'Making money is a knack, a knack that can be acquired. And if someone like me can become rich, then so can you - no matter what your present circumstances. Here is how I did it and what I learned along the way.' So writes Felix Dennis, who believes that almost anyone of reasonable intelligence can become rich, given sufficient motivation and application. How To Get Rich is a distillation of his business wisdom. Primarily concerned with the step-by-step creation of wealth, it ruthlessly dissects the business failures and financial triumphs of 'a South London lad who became rich virtually by accident'. Part manual, part memoir, part primer, this book is a template for those who are willing to stare down failure and transform their lives.Canny, infuriating, cynical and generous by turns, How To Get Rich is an invaluable guide to 'the surprisingly simple art of collecting money which already has your name on it'.

The Law of Market Failure: Most new products will fail in the market, even if competently executed.Using his experience at Google, his remarkable success as an entrepreneur and consultant, and insights from his lectures at Stanford University and Google, Alberto Savoia's The Right It offers an unparalleled approach to beating the beast that is market failure.Millions of people around the world are working hard to bring to life new ideas. Some of these ideas will turn out to be stunning successes that will have a major impact on our world and our culture: The next Google, the next Polio vaccine, the next Harry Potter, the next Red Cross, the next Ford Mustang. Others will be smaller, more personal but no less meaningful, successes: A little restaurant that becomes a neighborhood favorite, a biography that does not make the best-seller list but tells an important story, a local nonprofit to care for abandoned pets. At this very same moment, another group of people is working equally hard to develop new ideas that, when launched, will fail. Some of them will fail spectacularly and publicly: like New Coke, the movie ?John Carter?, or the Ford Edsel. Others will be smaller, more private, but no less painful failures: A home-based business that never takes off, a children's book that neither publishers nor children have any interest in, a charity for a cause that too few people care enough about. If you are currently working to develop a new idea, whether on your own or as part of a team, which group are you in? Most people believe that they either are, or will be, in the first group?the group whose ideas will be successful. All they have to do is work hard and execute well. Unfortunately, we know that this cannot be the case. The law of market failure tells us that up to 90 percent of most new products, services, businesses, and initiatives will fail soon after they are launched?regardless of how promising they sound, how much we commit to them, or how well we execute them. This is a hard fact to accept. We believe that other people fail because they don't know what they are doing. Somehow, we believe that this does not apply to us and to our idea?especially if we've experienced victories in the past.Filled with detailed case studies, a lesson on creating your own hard data, a strategy for market engagement, and an introduction to the concept of a pretotype (not a prototype), The Right It is a groundbreaking, entertaining, and highly practical book delivers a proven formula for turning ideas, products, services, and businesses into successful endeavors. As Alberto writes, ?make sure you are building The Right It before you build It right?.

Billionaire oil trader Marc Rich for the first time talks at length about his private life (including his expensive divorce from wife Denise); his invention of the spot oil market, which made his fortune and changed the world economy; his lucrative and unpublicized dealings with Ayatollah Khomeini's Iran, Fidel Castro's Cuba, war-ravaged Angola, and apartheid South Africa; his quiet cooperation with the Israeli and U.S. governments (even after he was indicted for tax fraud by Rudy Guiliani) and near-comical attempts by U.S. officials to kidnap him illegally.This sure-to-make-headlines book is the first no-holds-barred biography of Rich, who was famously pardoned by Bill Clinton, and resurfaced in the news during the confirmation hearings of Attorney General Eric Holder. The King of Oil sheds stunning new light on one of the most controversial international businessmen of all time.

De fleste organisationer betragter innovation som en bibeskæftigelse. Ofte sendes medarbejderne af sted til "Brainstorm Island": et eksternt seminar proppet med trendy foredrag, kreative workshops og over entusiastiske oplægsholdere. Men når medarbejderne vender hjem igen, er det tilbage til business as usual. Innovationseksperterne Paddy Miller og Thomas Wedell-Wedellsborg foreslår en bedre metode. De anbefaler, at ledere på alle niveauer bliver "innovationsarkitekter" og skaber et økosystem, hvor folk kan være innovative som en naturlig del af deres daglige arbejde. Nøglen er at vejlede sine ansatte i det, forfatterne kalder de "5 + 1 centrale adfærdsmønstre for innovation":   Fokus er bedre end frihed. Sæt fokus på idéer, der betyder noget for forretningen Indsigt kommer udefra. Hjælp folk med at tage kontakt til nye verdener Nye idéer er aldrig perfekte. Få folk til at tweake og reframe deres oprindelige idéer De fleste idéer er dårlige. Gør folk bedre til at vælge de bedste idéer Stealthstorming virker. Hjælp folk med at navigere i det politiske landskab Kreativitet er et valg. Motivér alle til at være vedholdende i jagten på nye idéer.   Så aflys det eksterne seminar. Læs i stedet Innovation as Usual – og gør innovation til en central del af virksomhedens dagligdag.

