To create an exceptional brand experience, remember that sometimes less is more.

Companies are forever being more creative in their branding strategies, building identities ranging from the warm-and-fuzzy to the ultra-cool and edgy. But it seems that many of these enterprises forgot that a brand, at its heart, is a promise to deliver. If the brand experience does not live up to that promise, customers will take their business elsewhere.

Brand Real is a business strategy guide for making a brand’s promise stand up at every customer touch point. Packed with proven, repeatable management practices, the book shows how to establish a clean brand architecture while avoiding the needless complexity that has tripped up many promising companies.

Author Laurence Vincent presents cautionary tales of supposed brand superstars as well as instructive case studies of genuine brand giants like American Express, Apple, Cisco, Google, Qualcomm, Virgin, and others. Readers will learn how to connect the outward-facing elements of their brands—logos, advertising, imagery, communications—directly to the core elements of business strategy and forge a powerful and lasting connection with their customers.

Laurence Vincent leads the strategy practice at the Los Angeles office of Siegel+Gale, one of the world’s premier strategic branding companies. His clients have included Coca-Cola, MasterCard, Microsoft, National Football League, Qualcomm, Sony Playstation, Southwest Airlines, The Four Seasons, The Home Depot, and vitaminwater.

From the collapse of once high-flying stocks to the financial news media’s blow-by-blow coverage of countless financial scandals, the last few years have witnessed a financial horror story of epic proportions. The cost of these recent events has been ultimately borne by the investor and the consumer public, and the misguidance of investment analysts, bankers, accountants, and corporate managers has undermined the public’s trust in these individuals and the institutions they serve. As a result, it is now more imperative than ever for working professionals, whose lives, investment portfolios, and bank accounts have been compromised by the carelessness of others, to seek and comprehend the basics of corporate finance and corporate accounting.

For the past five years, The Wall Street MBA has been helping both novice and experienced professionals across a wide range of career disciplines maneuver the world of corporate accounting and finance with a heightened sense of confidence. Now, at a time when readers need it most, Reuben Advani provides important updates to the first edition of The Wall Street MBA while retaining the foundations that have made this comprehensive primer to the major concepts covered in a standard MBA finance and accounting program so perennially successful. Peppered with true stories and amusing anecdotes, this concise, easy-to-read, and interactive resource teaches MBA concepts by applying theory to real-life examples. Readers will learn how to review financial statements, analyze earnings, detect fraud, assess stock prices, value companies, and structure mergers and acquisitions, among other exercises.

IkeaThe IKEA Edge
Building Global Growth and Social Good at the World’s Most Iconic Home Store

Author: Anders Dahlvig

IKEA’s former CEO reveals the unique strategy he used to lead his company to profit and growth through the worst global financial crisis in history

With Anders Dahlvig at the helm from 1999-2009, IKEA enjoyed unprecedented success. The furniture giant averaged 11% yearly sales growth and annual operating profits in excess of 10%. The company hired more than 70,000 new employees and opened new stores in the emerging markets of Eastern Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. All this in the midst of a global recession that hit the retail furniture industry particularly hard.

The IKEA Edge reveals the strategy Dahlvig used to thrive in both good and bad times—a combination of traditional business goals like profit and growth and the progressive interests of social responsibility and environmental stewardship. Dahlvig proves that these objectives, which are usually viewed as opposites, are not only compatible, but can work in harmony to benefit the organization, employees, customers, and the world at large.

 

 

Praise for The IKEA Edge

“A very good book from a talented business leader [that links] values, culture, and the achievement of business and social objectives together. I have read it now three times and learned something from every passage.”
—Michael Spence, recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, 2001

“With Anders Dahlvig’s recommendations, we could solve many of the world’s problems by persuading the big multinationals to change their Memorandum and Articles of Association. Big business working in the interests of humanity would be a powerful tool.”
—Gordon Roddick, cofounder of The Body Shop

“The IKEA Edge is a fascinating case study of an entrepreneurial company’s growth to maturity. Anders Dahlvig is incisive and surprisingly straightforward in sharing the IKEA story. As a fourth-generation family business owner, I recognize the inherent paradox of building a ‘good,’ value-driven company and managing for profit. Anders Dahlvig proves it can be done.”
—Antonia Axson Johnson, Chairperson, Axel Johnson AB

True North Groups True North Groups
A Powerful Path to Personal and Leadership Development

For the millions of people who are searching for greater meaning and intimacy in their lives, this book will help them to grow as leaders and as people—and to stay on course to their True North.

Drawing on recent research in psychology and sociology, George and Baker explain why these groups are so critical to our personal and professional success. They cover every detail from choosing members, establishing norms, and dealing with conflicts to evaluating progress and deciding when it’s time to restructure. True North Groups provides a wealth of practical resources, including suggested topics for the first twelve meetings advice on facilitating groups, techniques to evaluate group satisfaction, and much more.

