Digg it UP - Never Wrestle with a PIG
These models do not provide an exhaustive picture of the two cultures, but they do illustrate the fundamental differences between them. One question may arise regarding the Chinese model: Why should Confucian ideology and the past tradition, rather than other contemporary forces, be looked on as the working determinants for today's Chinese culture?An explanatory argument, not an answer to the question, could point to the following: 1) over the long history of the Chinese civilization, C

I started my company (EMJ) from the trunk of my car (and it was a small trunk so that’s a small business). I grew EMJ to $375,000,000 in sales prior to selling it to SYNNEX. I am now CEO of a $1 billion business. My successful CEO blog generates a lot of comments and questions. I want to share one of these thoughtful questions with you, and share my answer.The question:"First off I just want you to know all I'm asking for is advice, which is the most valuable thing I can get
Mark McCormack is the founder of the International Management Group (IMG) and was the guy who became Arnold Palmer’s agent in 1959. At the time, although enormously successful and popular, Palmer had only one endorsement deal - with Heinz for $500 a year (and as much ketchup as he wanted).
Mark and Arnie’s simple handshake agreement changed the world of sports forever. Stick with me, this is NOT about sports.
It wasn’t long before McCormack had signed two other rising stars Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus. McCormack didn’t limit himself to golf. In 1968, he signed his first tennis player, Australia’s Rod Laver as well as representing athletes from football, rugby, cricket, motor racing and a host of other sports.
McCormack’s company, International Management Group or IMG, became the biggest name in corporate sport and moved beyond sports, managing former Presidents and Prime Ministers, Pope John Paul II and even represented the Nobel Peace Prize.
There is more to the sports business than knowing how to swing a golf club or how tight to string a tennis racket. Mark McCormack began sharing his common sense approach to business in 1984, when he wrote "What They Don't Teach You at Harvard Business School" a book that spent twenty-one weeks at the top of the New York Times bestseller list.

About a year ago, I was going through a phase where I tried about a dozen online money making programs. I even went as low as envelope stuffing and surveys. I guess that you could say that I have matured since then, and when I decided to start searching for something again, I would research the product before I dove in head first.Its kind of funny really, how I found the profit lance course. I figured it would be easier to weed out the scams by actually searching for scams. I came acros

When you were working and someone asked you what did you had a ready answer. “I work at Acme Enterprises as a customer service manager.” It might not have been the most exciting introduction but it did provide you with an identity and a ready answer.Now that you are not working do you find your mouth full of cotton when you are networking? In business, social, and casual situations it is imperative that you provide the right kind of information when asked what you do. Instead of dreadin

An essential step in managing the performance of salespeople is that of establishing a sound and agreed contract between manager and the salesperson. A contract in this context is simply an agreement between the manager and the salesperson as to how best they are going to work together. It is a chance for each party to outline expectations, hopes and fears and is a superb opportunity for both the manager and salesperson to fully understand each other in terms of personality style, motivators a

These are not sports books but essential, down to earth, common sense, get-a-grip business advice books. Reading them is great, but listening to them on audio cassette, read by Mark himself is an even bigger treat. McCormack is one of the most plain-speaking and credible business teachers we have, and he comes across especially well in this relaxed studio recording.
Though Mark’s principles are powerful, he's a humble teacher for someone at his level. His delivery is so understated you will discover the value of his ideas naturally rather than having to work around an overzealous sales pitch. Listening to Mark’s unassuming voice, with no airs, is like having an understanding business partner in the seat next to you as you drive down the road.
Mark died in May of 2003 but his words and ideas will help generations to come. You can find his stuff in almost any library and many libraries have the audio books, too. A quick look at Half.com will find most of his audios in like new condition for a fraction of the cost.
Many times you will be given a choice of Mark’s audio books, abridged or unabridged. For years I didn’t much care one way or another until I listened to Stephen King on CD telling me why I should only choose unabridged. Sure it takes longer, but you get the drift of the author’s thoughts entirely, not just some of them chosen by an unseen editor. Chose unabridged and go the extra mile is possible.
