Leaders Eat Last is the highly anticipated follow up to Simon Sinek’s global bestseller Start With Why. Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work. This is not a crazy, idealised notion. In many successful organisations, great leaders are creating environments in which teams trust each other so deeply that they would put their lives on the line for each other. Yet other teams, no matter what incentives were offered, are doomed to infighting, fragmentation and failure. Why? Today’s workplaces tend to be full of cynicism, paranoia and self-interest. But the best organisations foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a Circle of Safety.

Scaling Up Excellence: Getting to more without settling for less By Robert I. Sutton & Huggy Rao
Whether your organization is big or small, profit or non-profit, and no matter what role you play, you obviously wish to see your place of work prosper and endure. The raw truth though is that in this day and age it is survival of the fittest, most creative, and best performing teams. Moreover, to meet these demanding qualifications an organization must seek growth and change, both of which can offer a host of additional benefits ranging from increased efficiency through economies of scale to augmented power to a stronger reputation in the market place to enhanced capability enabling your organization to better weather market fluctuations to higher profits.
The two authors also review attempts at improvement in a variety of organizations from hospitals to schools to elsewhere that either worked or didn’t, plus they tell you when one corporate mindset is preferable and when it’s best to adjust for local demands. However, during the process of growth and change organizations face several types of risks such as a loss of focus, a drop in quality, a weakening organizational culture, and more. To steer an organization clear of these dangers, leaders have to work hard to come up with just the right success formula. One key ingredient to this formula is coming up with something that other organizations don’t have or don’t do as well and building on that unique excellence to give the organization a sustainable edge. So you know you have to grow and evolve and say you’re looking to generate a culture of excellence in your organization but don’t know where to begin. Or perhaps you’ve identified a source of excellence in one of your own units 10
and all you need to do now is make it organization-wide. But how? If this is the situation you’re facing then it is time to get a copy of Scaling Up Excellence. Bestselling author Robert Sutton, with titles like The Knowing-Doing Gap, and Weird Ideas That Work, has collaborated with Hayagreeva “Huggy” Rao who authored Market Rebels: How Activists Make or Break Radical Innovation to bring us Scaling Up Excellence, an essential management guide that reveals the results of the research that they carried out for nearly a decade to unravel the secrets to creating and spreading outstanding organizational performance.
review
Do these gentlemen deserve your time? They most certainly do. Looking at the authors I see that Sutton is a professor of management science and engineering at Stanford University and co-founder of the Center of Work Technology and Organizations, Stanford Technology Ventures Program. He was also named one of Business Week’s 10 B-School All-Stars who are described as “professors who are influencing contemporary business thinking far beyond academia.” Rao, in the meantime, is the Atholl McBean Professor of Organizational Behavior at Stanford University who studies social and cultural causes of organisational change. What’s more is that he is also recipient of the W. Richard Scott Distinguished Award for Scholarship from the American Sociological Association and Kellogg School of Management’s Sidney Levy Teaching Award. Given all this, I’m quite certain you’ll want to read what these two influential and insightful professors have to share with you on far-reaching organizational excellence. This is a book every organizational leader should consult as Sutton and Rao draw on case studies from Silicon Valley enterprises to non-profit organizations to offer invaluable insight into good and bad organizational cultures and a guide to fostering and stimulating excellence. And you’ll be filling the margins with notes as you read up on what are called “premortems” to make crucial decisions regarding change. What is the magic number for team size? According to Sutton and Rao, seven yields the desired results. The two authors also review attempts at improvement in a variety of organizations from hospitals to schools to elsewhere that either worked or didn’t, plus they tell you when one corporate mindset is preferable and when it’s best to adjust for local demands. Scaling Up Excellence holds the key to getting the whole organization to support sensational ideas that may have been developed by just a few people as well as expanding your organisation without losing focus. It guides you through the process of scaling up that which is best in your organization to attain long-term success. You’ll discover as you go through the book’s pages practical advice backed by essential research and clear examples that can help you spread excellence throughout your organization. Scaling Up Excellence is a good read not just for entrepreneurs who want their firms to grow but also for CEOs who are looking to circumvent stagnation as well as non-profit organizational leaders who hope to make an even greater difference in the world. So make sure you make space on your desk for this must-have management guide!

The Bootlegger is set in 1920 with prohibition and bootlegging in full swing. When Joseph Van Dorn is shot and nearly killed, his friend and employee, Isaac Bell, swears to hunt down the lawbreakers, not knowing what he’s getting into.

Bell is facing a team of Bolshevik assassins and saboteurs intent on overthrowing the US government. An adventure laced with secret cargo and assassins, The Bootlegger is the seventh of Clive Cussler’s Isaac Bell novels, following The Spy, The Thief and The Striker.

In An Anatomy of Violence, world-leading criminal mind authority Adrian Raine offers the latest answers to questions like “What causes violence?,” “Is it treatable?” “Are some born criminals?” Raine discusses the latest research on murderers’ brains, how anti-social behaviour is complex and based on the interaction between genetics and one’s biological and social environment and what this explains about criminal behaviour. But the conclusions point to philosophical and moral issues. What are the criminal justice system implications? Should we condemn individuals with little or no behavioral control or act preemptively with people strongly biologically predisposed to becoming dangerous?

American Tourister Smart Travel Pillow & 2-Way Magic Pillow Say you’ve just finished a great book purchased from Asia Books and you’re in mid-air with little leg room, on a train stuck sitting up the whole way or on a bus devoid of a comfortable sitting position with hours to go to your destination. No matter what your travel mode, it isn’t always easy to get some shuteye. And you’re going to want to dream about what you just read. Why not try the soft and comfy American Tourister Smart Travel Pillow whose ergonomic shape supports your head and neck? Available in turquoise and white or green and white, its compact size, light weight, and smart hook which attaches to belts or bags make it easy to take along. There’s also the 2-Way Magic Pillow from which you can choose a u-shape or pillow-shape depending on your needs plus the available color combinations of black plus multi-landmark and white plus purple landmark make it even more fun!
