Americans enjoy the finest healthcare delivery system in the world, but most people will tell you that we still have a long way to go. Far too frequently, patients leave the doctor's office or hospital feeling confused, angry, or neglected. Healthcare leaders recognize this problem, but in their focus on patients (and sometimes financials), they often overlook the true key to lasting patient loyalty and satisfaction: their employees.

Patients Come Second shakes up the traditional healthcare model, arguing that in order to care for and retain patients, leaders must first create exceptional teams and find ways to engage nurses, administrative staff, physicians, supervisors, and even housekeeping staff and switchboard operators. By connecting employees' work with a higher purpose and equipping them with the tools to become leaders themselves, patient care can be dramatically transformed. And with continuing healthcare changes on the horizon and ever-rising pressure to acquire and keep patients, doing so now is more important than ever.

Britt Berrett, president of an 898-bed hospital, and Paul Spiegelman, founder and CEO of a successful patient-experience company, are the perfect guides to the changes needed in healthcare leadership. With a rich combined experience in their field, they have filled each chapter with an abundance of engaging, insightful stories and write with a humor and friendliness that balances and enhances the urgency of their message.

Freedom.

It's the ability to do whatever you want, whenever you want. It's the ultimate reward of selling your business. But selling a company can be confusing, and one wrong step can easily cost you dearly.

The Art of Selling Your Business: Winning Strategies & Secret Hacks for Exiting on Top is the last in a trilogy of books by author John Warrillow on building value. The first, Built to Sell, encouraged small business owners to begin thinking about their business as more than just a job. The Automatic Customer tagged recurring revenue as the core element in a valuable company and provided a blueprint for transforming almost any business into one with an ongoing annuity stream.

Warrillow completes the set with The Art of Selling Your Business. This essential guide to monetizing a business is based on interviews the author conducted on his podcast, Built to Sell Radio, with hundreds of successfully cashed-out founders.

What's the secret for harvesting the value you've created when it's time to sell? The Art of Selling Your Business answers important questions facing any founder, including--

- What's your business worth?

- When's the best time to sell?

- How do you create a bidding war?

- How can you position your company to maximize its attractiveness?

- Who will pay the most for your business?

- What's the secret for punching above your weight in a negotiation to sell your company?

The Art of Selling Your Business provides a sleeves-rolled-up action plan for selling your business at a premium by an author with consummate credibility.

Dios conoce nuestras limitaciones, por eso ha enviado Su Santo Espíritu a vivir en nuestros corazones. Sabe de todas nuestras batallas, por eso ha puesto dentro de nosotros al mismo que resucitó a Jesús de los muertos, para que podamos ganarlas. Sin la ayuda del Espíritu, habrá situaciones que no seremos capaces de enfrentar, retos y desafíos que no podremos superar y un nivel de efectividad que no llegaremos a revelar. Pero teniendo una amistad íntima y profunda con el Espíritu Santo, somos impartidos de un nivel de fuerza, poder, gracia y sabiduría que de ningún otro modo pudiésemos llegar a obtener, porque el único modo de recibirlo es con la ayuda y el respaldo que solo el Espíritu Santo, puede otorgarnos.

Creating success, and avoiding failure, for small and medium-sized businesses has proven--over a sustained period--to be the direct result of the decisions and actions made by their leaders about the internal structures of these businesses. By focusing on building a strong core, business founders, owners, and executives have the power to ensure success, rather than falling prey to failure.

The Structure of Success provides a simple framework--consisting of approaches, methodologies, and tools for assessing, determining, planning, and implementing decisions--for building the internal structural components of a business, and, specifically, focusing on the eight most important categories that have been shown to impact success and failure for small and medium-sized businesses:

- Governance models and governance team composition
- Management team models, composition, engagement, and compensation
- Adjustments and pivots
- Growth and infrastructure development
- Business disputes and breakups
- Acquisitions, mergers, exits, and other business transactions
- Disaster preparedness and management
- Succession planning

When leaders of small and medium-sized businesses address these categories and revisit these topics regularly, they will produce the core structural components that will help them to meet their business goals, manage the risks and threats that arise, and position themselves--and their businesses--for success.

Too many entrepreneurs push off planning for the sale of their business until the last moment. But for a business to sell for what it's really worth--or even more--owners need to prepare for the sale from the very start.

In Exit Rich, author and mergers and acquisitions authority Michelle Seiler Tucker joins forces with Sharon Lechter, finance expert and author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, to create a must-have guide for all business owners--whether they're gearing up to sell a business now or just getting started building out their company into something to sell for a profit in the future.

Seiler Tucker's twofold approach to selling your business for maximum profit combines two of the most powerful elements of her mergers and acquisitions toolkit: the ST GPS Exit Model to help business owners set goals for the sale before their business hit the market, and the 6 P Method to help them objectively evaluate their business's worth, before their potential buyers do. Combined, these tools provide invaluable insight into the process of preparing a business for sale, finding the right buyers, and staging the sale itself.

Throughout the book, Sharon Lechter's wisdom peppers each chapter in the Mentoring Corner section, providing forward-thinking entrepreneurs with the perspective that they need to take control of their business's future and exit rich.

