Los 11 poderes del líder: El fútbol como escuela de vida
by Jorge ValdanoLas enseñanzas del fútbol para liderar y transformar equipos. «Todo juego de equipo convertido en espectáculo es un gran simulador de la vida que pone a prueba los límites individuales y el espíritu colectivo.»Jorge Valdano Jorge Valdano parte del convencimiento de que el fútbol, al igual que el resto de los deportes, nos ayuda a comprender al ser humano y, muy especialmente, aquellos estímulos que lo activan para alcanzar sus desafíos. Todo juego de equipo convertido en espectáculo es un gran simulador de la vida que pone a prueba los límites individuales y el espíritu colectivo. También nuestros miedos. De una experiencia que nos pone con tanta naturalidad y con tanta frecuencia al borde mismo de la exageración, se vuelve siempre con conocimientos que pueden ser aplicables a la cultura, la comunicación y, como demuestra este libro a través de múltiples ejemplos, también a la empresa.Los 11 poderes del líder parte de las experiencias del ámbito del deporte para ahondar en temas como el liderazgo, el trabajo en equipo, la motivación y todo lo que agita a un equipo de alta competición. A través de once grandes valores, ejemplificados por entrenadores, jugadores y momentos dramáticos del deporte que mueve el mundo, el autor resume los elementos clave del liderazgo en el siglo XXI. Los expertos opinan:«Jorge Valdano, en este libro, no habla propiamente sobre el fútbol, pero sí desde el fútbol. Analiza sus rasgos más genéricos, en cuanto "escuela de vida", con la genericidad capaz de envolver a otros muchos "mundos". Por ello los once poderes del líder que Valdano delimita pueden ser aplicados a las empresas, a las academias militares, incluso a la formación de clérigos. Es decir, puede servir de inspiración a todos aquellos que están comprometidos con el desarrollo de una obra cuya recurrencia no tiene límites en principio, puesto que desborda los del "ego diminuto".»Gustavo Bueno, filósofo «Este libro es un golazo de Valdano: indispensable para los aficionados, relevante para los empresarios y delicioso para cualquier lector.»Santiago Segurola, periodista «Como si de una alineación de fútbol se tratara, Jorge Valdano analiza once claves que definen a un líder. De lectura amena, plagado de anécdotas protagonizadas por algunos de los mejores futbolistas de todos los tiempos, este libro nos demuestra como la sencillez, la pasión por lo que uno hace, la credibilidad o la conciencia de equipo han sido esenciales para que estos deportistas alcancen el éxito. Estas mismas claves, aplicadas en el día a día, contribuyen tanto a fortalecer el liderazgo empresarial como a lograr una mayor autorrealización personal, siempre desde una perspectiva constructiva que busca crear, a largo plazo, una sociedad mejor.»Ángel Cano, consejero delegado del Grupo BBVA
11 Rules for Creating Value in the Social Era
by Nilofer MerchantThe era of social technologies provides seemingly endless opportunity, both for individuals and organizations. But it's also the subject of seemingly endless hype. Yes, social tools allow us to do things entirely differently-but how do you really capitalize on that?In 11 Rules for Creating Value in the Social Era, the newest in Harvard Business Review's line of digital books (HBR Singles), social strategist and insightful blogger Nilofer Merchant argues that "social" is much more than "media." Smart companies are letting social become the backbone of their business models, increasing their speed and flexibility by pursuing openness and fluidity. These organizations don't operate like the powerful "800-pound gorillas" of yesteryear-but instead act more like a herd of 800 gazelles, moving together across a savannah, outrunning the competition.This ebook offers new rules for creating value, leading, and innovating in our rapidly changing world. These social era rules are both provocative and grounded in reality-they cover thorny challenges like forsaking hierarchy and control for collaboration; getting the most out of all talent; allowing your customers to become co-creators in your organization; inspiring employees through purpose in a world where money alone no longer wields that power; and soliciting community investment in an idea so that it can take hold and grow.The strategies of the Industrial Era-or even the Information Age-will not be enough for the Social Era. Read 11 Rules for Creating Value in the Social Era to get ready to meet the challenges of this new age and thrive.HBR Singles provide brief yet potent business ideas, in digital form, for today's thinking professional.Editorial ReviewsNamed a "Best Business Book of 2012" by Fast Company"Ms. Merchant's new work provides a provocative vision of the future of both what organizations and what work might look like, yet grounded in real businesses today...this will inspire ideas and thought about what running a business really means." - Forbes.com"Every CEO, CMO, and decision maker needs to read this.

