Лидерство – это наука. Именно такой манифест объявил Уоррен Беннис – первопроходец этого учения. Самый опасный и распространненый миф – то, что лидерами рождаются, а не становятся. Беннис опровергает его, называя чушью. Почему? В книге «Внутренний компас лидера» автор аргументирует свою позицию.

Эта книга о современных российских бизнес-лидерах. В условиях неопределенности и турбулентности они трансформируют свои компании, делая их флагманами индустрии, и задают новые стандарты для всей отрасли.

В бизнесе перемены неизбежны. Компании, которым не удалось адаптироваться, ждет крах. Но, к сожалению, мало у кого из руководителей получается проводить преобразования в компании. Джон Коттер изучил опыт успешных и провальных преобразований в тысячах компаний и разработал универсальный алгоритм внедрения изменений. В книге вы найдете десятки примеров эффективности или неэффективности того или иного подхода. Здесь подробно разобраны восемь стадий реформирования компании, а также основные ошибки, которые допускают руководители.

Джим Коллинз, взирая взглядом ученого на безжизненные руины когда-то казавшихся несокрушимыми, а ныне канувших в Лету компаний, задается вопросом: как гибнут великие? Действительно ли крах происходит неожиданно или компания, не ведая того, готовит его своими руками? Можно ли обнаружить признаки упадка на ранней стадии и избежать его? Почему одни компании в трудных условиях остаются на плаву, а другие, сопоставимые с ними по всем показателям, идут ко дну? Насколько сильными должны быть кризисные явления, чтобы движение к гибели стало неотвратимым? Как совершить разворот и вернуться к росту?

The essential resource for navigating the growing direct loan market Private Debt: Opportunities in Corporate Direct Lending provides investors with a single, comprehensive resource for understanding this asset class amidst an environment of tremendous growth. Traditionally a niche asset class pre-crisis, corporate direct lending has become an increasingly important allocation for institutional investors—assets managed by Business Development Company structures, which represent 25% of the asset class, have experienced over 600% growth since 2008 to become a $91 billion market. Middle market direct lending has traditionally been relegated to commercial banks, but onerous Dodd-Frank regulation has opened the opportunity for private asset managers to replace banks as corporate lenders; as direct loans have thus far escaped the low rates that decimate yield, this asset class has become an increasingly attractive option for institutional and retail investors. This book dissects direct loans as a class, providing the critical background information needed in order to work effectively with these assets. Understand direct lending as an asset class, and the different types of loans available Examine the opportunities, potential risks, and historical yield Delve into various loan investment vehicles, including the Business Development Company structure Learn how to structure a direct loan portfolio, and where it fits within your total portfolio The rapid rise of direct lending left a knowledge gap surrounding these nontraditional assets, leaving many investors ill-equipped to take full advantage of ever-increasing growth. This book provides a uniquely comprehensive guide to corporate direct lending, acting as both crash course and desk reference to facilitate smart investment decision making.

Foreword by Janet Yellen Weijian Shan's Out of the Gobi is a powerful memoir and commentary that will be one of the most important books on China of our time, one with the potential to re-shape how Americans view China, and how the Chinese view life in America. Shan, a former hard laborer who is now one of Asia's best-known financiers, is thoughtful, observant, eloquent, and brutally honest, making him well-positioned to tell the story of a life that is a microcosm of modern China, and of how, improbably, that life became intertwined with America. Out of the Gobi draws a vivid picture of the raw human energy and the will to succeed against all odds. Shan only finished elementary school when Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution tore his country apart. He was a witness to the brutality and absurdity of Mao’s policies during one of the most tumultuous eras in China’s history. Exiled to the Gobi Desert at age 15 and denied schooling for 10 years, he endured untold hardships without ever giving up his dream for an education. Shan’s improbable journey, from the Gobi to the “People’s Republic of Berkeley” and far beyond, is a uniquely American success story – told with a splash of humor, deep insight and rich and engaging detail. This powerful and personal perspective on China and America will inform Americans' view of China, humanizing the country, while providing a rare view of America from the prism of a keen foreign observer who lived the American dream. Says former Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen: “Shan’s life provides a demonstration of what is possible when China and the United States come together, even by happenstance. It is not only Shan’s personal history that makes this book so interesting but also how the stories of China and America merge in just one moment in time to create an inspired individual so unique and driven, and so representative of the true sprits of both countries.”
