Uncontainable by Kip Tindell Pdf

Kip Tindell, the founder and CEO of The Container Store, reveals the seven secrets to keeping both customers AND employees happy and all fully engaged. "You're going to sell what? Empty Boxes?" Back in 1978, Kip Tindell (Chairman & CEO of The Container Store) and his partners had the vision that people were eager to find solutions to save both space and time - and they were definitely onto something. A new category of the retailing industry was born - storage and organization. Today, with stores nationwide and with more than 5,000 loyal employees, the company couldn't be stronger. Over the years, The Container Store has been lauded for its commitment to its employees and focus on its original concept and inventory mix as the formula for its success. But for Tindell, the goal never has been growth for growth's sake. Rather, it is to adhere to the company's values-based business philosophies, which center on an employee-first culture, superior customer service and strict merchandising. The Container Store has been named on Fortune magazine's "100 Best Companies To Work For" list for 15 consecutive years. Even better, The Container Store has millions of loyal customers. In Uncontainable, Tindell reveals his approach for building a business where everyone associated with it thrives through embodying the tenets of Conscious Capitalism. Tindell's seven Foundation Principles are the roadmap that drives everyone at The Container Store to achieve the goals of the company. Uncontainable shows how other businesses can adapt this approach toward what Tindell calls the most profitable, sustainable and fun way of doing business. Tindell is that rare CEO who fully embraces the "Golden Rule" of business - where all stakeholders - employees, customers, vendors, shareholder, the community - are successful through a harmonic balance of win-wins.

From USA Today Bestselling Author Laura Scott Three complete books in one volume! Steele - Pregnant and in a killer's crosshairs! When Harper Crane is nearly abducted outside the law office where she works as an administrative assistant, she’s grateful two police officers are there to rescue her. At seven months pregnant she has no idea why someone is coming after her, especially since her criminal ex-husband is dead. She wants nothing more than to return to her boring life, but the attacks against her escalate, giving her little choice but to accept Steele’s protection. Tactical police officer Steele Delaney believes someone within Harper’s ex-husband’s criminal enterprise is responsible for attacking her. But when key evidence is found in Harper’s apartment, he tries to understand why she’s being framed. He only trusts his fellow officers, and members of the Finnegan family. Staying under the radar isn’t easy, but neither is protecting his heart. Can he keep Harper and her baby safe long enough to plan their future? Brock - Marriage under fire! Tactical police officer Brock Greer can’t bring himself to divorce his wife despite how she’d left him five months ago for another man.

And even more horrified when that same man pulls a gun, pointing it at Liana’s head. Liana Wong has no idea why Brock had shown up at the restaurant in his police uniform, but worse he’d blown her cover. When she’s tracked to several locations, it’s clear that the leader of the sex trafficking ring wants her dead. And the only way to survive is to team up with Brock, despite his deep mistrust. Will working together to destroy a common enemy save their marriage? Raelyn - Secrets of the past...

She demands answers, going as far as to slap cuffs on him. They barely step out of the church when gunfire erupts, bullets slamming uncomfortably close to the pastor. A second attack mere hours later, proves Isaiah is in danger. But why? Who would want to kill a church pastor? Isaiah Washington wasn’t always a believer. He’d grown up in the hood and had broken the law more times than he cared to count. But he’d managed to turn his life around and accepts his duty is to save other kids, too. Raelyn doesn’t agree, they couldn’t be more opposite. But as they comb through the secrets of his past to uncover who is trying to kill him, he dreams of a future—with her. Can he convince her to give their love a chance?
