Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead

Thirty years after women became 50 percent of the college graduates in the United States, men still hold the vast majority of leadership positions in government and industry. This means that women’s voices are still not heard equally in the decisions that most affect our lives. In Lean In, Sheryl Sandberg examines why women’s progress in achieving leadership roles has stalled, explains the root causes, and offers compelling, commonsense solutions that can empower women to achieve their full potential. 

Sandberg is the chief operating officer of Facebook and is ranked on Fortune’s list of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business and as one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People in the World. In 2010, she gave an electrifying TEDTalk in which she described how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their careers. Her talk, which became a phenomenon and has been viewed more than two million times, encouraged women to “sit at the table,” seek challenges, take risks, and pursue their goals with gusto.

In Lean In, Sandberg digs deeper into these issues, combining personal anecdotes, hard data, and compelling research to cut through the layers of ambiguity and bias surrounding the lives and choices of working women. She recounts her own decisions, mistakes, and daily struggles to make the right choices for herself, her career, and her family. She provides practical advice on negotiation techniques, mentorship, and building a satisfying career, urging women to set boundaries and to abandon the myth of “having it all.”  She describes specific steps women can take to combine professional achievement with personal fulfillment and demonstrates how men can benefit by supporting women in the workplace and at home. 

Written with both humor and wisdom, Sandberg’s book is an inspiring call to action and a blueprint for individual growth. Lean In is destined to change the conversation from what women can’t do to what they can.

The Advantage, Enhanced Edition: Why Organizational Health Trumps Everything Else In Business (J-B Lencioni Series)

There is a competitive advantage out there, arguably more powerful than any other. Is it superior strategy? Faster innovation? Smarter employees? No, New York Times best-selling author, Patrick Lencioni, argues that the seminal difference between successful companies and mediocre ones has little to do with what they know and how smart they are and more to do with how healthy they are. In this book, Lencioni brings together his vast experience and many of the themes cultivated in his other best-selling books and delivers a first: a cohesive and comprehensive exploration of the unique advantage organizational health provides.

Simply put, an organization is healthy when it is whole, consistent and complete, when its management, operations and culture are unified.  Healthy organizations outperform their counterparts, are free of politics and confusion and provide an environment where star performers never want to leave. Lencioni’s first non-fiction book provides leaders with a groundbreaking, approachable model for achieving organizational health—complete with stories, tips and anecdotes from his experiences consulting to some of the nation’s leading organizations. In this age of informational ubiquity and nano-second change, it is no longer enough to build a competitive advantage based on intelligence alone. The Advantage provides a foundational construct for conducting business in a new way—one that maximizes human potential and aligns the organization around a common set of principles.

This book is the best actionable narrative on How to Make Money. This book will change your life. FINANCIAL FREEDOM publications will offer you the best knowledge on: Personal Finance, Money Management, Investing Basics, Investment Management, Financial Planning, Stock Investing, Mutual Funds, Options Trading, Real Estate Investing, Retirement Planning, and much more. FINANCIAL FREEDOM publications are conservative books on all the topics of money investment. This book is the perfect guide on budgeting for beginners, saving money, and getting things done. Consider this: Knowledge, The Most Important Thing in Achieving Goals. This book will teach you like a champion. It is perfectly fine to aspire—even necessary—to be financially rich—even very rich! Indeed, once you are very rich, you can bless other people with your generosity—financial power, in this case. Many people would like to be financially rich. Everything has an operator’s manual though. In order to construct things, you need a plan—a good, reliable, plan. So, ready yourself to learn. Learning is the greatest asset-builder for you!
Learning requires discipline. Financial wealth building—and its navigation—requires discipline. The rewards are quite worth it, however! This book—as well as other Financial Freedom publications—is designed to show you where the available assets—yours—are, how to produce good returns on them, and how to enjoy different financial plans. The key must be to construct, implement, and enjoy these financial plans during both “good” and “bad” markets—when you do get into serious/informed active investing.
I have decided, after many years of research, to publish the Financial Freedom education in form of several short books. That way you can readily choose which book fitly matches your particular situation. However, I recommend you read them in their proper order. These books will be rather good! Back to the discipline thing, now: To be successful in your financial wealth building you must overcome the obstacles, which might appear in the way. Build a solid plan! Yes, you are. Yes, you can. Really.
Even if you are very new to the subject of personal finance—and I do mean NEW, keep the discipline—and keep on keeping on! That is what it takes. Some things might appear a bit different—in terminology, structure, and the particular tool. So what? You are learning, and thereafter the rewards will come! Remember this: the realm of Personal Finance and Investment is broad. You need a good understanding of this realm, in order to achieve Financial Freedom. These books will show you how to build wealth like a pro! I am using a conversational method to bring the information to you. The communication will be fine. Enjoy!
