"Five Deadly Sins CEOs Make in Sales" is a business fable designed to help CEOs recognize five common sales management mistakes that negatively impact financial results. Whether you are the CEO of a small company with only one salesperson or you manage thousands, it's very likely that you have committed at least one of the sins described in this book. Don't worry; you are not alone. The logic that leads senior executives to commit these sins over and over makes sense and is pervasive. There are hundreds of how-to books to help individual salespeople sell better, but there are few designed to help CEOs, the lead sales executive, understand why their sales organization is not generating more revenue. This fable is about Jack Ressler, CEO of Acme, Inc., and what happens when the company misses its quarterly revenue target. Instead of making Jack the scapegoat for the poor results, the chairman and board of directors decide to help Jack discover the five deadly sins. This book is based on the work and experience of the author, who admits to having committed all five sins. Fortunately, he found out soon enough to be able to help others avoid the same fate. The story is short, enlightening, and provocative. About the Author Jim Lewis is the founder and CEO of Princeton Sales Partners, LLC, an executive management coaching and consulting firm to CEOs on the best practices of selling and sales management, located in Princeton, New Jersey.

The corporate scandals that have been ravaging American Corporate Economy during 2002 have been widely discussed in newspapers and broadcasts. Even if it's a very serious problem, people believe that little has been done in order to correct the underlying issues, which seem to be far from clear. The Ten Capitalistic Sins of American Corporate Economy discusses in short chapters the main issues related to this ominous problem. In each case the main points are identified and discussed in a very simple language, and several original proposals are outlined for discussion. People unfamiliar with the American business world will find surprising revelations about several wrong ideas prevailing in big corporations, ideas that have much to do with their poor performance. On the other hand, people familiar with that world will find in the book an original line of though to deal with certain complex issues in a common sense language, avoiding the usual and confusing technical jargon.

This book is about the primary symptoms present in a dysfunctional culture that could have devastating outcomes for any organization. The book outlines each of the seven sins in each chapter. Each of the first seven chapters (Chapters 1–7) starts with a famous quote related to each of the sins and then immediately recounts stories ripped from the headlines describing well-known corporate failures but with a personal touch from former employees who experienced those stories from inside the company. (The sources for these stories are all cited in their Bibliographies.) The seven sins of organizational culture are linked with seven different corporate scandals that serve as a "lesson learned" as well as seven stories of organizations that have been successful with each respective organizational attribute as follows: Flawed Mission and Misaligned Values uses WorldCom as the lesson learned and Patagonia as the success case. Flawed Incentives uses Wells Fargo as the lesson learned and Bridgeport Financial as the success case. Lack of Accountability uses HSBC as the lesson learned and McDonald’s as the success case. Ineffective Talent Management uses Enron as the lesson learned and Southwest Airlines as the success case. Lack of Transparency uses Theranos as the lesson learned and Zappos as the success case. Ineffective Risk Management uses the 2008 mortgage industry collapse as the lesson learned and Michael Burry as the success case. Ineffective Leadership summarizes all of the foregoing sins as failures of Leadership. In each chapter and for each organizational sin, the author offers seven attributes of a healthy culture to counter the cultural dysfunction. The seven healthy attributes for each of the seven sins are all original content. In Chapter 8, the author offers an approach for assessing an organization’s culture by providing seven ways to measure the different drivers of organizational culture. The ideas for how to measure corporate culture is original content, with some references to existing frameworks (all cited in the Bibliography.) Finally, in Chapter 9, the author offers a step-by-step outline for transforming the culture. The chapter starts with a story about how Korean Air suffered multiple crashes due to their corporate culture but were able to successfully transform their culture. (The source for the Korean Air story is cited in the Bibliography.) There are seven appendices, most of which are by the author except for the maturity of risk management, which references an OECD (government entity) risk management maturity framework.

