Build a business you love : mastering the 5 stages of business
by Dave Ramsey
"Business leaders face all kinds of challenges and fears as they work to grow their business. Dave Ramsey gets it--because he's been there. Over the past 30 years, he and his team have taken some right (and plenty of wrong) turns as they worked to build his one-man financial counseling business into Ramsey Solutions, a $250 million company with over 1,000 team members. Now, Dave is sharing what he's learned from walking through three decades of business growth--so you can grow your business faster with fewer missteps. In Build a Business You Love, Dave lays out the EntreLeadership System, the road map that takes the guesswork out of growth for business owners like you. Because after more than a decade of helping leaders grow their businesses--and throughdirect experience with his own company--Dave has found that there are five distinct stages of growth every business has to conquer to reach its potential: Stage 1: Treadmill Operator; Stage 2: Pathfinder; Stage 3: Trailblazer; Stage 4: Peak Performer; Stage 5: Legacy Builder. Throughout the book, Dave breaks down each of the stages and their unique challenges in detail to help you solve the right problems, at the right time, in the right way. You'll learn how to navigate everything business ownership throws at you--from hiring the right people, to finding and training leaders, to creating and operating a budget, to nailing down strategic plans that get results, and more. Build a Business You Love is the essential guide for business owners who want to grow their business the right way and leave a legacy they're proud of"

The ten toughest leadership problems : and how to solve them
by Katie Best
"When leaders receive executive coaching, the results can be powerful. However, coaching isn't always available in the moment, either because the need is urgent or because the resources aren't there. That's when leaders can turn to Dr. Katie Best. In this book, Best works through ten of the trickiest and most common leadership challenges: avoiding burnout, making good decisions, increasing influence, working through cultural issues, improving employee performance, engaging staff, managing teams, implementing strategy, leading change, and handling the new hybrid workplace reality. Drawing on insights from leading research and the real-world experiences of her clients, Best's SOLVE framework helps leaders find a solution that fits their unique needs and gives them the tools to tackle any other problems they might encounter going forward. Practical and engaging, The Ten Toughest Leadership Problems and How to Solve Them is an essential self-coaching handbook for leaders at any level"-- Provided by publisher

The equity edge : how addressing bias in recruiting and retention drives success
by Jenn Tardy
"More than ever, recruiting agencies, HR departments, and business leaders have felt the need to diversify the workplace. But hiring managers and recruiters remain largely in the dark about the specific stages of the hiring process where candidates feel unsupported and loss of talent occurs. The Equity Edge addresses the hurdles that face diverse groups of job seekers and employees. At each stage--finding, attracting, engaging, selecting, and developing talent--managers need to challenge their idea of who is qualified for a job. Readers will learn about: the concept of "life events biases" we can have, from pedigree bias to competitor bias and professionalism bias; the importance of having an employment brand that is separate from your corporate brand; how to take into account a person's Lived Experience Quotient (LEQ), the diverse knowledge, skills, and abilities that they've gained throughout their lifetime; how to move from attempting to be bias free (impossible) to a more pragmatic bias-aware model. This book helps experts, leaders, and recruiters make better decisions on who to hire and how to keep great talent"

Hidden Talent : How to Employ Refugees, the Formerly Incarcerated & People With Disabilities
by David Delong
Are you tired of looking for productive, loyal employees in an era of chronic talent shortages? Do you want to know how innovative businesses successfully recruit and retain refugees with limited English, the formerly incarcerated, and people with disabilities? Hidden Talent shows how ten companies, from a global tech firm and a major hospital to a small painting company, effectively invest in this marginalized and routinely overlooked talent-and the practical lessons they have learned on that journey. Hidden Talent is packed with useful lessons from businesses that are already profiting from these over looked sources of great employees. If it was easy, every organization would be accessing these labor pools. But it's not. This book shows how innovative leaders tackle the challenges of hiring employees they would have ignored in the past. Learn how investing in marginalized workers can change your company's performance, culture and, perhaps, your life.
