Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Over 90% of startups fail - yet a distinct group of founders defies this statistic repeatedly. Serial entrepreneurs succeed not because they are inherently more talented or better resourced than first-time founders, but because they have internalized the patterns that govern how successful ventures begin, gain traction, and sustain momentum. Previously successful repeat entrepreneurs are nearly twice as likely to succeed in their next venture compared to first-time founders - a gap explained not by luck, but by the systematic recognition and application of launch patterns.This book examines what those patterns actually are. Drawing on the accumulated intelligence of serial founders across industries and geographies, it distills the repeatable logic beneath successful launches: starting with a sharply defined problem before building a solution, validating demand before committing capital, hiring with discipline rather than urgency, and aligning the venture to macro waves rather than chasing isolated ideas. These are not abstract principles - they are structural habits that serial founders apply instinctively because experience has made the cost of ignoring them viscerally clear.Beyond tactical insight, the book explores the deeper cognitive discipline that separates experienced founders from first-timers: the ability to recognize when a pattern applies, when it does not, and when the market demands a deliberate departure from established frameworks. It examines how serial founders manage the tension between the confidence that experience grants and the intellectual humility that sustained success demands.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - When the United States entered World War II, the Navy faced a problem no admiral had trained for: how to keep hundreds of thousands of young, frightened, and restless men psychologically intact between the terror of combat and the grinding monotony of base life. The answer, improbable and enduring, was baseball. More than 500 Major League players and 4,000 minor leaguers enlisted or were drafted into the armed forces, and the Navy - with characteristic institutional purpose - put them to work not only in uniform, but at bat.At Naval Training Station Norfolk, the program became something extraordinary. Led by Bob Feller and Fred Hutchinson, the NTS Bluejackets compiled a stunning 92-8 record in 1942, fielding a roster that included three New York Yankees - Phil Rizzuto among them - and regularly defeating visiting Major League teams brought in specifically to play them. In May 1943, the Red Sox and Washington Senators traveled to Norfolk not as entertainers but as opponents, facing a Navy squad that was, by any measure, one of the finest baseball teams in wartime America. The games raised millions in war bond sales, kept sailors out of trouble, and gave 18- and 19-year-old recruits something achingly familiar in the most unfamiliar season of their lives.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - On the night of 14 May 1741, HMS Wager - a converted merchant vessel pressed into service as a Royal Navy warship - struck rocks off the desolate coast of Patagonia during a violent storm. Of the roughly 250 men aboard, only 145 reached the barren, unnamed island that would bear the ship's name. What happened next was not merely a survival story. It was a slow unraveling of command, loyalty, and law at the very edge of the known world.Captain David Cheap, wounded and increasingly erratic, shot dead an unarmed midshipman, Henry Cozens, for perceived insubordination. His authority disintegrated. Led by the austere Gunner John Bulkeley, the surviving crew mutinied - arresting their captain, drafting a formal manifesto stripping him of command, and departing the island in an improvised longboat with 81 men. They navigated over 2,500 miles of storm-wracked, ice-lashed seas through the Strait of Magellan, arriving in Brazil with just 30 survivors alive. Cheap and a handful of loyalists eventually returned separately years later, via Spanish captivity and prisoner exchange.When both parties finally reached England, they told contradictory stories - and each man's version was a bid to escape the gallows. The court martial convened on 15 April 1746 aboard HMS Prince George at Portsmouth, with testimony from Cheap, Bulkeley, midshipman John Byron - grandfather of the poet - and the gaunt remnants of a crew that had barely outlived their ship. In a verdict that stunned observers, all were acquitted - except one lieutenant admonished for a navigational omission. The Admiralty, embarrassed by the catastrophe, preferred silence over justice. But the affair left a permanent mark: British naval law was subsequently amended to ensure that sailors remained subject to military discipline even after their ship was lost.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - There are seasons of faith that no one warns you about - the long stretches of silence after earnest prayer, the doubt that surfaces not in spite of belief but somehow within it, the exhaustion of continuing to trust when the evidence feels thin and the night feels long. These are not signs of weak faith. They are, as the whole of scripture attests, the very terrain through which the deepest faith is often formed.This book explores the quiet, sustaining comfort that sound theological reflection can offer to believers in the midst of genuine struggle. Not the kind of theology that explains suffering away, or offers tidy answers to questions that deserve to be held with more honesty - but the kind that sits down beside you in the darkness and says: you are not abandoned here. It invites readers to find in the great doctrines of grace not abstract propositions, but living words that speak directly to the ache of the struggling soul.Drawing from the rich tradition of Reformed and broadly evangelical theology - from Augustine's restless heart finding rest in God, to Luther's theology of the cross, to the tender pastoral writings of Charles Spurgeon and Tim Keller - these pages explore how the truths of justification, adoption, divine faithfulness, and the inexhaustible mercy of God become most precious precisely when life is hardest. Theology, at its best, is not a lecture for the mind but a balm for the soul.