Silicon Valley pioneer Ray Zinn, CEO of top microchip company Micrel for 37 years, shows entrepreneurs and executives how to lead and succeed by tackling the Tough Things First In high school, Ray Zinn’s track coach told him he was too short to run the hurdles. Ray took this as a challenge and, after months of hard training, became the fastest hurdler on the team. That drive and self-discipline is, to Zinn, the essence of the entrepreneurial spirit. It’s what pushed him to achieve the impossible, founding a Silicon Valley microchip company—without venture capital—and turning it into a global empire with an enviable 37-year track record as CEO. Tough Things First, the distillation of Ray Zinn’s astonishing career as CEO of Micrel, is a comprehensive head-to-toe training program for entrepreneurs and leaders—based on hard-won lessons in business and in life. Zinn’s tough-love approach gives you the guidance you need to: • Find your vision, set your goals, and make them happen • Build your business like you’d train your body: with heart, soul, mind, and passion • Master the psychological disciplines that will sharpen your focus and drive • Create a corporate culture that engages employees and inspires confidence • Put people first and push them to achieve their personal best • Tackle the tough jobs today—and ensure your success tomorrow Zinn tells you what it takes to succeed in a world where markets are constantly changing, new technologies are emerging, and small startups are going head to head with industry giants. He shows you how to be a good leader and what you can do to make yourself even better. He reveals why discipline is the first and most important step—for the entrepreneur and the organization—and why people are your single most valuable resource. He offers practical, no-nonsense advice on processes and procedures, finances and growth creation, changing markets and new technology. But that’s not all. The key to your success, Zinn explains, lies in your mind, your body, your vision, and your heart. This book shows you how to develop these interconnected skills, how to integrate them into your life and work, and how to handle the tough things first. As the trailblazing founder and CEO of Micrel, Inc., one of the world’s leading microchip companies, Ray Zinn bootstrapped his company, achieved consistent profitability, and delivered a total equity value of more than $800 million at its acquisition. In 37 years of leading this publicly traded microchip empire, he saw it through the dot-com bust and Great Recession—with only one unprofitable year—relying on his discipline as a leader, passion as an inventor, and training as an athlete. In 2015, Zinn stepped down as Micrel’s CEO and is in the process of launching a Silicon Valley accelerator that will help business visionaries build profitable, enduring companies.

Should CEOs act as moral compasses for their companies? Leo Hindery thinks they should. If every CEO did so, then Enron, WorldCom, Adelphia, and Tyco would not have become poster children for greed. They would not have become corporate embarrassments -- living illustrations of all that can go wrong in the corner office. How did these once prestigious companies fall off the ethical cliff? How is it that reputations were destroyed, shareholders lost value, employees (in many cases) lost everything, and, in a few cases, entire companies disappeared? Everyone is pointing fingers, and the new widespread mistrust of public companies may turn out to be more damaging to America's economic future than the billions actually lost in the scandals. Now, one of America's most prominent corporate leaders illuminates the need for more integrity and less greed among executives. In a scathing examination of why leaders have lost their way, Leo Hindery speaks out on the role of the CEO. Does the corporate culture have to be driven by greed? Or can you do good and still make good in the big business world? Leo Hindery, the former CEO and President of companies such as AT&T Broadband, TCI, and the YES Network -- and currently Managing Partner of InterMedia Partners -- forcefully advocates approaching a business career as life's meaningful work, and not merely as a way to accumulate personal wealth. Both fiery and optimistic, Hindery calls upon his fellow executives to conduct themselves with the kind of integrity that used to be commonplace, but now seems all too rare. Holding his moral yardstick up to some of the worst transgressions in recent memory, Hindery tackles the toughest issues of the day head-on: • Why should the ratio of average CEO pay to average employee pay today be 304:1 -- and in some cases, as high as 2,300:1? • What does it mean when 80 percent of all viewed media content is owned by just 5 companies? • If offshoring is good for the global economy, what needs to be done to make it fair? • What should the role of the board of directors be, and whose job is it to take care of employees? With passion, insight, and humor, Hindery reinvigorates the code of business conduct. It Takes a CEO is a corporate handbook for our times -- not for how to get ahead, but for how to lead with integrity, grace, and heart.

