Silicon Valley is recognized globally as a hotbed of innovation, leadership, and entrepreneurship. It's the birthplace of world-famous companies like Apple, Google, and Facebook and home to a few legends such as NASA at the Ames Research Center. Our 16 authors have created a book 16 high-impact chapters that can give you and your business the Silicon Valley advantage and success.
Why is Silicon Valley such an entrepreneurial place? A major contributor to the phenomenon is our diversity--half of us don't speak English at home. But our diversity goes far beyond ethnicity. A wide variety of perspectives, leadership & thinking styles, management, and work approaches also contribute to the success & growth mindset of Silicon Valley, creating breakthroughs that have disrupted international business models (Airbnb and Uber) and even shifted our perception of the future of meat (the "Impossible Burger"). This book is a practical guide for those who want to invest in their personal growth & learn how to better manage their business.
We're also one of the most educated regions in the United States--nearly half of us graduated from college, and about a fifth have earned graduate degrees. Businesses here are filled with smart, well-educated, successful men & women. But like all organizations made up of people, we are subject to the same pitfalls that threaten businesses everywhere in the world.
Many businesses that were successful 100 years ago no longer exist. Trapped by their own success, they gradually learned to reduce risk and avoid failure at all costs and consequently squelched or killed their personal development, innovation, and creativity. This made them vulnerable to new situations, competition from new or more aggressive businesses with less to lose & difficult conversations. Are your greatest contributions and successes behind you or ahead of you? Even brilliant people can underperform at work--or fail--for entirely predictable (and avoidable!) reasons. This book showcases the crucial conversations that effective people and effective leadership have in order to achieve growth success.
Similar hazards face successful executives, professionals, and leaders of every kind. One danger of success is the increased difficulty of recognizing and adjusting to shifts in the business work environment. No one knows this better than the former leaders of Nokia and Kodak, two once-great international businesses that ignored crucial conversations & the timeless wisdom that a peak always conceals a treacherous valley.
It can be hard to see new possibilities that will allow future success, especially when it requires letting go of previously effective strategies that served you well & having difficult conversations. This is where the outside perspective of a consultant can be particularly useful. Our 16 authors offer you a competitive advantage in the business world and an alternative to that treacherous valley.
Dive into the Silicon Valley growth mindset by reading one of our chapters in our book. As a result, you'll understand why in this amazing center of innovation, failures are called "prototypes," the "impossible" is merely difficult, and dreams become reality. The perfect gift for men and women leaders in management and non-management positions hungry for personal development and personal growth.

Description de la boutique
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
