Crisis Leadership Now by Laurence Barton In Crisis Leadership Now, author Laurence Barton applies his corporate insider's insight to numerous case studies, demonstrating how catastrophes happen to real companies and real people every day. These studies form a framework for building crisis management thinking into your company's strategic toolbox. Anticipating all forms of trouble, advising senior management and boards of directors about potential events, and devising a business recovery plan will allow your organization to rebound should tragedy strike. Deciding Who Leads by Joseph Daniel McCool Noted as a "recruiting expert" by Fast Company, McCool takes his reader inside the world of executive recruiters: the most influential and elite group of management consultants operating in business today. The author reveals how senior management recruiters influence everything from executive compensation, workplace diversity, business management, profits, culture and the definition of leadership itself. Profit or Growth? by Bala Chakravarthy and Peter Lorange Chakravarthy and Lorange have teamed up to give readers proven strategies to protect and extend core businesses, capture new opportunities that seem to be distant, and then bridge those strategies with two others to move towards profitable diversification.