This book is a rich resource for any business owner looking to:

- Objectively evaluate their business before a sale

- Improve their chances of finding the right buyer

- Sell their business for maximum profit

Honesty in thought leadership matters. And so does seeing the light.

Honesty, in its purest form, is a key characteristic of all thought leaders, so I'm going to hit you with the truth. Many business books today are written for the purpose of winning more business for an author, or acquiring new speaking gigs, and anyone who fits into that camp is A-OK with me. It's a smart move. But after more than four decades in sales and marketing, I'm beyond those goals. Frankly, it feels great that I'm not anchored to those intentions anymore. I have only one intent in The Second-Best Business Book Ever Written, and that's to teach the ins and outs of thought leadership to as many people as possible because that's how corporations, and the individuals who run them, succeed.

There's a process to becoming a thought leader; it's methodical, detailed, and rewarding. After all, where's the amusement in being a price-chopper? Or even a technology leader where the tenure is as short as my nephew's attention span? The greatest thought leaders started sharing their thinking 2,500 years ago through the teachings of my four favorites: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Aspasia.

I'm going to travel with you down the thought leadership road, known as the Via Egnatia, from the foothills that rise above Athens to the skyscrapers that tower above Madison Avenue. And along the way, I'm going to show you how I did it for Fortune 500 companies, and for small and midsize businesses, with a few wild detours along the way.

By all accounts, the Green Bay Packers future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers was born with a rock-solid throwing arm and an annoying chip on his shoulder. I'm no Rodgers fan; after all, I was born and raised in inner-city Chicago and have been a Bears fan since birth, but I recognize greatness, and Aaron Rodgers is a great football player. Some of his other qualities? Not so much.

But these aren't lessons about tackle football. They're insights about leadership; about what happens off the football field, and on a more important playing field; about greatness in sales, marketing, and business; and about thought leadership, the single most important differentiator in the business playbook.

Or, as Plato not so recently said, obviously unaware of Aaron Rodgers's famous retreat into darkness, We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.

I'd like to shed some light on what's required in business, but frequently misunderstood. What every salesperson needs to know, but doesn't always know how to achieve it. And what every marketing expert wishes they had in their bag of tricks. To simply say that thought leadership is an essential part of the disciplines of market leaders is like saying a stick is an essential part of a Popsicle. Well, it is, assuming you're not interested in taste, color, packaging, name, price, quality, and the beat goes on.

Tom Marks survived forty-seven years in the advertising business and has lived to write about it. He's the founder of TMA+Peritus, one of the leading marketing, thought leadership, and corporate ethics firms in North America and has won more than sixty-five American Advertising Awards for his writing. He spent many years on the professional speakers circuit and survived that, too. His thought leadership workshops for Fortune 500 companies have brought him national acclaim and has made him a favorite among the nation's CEOs.

Skip the Agency, Go to Market!

Advertising production is a trillion-dollar industry ripe for disruption, says Jon Sneider, the founder and president of Wild Gravity, a multi-award-winning creative production agency in Seattle, WA. Hacking Advertising, Sneider's authoritative debut work, comes as a result of his firsthand experience (as the client for some of the country's largest brands) of the mind-blowing inefficiencies of the advertising-production complex.

While managing agencies for L.L.Bean, Windows, and Redfin, Sneider developed a vision that would allow him to make world-class adswithout the staggering costs, timelines, and complexities of traditional agencies. That compelling vision became a reality when Sneider launched his creative production shop that quickly ended up displacing agencies hundreds of times its size at billion-dollar brands.

In Hacking Advertising, Sneider shares the secrets behind producing cinema-quality advertising with small teams of seasoned pros for giants like Amazon, Microsoft, Hasbro, Nintendo, Coca-Cola, LEGO, Zeiss, the NBA, and more. He presents a blueprint for brands to bypass the old agency model with a direct-to-production approach. Readers will learn how to save millions by sidestepping conventional shops and production models.

Leaving no one in the cold, Sneider reveals how advertising agencies and production shops can evolve to become creative production agencies and unlock millions of dollars in revenue and profits.

Sneider not only gives valuable insights into making advertising faster, less expensive . . . and better--he also delivers a thoroughly entertaining and engaging read with real stories from his multi-decade career working with the largest brands and most prominent agencies.

Jon holds an MBA. in Entrepreneurship from Babson College and has over 25 years of experience in the advertising and marketing industry from both agency-side and client-side.

A Secret Playbook for Transforming Stuck Startups

It's common knowledge that nine out of ten startups fail. Even venture capital firms make most of their returns on one out of ten investments. Naturally, founders try to replicate the success of those winners by raising too much, scaling too quickly, and destroying themselves in pursuit of the media-celebrated unicorn status. For those that aren't in that rarified 10% of hyper-growth companies, there is another path.

In Reignition: Transforming Stuck Startups into Breakout Winners, entrepreneur and investor Dave Hersh skillfully outlines how to transform a stuck startup into a lean, disciplined, focused organization with the time, space, and market position to find a breakout move.

Readers will learn how to shed unnecessary weight, adapt their leadership style, find their best in the world offering, optimize culture, and patiently navigate towards success on a larger scale.

This thoughtful, practical, and unique book has a clear message for many audiences--

- Startups and growth companies with from $1M to $100M in revenue that have tasted success but now must transform to survive