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The most counterintuitive discovery in modern leadership research is also among its most empirically robust: leaders who demonstrate vulnerability - who openly acknowledge limitations, admit uncertainty, and invite honest dialogue - build trust 60% more effectively than those who project authority and certainty alone. This finding challenges one of the most persistent myths in organizational life: that effective leadership requires the performance of strength. In reality, the Vulnerable Leader Equation - Vulnerability plus Competence equals Vulnerable Leadership - reveals that it is the deliberate combination of openness and capability that generates the deepest and most durable forms of follower trust.This book examines the dual disciplines of shared purpose and leadership vulnerability as the twin foundations of cohesive, high-performance team culture. Drawing on McKinsey's research from The Journey of Leadership, Brené Brown's empirically grounded work on courageous leadership, and Duke Corporate Education's study spanning over 100 CEOs and 14,000 employees globally, it explores how leaders who model vulnerability - openly acknowledging mistakes, expressing genuine uncertainty, and inviting perspectives they do not already hold - create the psychological conditions under which shared purpose becomes not a stated value but a collectively lived commitment. When leaders put outcomes ahead of ego and purpose ahead of personal credit, teams cease to follow a title and begin to follow a direction that belongs to everyone.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Spiritual growth rarely announces itself. It does not arrive in a single dramatic moment of clarity, but gathers quietly - in the small pauses, the honest prayers, the brief encounters with a verse that somehow speaks directly to the ache of the week. It is less a destination than a daily orientation: turning, again and again, toward the One who already knows you fully.This book explores the gentle, cumulative power of brief devotional practice - the kind that does not demand an hour of silence or a seminary degree, but only a few unhurried minutes and an open heart. As Paul's prayer for the Philippians reminds us, spiritual growth begins not with effort but with love - and it is love, quietly tended each day, that these pages seek to nourish.Drawing from the tradition of short-but-profound devotional writing, each reflection in this book is designed to be received, not studied. To be a moment of companionship in the middle of an ordinary day - at breakfast, on a lunch break, or in the still minutes before sleep. Like the words of Lamentations that have comforted believers for centuries, these pages hold to one steady truth: His compassions are new every morning.It explores what it means to grow spiritually without striving - to cooperate with grace rather than manufacture it. For those who have felt too busy, too tired, or too spiritually small for devotional life, this book offers a different invitation: not to do more, but to receive more - one brief, honest reflection at a time.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - They came with flags in their hearts. Young men raised on the clean narratives of World War II - of clear enemies, righteous causes, and homecoming parades - arrived in the jungles of Vietnam to find a war that refused every category they had been given to understand it. There was no front line. There was no liberated city to march through. There was only heat, rot, fear, and the maddening impossibility of distinguishing the landscape from the enemy within it. The patriotic adventure promised by recruitment posters dissolved within weeks of arrival - replaced by something rawer, more disorienting, and far more permanent than any briefing had prepared them for.The Vietnam War claimed over 58,000 American lives and an estimated two million Vietnamese civilians, yet its most enduring wounds were not counted in casualty reports. Veterans returned home to a country that had grown hostile to the war they had fought, offered neither the dignity of welcome nor the infrastructure of genuine healing. Post-traumatic stress disorder - not yet named, barely understood - moved through an entire generation of men who had been trained to suppress fear and had no language for what the jungle had done to them. Agent Orange poisoned bodies across decades and generations. The My Lai massacre, the systematic burning of villages, the use of napalm on civilian populations - atrocities that the chain of command either ordered or deliberately ignored - shattered the self-image of a military that had defined itself through the moral clarity of the Second World War.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In January 1975, Paul Allen was walking through Harvard Square when he spotted the cover of Popular Electronics magazine - a photograph of the MITS Altair 8800, billed as the 'World's First Microcomputer Kit.' He bought the magazine and ran to Currier House at Harvard, where he found his nineteen-year-old childhood friend Bill Gates. Both men understood immediately, with a clarity that almost no one else on earth shared at that moment, that what they were looking at was not a hobbyist curiosity - it was the beginning of a civilizational transformation. Their first program, a BASIC interpreter for the Altair 8800, was written in marathon sessions on a DEC PDP-10 simulator without ever having been tested on the actual machine - and when Paul Allen flew to Albuquerque to demonstrate it to MITS president Ed Roberts, it ran perfectly on the very first attempt. Year-end sales for 1975 totalled $16,005.The pivot that made Microsoft a global institution was not technological genius - it was a single contractual negotiation of extraordinary strategic consequence. When IBM approached Microsoft in 1980 to develop an operating system for its forthcoming personal computer, Gates made a promise he had no immediate capacity to fulfil - and then purchased a CP/M clone called 86-DOS from Seattle Computer Products for $75,000, adapted it into MS-DOS, and licensed it to IBM on terms that allowed Microsoft to retain ownership of the operating system and license it independently to other manufacturers. IBM, whose institutional culture led it to undervalue software relative to hardware, effectively handed Microsoft the right to define the software standard of every IBM-compatible personal computer that would follow - which is to say, of the industry itself. When Columbia Data Products, Compaq, and Eagle Computer successfully cloned the IBM PC hardware in the early 1980s, a flood of IBM-compatible machines entered the market - and every one of them required MS-DOS.