“At various times,” George and Baker write, “a True North Group will function as a nurturer, a grounding rod, a truth teller, and a mirror. At other times the group functions as a challenger or an inspirer. When people are wracked with self-doubts, it helps build their courage and ability to cope.”

 All too often, we find ourselves forced to confront life’s challenges on our own. What we need is an intimate group with whom we can examine our beliefs and share our lives. For the past thirty-five years, Bill George and Doug Baker have found the answer in True North Groups—small groups that gather regularly to explore members’ greatest challenges. These groups provide opportunities for the honest conversations essential to develop the self-awareness, compassion, emotional intelligence, and authenticity required to be inspired human beings and inspiring leaders.

He is a board member of ExxonMobil, Goldman Sachs, Carnegie Endowment, World Economic Forum USA, and Tyrone Guthrie Theater. He is the author of four bestselling books: Authentic Leadership (2003), True North (2007), Finding Your True North: A Personal Guide (2008), and 7 Lessons for Leading in Crisis(2009).

ZAPPOS. The name has come to stand for a new standard of customer service, an amazing online shopping experience, a great place to work, and the most impressive transformational business success story of our time. Simply put, Zappos is revolutionizing business and changing lives.

Now, Joseph Michelli, author of the internationally bestselling business books Prescription for Excellence and The Starbucks Experience, explains how Zappos does it—and how you can do it in your industry.

The Zappos Experience takes you through—and beyond—the playful, offbeat company culture Zappos has become famous for. Michelli reveals what occurs behind the scenes at Zappos, showing how employees at all levels operate on a day-today basis while providing the “big picture” leadership methods that have earned the company $1 billion in annual gross sales during the last ten years—with almost no advertising. Michelli breaks the approach down into five key elements:

  • Serve a Perfect Fit—create bedrock company values
  • Make it Effortlessly Swift—deliver a customer experience with ease
  • Step into the Personal—connect with customers authentically
  • S T R E T C H—grow people and products
  • Play to Win—play hard, work harder

When you enhance the customer experience, increase employee engagement, and create an energetic culture, you can’t help but succeed. Zappos has woven these five key components into a seamless strategy that’s the envy of business leaders.

Now that strategy is yours.

With The Zappos Experience, Joseph Michelli delivers a package for instant success right to your doorstep. All you have to do is open and use it.

 

 

Endorsement

“In your hands is a manifesto on how Zappos completely blew away the standard of delivering a consumer-centric experience and a revolutionary company culture. Joseph helps us all understand how to achieve a little more of that Zappos magic.”
—Eric Ryan, method cofounder and person against dirty

“If you’re looking for an inspirational path for creating a likable, trustworthy, and wow! organization, you’ve hit the mother lode.”
—Guy Kawasaki, former chief evangelist of Apple and author of Enchantment: The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds, and Actions

“This book provides a roadmap to a successful business by taking inspiration and examples from one of the most innovative, progressive companies of our time. Don’t just read it; use it.”
—Tony Hawk, professional skateboarder and author of HAWK —Occupation: Skateboarder and How Did I Get Here? The Ascent of an Unlikely CEO

“Thanks to Joseph Michelli, you can learn exactly how Zappos hit it big and how you can too. By using the five principles Joseph has distilled, you can supercharge your efforts and start down the path to legendary success.”
—Mark Sanborn, President, Sanborn & Associates, Inc., and author of The Fred Factor and You Don’t Need a Title to Be a Leader

“Often, business owners look at media darlings like Zappos with their mouths agape, full of awe but unable to take action. For those eager to do more than watch, Joseph Michelli deconstructs the Zappos story and makes it attainable.”
—Seth Godin, author of Poke the Box

Successful leaders know that leadership is less often about having all the answers-and more often about asking the right questions. The challenge lies in being able to step back, reflect, and ask the key questions that are critical to your performance and your organization’s effectiveness.

In “What to Ask the Person in the Mirror”, HBS professor and business leader Robert Kaplan presents a process for asking the big questions that will enable you to diagnose problems, change course if necessary, and advance your career.

He lays out areas of inquiry, including questions such as:  

  1. Do I clearly articulate my vision and top priorities?
  2.  Does the way I spend my time enable me to achieve my top priorities?
  3. Do I give subordinates timely and direct feedback they can act on? Have I developed a succession roadmap?
  4. Is my leadership style still effective, and does it reflect who I truly am?

This highly readable and practical guide helps you learn to ask the right questions-and work through the answers in ways that are right for you. By asking these questions, you can craft new strategies for staying on top of your game.
