations, in industries as diverse as entertainment, banking, diamond mining, and semiconductors. Their goal was to explore the role of the CEO - to discover how the men and women at the pinnacle of some of the world's most prominent companies fulfill their role as leaders. They came away not with abstract theories about management but with real stories about how CEOs actually spend their days, whom they see, where they go, which decisions they make, which they don't, and why. In the process, the authors uncovered new and provocative evidence that there exist five distinct styles of leadership. In Maximum Leadership they illustrate those styles - or "approaches," as they call themwith vivid examples and the candid voices of CEOs at companies such as Coca-Cola, Gillette, Nintendo, Hewlett-Packard, Goldman Sachs, and Nestle. .

He tells how today's leading businesses became masters at expanding the teamwork of their workforce. From The Critics Publishers Weekly Cooperative rather than adversarial manager-employee relations are the mark of today's innovative and successful companies, reports Garfield ( Peak Performance ) in this somewhat long-winded but unfailingly cheerful account. At America West Airlines, Semco and Preston Trucking, among other companies, he observes that managers have become coaches, factory hands are planners and designers and clerks double as public relations experts--all with decision-making authority. With compensation based on results and profits ``only one goal among many,'' self-managed employee teams develop or revise products and services, usually having sought input from suppliers, retailers and consumers. In an ongoing conversion ``from machines to living systems,'' such new-breed firms, says Garfield, embrace ethnic and gender diversity, support high ethical and environmental standards and espouse community concerns..
