The Three-Box Solution
Author: Vijay Govindarajan
Publisher: Harvard Business Review Press
ISBN: 1633690156
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
How to Innovate and Execute Leaders already know that innovation calls for a different set of activities, skills, methods, metrics, mind-sets, and leadership approaches. And it is well understood that creating a new business and optimizing an already existing one are two fundamentally different management challenges. The real problem for leaders is doing both, simultaneously. How do you meet the performance requirements of the existing business—one that is still thriving—while dramatically reinventing it? How do you envision a change in your current business model before a crisis forces you to abandon it? Innovation guru Vijay Govindarajan expands the leader’s innovation tool kit with a simple and proven method for allocating the organization’s energy, time, and resources—in balanced measure—across what he calls “the three boxes”: • Box 1: The present—Manage the core business at peak profitability • Box 2: The past—Abandon ideas, practices, and attitudes that could inhibit innovation • Box 3: The future—Convert breakthrough ideas into new products and businesses The three-box framework makes leading innovation easier because it gives leaders a simple vocabulary and set of tools for managing and measuring these different sets of behaviors and activities across all levels of the organization. Supported with rich company examples—GE, Mahindra & Mahindra, Hasbro, IBM, United Rentals, and Tata Consultancy Services—and testimonies of leaders who have successfully used this framework, this book solves once and for all the practical dilemma of how to align an organization on the critical but competing demands of innovation.

The Hiding Girl: Emily Calby Book 1
Author: Dorian Box
Publisher: Emily Calby
ISBN: 9781734639902
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
"One of the year's best thrillers." - BestThrillers.com "Dark and gritty ... without peer in contemporary mysteries/thrillers." - Publishers Weekly BookLife Prize Semifinalist Twelve-year-old Emily Calby was a good girl from a religious family in rural Georgia. She loved softball, her little sister and looking up words to get her allowance. Then two men came and murdered her family. Somehow Emily escaped. Only the killers know she survived. On the run in a fugue, she makes an unlikely ally in a ruthless ex-gang member who takes her in. Overwhelmed by guilt for failing her family, she persuades him to train her to kill before setting out alone on a terrifying journey for justice. Nothing will stop her-not cops or creeps, not even her own splintering mind. Through it all, Emily fights to hold onto hope and the girl she once knew, kept buried deep inside. A testament to the boundless limits of love, sacrifice and the will to survive, The Hiding Girl is the first book in the Emily Calby Series. "Deeply atmospheric ... an exceptional, heart-pounding story full of raw emotion, deep-seated fear, and an undercurrent of hope and innocence." - Publishers Weekly BookLife Prize "In Emily, Author Dorian Box has created a rarity-a teenage protagonist that is at once sympathetic, vulnerable and largely fearless. ... This sharp characterization within a fast-paced work of suspense makes The Hiding Girl one of the year's most exciting series openers." - BestThrillers.com (named a 2020 Best Thriller of the Year) "The story that author Dorian Box has created for Emily Calby is nothing short of thrilling, but it's THE HIDING GIRL's masterful interplay of character, setting, and theme, along with its fast-pace and high emotional stakes that makes it a real page-turner." - IndieReader (starred review, Official Seal of Approval) "[S]tunning, captivating, heartbreaking, but also heartwarming. ... [T]he characters were so alive, believable, with heart and warmth, humor and love. ... This book is certainly on my 'best ever books' list." - NetGalley "[A] unique mix of hope, shattered innocence, pain, fear, and vulnerability ... a great, suspenseful read." - Reader's Favorite "This is a fantastic book that completely demolished my expectations. ... This novel is fast-paced and action-packed but it has a profound human element that sets it apart from other novels in its genre." - BookishFirst

Book Description
Teach social skills and enrich classrooms to reduce problem behaviors and nurture growth.

Much like gardeners who adjust soil, water, or fertilizer to help flowers bloom, educators of young children must look beyond challenging behaviors to what a child’s actions are communicating about her learning environment or home life.

Pages : 226
Book Description
Wear just 33 items for 3 months and get back all the JOY you were missing while you were worrying what to wear. In Project 333, minimalist expert and author of Soulful Simplicity Courtney Carver takes a new approach to living simply--starting with your wardrobe. Project 333 promises that not only can you survive with just 33 items in your closet for 3 months, but you'll thrive just like the thousands of woman who have taken on the challenge and never looked back. Let the de-cluttering begin! Ever ask yourself how many of the items in your closet you actually wear? In search of a way to pare down on her expensive shopping habit, consistent lack of satisfaction with her purchases, and ever-growing closet, Carver created Project 333. In this book, she guides readers through their closets item-by-item, sifting through all the emotional baggage associated with those oh-so strappy high-heel sandals that cost a fortune but destroy your feet every time you walk more than a few steps to that extensive collection of never-worn little black dresses, to locate the items that actually look and feel like you. As Carver reveals in this book, once we finally release ourselves from the cyclical nature of consumerism and focus less on our shoes and more on our self-care, we not only look great we feel great-- and we can see a clear path to make other important changes in our lives that reach far beyond our closets. With tips, solutions, and a closet-full of inspiration, this life-changing minimalist manual shows readers that we are so much more than what we wear, and that who we are and what we have is so much more than enough.
