Stacking the Deck. How to Lead Breakthrough Change Against Any Odds
Change is a constant, and leaders must do more than keep up—they must innovate and accelerate to succeed. Yet people are often unnerved by change. As a leader during a time of transformation, you may stand up before teams that are indifferent, or even hostile, and need to convince them that change is necessary and urgent. More than money, time, or resources, the ability to lead these people determines your ultimate success or failure. What does it take to be an effective change leader and increase the odds of success? Stacking the Deck offers a proven, practical approach for inspiring meaningful, lasting change across an organization. Stacking the Deck presents a nine-step course of action leaders can follow from the first realization that change is needed through all the steps of implementation, including assembling the right team of close advisors and getting the word out to the wider group. Based on Dave Pottruck's experiences leading change as CEO of Charles Schwab and later as chairman of CorpU and HighTower Advisors, these steps provide a guide to ensure that your change initiative and your team have the best possible shot at success. In addition, established business leaders who have led extraordinary change initiatives demonstrate the steps in action. These executives include eBay CEO John Donahoe, Wells Fargo former CEO Dick Kovacevich, Starbucks chief executive officer Howard Schultz, San Francisco Giants CEO Larry Baer, JetBlue CEO Dave Barger, Asurion CEO Steve Ellis, Pinkberry CEO Ron Graves, and Intel's President Renee James, among others. Leading an organization through major change—whether it's the introduction of a new product, an expansion to a new territory, or a difficult downsizing—is not for the faint of heart. While success is never guaranteed, the right leadership, process, and team make all the difference. For all leaders facing major change in their organizations, Stacking the Deck is an indispensable resource for putting the odds in your favor.
Анна Каренина
Роман «Анна Каренина» был написан Л. Н. Толстым в 1877 году, а год спустя впервые выпущен отдельным книжным изданием. С тех пор минуло 140 лет. «Анна Каренина» выдержала более 30 экранизаций, бесчисленное количество театральных постановок и переизданий.

Ведь темы, затронутые в романе, не теряют и, уверены, не потеряют своей актуальности никогда. Мы ,в свою очередь, рады представить вам аудиоверсию романа «Анна Каренина» в классическом, профессиональном прочтении народного артиста РФ, ведущего актера Малого театра – Александра Владимировича Клюквина.

Клетка «на диете». Научное открытие о влиянии жиров на мышление, физическую активность и обмен веществ
Митохондрии – маленькие батарейки нашего организма. Каждую секунду они вырабатывают в 10 000 раз больше энергии, чем Солнце. Благодаря им мы едим, дышим, гуляем, любим, играем, работаем… одним словом, живем. Когда митохондрии повреждаются, мы стареем и умираем. Когда митохондрии получают неправильное «топливо» (избыток белка и сахара), мы болеем. Эта книга расскажет, как работает наше тело на молекулярном уровне, и поможет понять, какое же питание способно спасти нас от самых страшных заболеваний, сохранить молодость и красоту, активизировать работу мозга и жить счастливо без особых ограничений.

Год огненного жениха
С новым гадом, девочки, с новым трупом. Вот почему так получается: только люди сели проводить с родным коллективом старый год, только сняли пробу с оливье, как обязательно из шкафа вываливается труп секретарши, любимый главбух ударяется в бега, а самая честная и незаменимая сотрудница, вместо того чтобы загадать для себя, любимой, долгожданное удачное замужество, обязана гоняться за преступниками до самых новогодних курантов. А как иначе, если народная примета гласит: встретишь Новый год в компании злодея – обязательно выйдешь за него замуж!..