Løser du de rigtige problemer? Har du eller dine kolleger nogensinde arbejdet hårdt med en udfordring – for derefter at finde ud af, at I fokuserede på det helt forkerte problem? Det kender de fleste. 85 procent af virksomhederne i en survey svarede, at de ofte kæmper med at løse de rigtige problemer. Det har alvorlige konsekvenser: Ledere kæmper de forkerte strategiske kampe. Teams bruger energi på ligegyldigt arbejde. Startups bygger produkter, ingen vil have. Organisationer implementerer “løsninger”, der ender med at gøre situationen værre. Spildet er chokerende. Som Peter Drucker har påpeget, er der ikke noget farligere end det rigtige svar på det forkerte spørgsmål. Det kan gøres bedre. Nøglen er reframing; en afgørende og underudnyttet kompetence, du kan tilegne dig med hjælp fra denne bog. Forfatteren Thomas Wedell-Wedellsborg bruger historier fra det virkelige liv og uforglemmelige eksempler som ”problemet med den langsomme elevator” til at beskrive sin enkle tretrins-metode – Frame, Reframe, Gå videre. Alle kan bruge metoden til at få løst de rigtige problemer. Reframing er ikke svært at lære. Det kan bruges både til dine udfordringer i hverdagen og til de største, mest indviklede problemer, du støder på. What’s Your Problem er velskrevet, gennemresearchet, internationalt anerkendt og propfuld af eksempler fra virksomhedsledere, iværksættere, konsulenter, nonprofit-stiftere og mange andre banebrydende tænkere. Læs denne bog og bliv en problemløser med superkræfter.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AS SEEN ON THE HIT TV SHOW 'THE BEAR'Essential lessons in hospitality for every business, from the former co-owner of legendary restaurant Eleven Madison Park.Will Guidara was twenty-six when he took the helm of Eleven Madison Park, a struggling New York City two-star brasserie that had never quite lived up to its majestic room. Eleven years later, EMP was named the best restaurant in the world.How did Guidara pull off this unprecedented transformation? Radical reinvention, a true partnership between the kitchen and the dining room-and memorable, over-the-top, bespoke hospitality. Guidara's team surprised a family who had never seen snow with a magical sledding trip to Central Park after their dinner; they filled a private dining room with sand, complete with mai-tais and beach chairs, to console a couple with a cancelled vacation. And his hospitality extended beyond those dining at the restaurant to his own team, who learned to deliver praise and criticism with intention; why the answer to some of the most pernicious business dilemmas is to give more-not less; and the magic that can happen when a busser starts thinking like an owner.Today, every business can choose to be a hospitality business-and we can all transform ordinary transactions into extraordinary experiences. Featuring sparkling stories of his journey through restaurants, with the industry's most famous players like Daniel Boulud and Danny Meyer, Guidara urges us all to find the magic in what we do-for ourselves, the people we work with, and the people we serve.

An unorthodox guide to making things worth making, from 'the father of the iPod and iPhone' and the creator of Nest.Everyone deserves a mentor. For every career crisis, every fork in the road, you need someone to talk to. Someone who's been there before, who knows exactly how wobbly and conflicted you feel, who can give it to you straight:Here's how to think about choosing a job. Here's how to be a better manager. Here's how to approach design. Here's how to start a company.Here's how to run it. Tony Fadell learned all these lessons the hard way. He spent the first 10 years of his career in Silicon Valley failing spectacularly, and the next 20 building some of the most impactful devices in history - the iPod, iPhone, and Nest Learning Thermostat. He has enough stories and advice about leadership, design, startups, mentorship, decision making, devastating screwups, and unbelievable success to fill an encyclopedia.So that's what this book is. An advice encyclopedia. A mentor in a box.But Tony's doesn't follow the standard Silicon Valley credo that you have to radically reinvent everything you do. His advice is unorthodox because it's old school. Because it's based on human nature, not gimmicks.Tony keeps things simple: he just tells you what works. He gives you exactly what you need to make things worth making.PRAISE FOR BUILDThis is the most fun - and the most fascinating - memoir of curiosity and invention that I've ever read.'
