Strategy

"What Is Strategy?" - Michael E. Porter, argues that rivals can easily copy your operational effectiveness, but they can't copy your strategic positioning-what distinguishes you from all the rest. Learn how to develop your own unique strategic positioning.

" Blue Ocean Strategic Thinking" - Kim and Mauborgne. They argue that traditional competition-based strategies (red ocean strategies) while necessary, are not sufficient to sustain high performance. Companies need to go beyond competing. To seize new profit and growth opportunities they also need to create blue oceans of uncontested space. Learn how.

Leadership

"Authentic Leadership" - William W. George . What is authentic leadership? How can you become and remain an authentic leader? In this timely presentation, we outline what it means to be a leader. Leadership is not about style or emulating another leader. It's about responsibility and stewardship. A true leader appeals not only to people's minds, but to their hearts, as leaders demonstrate through their vision and values.

"Managing Oneself" - Peter F. Drucker, encourages us to carve our own paths by asking questions such as, "What are my strengths?" and "Where do I belong?" This classic has timeless relevance.
