"Dr. Spencer Johnson has the rare ability to be interesting, provocative and succinct. My admiration is complete."--Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, author of "The Power of Positive Thinking"
Businessman and Author Guy Marini shares the corporate culture developed by his colleagues and him now known as the 6 R Method.
This management philosophy/ method has its roots on the dignity of work and the power of collective effort and collaborative spirit.
The 6 R Method led to consistent, growing profits, strong returns to shareholders while providing job security and employee satisfaction to the Company's workforce. The average employee tenure of the Company was well above industry norms.
Guy Marini also adds his thoughts regarding how businesses can lead the way to improve growing income inequality.
The target audience for the book is primarily those in senior executive positions at companies that are classified as middle market or larger. However, the principles described could be adapted to smaller companies as well. Finally, the book should be read by middle managers, senior staff and those in the workforce at large. These people, critical to the success of the organization, would be well advised to understand the 6 R Method so they can make better choices as they look to provide their energy and talent to companies who they are considering for employment.
Remember the debt crisis? The worst economic crisis in America since the Great Depression. The United States almost went under.
People say it was caused by the federal government forcing poor people to own their own homes. Were they nuts? Everyone knows that poor people can't own their own homes. That's why we have projects. That's why we have trailer parks. That's why we have shelters.
Well it's going to happen all over again. Poor people are saying there aren't any apartments they can afford anymore, and banks won't help them buy trailers. So they are trying to own homes again. Don't fall for it! It will bring the economy down again. Here's the proof!
This is the true story of Alice, a poor person, who wanted to buy a home the last time around.
David Falk is the most successful agent in the game of basketball. He has represented more NBA first-round draft selections, lottery picks, Rookies-of-the-Year, and All-Stars than anyone else in the business. He changed the NBA's entire salary structure with a unique approach to negotiations that garnered some of the biggest contracts in league history, including Alonzo Mourning's $100-plus million contract with the Miami Heat -- the first ever in professional sports. His groundbreaking Nike deal for Michael Jordan, the most successful endorsement relationship in history, revolutionized basketball by creating the game's first commercial superstar.
"Basketball Digest" called Falk one of the sport's most influential people, second only to NBA commissioner David Stern. In "The Bald Truth," Falk, respected throughout the industry as an innovator, candidly unveils the business secrets that have fueled his extraordinary success. For the first time, he shares the fascinating insider details of how he negotiated lucrative contracts, learned from his mistakes, and branded and marketed not only the greatest basketball stars in history but also other elite athletes and coaches.
Falk is blunt, he's fair, and he looks at the long run rather than the short-term gains. To make a great deal, he believes, both sides have to win. He adheres to steadfast principles, some of which he learned from the celebrated champion athletes and revered coaching legends -- like Georgetown's John Thompson and Duke's Mike Krzyzewski -- who have been long-standing clients and lifelongfriends.
Since Falk began representing athletes more than thirty-five years ago, basketball has grown from a fledgling team sport to a multibilliondollar business with celebrity players, powerful endorsement deals, salary caps, and ever-evolving free agency rules. He has made millions of dollars for himself and his clients, but today he remains in the business for one reason: love of the game -- on and off the court.