110 Years of Taxation from Pitt to Lloyd George: A Comparative Iconographical Analysis
by Henry SlessThis book offers a multi-disciplinary visual analysis of British taxation history during the long nineteenth century. Focusing specifically on cartoons from the period, the book utilises the author’s innovative PEARL methodology to analyse the impact of Publishers’ attitudes, Editorial techniques, Artistic methods, Readers’ responses, and Legal context on historical images published in this period.The book outlines a financial and visual context for the long nineteenth century, discussing the importance of political images during a period when the relationship between the state and the taxpayer was fundamentally shifting. The state of public finance in Britain as a whole, including the growth of institutional finance, the economic impact of wars, and attempts to reduce the national debt, are considered alongside an exploration of the recurring iconographical styles of the period. The book situates the visual history of taxation within a wider context of politicised images responding to fiscal events, and uses the PEARL analysis technique to pinpoint nuanced and evolving public attitudes towards tax structures in Britain, as well as comparative developments in the US such as the impact of the Civil War and income tax debates. The book will be of interest to financial historians and academic cultural historians, as well as all those interested in visual culture and political imagery.

12: The Inside Story of Tom Brady's Fight for Redemption
by Casey Sherman Dave WedgeThe incredible story of Tom Brady and the Patriots' tumultuous 2016 season: from national disgrace to the greatest Super Bowl comeback of all time. In January 2015, rumors circulated that the New England Patriots--a team long suspected of abiding by the "if you ain't cheating you ain't trying" philosophy--had used under-inflated footballs in their playoff victory against the Indianapolis Colts. As evidence began to build, however, a full on NFL investigation was launched, exploding an unsubstantiated rumor into an intense scandal that would lead news coverage for weeks. As shockwaves rippled throughout the NFL system, the very legitimacy of one of the league's most popular teams and their star quarterback began to erode, even as the Patriots and Brady went on to win that year's Super Bowl. But as the celebrations gave way to the offseason, the investigation only intensified, reopening old wounds between the Patriots' powerful owner, Robert Kraft, and the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell. Brady was devastated and seemingly more nervous in front of a judge that on a game-winning drive. When the dust settled, Brady would be able to play again - but only after watching the first four games of the 2016 season from his couch. The pressure couldn't have been more intense: Brady's legacy was at stake. If he failed to return to his usual self, all the critics and even the history books would have to put a giant asterisk next to his name, signifying one thing: he was a cheater.12 is the propulsive story of this gritty comeback. It's a drama that unfolds in the locker room, the court room, and under the brightest lights in all of sports--the Super Bowl. Now for the first time, readers will have an exclusive look into Tom Brady's experience and the NFL's shocking strangle-hold on their players. With unprecedented access to Brady himself, his teammates, and his lawyers, we will see just how a football legend went up against one of the largest corporations in the world to stage the greatest comeback in NFL history and emerge a god of the gridiron.

Las 12 leyes de la negociación: O eres estratega o eres un ingenuo
by Alfred Font BarrotSer estratega no es lo opuesto a ser sincero, ni a ser honesto o decente. Ser estratega es lo opuesto a ser ingenuo. Las buenas intenciones también deben ser administradas con inteligencia. La negociación es una herramienta consustancial al ser humano, en la política, en el trabajo y en las relaciones personales. Y saber negociar no consiste en ser una persona dura o avasalladora, ni en controlar emocionalmente una situación. Basta con emplear planteamientos estratégicos constructivos. Este libro desvela la esencia común de todo tipo de negociación y establece unos principios universales y prácticos, que se ilustran con sucesos y situaciones reales extraídos de la historia, de la literatura y del mundo de la empresa. Negociar con éxito no resulta una tarea difícil. Es cuestión de practicar aplicando las 12 leyes que invariablemente determinan toda negociación, y que parten del principio de que ser inteligente es mejor que seragresivo. Estas leyes constituyen una valiosa fuente de inspiración cuando Alfred Font expone de manera brillante los casos en que fueron aplicadas bien, o ilustra aquellos en que no las tuvieron en cuenta, y sus consecuencias.

