Newman, Ben

"You think you know about business and leadership. Lord knows you've had plenty of lessons about how not to lead and not as many examples about how to lead well. I'm here to tell you that you don't know what you need to know yet."\nThriving organizations elevate humanity. Yet many leaders struggle to create the conditions that allow all stakeholders to thrive. Doing so takes courage, patience, and dedication. It requires challenging the status quo and balancing many conflicting needs. Leaders who choose this path will create meaningful change in the world, starting in their own organization, and even in their own home. Leaders are made, not born. They inspire hope and make things better. 
Practically Positive is the story of one leader's journey. Over a period of twenty-five years, he learned that being a successful leader is not about putting yourself on a pedestal, but about taking on the responsibility of caring for your people and constantly improving your skills as the enabler of transparency, respect, and trust. 
Practically Positive is a three-step, no-nonsense guide for leaders to create and maintain thriving organizations rooted in accepting imperfections, forging mutually beneficial connections, creating clear visions for the future, and cultivating the "why," whether it be at home or anyplace else.

Who's Your Mike?: A No-Bullshit Guide to the People You'll Meet on Your Entrepreneurial Journey

THE BUSINESS BOOK FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE BUSINESS BOOKS.\nGrowing a business is tough. Entrepreneurs usually start off by cobbling together a team of self-starters willing to bust their asses for the company . . . usually from within their personal network of college buddies, friends of friends, and relatives. Those scrappy teams fit perfectly in your startup culture-they're tough, hungry, and willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. But what happens when you reach $20 million in revenue, or 40 or 50 million-and those same dedicated employees are holding you back? How do you walk that delicate line between gratitude and necessity? Let's face it, sometimes your needs exceed their abilities. People decisions are hard, especially if they're close to us. As a result, many entrepreneurs end up tiptoeing around these issues-and we end up learning many lessons the hard way. Who's Your Mike? offers a witty, nuanced approach to the people problems common to every entrepreneur as you grow your business. Whether you suffer from a Mike, don't know what to do with a Bounce-Around Betty, or need to rid yourself of a Pipeline Paul, Kurt Wilkin wants to help you diagnose issues before they arise and make those challenging people decisions that are holding you back.
