The Art of Being Indispensable at Work: Win Influence, Beat Overcommitment, and Get the Right Things Done by Bruce TulganWhat's the secret to being indispensable--being a true go-to person--in today's workplace? In this game-changing yet practical book, Bruce Tulgan shows how to be that true go-to person. Based on an intensive study of people at all levels, in all kinds of organizations, Tulgan shows how go-to people not only behave differently, but also think differently, basing their decisions and actions on their own personal influence rather than on any formal designation of authority. At the heart of the go-to person's unique credo are the basics of "the ask" and the response--a powerful reimagining of how to say yes and when to say no.

Lights Out: Pride, Delusion, and the Fall of General Electric by Thomas Gryta and Ted MannSince its founding in 1892, GE has been more than just a corporation. For generations, it was job security, a solidly safe investment, and an elite business education for top managers. GE electrified America, powering everything from lightbulbs to turbines, and became fully integrated into the American societal mindset as few companies ever had. And after two decades of leadership under legendary CEO Jack Welch, GE entered the twenty-first century as America’s most valuable corporation. Yet, fewer than two decades later, the GE of old was gone. This is the definitive history of General Electric’s epic decline, as told by the two Wall Street Journal reporters who covered its fall.
