The old saying, "Plan the work, then work the plan" simply doesn't cut it for modern businesses. Why? Because every industry is driven by disruptions, competition is no longer evident and predictability is no longer linear. We need a different framework to consider strategy. Strategic planning has traditionally been a matter of casting a vision 3-5 years out and then working backwards to create action steps. In Strategy 3.0, business owner and executive coach Stephen Graves explores a new kind of strategy - one that is agile and adaptive yet fast and focused. In addition to outlining the differences between 2.0 and 3.0, Graves offers fifteen remarkable insights to fuel any strategy.

Case for Character:

Cornerstone Alliance

Generosity is big business in the 21st century. Walk down any retail aisle and see product labels boast of the social good your purchase will accomplish. Skim the list of university keynote speakers and see as many social entrepreneurs as politicians. Listen to non-profits talk and hear about financial sustainability. And just count the number of new companies whose central offering is attached to the concept of generosity. Everyone is looking for a multiple bottom line. In The Business of Generosity, business owner and executive coach Stephen Graves brings clarity to this fast-growing field. He outlines different models of generosity in the market (How is Toms Shoes different from UPromise?) and asks tough questions (Are we simply sanctifying our consumerism? What good does giving money actually do?). In the end, Graves paints a picture of what is right and what is possible in the world of generosity while reminding readers of the dangers of generosity pursued selfishly.

The Business of Generosity: How Companies, Nonprofits, and Churches are Working Together to Deliver Remarkable Good

Most of us are surviving life. We get by. We may be tired, bored, and frustrated, but we're making it. We get up each morning, put one foot in front of the other, and push ourselves through another day, another week, another year. Somewhere, though, in the back of our minds, in the depths of our hearts, we know this can't be all that life has to offer. We were created for more. But what? In his latest book, Flourishing, author and executive coach Stephen Graves answers that question with an offer of hope. Not hope for wealth, or fame, or ease, but hope for the abundant, flourishing life God created you to enjoy-a thriving life, filled with meaning, satisfaction, and shalom.

Flourishing: Why Some People Thrive While Others Just Survive

Some leaders run into a glass ceiling on their potential because they either ignore or accept their blind spots. Other leaders run themselves ragged, trying to be all things to all people. But the world today is too complicated for executive specialists, and real life makes it impossible to be omni-competent. So what's the solution? In The Hero Leader, author and executive coach Stephen Graves paints a revealing portrait of what today's leaders must become. The Hero Leader works to develop competence where he is weak and discover competence where it comes naturally. Graves expounds 7 collective qualities that the Hero Leader constantly strives to keep in balance because the goal is not natural leadership, but effective leadership.
