Every general manager today—all the way up to the CEO—is ex­ pected by his or her stakeholders to achieve new breakthroughs in per­ formance—and fast. Those who don't make visible progress toward that goal within the first year or two will likely find themselves looking for an­ other job. It is precisely because of this growing breakthrough imperative that managers today, whether in corporations or nonprofits, need to get off to a fast start. They don't have time for mistakes or for going back and re­ doing what they should have done right in the first place. But, despite the intensity of these pressures, despite the high expectations and short time frames, a number of CEOs and general managers turn in truly exceptional results. How do they meet and exceed the breakthrough imperative? To answer this question, consultants and former managers Mark Gottfredson and Steve Schaubert interviewed more than forty CEOs from both industry and the nonprofit sector, conducted an intensive study of what successful managers do right—and what some do wrong—and drew on their own combined fifty­plus years of experience at Bain & Company, where their insights have consistently been found in the pages of the Harvard Busi­ ness Review. Together they came up with the four straightforward princi­ ples—deceptively simple yet remarkably powerful—that everyone must follow to succeed at achieving breakthrough results:

1. Costs and prices always decline 2. Competitive position determines options 3. Customers and profit pools don't stand still 4. Simplicity gets results The Breakthrough Imperative presents these core laws of business

to help you determine where you are, just how far you can go, and how to get there with stellar results.

"If you can't say anything nice, say it." This philosophy nicely

summarizes Stevens's approach to executive coaching, not to mention life

in general. While the author's blunt truthfulness is welcome in a world of

management euphemisms, his self­described "in your face" style may not

make him a man for all seasons. Here, Stevens presents a 7­day "battle

plan" that "challenges assumptions about success and provides a road

map for taking your business to the next level." To get to the "next level,"

readers are advised to question conventional wisdom, look in the mirror for

a leader, develop a personal "killer app," apply "the universal equation for

perpetual growth" and make "the journey within." When Stevens departs

from his silver bullet slogans and presents a real business story, he can be

captivating; his anecdote about shaking up the circulation department

while in temporary control of Success magazine is a star turn, as is his

account of Lou Gerstner's unexpected rattling of the entrenched

bureaucracy at IBM. Beyond his Pattonesque marketing shtick,

Mr. Stevens' suggestion that managers "get real" and confront business

problems head­on is the practical heart of this book.

This earnest guide to career transition periods­when a new job or promotion puts an employee in an unfamiliar role­asserts, reassuringly, that navigating the all­important first 90 days is a "teachable skill." Business professor Watkins, co­author of Right From the Start: Taking Charge in a New Leadership Role, lays out a "standard framework" for leadership transitions, based on "five fundamental propositions," "ten key challenges," and a four­fold typology of situations that new managers find themselves in. Fortunately, Watkins balances the theorizing with practical steps managers can take to get on top of things and initiate changes, including elaborate self­assessment checklists, planning exercises and meticulous guidelines on how to have conversations with underlings and bosses. His advice, if not very original, is sound. He warns managers not to assume that their existing skills will suffice for new roles, advises them to pursue small­scale "early wins" to boost credibility, and admonishes workplace Machiavellis to "avoid pressing for closure until you are confident the balance of forces acting on key people is tipping your way." Watkins's penchant for cut­and­dried schematizations sometimes goes overboard, especially in the book's plethora of elementary graphs, tables, diagrams and matrices (novice orators are informed that "classic values invoked to convince others to embrace potentially painful change are summarized in table 8­1," while the oceanic topic of "Intersecting Cultural Dimensions" gets boiled down to a three­ring Venn diagram). But if the content of Watkins's counsel is not always obviously helpful, his systematized approach to thinking will at least help panicky executives keep their wits about them.