The $12 Million Stuffed Shark: The Curious Economics of Contemporary Art
by Don ThompsonWhy would a smart New York investment banker pay $12 million for the decaying, stuffed carcass of a shark? By what alchemy does Jackson Pollock's drip painting No. 5, 1948 sell for $140 million? Intriguing and entertaining, The $12 Million Stuffed Shark is a Freakonomics approach to the economics and psychology of the contemporary art world. Why were record prices achieved at auction for works by 131 contemporary artists in 2006 alone, with astonishing new heights reached in 2007? Don Thompson explores the money, lust, and self-aggrandizement of the art world in an attempt to determine what makes a particular work valuable while others are ignored. This book is the first to look at the economics and the marketing strategies that enable the modern art market to generate such astronomical prices. Drawing on interviews with both past and present executives of auction houses and art dealerships, artists, and the buyers who move the market, Thompson launches the reader on a journey of discovery through the peculiar world of modern art. Surprising, passionate, gossipy, revelatory, The $12 Million Stuffed Shark reveals a great deal that even experienced auction purchasers do not know.
The $12 Million Stuffed Shark: The Curious Economics of Contemporary Art
by Don ThompsonThe $12 Million Stuffed Shark delves into the economics and psychology of the contemporary art world – artists, dealers, auction houses, and wealthy collectors. If it’s true – as so often said – that 85 percent of new contemporary art is bad, why were record prices achieved at auction for works by 131 contemporary artists in 2006 alone, with astonishing new heights reached in 2007? The $12 Million Stuffed Shark explores money, lust, and the self-aggrandizement of possession in an attempt to determine what makes a particular work of art valuable while others are ignored. In the style of the bestselling Freakonomics, Thompson uses economic concepts to explain the unique practices employed, to great success, in the international contemporary art market. He discusses branding and marketing and how various strategies are tailored to a wealthy clientele, driving a "must-have" culture. Drawing on exclusive interviews with both past and present executives of auction houses and art dealerships, artists, and the buyers who move the market, Thompson launches the reader on a surprising journey of discovery.

by Ryan Daniel MoranThis is the road map to a seven-figure business . . . in one year or less The word "entrepreneur" is today's favorite buzzword, and any aspiring business owner has likely encountered an overwhelming number of so-called "easy paths to success." The truth is that building a real, profitable, sustainable business requires thousands of hours of commitment, grit, and hard work.

By cutting out the noise and providing a clear and proven plan, this roadmap helps even brand-new entrepreneurs make decisions quickly, get their product up for sale, and launch it to a crowd that is ready and waiting to buy. This one-year plan will guide you through the three stages to your first $1 million: • The Grind (Months 0-4): This step-by-step plan will help you identify a winning product idea, target customers that are guaranteed to buy, secure funding, and take your first sale within your first four months. • The Growth (Months 5 - 8): Once you're in business, you will discover how to use cheap and effective advertising strategies to get your product to at least 25 sales per day, so you can prove you have a profitable business. • The Gold (Months 9-12): It's time to establish series of products available for sale, until you are averaging at least 100 sales per day, getting you closer to the million-dollar mark every single day. Through his training sessions at Capitalism.com, Ryan Daniel Moran has helped new and experienced entrepreneurs launch scalable and sustainable online businesses. He's seen more than 100 entrepreneurs cross the seven-figure barrier, many of whom go on to sell their businesses. If your goal is to be a full-time entrepreneur, get ready for one chaotic, stressful, and rewarding year. If you have the guts to complete it, you will be the proud owner of a million-dollar business and be in a position to call your own shots for life.
