The New Competitors
Takes a critical, in-depth look at the values and attitudes of today's executive and explains how management can improve performance by finding, motivating, and keeping this new business elite. This book is the result of interviews with more than 400 managers at over 300 companies, including those on Fortune's 'most admired' list, as well as smaller, highly innovative firms. Written by one of the most eminent members of the Harvard Business School, it skillfully narrates the stories of how individual managers have made big gains--or losses--for their companies and shows that an organization's success in the marketplace is dependent on its workforce, especially its managers. Mills' ideas, case histories, and strategies are food for thought for those who are looking to creatively position themselves and their companies against the competition, and willing to challenge old assumptions.

The People Factor
Successful businesses have spent the past two decades retooling and rethinking how to manage their people better. Most big companies that have survived and prospered in the 21st century view employees as a vital strategic asset. In comparison, the U.S. federal government is a Stone Age relic, with its top-down bureaucracy, stovepiping of labor and responsibilities, and lack of training and investment in its own public servants. The inevitable result is a government not keeping up with the complex demands placed on it. In T he People Factor, Linda Bilmes and Scott Gould present a blueprint for reinvigorating the public sector in order to deliver results for America. Their premise is that the ...
The Truth About Middle Managers
Middle management" is a term associated with relentless downsizing, corporate drudgery, and career dead-ends. Bashed by management gurus, dismissed by social scientists, and painted as victims by the media, middle managers seem permanently relegated to the sidelines of corporate power. But is this popular picture accurate? Are middle managers really no longer valued by today's performance-driven organizations? The truth is surprising. MIT management scholar Paul Osterman has analyzed over thirty years' worth of employment data, interviewed a wide sample of managers, and uncovered a very different picture of middle managers today. Not only have their numbers increased dramatically, but middle...

The Globalization Gap
For most people except the world’s very richest, globalization is failing–catastrophically. If we don’t act, its failure will lead to a global upheaval worse than any in human history. But there’s another, better path. Isaak shows how a new globalization can give the poor a powerful stake, both here and abroad. Isaak's ideas can lead toward a more stable, peaceful world, in which we can all build our futures–rich and poor alike.
