The Chickenshit Club
From Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jesse Eisinger, "a fast moving, fly-on-the-wall, disheartening look at the deterioration of the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission...It is a book of superheroes" (San Franscisco Review of Books).Why were no bankers put in prison after the financial crisis of 2008? Why do CEOs seem to commit wrongdoing with impunity? The problem goes beyond banks deemed "Too Big to Fail" to almost every large corporation in America-to pharmaceutical companies and auto manufacturers and beyond. The Chickenshit Club-an inside reference to prosecutors too scared of failure and too daunted by legal impediments to do their jobs-explains why in "an absorbing financial history, a monumental work of journalism...a first-rate study of the federal bureaucracy" (Bloomberg Businessweek). Jesse Eisigner begins the story in the 1970s, when the government pioneered the notion that top corporate executives, not just seedy crooks, could commit heinous crimes and go to prison. He brings us to trading desks on Wall Street, to corporate boardrooms and the offices of prosecutors and FBI agents. These revealing looks provide context for the evolution of the Justice Department's approach to pursuing corporate criminals through the early 2000s and into the Justice Department's approach to pursuing corporate criminals through the early 2000s and into the Justice Department of today, including the prosecutorial fiascos, corporate lobbying, trial losses, and culture shifts that have stripped the government of the will and ability to prosecute top corporate executives. "Brave and elegant....a fearless reporter...Eisinger's important and profound book takes no prisoners (The Washington Post). Exposing one of the most important scandals of our time, The Chickenshit Club provides a clear, detailed explanation as to how our Justice Department has come to avoid, bungle, and mismanage the fight to bring these alleged criminals to justice. "This book is a wakeup call...a chilling read, and a needed one" (NPR.org).
Perennial Seller
Bestselling author and marketing strategist Ryan Holiday reveals to creatives of all stripes-authors, entrepreneurs, musicians, filmmakers, fine artists-how a classic work is made and marketed. Classic. Evergreen. Cult. Backlist. We can all identify with products that seem to last forever and just keep selling. But how can we create things that can and should last, especially in an environment where short-term gain and flash-in-the-pan success are so often the benchmark, where Hollywood movies are written off after a weekend or Silicon Valley start-ups are considered to have failed if they don't go viral? Enter Ryan Holiday and his concept of the Perennial Seller, products that exist in every creative industry, timeless, dependable resources and unsung money-makers, increasing in value over time and outlasting and outstretching the competition. Holiday shows us that creating a classic doesn't have to be a fluke or just a matter of luck. In Perennial Seller he takes us back to the first principles of the models and thinking that underpin the creation of something built to last. Featuring interviews with some of the world's greatest entrepreneurs and creatives and grounded in a deep study of the classics from every genre, the book shares a mindset and approach we can all adopt to make and market a classic work. Whether you have a book or a business, a song or the next great screenplay, Holiday reveals the recipe for perennial success.
A jó vezetők esznek utolsónak - Hogyan építsünk összetartó, lelkes és sikeres csapatot?
Miért csak kevesen mondhatják el magukról, hogy imádják a munkájukat?
Mit tehetünk, hogy alkalmazottaink biztonságban érezzék magukat a munkahelyükön?
Hogyan motiváljuk Y generációs munkavállalóinkat?
Képzeljünk el, hogy reggel mindenki lelkesen indul dolgozni, tudja, hogy megbíznak benne, és értékelik a munkáját, este pedig jó érzésekkel tér haza!

Simon Sinek vezetési tanácsadó magával ragadó - a hadseregtől a gyártósorig, a kormányzati intézményektől a befektetési bankokig számos területről vett - igaz történetekkel illusztrálja, hogy vezetőnek lenni elsősorban azt jelenti, hogy gondoskodnunk kell azokról, akiket ránk bíztak.

