When Corporations Rule the World

Author(s): David C. Korten

ABOUT THE BOOK In this new edition of his classic book, David Korten illuminates the convergence of ideological, political, and technological forces that have driven an ever-greater concentration of economic and political power in a handful of corporations and financial institutions and left the market system blind to all but its own short-term financial gains. As he vividly documents, the social and environmental consequences of these efforts have been devastating. Human survival depends on a global community-based, life-centered alternative beyond the outmoded ideologies of communism and capitalism. Korten lays out specific steps to achieve it. In the new introduction and conclusion, and the updated prologue and epilogue, Korten shares insights from his personal experience as a participant in the growing new economy movement; reviews the implications of relevant events since 1995—including the global democracy movement, 9/11, the war on terror, and the financial crash of 2008—explores why the institutions of what he calls a suicide economy resolutely resist even modest reform; and outlines high-leverage opportunities for breakthrough change. In a well-reasoned, extensively researched analysis, Korten exposes the harmful effects globalization is having on all areas of life--not just economics, but also politics, society, and the environment--and outlines a grassroots strategy for getting corporations out of politics and creating a world responsive to human needs and the natural environment. MARKET / AUDIENCE Anti-corporate activists, Korten readers, concerned citizens, and professors and students in sociology, political science, and economics courses. ABOUT THE AUTHOR(S) David C. Korten is a cofounder and board chair of YES! Magazine, a cochair of the New Economy Working Group, the founder and president of the Living Economies Forum, a member of the Club of Rome, a founding board member emeritus of the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies, a former associate of the International Forum on Globalization, and a former Harvard Business School professor.

Intelligent Disobedience: Doing Right When What You're Told to Do Is Wrong

Author(s): Ira Chaleff, Philip Zimbardo (Foreword by)

ABOUT THE BOOK Torture in Abu Ghraib prison. Corporate fraud. Falsified records at Veterans Administration hospitals. Teachers pressured to feed test answers to students. These scandals could have been prevented if, early on, people had said no to their higher-ups. In this timely new book, Ira Chaleff goes deeply into when and how to disobey inappropriate orders, reduce unacceptable risk, and find better ways to achieve legitimate goals. The inspiration for the book, and its title, came from a concept used in guide dog training. Guide dogs must be able to recognize a command that would put their human and themselves at risk, effectively resist the command, and identify safer options for achieving the goal. This is precisely what Chaleff shows humans how to do. He delves into the psychological dynamics of obedience, drawing in particular on what Stanley Milgram's seminal Yale experiments—in which volunteers were induced to administer shocks to innocent people—teach us about how to reduce compliance with harmful orders. Using dozens of vivid examples of historical events and everyday situations, Chaleff offers advice on judging whether intelligent disobedience is called for, how to effectively express opposition, and how to create a culture where, rather than “just following orders,” citizens are educated and encouraged to think about whether those orders make sense. MARKET / AUDIENCE Readers of The Courageous Follower, anyone working in or interacting with a hierarchy: government, corporations, non-profits, hospitals, schools, professors and students in ethics and business classes, and educators. ABOUT THE AUTHOR(S) Ira Chaleff is the founder and president of Executive Coaching & Consulting Associates and chairman emeritus of the Congressional Management Foundation in Washington, DC. He is the founder of the Followership Learning Community of the International Leadership Association and has been named one of the 100 “Best Minds on Leadership” by Leadership Excellence magazine.

ABOUT THE BOOK Is there a way to recognize good managers from bad, a method to know when to buy them and when to sell them, a strategy to capture some gains and avoid some losses? Stephen McKee has a two-promged approach to selecting and timing. One, identify and invest with the fund leaders over time. We know that this will change and we can take advantage of it. It does not surprise us. Two, recognize and act on the fact that the market has value that also will change from extremely cheap to extremely dear.

McKee will show that the strategy that the best funds use for making money in secular bull markets and the best funds for preserving money in secular bear markets aren’t the same. The author's Comet system can recognize this and use both.

The "Comet system" which was developed, tested, and perfected in a way to sort through all of the fund choices by boiling it all down to a single number, a Comet. This is a fund's risk-adjusted, relative performance number. The higher the better; it means the fund has achieved more return per unit of risk taken -- making the most money with the least amount of risk.

