Scaling Up
Summary
It's been over a decade since Verne Harnish's best-selling book Mastering the Rockefeller Habits was first released. Scaling Up: How a Few Companies Make It...and Why the Rest Don't is the first major revision of this business classic. In Scaling Up, Harnish and his team share practical tools and techniques for building an industry-dominating business. These approaches have been honed from over three decades of advising tens of thousands of CEOs and executives and helping them navigate the increasing complexities (and weight) that come with scaling up a venture. This book is written so everyone - from front line employees to senior executives - can get aligned in contributing to the growth of a firm. There's no reason to do it alone, yet many top leaders feel like they are the ones dragging the rest of the organization up the S-curve of growth. The goal of this book is to help you turn what feels like an anchor into wind at your back - creating a company where the team is engaged; the customers are doing your marketing; and everyone is making money. To accomplish this, Scaling Up focuses on the four major decision areas every company must get right: People, Strategy, Execution, and Cash. The book includes a series of new one-page tools including the updated One-Page Strategic Plan and the Rockefeller Habits ChecklistTM, which more than 40,000 firms around the globe have used to scale their companies successfully - many to $1 billion and beyond. Running a business is ultimately about freedom. Scaling Up shows business leaders how to get their organizations moving in sync to create something significant and enjoy the ride. Bonus material for Scaling Up may be found at www.ScalingUp.com.

Deadly Consequences
Summary
Someone...or something...is stalking the citizens of Miami. First, the chief of the triage morgue at Dade County Hospital is strangled; the skulls of two homeless men are crushed under a highway overpass, followed by drug dealers, frat boys, and workers at a local diner brutally bludgeoned. Detectives Issy Ruiz and Andy Molinaro can find no motive, no clues, and no links among the victims, just a description of four muscular young men with fixed eyes and stiff gaits as though animated by some otherworldly force. Amidst a growing public panic and an anti-cop smear campaign by the media, with no leads, Molinaro and Ruiz turn to Dr. Robert Merriweather, one of the country's most prominent forensic oral and maxillofacial surgeons and Issy's old boss, for help. With the dogged brilliance that has become his trademark, Merriweather begins investigating possible scientific explanations for this unexplained "zombieism." Along the way, he finds links between the murderers' conditions and his own patient, a Haitian man practiced in the art of voodoo; he also realizes there's a much larger, more nefarious force behind the zombie murders. As Merriweather slowly begins to untangle an unholy alliance of Big Pharma, ex-military and corrupt scientists, he risks losing a dear friend - the woman he loves - and possibly even his own life.

Get a Coach | Be a Coach
Summary
A step-by-step guide to igniting the coaching culture inside your team or organization. Whether you work at a start-up, tech giant, or Fortune 500 company, we all encounter the same problems that arise every day in our quest for results: stubborn obstacles that are difficult to break through, lofty goals and objectives we are accountable to achieve, new and challenging tasks that we’ve never done before. In our efforts to meet these challenges and boost our potential with courses, trainings, and self-help materials, we may be overlooking our greatest resource for achieving breakthrough performance - the people around us. How, exactly, do we tap into this reserve of expertise that already exists in the teams and organizations we work in every day? The team at the coaching and leadership training company Zero to Ten proposes the way: Self-Directed Performance Coaching. A far cry from the fruitless workshops and meaningless training initiatives that often don’t work, this modern methodology takes a bottom-up approach that shifts the responsibility of leading the coach-learner relationship away from the coach and into the hands of the learner. Now, everyone, at every level, can have a coach anytime they need it and for anything, they might be doing. Anyone from brand-new hires to senior leaders can benefit from Self-Directed Performance Coaching. All you have to do is: Identify your "Most Important Thing" - that big presentation you want to nail, client you want to acquire, or promotion you want to attain. Find a coach who’s a "Level Up" - someone who has paved the path for you by already achieving your "Most Important Thing". Coach your coach - navigate each coaching session with clear-cut strategies designed to capitalize on your time together. Be a coach - share your newly gained abilities with others.
