Know Grow Exit is about living, learning, and leaving your company as an entrepreneur when your business is your identity. Cliff Oxford wrote Know Grow Exit: How Entrepreneurs Grow and Finish Fast to give entrepreneurs the full story of being a business owner, which includes the dark side, the sunny side, and the blueprinting phase of building a company from scratch to sell. Painting the picture in words, graphs, tools, and charts, Know Grow Exit has the educational glow of a shiny Harvard MBA and the growl of hard-knocks experience. While Oxford doesn't try to teach you everything about business, he does drill deep into the do-or-die hurdles you have to clear in all three phases of a business's growth, which includes hyper-growth, human and financial scaling, and-most importantly-how to stay out of no man's land between being a big operation and a small one. What Oxford writes on exiting your business has never been discussed, much less documented, especially in regard to how lawyers, accountants, and investment bankers can set entrepreneurs up to fail. Oxford also wisely shows entrepreneurs that wealth creation is tied directly to great health, charity, and a lasting legacy. This book, in its very essence, is a true story.

Health Care Reboot - Megatrends Energizing American Medicine - injects a much-needed dose of optimism into the national health care debate. The book makes a compelling case that a series of powerful trends are leading the nation's health care system toward greater quality, safety, access, and affordability. The trends include historic breakthroughs in treatments for heart disease and cancer; integration of behavioral health services into primary care; recognizing and acting upon the broad effect of social determinants of health; consumer empowerment focused on measures and outcomes that matter most to patients; paying for value rather than volume causing doctors and hospitals to shift to a newly aggressive proactive approach to caring for patients. Collectively, these trends are rebooting our health care system to better serve the needs of providers, payers, and, most importantly, patients.

¿Están en riesgo tus valores familiares? Muchas veces relacionamos la palabra "patrimonio" con el dinero, pero el patrimonio es mucho más que eso. Todos los aspectos más importantes de tu vida (tu familia, tu legado, tu comunidad, y todo lo que más valoras) contribuyen al patrimonio y la riqueza de tu vida. Juntos, conforman tu valor familiar. Sin embargo, si solo te encargas de gestionar tu capital familiar, pones en riesgo tu valor familiar. Este concepto clave es la base del enfoque de JR Gondeck y Vanessa Martinez, coautores y asesores patrimoniales. Arraigados en el pensamiento de que el patrimonio va mucho más allá del RSI (retorno sobre la inversión) de cada uno, JR y Vanessa trabajan con familias para asegurar que sus planes financieros reflejen y protejan su valor familiar. Su estrategia no solo es holística, sino que también es inclusiva. En su agencia, The Lerner Group, los asesores priorizan las opiniones y las necesidades de todos los miembros de la familia, incluso de las matriarcas, que suelen ser ignoradas por asesores más tradicionales. Por consiguiente, pueden ayudar a las familias a mantener su patrimonio general (y su valor) por varias generaciones. En Valores familiares en riesgo, comparten sus conocimientos fundamentales sobre los riesgos y beneficios de la planificación patrimonial. Desde los peligros de la asesoría tradicional hasta las conversaciones decisivas que se precisan para garantizar que tus intenciones se vean reflejadas en la planificación, este libro es una lectura obligada para todos los que estén preocupados por su futuro financiero.

Accountability Starts With You Are you a manager who struggles to get accountability right within your organization? Have you been faced with the need to hold someone accountable and either bulldozed your way through the encounter or talked yourself out of it with excuses like "I've already tried that," or "It's too risky"? If you've ever done a poor job of holding others accountable, this book can help you feel more comfortable with how you gain ownership from employees. Own Up! addresses the big myths, everyday hesitations, and all the other stories we tell ourselves about what it means and how much time and effort it takes to create a culture of responsibility. Author Jennifer Thero Long's central insight is that lack of clarity around ownership is responsible for all the drama that accountability conversations (done poorly) entail. It's the drama, and not actual accountability, that demands our extra attention, time, and energy. To combat misunderstandings and self-defeating assumptions, she guides readers through a series of practical and immediately implementable steps for achieving accountability in any situation. Own Up! shows how clarifying ownership¿of expectations on the one hand and duties on the other¿is the key activity by which accountability is established and maintained. Accountability done well takes very little time and energy, and its results include immediate gain in employee performance and execution, reduced work and workarounds, increased trust between individuals, and greater employee reliability.

MAKE A VOW TO GOOD HEALTH How much time each year do you spend interacting with a doctor? A vast majority of people spend less than 1 percent of their time in clinical interactions. While clinical care is certainly vital, it affects only 30 percent of our overall health status. So, why not do better acknowledging the drivers of the other 70 percent of total health and well-being where we spend 99 percent of our time? We deserve a healthcare system that systematically supports our daily living needs to complement clinical care. Not Just in Sickness ... But Also in Health details how we can create the next generation of benefit plans, including an intelligent ecosystem of personalized resources, capable of supporting how each person can achieve and sustain their optimal health.Drawing on his decades of experience, Margolis explains how existing healthcare industry players, technology companies, and government can enact a systematic consumer-centric approach to move the United States and the world from a system of sickcare to one of health optimization for all.
