Heroic Potential: Bringing Your True Self to Work for Higher Earnings, Increased Satisfaction, and Greater Well-being by Clint Barr

Within each of us lies the hero we’ve all been waiting for and want to become–our true self. Bringing this hero to work unleashes our greatest potential, resulting in higher earnings, increased satisfaction, and greater well-being. This book serves to help the struggling professional, executive, or entrepreneur in discovering their Inner Hero–which emerges with the convergence of heightened awareness, stronger boundaries, and improved communication.

Through his words and work, Clint Barr hopes to put an end to advice and mantras along the lines of “be like them,” “play the part,” and “fake it until you make it.” These concepts are often part of what we’re told to do. Such mindsets ultimately lead to lower performance output, displeasure with chosen profession, and higher stress levels from all things career and employment.

For too long, we continue sacrificing our sense of self and our happiness, never receiving what we want while pretending to be something we’re not. Heroic Potential offers a new paradigm from which to approach our lives, both professionally and personally. Through Clint’s knowledge of The Birkman Method, compelling case studies, and personal experiences, this book walks through five levels of self-work that lead to a greater understanding of who we are and the purpose for which each of us were created.

That Will Never Work: The Birth of Netflix and the Amazing Life of an Idea by Marc Randolph

In the tradition of Phil Knight’s Shoe Dog comes the incredible untold story of how Netflix went from concept to company-all revealed by co-founder and first CEO Marc Randolph.
Once upon a time, brick-and-mortar video stores were king. Late fees were ubiquitous, video-streaming unheard was of, and widespread DVD adoption seemed about as imminent as flying cars. Indeed, these were the widely accepted laws of the land in 1997, when Marc Randolph had an idea. It was a simple thought-leveraging the internet to rent movies-and was just one of many more and far worse proposals, like personalized baseball bats and a shampoo delivery service, that Randolph would pitch to his business partner, Reed Hastings, on their commute to work each morning.

But Hastings was intrigued, and the pair-with Hastings as the primary investor and Randolph as the CEO-founded a company. Now with over 150 million subscribers, Netflix’s triumph feels inevitable, but the twenty first century’s most disruptive start up began with few believers and calamity at every turn. From having to pitch his own mother on being an early investor, to the motel conference room that served as a first office, to server crashes on launch day, to the now-infamous meeting when Netflix brass pitched Blockbuster to acquire them, Marc Randolph’s transformational journey exemplifies how anyone with grit, gut instincts and determination can change the world-even with an idea that many think will never work.

What emerges,though, isn’t just the inside story of one of the world’s most iconic companies. Full of counter-intuitive concepts and written in binge-worthy prose, it answers some of our most fundamental questions about taking that leap of faith in business or in life: How do you begin? How do you weather disappointment and failure? How do you deal with success? What even is success?

From idea generation to team building to knowing when it’s time to let go, That Will Never Work is not only the ultimate follow-your-dreams parable, but also one of the most dramatic and insightful entrepreneurial stories of our time.

How to transform and compete in the digital age is foremost on every leaders’ mind and the race is on for companies of all sizes to utilize data and technology to be competitive and grow. To what extent an organization can effectively transform will ultimately determine their future success or failure.

Done well, a digital transformation will reduce costs, build efficiencies, and allow companies to better manage their assets, expand market share, better serve customers, and add value to existing customers and shareholders.

And while most companies know that digital transformation is essential and valuable, many of them typically struggle or fail with this implementation. The results are delivered late, go over budget, or simply cannot provide the outcomes they were originally conceived for. Not to mention the millions, or in some cases billions, of dollars spent.

This book’s unique principles and techniques, which are needed for a successful implementation, have been embedded in a compelling story with interesting characters. It will hold your attention while you experience the process through the eyes of a new program manager, Mike Bennett, who is on a profound professional and personal journey.