In the first place, we know that the economy will change. We know that the times change. Our approach is simple. Take your investment dollars to the fund leaders today, to those in tune with current and future conditions. We will show you how to do this. In the second place, we know the markets have a thing called value. We know the market, be it stocks, bonds, real estate, or commodities, goes up and down. We will show you how to recognize where we are and how to measure market value.

MARKET / AUDIENCE Retail investors (i.e. individual investors who manage their own portfolios through their brokerage accounts) as well as individual financial planners who have their own small practices (eg CPAs, CFPs).

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Stephen McKee is president of Investment Selections & Timing, Inc., and he publishes No-Load Mutual Fund Selections & Timing newsletter; he has been interviewed as an expert on the subject by Forbes, Barron’s, The Hulbert Financial Digest, and Timer Digest

What You Aren't Seeing How Using Your Hidden Potential Can Help You Discover the Leader Within, The Inspiring Story of Herb Greenberg Author(s):

ABOUT THE BOOK With a lifetime of experience working with more than 28,000 countries across the globe to identify and manage talent, Herb Greenberg – who also happens to be blind - has been able to see something that many leaders overlook: their own potential, and the potential of those around them. Herb uses his personal story to share valuable insights for leaders, and those looking to become leaders, about seeing infinite possibilities - in themselves and in their organizations. This book will unveil a unique three-step action approach to seeing and tapping into their one’s leadership potential – and that of their entire organization by …

• Seeing Inside Yourself • Seeing New Possibilities • Seeing Far and Wide

In the first step, "Seeing Inside Yourself," leaders will be able to take advantage of a unique gift to help discover their defining qualities. They will be able to take Caliper's free, in-depth personality profile (a $300 value), and receive a developmental guide pinpointing the qualities that distinguish them, along with suggestions for developing their own potential. We all have different strengths, and this in-depth assessment (used by Caliper's global clients around the world) will help readers pinpoint their own defining qualities. In the second step, "Seeing New Possibilities," leaders will learn how they can make those defining qualities their own. Readers will be shown how to connect their true potential with possibilities that they may have never considered before, then discover that potential in those around them. In the final section, "Seeing Far and Wide," readers will learn how to make connections between their strengths as a leader, the potential of their team, and a world of new possibilities. The stories and lessons in this section have been collected over half a century at Caliper as they worked with leaders to identify and develop their own strengths and the potential of those around them. Tying together the inspiration from Herb's personal journey with solid, actionable insights, leaders will come away with a new way to see themselves, those they surround themselves with, and their organization’s future – all for the better.

Play the Part Master Body Signals to Connect and Communicate for Business Success Author(s): Gina Barnett

ABOUT THE BOOK A top communications coach to C-suite executives and TED speakers bridges the worlds of business and theater to teach business professionals how to engage and command an audience. From the first moments an actor steps on stage, an audience collectively feels whether his performance is authentic, forced, or over the top. What few realize is that professionals of all stripes are also performers--and the workplace is their stage. Their audience consists of colleagues, partners, seniors, clients, and increasingly, due to the web, global spectators. Everyone's body tells a story. A great communicator makes sure his or her body tells the story he or she wishes. The crucial difference between actors and business professionals is that the former spend years mastering the techniques necessary to craft credible performances, while the latter spend a few hours at best in a public speaking course. In Play the Part, Gina Barnett brings the same techniques actors use to bear on all types of presentations and communication situations from the meeting room to the TED stage. Drawing on years of successfully merging practices from the business world and the world of theater, she has created unique methodologies to bring creative solutions design, innovation, and spontaneity to communication in the workplace. The first part of Play the Part will focus on the body and how different parts of the body affect our own communication and thought patterns, as well as how we are perceived—and what we can do to align these for maximum success. Part two will focus on presence and the ability to be fully present in the moment, which enables us to respond intuitively to those we are interacting with, whether it is an audience of one or of hundreds. Part three will teach readers how to respond to unexpected, unpredictable, even unpleasant communication situations and navigate them successfully. MARKET / AUDIENCE Business professionals; general audience ABOUT THE AUTHOR(S) Gina Barnett is the founder of Barnett International, Inc., an executive communications consulting firm. Her techniques are drawn from 25 years of experience teaching professional and aspiring actors at schools that include New York University Tisch School of the Arts.
