The New Business Values for Success in the Twenty-First Century: Improvement, Innovation, Inclusion, Incentives, Information

The authors argue for a new management philosophy that stresses five key values: innovation, improvement, incentives, information, and inclusion. While their plan requires long-term commitment from top management to introduce broad changes, the model makes sense. Their theme emphasizes creating organizations that are "environmentally friendly and more successful in terms of adding value for customers and society."

Winning with a Culture of Recognition: Recognition Strategies at the World's Most Admired Companie

Employee engagement is the great, untapped resource of most organizations. Yet only 25% of employees are truly engaged in their work. Why are all the others so reluctant to "get in the game"? WINNING WITH A CULTURE OF RECOGNITION: Recognition Strategies at the World's Most Admired Companies reveals the surprising answer: Most managers fail to formally recognize high performance and connect it with company culture. Salary and bonuses are only part of today's employment contract. To get everyone performing together, employers need to create a culture of appreciation, recognition, and reward.

Your Attention Please: How to Appeal to Today's Distracted, Disinterested, Disengaged, Disenchanted, and Busy Audiences

Maybe you're in sales...or marketing...or communications? Maybe you're a writer. Maybe you're even a CEO. Whatever your title, you're one of the hundreds of thousands of professionals who communicate for a living-and you're struggling to get your message heard in a noisy and crowded marketplace. Yes, you know what you want to say and who you want to reach. No, you don't have writer's block and you certainly know how to construct a sentence. So what's the problem? The audience you're writing for is going, going, gone... Today's consumer doesn't want to read anymore-they're already overwhelmed by overflowing e-mail, millions of Web pages, and 24/7 news proliferation. Your Attention, Please. is the new strategy guide for communicating to the reluctant consumer. It shows you who the new audience is, how to reach them, and how you must communicate differently-or risk losing mindshare and marketshare.

Now Available: The Essential Guide to Implementation of Stakeholder Capitalism

Last week, the Enterprise Engagement Alliance released its updated Enterprise Engagement for CEOs: The Little Blue Book for Stakeholder Capitalists. This week, it has published its updated Enterprise Engagement: The Roadmap—How to Implement Stakeholder Capitalism to provide management at all levels a comprehensive implementation guide with detailed information on the theory, economics, and practices of Stakeholder Capitalism and human capital management across the enterprise. 
EE Roadmap new cover
 
While Enterprise Engagement for CEOs provides an abbreviated overview of the principles of Stakeholder Capitalism and profiles of some of the CEOs who have practiced it at their organizations, Enterprise Engagement: The Roadmap offers a practical detailed implementation guide that includes information on the principles and economics, as well as on almost all of the tactics involved. 
 
The challenge facing the Stakeholder Capitalism movement is that it is not taught in any schools nor even in executive education program and that it requires organizations to break down the siloes between finance, marketing, human resources, operations, and other business units that hamper efficiency and create poor experiences for customers and employees alike. 
EE for CEOs
 
Stakeholder Capitalism enhances returns for investors by creating value for customers, employees, supply chain and distribution partners, communities, and the environment and should not be confused with “woke” capitalism or Corporate Social Responsibility. See ESM: Stakeholder Capitalism—A Primer.
 
Enterprise Engagement: The Roadmap aims to address the knowledge gap with a desk reference covering almost all the key areas of the field. Writes Grace Swanson, Vice President, Human Capital at Accumold, a leading precision manufacturer, “By the time I finished reading Enterprise Engagement: The Roadmap my copy was filled with Post-it notes highlighting information I knew I would need to reference later. This book provides a complete guide to almost everything an organization needs to implement a strategic approach to engaging everyone in organizational goals in a systematic way.”               
 
Gary Rhoads, retired Stephen Mack Covey Professor of Marketing Emeritus at the Marriot School of Business at Brigham Young University and Chairman of Xvoyant, a sales engagement technology firm, “As a professor of marketing and entrepreneurship for most of my career, and founder of two leading companies in sales and marketing management, I know that delivering promises is one of the most critical strategies for success. Yet too many organizations fail to address the importance of engaging all stakeholders in organizational goals. Enterprise Engagement: The Roadmap is the only book I know that focuses on how to apply a strategic and tactical approach to engagement across the enterprise in a systematic way.” 
          
Adds Barbara Porter, Managing Director, Ernst & Young, "I have spent much of my career helping organizations develop great cultures, and in the end a successful strategy requires a CEO-led approach to connecting employees, managers, customers, vendors, suppliers, the community—everyone inside and outside the organization who has a stake in its success. I have repeatedly referenced almost every chapter in Enterprise Engagement: The Roadmap since the first edition came out, as it’s the only book I know of that puts together in one place all the tactics needed to address engagement to achieve organizational results.” 
 
As shown in the table of contents below, the book covers almost every topic involved with the implementation of Stakeholder Capitalism, including career opportunities and the potential impact on government. The edition now includes appendices on human capital management, reporting, and analysis.
