| The Age Curve: How to Profit from the Demographic Storm by Kenneth W. Gronbach
| |||||||||||||
 The changes we see in marketing and business are based on one undeniable factor--the size of the generations we are selling to. As each generation ages, what they buy and how much they buy will change. As these customers grow up, the smartest marketers will stay ahead of them--and their money. In The Age Curve, marketing guru Kenneth Gronbach shows executives and entrepreneurs how to anticipate this wave of predictable demand and ride it to success. Using impeccable research, Gronbach reveals how our largest generations, the Baby Boomers and Generation Y, are redefining how we market and how businesses can anticipate their needs more effectively. | |||||||||||||

| Judgment: How Winning Leaders Make Great Calls by Noel M. Tichy, Warren G. Bennis
| |||||||||||||
 Tichy and Bennis examine the critical role judgment plays in effective leadership. Calling judgment the essence of leadership, they identify three judgment domains that can undermine any leader's success — people, strategy and crisis — and explore such challenges as selecting the top team, CEO succession, and crisis as a leadership development opportunity. The good news: even if one isn't born with good judgment, it can be learned. | |||||||||||||

| The Breakthrough Company: How Everyday Companies Become Extraordinary Performers by Keith R. Mcfarland
| |||||||||||||
 The vast majority of small businesses stay small — and not by choice. Only the most savvy and persistent — a tiny one tenth of one percent — break through to annual sales above $250 million. In The Breakthrough Company, Keith McFarland pinpoints how everyday companies become extraordinary, showing that luck is a negligible factor. Rather, breakthrough success turns out to be associated with a clearly identifiable set of strategies and skills that anyone in any business can emulate — from small startup to industry leader. | |||||||||||||

| Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations by Clay Shirky
| |||||||||||||
 Blogs, wikis and other Web 2.0 accoutrements are revolutionizing the social order, a development that's cause for more excitement than alarm, argues Shirky. Readers will appreciate the Gladwellesque lucidity of his assessments on what makes or breaks group efforts online: Every story in this book relies on the successful fusion of a plausible promise, an effective tool, and an acceptable bargain with the users. The sum of Shirky's incisive exploration, like the Web itself, is greater than its parts. | |||||||||||||
