Beyond World Class
Alan Ross Manufacturer: Kaplan Business ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0793149053 |

Leading with people values is at the heart of companies that have moved "beyond world class." More than earning profits, cutting costs, or even making high-quality products, relationship building is a key component of extraordinary companies' long-term success.When relationships matter most, companies rise to a whole new level-beyond world class-according to author and expert Alan M. Ross. Beyond-world-class leaders recognize the importance of integrity in dealing with people as the true bedrock of a company's success. Attaching value to relationships with employees, customers, and suppliers enables companies to achieve the excellence and innovation that spell success.
In Beyond World Class, leaders learn the process of "auditing" for people values, including how to: *Envision the future to create solutions for problems that are not yet visible. *Redirect staff accountability to encourage the company to reach its fullest potential on behalf of the customer. *Implement six human-values principles that will transform any organization.
Practical how-to combined with best practices case studies illuminate for CEOs, executives, and senior managers the strategies that drive organizational excellence. Beyond World Class proves the benefits of incorporating employees, customers, and suppliers into a culture of character.

The decisions were incredibly difficult and the future of the company hung in the balance. Each time the author followed through with integrity he was rewarded and in retrospect making the easy decision (not exercising integrity) would have been disastrous.

Beyond Birth: Social Status in the Emergence of Modern Korea (Harvard East Asian Monographs)
Kyung Moon Hwang Manufacturer: Harvard University Asia Center ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 0674016564 |
Book Description
The social structure of contemporary Korea contains strong echoes of the hierarchical principles and patterns governing stratification in the Choson dynasty (1392-1910): namely, birth and one's position in the bureaucracy. At the beginning of Korea's modern era, the bureaucracy continued to exert great influence, but developments undermined, instead of reinforced, aristocratic dominance. Furthermore, these changes elevated the secondary status groups of the Choson dynasty, those who had belonged to hereditary, endogamous tiers of government and society between the aristocracy and the commoners: specialists in foreign languages, law, medicine, and accounting; the clerks who ran local administrative districts; the children and descendants of concubines; the local elites of the northern provinces; and military officials. These groups had languished in subordinate positions in both the bureaucratic and social hierarchies for hundreds of years under an ethos and organization that, based predominantly on family lineage, consigned them to a permanent place below the Choson aristocracy.
As the author shows, the political disruptions of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, however, rewarded talent instead of birth. In turn, these groups' newfound standing as part of the governing elite allowed them to break into, and often dominate, the cultural, literary, and artistic spheres as well as politics, education, and business.

In Praise of Books: A Cultural History of Cairo's Middle Class, Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century (Middle East Studies Beyond Dominant Paradigms)
Nelly Hanna Manufacturer: Syracuse University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0815630123 |
Book Description
A landmark volume that reveals a lively middle - class Egyptian culture during the first three centuries of Ottoman ruledasha major departure from traditional studies focusing on the ruling/elite class rather than on the popular masses.In fine detail, the author explores economic influences on culture during periods of plenty and poverty. She examines the bond between commerce and escalating literacy via the building of schools, the availability of cheap paper, and the proliferation of books. And she assesses coffeehouses, storytellers, and phantom plays as a principal circuit for the spread of oral middle-class culture. Drawing on published and unpublished sources, she unveils a full-fledged Cairene middle-class culture that bridges the gap between the salons (majalis) of the elite and the common people.
A major contribution to Egypt's cultural record, this book sets a high standard for work on the history of the Middle East.

History: Fiction or Science? Dating methods as offered by mathematical statistics. Eclipses and zodiacs. Chronology Vol.I
Anatoly Fomenko Manufacturer: Delamere Resources ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 2913621074 Release Date: 2007-03-19 |
Product Description
History: Fiction or Science? is the most explosive tractate on history ever written - however, every theory it contains, no matter how unorthodox, is backed by solid scientific data. The book is well-illustrated, contains over 446 graphs and illustrations, copies of ancient manuscripts, and countless facts attesting to the falsity of the chronology used nowadays, which never cease to amaze the reader. Eminent mathematician proves that: Jesus Christ was born in 1153 and crucified in 1186 The Old Testament refers to mediaeval events. Apocalypse was written after 1486. Does this sound uncanny? This version of events is substantiated by hard facts and logic - validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources - to a greater extent than everything you may have read and heard about history before. The dominating historical discourse in its current state was essentially crafted in the XVI century from a rather contradictory jumble of sources such as innumerable copies of ancient Latin and Greek manuscripts whose originals had vanished in the Dark Ages and the allegedly irrefutable proof offered by late mediaeval astronomers, resting upon the power of ecclesial authorities. Nearly all of its components are blatantly untrue! For some of us, it shall possibly be quite disturbing to see the magnificent edifice of classical history to turn into an ominous simulacrum brooding over the snake pit of mediaeval politics. Twice so, in fact: the first seeing the legendary millenarian dust on the ancient marble turn into a mere layer of dirt - one that meticulous unprejudiced research can eventually remove. The second, and greater, attack of unease comes with the awareness of just how many areas of human knowledge still trust the three elephants of the consensual chronology to support them. Nothing can remedy that except for an individual chronological revolution happening in the minds of a large enough number of people.Customer Reviews:
