Download or read book Unexpected Company written by Douglass McFerran and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-08 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years before the Second Vatican Council great numbers of young men, typically just out of high school, entered a Jesuit novitiate to begin the thirteen-year march to the priesthood. Most would leave the Jesuits, sometimes long after ordination, and the question often is whether they failed their church or their church failed them. In often brutally frank disclosures, a number of these former Jesuits talk about their lives: why they became novices and took lifetime vows and then why they left, sometimes just walking away after years in the priesthood. What they have to say about themselves exposes a world once shrouded in secrecy.

Finally, it can be delivered by any organization in any industry and of any size. "The Unexpected" is designed for entrepreneurs and business owners; senior executives; educational professionals; and front-line service employees.

Book Synopsis Expect the Unexpected by : Richard Parsons
Download or read book Expect the Unexpected written by Richard Parsons and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-27 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A serious disruption will happen in every business—it’s not a question of if but when. If the disruption is big enough, it can destroy you, but it can also give you the opportunity to succeed beyond previous achievements. For instance, no one predicted the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it has destroyed some companies and helped others. Richard Parsons, the former corporate controller for M&M/Mars and a faculty member at Texas A&M University – Texarkana, shares case studies that exemplify how to deal with surprising situations in this book. He highlights best practices such as: • Be close to the customer. Too often, we focus on competitors when it’s customers that end up surprising us. Their tastes and preferences change quickly. • Focus on what you can control. Especially in the short term, don’t expect things to turn out like you planned. Owners and executives can get caught up with enthusiasm or despair over short-term results and lose discipline and direction. On the surface, these ideas and many others may seem simple, but that is exactly why they are so powerful. When you get the fundamentals right, you have the foundation on which other ideas can succeed.

Download or read book Seoul Man written by Frank Ahrens and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recounting his three years in Korea, the highest-ranking non-Korean executive at Hyundai sheds light on a business culture very few Western journalists ever experience, in this revealing, moving, and hilarious memoir. When Frank Ahrens, a middle-aged bachelor and eighteen-year veteran at the Washington Post, fell in love with a diplomat, his life changed dramatically. Following his new bride to her first appointment in Seoul, South Korea, Frank traded the newsroom for a corporate suite, becoming director of global communications at Hyundai Motors. In a land whose population is 97 percent Korean, he was one of fewer than ten non-Koreans at a company headquarters of thousands of employees. For the next three years, Frank traveled to auto shows and press conferences around the world, pitching Hyundai to former colleagues while trying to navigate cultural differences at home and at work. While his appreciation for absurdity enabled him to laugh his way through many awkward encounters, his job began to take a toll on his marriage and family. Eventually he became a vice president—the highest-ranking non-Korean at Hyundai headquarters. Filled with unique insights and told in his engaging, humorous voice, Seoul Man sheds light on a culture few Westerners know, and is a delightfully funny and heartwarming adventure for anyone who has ever felt like a fish out of water—all of us.

Download or read book The Worthy written by Will Clarke and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-07-03 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conrad had it pretty good in life -- a Porsche, pretty girls, and a trust fund full of oil money. But now, thanks to a brutal hazing incident at Louisiana State University's Gamma Chi fraternity, Conrad is dead -- a nineteen-year-old spirit suddenly without an earthly body. Make no mistake, the newly deceased Conrad is one angry ghost, and the object of his wrath is chapter president Ryan Hutchins, a "big, bright, rising star" who, in Conrad's view, is really "the darkest black hole you'll ever meet -- and I'm not just saying that because he killed me." Conrad's ghostly ability to see all but be seen by no one (except Miss Etta, Gamma Chi's elderly cook, who is gifted with paranormal powers) confirms his suspicion that Ryan's dark hand has a wide reach, from beating his girlfriend, Maggie Meadows, to terrorizing Sarah Jane Bradford, a religious student who senses that Ryan must be stopped. Out for revenge, Conrad possesses an unsuspecting pledge's body so he can finish what Ryan started, steering them toward a depraved confrontation with a surprising outcome that will leave readers gasping.

Book Synopsis Inside Arthur Andersen by : Susan Elaine Squires
Download or read book Inside Arthur Andersen written by Susan Elaine Squires and published by FT Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors bring their unique insights to a close-range observation of Andersen's culture that has continued for more than 15 years. They first review Andersen's unique history and role; its traditionally careful attention to "enculturing" new employees via mentoring, social networking, rewards and punishments; and its social structure characterized by personal, "familial" relationships. Next, they narrate two decades of change at Andersen, showing how the firm's tightly integrated cultural system gradually began to devolve, rapidly coming apart in the wake of the 1990s new economy revolution. The book concludes with an insightful discussion of the systemic cultural and business factors that placed Andersen and many other organizations at risk, along with a realistic assessment of the proposed reforms.