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Most people have felt it at least once - a moment when what they were doing and who they were becoming seemed to belong together. Work that did not feel like labor. Effort that did not feel like strain. A quiet sense of being exactly where they were supposed to be. This book explores that feeling not as a rare gift reserved for a fortunate few, but as a quality of life available to anyone willing to listen closely to themselves.The tension between passion and vocation is one of the quiet struggles of modern life. We are told to follow what we love, yet practical realities pull us toward what pays, what is safe, what others approve of. This book does not offer a formula for resolving that tension - it offers something more honest: an invitation to sit with it, explore it, and gradually discover where love and livelihood can begin to move in the same direction.Lasting purpose is rarely found in a single dramatic decision. It is built slowly, through attentiveness - through noticing what brings aliveness, what calls forth your best self, and what kind of contribution feels most true. This book invites readers to see passion not as an emotion to chase, but as a signal to follow; and vocation not as a title to earn, but as a way of being in the world that honors both who you are and what you are here to give.It is a book for those who sense there is more alignment available to them - and who are ready to move toward it not with urgency, but with quiet, honest intention.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Annual planning is the most institutionally respected and operationally unreliable ritual in modern business. Organizations invest weeks crafting twelve-month roadmaps that bear little resemblance to the decisions they will actually make by March - and research confirms that nearly 50% of what organizations ultimately execute was not part of their original annual plan. The calendar year is not a natural execution unit; it is a financial convention that has been mistaken for a strategic one, producing cultures where urgency is perpetually deferred and accountability rarely lands with precision.This book examines the structural case for replacing annual planning with a system of disciplined, short-cycle execution goals - drawing on the 4 Disciplines of Execution framework developed by FranklinCovey and the 12 Week Year methodology of Brian Moran and Michael Lennington. It explores how Wildly Important Goals, lead measures, compelling scoreboards, and weekly cadences of accountability create an execution architecture that annual planning structurally cannot replicate. The shift from fixed annual targets to rolling, disciplined execution cycles transforms strategic intent from an aspiration into a measurable, weekly-tracked reality.Beyond frameworks and methodology, this book addresses the organizational mindset shift required to sustain disciplined execution at scale - moving teams from the comfort of planning to the discipline of doing, from directional goals to lead-measure accountability, and from annual review ceremonies to continuous performance intelligence. When execution becomes the organizing rhythm of an organization rather than the aftermath of planning, strategy ceases to be a document and becomes a living system of purposeful, relentless progress.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - By the early 19th century, Edinburgh had become one of Europe's foremost centres of anatomical knowledge - a city of lecture halls where surgeons achieved near-celebrity status, and where the study of the human body had transformed from theological transgression into scientific necessity. Yet the law had not kept pace with ambition. Legal cadavers were restricted almost entirely to executed criminals, leaving a chronic and widening gap between what medicine demanded and what the state permitted. Into that gap stepped the resurrection men - and behind them, the killers.The Burke and Hare murders of 1828 did not emerge from simple criminality. They emerged from a system in which distinguished anatomists like Dr. Robert Knox paid without questions for fresh corpses, in which the British government quietly looked away from the resurrection trade, and in which the pressure to remain competitive with continental European medical schools justified a collective moral blindness. Knox paid Burke and Hare £7 to £10 per body - equivalent to nearly £600 today - and his lectures drew not only medical students but philosophers, artists, and the Edinburgh public hungry for enlightenment. The same institution that celebrated scientific progress was sustained, in part, by sixteen murders.This book traces the deeper architecture of that ambition - the anatomy theatres built on unclaimed bodies, the graveyard watchtowers constructed by terrified Edinburgh families seeking to protect their dead, and the professional culture that made Knox's willing ignorance not an aberration but a symptom. Burke was executed on 28 January 1829 before a crowd of 20,000 and then dissected himself - a grim irony the city seemed to understand instinctively. His skeleton remains in the Surgeon's Hall Museum in Edinburgh to this day, a monument to the point where scientific hunger and human cost became indistinguishable.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book explores how the quiet rhythm of consistent, small actions often yields deeper change than occasional bursts of intense effort. It invites you to notice the everyday moments-like a brief pause to breathe, a single line written, or a gentle return to a routine after a break-and see how they accumulate into lasting shifts. Rather than prescribing a formula, it offers space to reflect on what feels sustainable and kind for you. The tone is warm and understanding, honoring the effort you already make and encouraging curiosity about what feels true, not what you think you should do. By focusing on the gentle accumulation of daily choices, the book helps you develop a steady sense of capability that grows softly over time.