Opis

This book asks the question - what makes someone succeed in business while others might fail? In Business Saints and Sinners Decoded, author, design engineer, managing director, consultant, mentor and investor Martin Mankowski explores the ten commandments and seven deadly sins of business that can improve or destroy anyone's business standing. Designed to make the business world more interesting and boost confidence so that anyone can be a key player, Business Saints and Sinners Decoded offers a system that creates innovation and confidence. Rather than looking at how business operates from an ivory tower perspective, Mankowski uses a hands-on approach, relying on the three million miles and sixty countries he's worked in to give readers the personal anecdotes and techniques they need to do business in a fresh, innovative manner. Mankowski began to notice that business people fell into two classes, those who could generate lasting value like Bill Gates, and those who could destroy established wealth like Bernie Madoff, and he set out to code the associated sets of behaviors and activities. It became clear that traditional education methods did not guarantee success. Even high school dropouts were sometimes better prepared to become world class entrepreneurs than those who excelled in leading academic institutions. Warm and conversational, Business Saints and Sinners Decoded offers insights on every page. Be a saint and develop your brand, pursue the big picture, set plus achieve demanding targets, and live the right paradigm, Mankowski advises. Sinners live exclusively by someone else's rulebook, fraternize with losers, lose self-confidence, and admit defeat. When you know the code, you can make an informed choice to becoming a better business person, and a better human being, and this timely guide can help you shine with the saints.