Originals
WINNER of the Chartered Management Institute's (CMI's) Mangement Book of the Year Awards 2017, and a #1 New York Times Bestseller! "Extraordinary." (JJ Abrams). "Fascinating." (Arianna Huffington). "Inspire creativity and change." (Richard Branson). "One of my favourite thinkers." (Malcolm Gladwell). "Masterful." (Peter Thiel). "One of the great social scientists of our time." (Susan Cain, bestselling author of Quiet). "Fresh research, counter-intuitive insights, lively writing, practical calls to action." (The Financial Times). The New York Times bestselling author examines how people can drive creative, moral, and organisational progress-and how leaders can encourage originality in their organisations. How can we originate new ideas, policies and practices without risking it all? Adam Grant shows how to improve the world by championing novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battling conformity, and bucking outdated traditions. Using surprising studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant explores how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act, and manage fear and doubt. Parents will learn how to nurture originality in children, and leaders will discover how to fight groupthink to build cultures that welcome dissent. Told through dazzling case studies of people going against the grain, you'll encounter an entrepreneur who pitches the reasons not to invest, a woman at Apple who challenged Steve Jobs from three levels below, an analyst who challenged secrecy at the CIA, a billionaire financial wizard who fires employees who don't criticize him, and the TV executive who saved Seinfeld from the cutting room floor. Originals will give you groundbreaking insights about rejecting conformity and how to change the world.
Superbosses
Superbosses exist in nearly every industry, from the glamorous to the mundane. They are defined by consistent success in their fields and their approach to finding, nurturing and developing talent. If you study the top fifty leaders in any field, as many as one-third will have once worked for a superboss. After ten years of research and more than two hundred interviews with superbosses including technology CEO Larry Ellison and fashion pioneer Ralph Lauren, Finkelstein explores this previously unidentified phenomenon - and shows how each of us can emulate their best tactics to create our own powerful networks of extraordinary talent.
The Upstarts
Ten years ago, the idea of getting into a stranger's car, or walking into a stranger's home, would have seemed bizarre and dangerous, but today it's as common as ordering a book aniline's. Uber and Airbnb are household names: redefining neighbourhoods, challenging the way governments regulate business and changing the way we travel. In the spirit of iconic Silicon Valley renegades like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, a new generation of entrepreneurs is sparking yet another cultural upheaval through technology. They are among the Upstarts, idiosyncratic founders with limitless drive and an abundance of self-confidence. Young, hungry and brilliant, they are rewriting the traditional rules of business, changing our day-to-day lives and often sidestepping serious ethical and legal obstacles in the process. The Upstarts is the definitive account of a dawning age of tenacity, creativity, conflict and wealth. In Brad Stone's highly anticipated and riveting account of the most radical companies of the new Silicon Valley, we find out how it all started, and how the world is wildly different than it was ten years ago.

Smarter Faster Better
In his international bestseller The Power of Habit, Pulitzer Prize-winner Charles Duhigg explained why we do what we do. Now he applies the same relentless curiosity and masterful analysis to the question: how can each of us achieve more? Drawing on the very latest findings in neuroscience, psychology and behavioural economics, he demonstrates the eight simple principles that govern productivity. He demonstrates how the most dynamic and effective people - from CEOs to film-makers to software entrepreneurs - deploy them. And he shows how you can, too. "Charles has some wonderful advice for increasing productivity...The tips he highlights have most definitely played a huge part in helping me to build the Virgin brand." (Richard Branson). "In Smarter Faster Better Duhigg finds provocative answers to a riddle of our age: how to become more productive (by two times, or even ten times) and less busy." (Jim Collins). "There are valuable lessons in Smarter Faster Better...I never felt like putting it down." (Financial Times).

A 100 leggazdagabb 2017
Április 27-től kapható A 100 leggazdagabb 2017, a magyar milliárdosokat rangsoroló kiadvány, amely idén 16. alkalommal jelenik meg. A rangsor és a vagyonosok egyaránt sok érdekességgel szolgálnak; a TOP10-ben is történt változás, a százas listára pedig újabb szereplők kerültek fel.
A milliárdosok országos rangsora mellett A 100 leggazdagabb áttekintést ad a feltörekvő vállalkozásokról és vállalkozókról, regionális listákba sorolja az ország legtehetségesebb, legsikeresebb vagyonos embereit. A 100 leggazdagabb 2016-os kiadásában közel 300-an kerültek fel a regionális listákra. A vagyoni rangsor mellett immár hagyományosan közöljük a magyar politikai elit legbefolyásosabb szereplőinek listáját is. A hangsúlyozottan szubjektív összeállítást az ország tíz legelismertebb politológusának véleménye alapján állítjuk össze - 2017-ben már negyedik alkalommal. Ez a befolyásbarométer jól árnyalja azt a képet, amelyet a gazdagság alapján készült rangsor mutat, hiszen kiderül belőle, hogy a leggazdagabbak nem feltétlenül a legbefolyásosabbak.
A More Beautiful Question
To get a great answer, you need to ask the perfect question. Warren Berger revives the lost art of questioning.
In this groundbreaking book, journalist and innovation expert Warren Berger shows that one of the most powerful forces for igniting change in business and in our daily lives is a simple, under-appreciated tool--one that has been available to us since childhood. Questioning--deeply, imaginatively, "beautifully"--can help us identify and solve problems, come up with game-changing ideas, and pursue fresh opportunities. So why are we often reluctant to ask "Why?"
Berger's surprising findings reveal that even though children start out asking hundreds of questions a day, questioning "falls off a cliff" as kids enter school. In an education and business culture devised to reward rote answers over challenging inquiry, questioning isn't encouraged--and, in fact, is sometimes barely tolerated.
And yet, as Berger shows, the most creative, successful people tend to be expert questioners. They've mastered the art of inquiry, raising questions no one else is asking--and finding powerful answers. The author takes us inside red-hot businesses like Google, Netflix, IDEO, and Airbnb to show how questioning is baked into their organizational DNA. He also shares inspiring stories of artists, teachers, entrepreneurs, basement tinkerers, and social activists who changed their lives and the world around them--by starting with a "beautiful question."

Az üzleti világban a coaching egykor a legfelső vezetők és a feltörekvő titánok kivételezett területe volt, mára azonban a cégek elfogadott eszköztárának része lett az alkalmazottak, menedzserek, középső és felső vezetők személyes fejlődésének, és a szervezet sikeréhez való hozzájárulásának elősegítésében.
