1. The Secret of Changes : winning hearts, changing minds

Imprint : Kuala Lumpur : KL Strategic Change Consulting , 2008
Mukasurat : 133 ms
Sinopsis:
The Secret of Change : There is a power of change within us. The secret is not about some ambiguous law of attraction. It is not simply wishing for things to change. It is not thinking about change and imagining things to change by themselves. The true secret is that we create the desired change by unleashing the internal power within us and take the necessary actions to make things happen out there.
This book conveys the messages in a unique and attractive form backed with powerful arguments for change. The book is written with powerful-crafted poetic verses accompanied by elegant rhythms, rhymes and reasons to persuade readers to transform their way of thinking and working. I believe this book is a product of “blue-ocean” thinking is a breakthrough in the publishing industry

Personal Quality is the degree to which an individual expresses positive personal attributes, practises good human relations and exhibits superior work performance.1 The most critical attribute of personal quality is self-esteem which makes the most of one’s personality and abilities. In the words of John Gilmore, “The most conspicuous characteristic which differentiates the highly productive individual from others is self-esteem.”2
Enhancing Personal Quality Model
All of us, regardless of our age, experiences or academic qualifications, can enhance our level of personal quality.

7. Membebaskan minda yang terjajah : peranan strategik pengurus dalam peningkatan produktiviti organisasi
Pengarang : Victor Tan
Imprint : Kuala Lumpur : Pelanduk Publications , 2000
Muka surat : 183 ms.
Sinopsis :
Penulis buku ini, Victor S.L. Tan seorang yang berpengalaman dalam bidang pengurusan dan pelaksanaan perubahan organisasi. Huraian yang mudah mengenai minda dan perubahan. Satu petikan yang menarik dalam buku ini ialah: terlalu ramai yang menghabiskan banyak masa mewajarkan kenapa sesuatu perkara itu tidak boleh dilakukan, ataupun mengapa mereka bukan orang yang sesuai untuk melakukannya dengan memberi 1000 alasan.
Kadangkala kita menghabiskan masa berbincang tentang “tidak boleh,” “menyusahkan” dan “tidak ada faedah” bagi sesuatu perkara. Jika kita melihat kembali sejarah kejayaan reka cipta dan kecemerlangan organisasi, kejayaan itu dicetuskan oleh mereka yang menggunakan pemikiran sendiri dan yakin dengan apa yang difikirkan. Ada juga yang mengubah dunia dengan mempertahankan prinsip yang diketahui.
Penerima Anugerah Nobel 2006, Profesor Mohamad Yunus dari Bangladesh yang menubuhkan Bank Grameen untuk membantu orang miskin memberi penyelesaian ke atas program pembasmian di seluruh dunia. Beliau telah membebaskan pemikiran totok pegawai-pegawai bank di Bangladesh yang sangat sukar memberi pinjaman kepada orang miskin untuk memulakan perniagaan. DI Malaysia, program ini dikenali sebagai Amanah Ikhtiar Malaysia (AIM).
Pembaziran sumber manusia yang terbesar di dalam organisasi ialah minda yang terjajah. Minda yang terjajah tidak berupaya menyesuaikan diri atau berubah mengikut keadaan. Ia menyekat kebolehan seseorang. Ia tidak imaginatif, kreatif atau inovatif dan tidak mampu memikirkan penyelesaian baru. Bagi menjamin kejayaan organisasi mereka, pemimpin dan eksekutif harus membebaskan minda yang terjajah.
Buku yang hebat ini menawarkan suatu panduan untuk membebaskan minda yang terjajah ke arah peningkatan produktiviti dan keuntungan organisasi. Ia menerangkan secara terperinci mengenai cara-cara: membebaskan minda dan mendapatkan komitmen pekerja, mengatasi kegawatan, mencipta peluang, memotivasikan pekerja dan memimpin dengan cemerlang.
Kesesuaian mempraktikkan saranan-saranan di dalam buku ini dapat meningkatkan organisasi menepati wawasan dan hala tuju kepimpinan.

9. The biggest game of all
Pengarang : Leo Hindery, Jr.
Imprint : New York : The Free Press , 2003
Muka surat : 256 ms
Sinopsis :
The Biggest Game of All is an average book by cable executive Leo Hindery: the most exceptional thing about it is its ludicrously long post-colon subtitle. You are unlikely to learn a whole lot about business, but the book is an interesting memoir of a career spent as a dealmaker in the cable industry.
Hindery details many deals. Three stand out. Hindery, then a conservative and involved in the formation of Fox News, admits that it was by design a conservative counterpart to the liberal CNN. A signature page signed by mistake at the tail-end of a hectic negotiation cost Hindery millions of his own dollars. Hindery was also involved in the formation of the New York Yankee’s network (YES). Focused sports network, such as the Big 10 Network, have become big business. There is a lot of hubris present, but there is also lessons to be learned from all the war stories
This book is a must-read for anyone involved in mergers and acquisitions in the cable or media industries, a should read for people doing M&A in other industries and a worthwhile read for anyone with an interest in business and investing. The author sat at the deal-making table with some of the best negotiators in the media and communications industries. His general advice about negotiating strategy and tactics is quite familiar, but he brings a unique insight into the motivations and manipulations of CEOs and investment bankers. Academics have long puzzled over why CEOs implement value-destroying M&A deals. Here’s a first-hand, eyewitness account of how these big deals come to be. Even if you have little faith in the astuteness of executives, the author’s revelations will surprise you. Just when you thought nobody could be that stupid, here comes an anecdote about another boardroom leader who was. The detail, it must be said, gets exhaustive at times, but if you love deals, we think that you’ll be too absorbed to care.

Small business owners face numerous situations in which their businesses must be valued, including divorce, the sale of a business, arranging for business continuation in the event of retirement, death and/or disability.

It provides a complete overview of the techniques of business valuation, including factors influencing business valuation, various valuation approaches, and valuation calculations.
“The Business of Business Valuation is a powerful book and it’s about time. It is written in a clear and easy to understand style. What’s exciting is the breadth of audience it addresses. This book is not just for valuation professionals…it is clearly for all business owners, employees, educators and students.

It is often said, `Information is power,’ and this book is a must-have tool to obtaining an optimum result whether you are a valuator, business appraiser or the most important element — the client.
