He founded his firstunderground newspaper in fourth grade. He refused to be on the CBSEvening News with Walter Cronkite at 16 ('There's not enoughClearasil in the world for that to happen').

The coauthor of the international bestseller Execution hascreated the how-to guide for solving today's toughest businesschallenge: creating profitable growth that is organic,differentiated, and sustainable. For many, growth is about "home runs"—the big bold idea, the nextnew thing, the product that will revolutionize the marketplace.While obviously attractive and lucrative, home runs don't happenevery day and frequently come in cycles. Products like Kevlar, Teflon, and the Dell business model forselling personal computers may be once-in-a-decade phenomena. Asurer and more consistent path to profitable revenue growth isthrough "singles and doubles"—small day-to-day wins and adaptationto changes in the marketplace that build the foundation forsubstantially increasing revenues. The impact of singles anddoubles can be huge. They are not only the basis for sustainedrevenue growth but, in fact, the foundation for home runs. Singlesand doubles provide the discipline of execution, an absolutene

Rosabeth Moss Kanter on the answer to the global crisis ofbusiness and American-style capitalism. Out of the ashes of conventional business models arises a set ofcompanies using their power not only for profits and sustainablegrowth but also social good. If you think business corporations are doomed to be lumbering,bloated, and corrupt, think again. Based on an extraordinary three-year investigation, interviewingmore than 350 key people at major companies around the world,Rosabeth Moss Kanter provides encouraging and astounding evidencethat this assumption is completely outdated. The businesses thatare agile, keeping ahead of the curve in terms of market changesand customer needs, are the businesses that are also progressive,socially responsible human communities. Take IBM. When the tsunami and earthquake struck Asia, IBM didn’tjust cut a check for relief funds and call it a day.

The Accidental Millionaire is the memoir of Gary Fong, would-be slacker who revolutionized wedding photography, inventor of popular photography aids, entrepreneur, contrarian, bon vivant and a man who really, really didn't want to become a doctor. A first-generation Chinese-American, Gary was raised in one of Los Angeles' least-desirable neighborhoods and was forced to deal―in his own quirky and often very funny way―with the burdens of poverty, crime and his parents' relentless aspirations. These issues almost overwhelmed him until he had a dramatic epiphany. Spotting a bumper sticker that read "Since I gave up hope, I feel much better," Gary promptly did just that. He stopped trying and started succeeding. At turns hilarious, insightful and instructive, The Accidental Millionaire is Horatio Alger-meets-David Sedaris. Turning the traditional self-help principles upside down, The Accidental Millionaire disdains the goal-oriented approaches of traditional self-help philosophies. Sometimes not k
