Visionary business leader Alfred P. Sloan (1875-1965) revolutionized the world of the American corporation like no one else ever had done before him–or would ever do again. From his groundbreaking approaches for leadership by consensus, encouraging dissent, employing facts and data, and managing consumers, Sloan not only created the General Motors powerhouse during his thirty-year tenure–his brilliance as CEO there is legendary–but he also influenced the strategic vision, leadership style, and operational discipline of today’s most successful companies.
As a renowned divorce lawyer and television talking head, Felder summarizes years in the marital dissolution trenches with personal anecdotes that illustrate his recommended approach to negotiations. He covers the practicalities and subtleties of negotiation: understanding verbal and nonverbal communication while knowing how much to ask for, when to walk out of negotiations, how to deal with opponents, and how to establish credibility. Felder also drops names, tells tales, and uses his encounters on behalf of famous people as real-life examples of his technique. Essentially a lively and entertaining “how-to,” this is a worthy consideration for large public libraries. (Library Journal, February 1, 2004)
How to Save Your Company Big $$$ in Small Ways examines the little things companies can do to reduce waste, increase efficiency, and achieve greater profit. One of the greatest little sources of savings is an effective employee suggestion program. When two couriers at FedEx were encouraged to speak up, their suggestion on improving sorting saved the company $32,000. And when a New Jersey utility company implemented the suggestions of two of its employees and began using inexpensive decals instead of paint for the logo on their trucks, they saved $300,000 in materials and labor. Other companies are doing small things to generate huge savings in technology, waste reduction, advertising, insurance, energy costs, and more. Simple tips like shredding waste paper to use as packaging material save material and labor. Employing fundamental electronic technology saved Hewlett-Packard $300,000 in mailing costs when the company put its annual report online. Throughout this book, you’ll find the author’s own “suggestion boxes” filled with resources, contacts, and the many ways real companies are saving real money.