You are a soldier and a CEO, about to be reborn into a new way of thinking about business; a moral one based on an original blueprint and ancient principles. As an entrepreneur, a businessperson, a human being, we all need a strategy for survival, success and sustenance in a chaotic world. Few business leaders have lived as international a life as Raj D. Mohan, whose homes have ranged from India, the United Kingdom, West Africa and beyond. His family’s business roots are in the pharmaceutical industry, giving him decades of experience and wisdom in one of the world’s most important economic sectors. Mohan insists the old adage “prevention is better than a cure” delivers a larger-than-life truth. Mary Poppins sang, “A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down”. Indeed, the bitter medicine of truth can be masterfully sugar-coated ensuring its palatability. Only then, can it be willingly consumed to bring holistic wellness for the user. The result is this book, a spiritual business guide for leaders of any industry providing a moral compass for decision-making, whether working one-on-one with employees and team players, or for major decisions in the boardroom, which can impact the lives of millions. Mohan enlightens us with many real-life examples in unique, entertaining ways. Woven through these anecdotes are fables, allegories and historical, mythical dramas from the world’s greatest religious beliefs—even to the legends of classical Rome and Greece, with their own pantheons of deities and figures. Each chapter contains a new insight into thinking for today’s companies and forward-thinking entrepreneurs and business managers. For everyone who wants to be a successful CEO of their own life, it’s a book you won’t want to miss.

This book was written for high school students and teachers who love exploring beyond standard math curricula for a deeper understanding of the principles and applications of mathematics. It is also for anyone who loves the pursuit of a problem solution, including both professional and amateur mathematicians. The vehicle that transports us through this exploration is the study and solution of classical and advanced math problems. As a high school math student, an engineer, a businessman and, ultimately, a high school math teacher, I collected and created math problems and solutions that can be used for advanced study. Some of the problems may be very familiar to you; some may not. A few may be quite easy to do; others will take more time. Included are classical proofs and their extensions that are often omitted in today's curricula. Beyond the pure enjoyment of this exploration, we also attempt to find a "deeper understanding" of the math. We address four larger aspects of "understanding," namely: convention, evidence, perspective and connection. A portion of these aspects is addressed in the solutions, themselves. The rest is in comments, which come after the solutions. The comments range widely, including: additional points regarding the math itself, historical factoids, linguistics, suggestions for teachers, some personal experiences regarding the material, etc. Readers who only skim the problems and solutions might still find the applications and comments quite interesting. It is hoped that this book will assist teachers and students alike in exploring the subject of mathematics in a new way, whether using material that is thousands of years old, or recently developed. Each problem can be used as a single assignment, done in a few minutes, or a term project that could require intuition, technique, research and/or fortitude (to plow through it). The material can be adapted for use in the standard classroom, subject to students' ability and the constrictions of uniform curricula. It is, perhaps, more applicable to classrooms with the freedom to experiment with project learning and with longer assignment periods. School math clubs or math teams might find this text a handy reference to hone skills, learn new techniques and satisfy the quest for more exciting material beyond the routine. Although the primary focus here is the application of math principles to math problems, these studies are extended to interdisciplinary examples in the sciences, engineering, finance, social studies, etc. The subject material itself is organized into groups. There are twenty-two geometry/trigonometry problems, many of which are "classic proofs." Though some have been forgotten or ignored at large, they are offered here with some new ideas and approaches. There are ten algebra problems, all of which are extensions of a standard curriculum, and offer fresh insights when studied as a group. Statistics, the newest subject to be added to the high school curriculum, has three problems. And calculus, which is not always studied in high schools, has five problems.

He had a fiancée, she had a man she loved, they did not love each other but they were wonderful together, at night she was his bed mate when he called her, during the day she was an obscure little actor in the show business. He watched coldly from the sidelines, letting her see what was going on in the mortal world, how she was suffering from the cold, how she tried to get close to her goal time and time again, how he did everything he could to destroy her. He made up a false impression that he was in love with her, and when she was about to fall, he cruelly handed her an invitation to marry, and looking into her helpless eyes, he said coldly, "Woman, the game is over!"