M entoring differs from instruction, teaching, and coaching in that it emphasizes not talents and skills used in

executing a project, but the qualities and values of life needed to sustain

oneself in the creative endeavor. In Leader Mentoring, author Michael

Shenkman makes the case for leader mentoring. ''No mentors, no

leaders,'' he says. Yet, this great, ancient, and necessary catalyst for

learning has been neglected by our training and development industry. For

any executive who wants to succeed, coaching has proven its worth. But

mentoring touches something else: how managers can shape their lives

so that they can step into larger challenges and risks to accomplish

something greater than they ever have before. This book looks at the true

significance of mentoring, as well as the tradition and spirit that motivates

it. In addition, Shenkman's colleagues and clients share their own

life­changing mentoring experiences. Today, at a time when great leaders

need to be found and set to work, Leader Mentoring shows the way.

Mengapa anda mesti membaca buku ini?

• Menyumbang ke arah penyelesaian dilema Melayu­Islam yang seolah­olah terpaksa memilih sama ada memperjuangkan agama atau bangsa sedangkan Islam dan Melayu mampu dimertabatkan secara bersepadu.

• Memberi pandangan “di luar kotak” untuk membangunkan ummah dengan mensejajarkan pelaksanaan Fardu Ain dan Fardu Kifayah, peranan hamba dan khalifah, kesepaduan ilmu Naqli dan Aqli, berlandaskan kesucian zikir (kebersihan hati) dan kekuatan fikir (ketinggian teknologi).

• Menjelaskan pelaksanaan “berpolitik sebagai satu ibadah” untuk memberi kekuatan baru kepada pemimpin Melayu ke arah pembentukan generasi yang lebih berintegriti dan kompetensi sebagai peneraju kepimpinan masa kini.

• Menangkis obsesi diri dan kumpulan menerusi pendekatan perjuangan yang lebih dinamik, pragmatik, praktikal dan toleran berasaskan ketulusan memanfaatkan persamaan dan ketelusan menguruskan perbezaan

• Mengajak bangsa Melayu­Islam berfikir...jika benar sekalipun pintu untuk mewujudkan satu “perkongsian pintar” sudah tertutup, apakah pintu untuk mewujudkan satu bentuk “persaingan sihat” juga turut tertutup?

The biography of America's hottest political superstar, Barack Obama—a man poised on the threshold of greatness.

B arack Obama's meteoric rise from Hawaii high schooler to exemplary Harvard Law School student to well­ groomed politico to history­making presidential candidate is the stuff of legend. Since his headline­grabbing speech at the Democratic Na­ tional Convention in 2004, Obama has come to represent the promise of unity among groups of all types of Americans—blacks and whites; Democrats, Republicans, and moderates; the young and the old; the upper, middle, and lower classes.

Veteran Chicago Tribune journalist David Mendell has covered Obama since the beginning of the candidate's campaign for the Senate. In Obama: From Promise to Power, the author offers a revealing, detailed portrait based on intensive research and exclusive interviews with Obama's closest aides, mentors, political adversaries, and family—most notably his charismatic wife, Michelle. It is an eye­opening look at the evo­ lution of a brilliant politician whose name has become a catchphrase for hope in a politically jaded society.

There is no leader without at least one follower ­ that's obvious. But this groundbreaking volume is the first to provide a sweeping view of followers both in their own right ­ and in relation to their leaders. It deliberately departs from the leader­centric approach that has for too long dominated our thinking about leadership and management. Barbara Kellerman argues that followers have always mattered more than we generally understand ­ and that they matter more now than they ever did before. Moreover the trend is accelerating. Followers are becoming more important, and leaders less. Through gripping stories about a range of people and places–from multinational corporations such as Merck, to Nazi Germany, to the American military after 9/11 Kellerman makes all­important distinctions among five different types of followers: Isolates, Bystanders, Participants, Activists, and Diehards. And she explains the significance not only of how they relate to their leaders, but also of how they relate to each other. Followership enables us to see how people with relatively fewer sources of power, authority, and influence matter. They matter when they do something ­ and they matter even when they do little or nothing. In these rapidly changing times, and as Kellerman makes crystal clear, to fixate on leaders at the expense of followers is to do so at our peril. The latter are every bit as important as the former ­ which makes this book required reading for superiors and subordinates alike.