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The decisions made at the moment of business formation carry tax consequences that compound silently for years. Entity structure, tax elections, compensation design, and compliance architecture are not administrative details - they are strategic choices that determine how much of every dollar earned the business actually retains. For first-time and early-stage business owners, the cost of structural misalignment is rarely visible at launch, but becomes acutely apparent at tax time, during audits, or at the point of scaling.This book examines the full tax and compliance landscape of business setup: from the foundational choice between sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, S-corporation, and C-corporation - each carrying distinct implications for self-employment tax, pass-through treatment, and owner liability - to the more nuanced decisions around Qualified Business Income (QBI) deductions, R&E cost expensing, and retirement plan contributions that reduce taxable income while building long-term financial resilience. It also maps the 2026 regulatory environment shaped by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), which has revived key provisions and reshaped how businesses approach depreciation, capitalization, and entity-level planning.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Every generation of Americans has inherited a country in the middle of an argument it did not start - and has been asked to carry that argument forward. The conflict that animates this book is the oldest in American public life: the tension between the collective good and individual liberty, between the nation's stated ideals and the distance still to travel before those ideals describe lived reality. From Reconstruction through the Progressive Era, the New Deal, the civil rights movement, the Reagan revolution, and the culture wars of the twenty-first century, that tension has been the engine of American political change.A Nation Still Becoming offers an accessible, narrative-driven survey of modern American politics and culture from the late nineteenth century to the present - written not for scholars but for readers who want to understand, in plain language, how the country arrived at this particular moment. It moves through the pivotal episodes that shaped the national character: the convulsive transformation of industrialization, which created the first billionaires and the first mass labor movement in the same decade; the New Deal's redefinition of what Americans could expect from their government; the post-war consensus that produced the middle class and the Cold War simultaneously; and the fracturing of that consensus in the 1960s into a culture war that has never fully resolved.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The most enduring leadership philosophy of the modern era does not begin with power - it begins with the question: whom do I serve Servant leadership, first articulated by Robert Greenleaf after drawing inspiration from Hermann Hesse's Journey to the East, inverts the traditional hierarchy by positioning the leader's primary purpose as the development, empowerment, and elevation of those they lead. In a 2026 organizational landscape where employees increasingly evaluate leaders on authenticity, values alignment, and psychological safety rather than title or tenure, this inversion is no longer idealistic - it is strategically essential.This book examines the full operational model of influence-through-service: how servant leaders build voluntary followership through the consistent practice of ten foundational disciplines - listening, empathy, healing, awareness, persuasion, conceptualization, foresight, stewardship, commitment to growth, and community-building. It explores the critical distinction between positional authority - the ability to compel compliance through reward and sanction - and moral authority, the ability to generate genuine commitment through demonstrated investment in others' success. The book also maps how servant leadership functions effectively in the complete absence of formal authority, drawing on the research finding that cultivating and leveraging influence through service is not only possible without positional power but frequently more effective - producing deeper engagement, stronger team cohesion, and higher organizational performance.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - America's entanglement with the Middle East did not begin with oil, nor with the Cold War, nor with the wars of the twenty-first century. It began with pirates, merchants, and a young republic desperate for legitimacy on the world's oldest stage. In 1777, Morocco became the first foreign nation to recognize American independence. A decade later, over a hundred American sailors languished in Algerian captivity - the first American hostage crisis - while Jefferson and Adams negotiated in a currency of dignity they could not yet afford.Kingdoms the West Desired traces the full arc of this three-century relationship: from the Barbary Wars of 1801-1805, when Thomas Jefferson dispatched a navy rather than pay tribute to Tripoli, through the missionary networks of the nineteenth century that built colleges in Beirut and Istanbul while quietly remaking local elites, to the seismic rupture of World War II - described by Ambassador Raymond Hare as 'the great divide' in American-Middle Eastern relations - when Washington stepped into the vacuum left by crumbling British and French empires and inherited their resentments.What followed was a foreign policy shaped equally by grand strategy and chronic misreading. American support for anti-communist monarchies and autocrats - in Iran, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt - purchased short-term stability at the cost of lasting popular legitimacy. The CIA coup in Iran in 1953, the Eisenhower Doctrine, the arming of Kurdish rebels later abandoned to Iraqi reprisals, the unconditional alliance with Israel that the Arab world read as structural bias - each episode left a sediment of grievance that the next generation of American policymakers inherited without fully understanding.
