...The E-Myth Revisited – Michael E. Gerber Book Summary Summary Introduction This document summarizes The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber. The intent is to distill the major concepts from the book in note form for efficient perusal. Because only the main points of the book have been summarized here, reading the book in its entirety is highly recommended to get the full impact of the message Gerber conveys, as well as the dialogue in the book with one of his clients, Sarah, which provides additional insight on the concepts presented in the book. The ideas and text presented here are copyrighted works by Michael E. Gerber. Some of the text has been summarized for clarity and brevity. The E-Myth Revisited People who are exceptionally good in business aren’t so because of what they know but because of their insatiable need to know more. Businesses fail when their owners spend their time and energy defending what they think they know. A business doesn’t miss the mark by failing to achieve greatness in some lofty, principled way, but in the stuff that goes on in the multitude of seemingly insignificant, unimportant, and boring things that make up every business (and life as well). The greatest business people have a genuine fascination for the truly astonishing impact little things done exactly right can have on the world. The book is about four profound ideas that can mean the difference between the success and failure of a small business: 1. There is a myth...

... 11 (3 parts) Part 1, November 2003 • Order # 25-26 FILE: STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT ® Creating and Sustaining Successful Growth THE INNOVATOR’S SOLUTION THE SUMMARY IN BRIEF Roughly one company in every ten is able to sustain the kind of growth that translates into an above-average increase in shareholder returns over more than a few years. Once a company’s core business has matured, the pursuit of new platforms for growth entails daunting risk — to put it simply, most companies just don’t know how to grow, and pursuing growth the wrong way can be worse than no growth at all. In The Innovator’s Dilemma, Clayton Christensen showed how companies that focus on high-end products for profitable customers can be blindsided by “disruptive” innovations from new competitors — innovations that target low-end customers seeking cheaper products. In The Innovator’s Solution, Christensen and co-author Michael Raynor show established companies how to create disruptions rather than being destroyed by them — how to turn innovative ideas into new disruptive products that will lead to long-term profitable growth. By Clayton M. Christensen and Michael E. Raynor CONTENTS How Can We Beat Our Most Powerful Competitors? Pages 2, 3 What Products Will Customers Want To Buy? Pages 3, 4 What You’ll Learn In This Summary ✓ How you can beat your most powerful competitors. It all starts with disruption — if you learn the elements of disruption and practice its theories, no competitor...

...25056145 BIBL 104 April 23, 2012 Summary of the books of the Old Testament Books Judges The book of Judges is a historical narrative. This book is about God’s faithfulness with Israel’s apostasy. Judges was written to show us the consequences of disobedience to God and the necessity of summoning a righteous king who would lead the people to God. Judges reveal that the people of Israel started their disobedience against God even in the time of Joshua. Israel’s disobedience had grown more serious and more debased over time. God had provided deliverers or judges time and time again so because His people kept falling away from Him. God had delivered Israel from oppression because of His promise to Abraham and his descendants. In the book of Judges it tells us that Israel establishes the cyclical pattern of sin, slavery, and salvation that would dominate the time of the judges. Judges also tells us that with each new outbreak of disobedience and idolatry it took Israel further away from God and deeper into sin and misery. At the end of Judges it tells us that Israel had violated its covenant with God in almost every imaginable way. Leviticus The book of Leviticus is a law genre. The purpose of Leviticus was to the Israelites how they could live in ritual and moral purity. When the Israelites maintained their purity, God could live among them and they could approach Him in worship. Every detailed regulation that is recorded in the book of Leviticus is a revelation from God...

...Thomas More was born in London in 1478, and after many events in his life, he published a book called Utopia in 1516. Utopia describes a perfect place that does not exist. Many interpret Utopia as a standard for an ideal society that would be most desirable to achieve. Lois Lowry is the author of The Giver, a book that can be argued as providing the community as a “Utopia”. Thomas More’s book sets the standard of a Utopia, but many argue that The Giver fits these descriptions. I believe that the community in The Giver is not a true Utopia. The community in The Giver is not a true Utopia, because it has a different geography than what Thomas More’s description described. According to Thomas More’s features of a Utopia, it is an island (pg. 1 Summary of Ideas). In The Giver, Jonas often talks about “land beyond the community”. On page 106 of The Giver online, Jonas mentions that the land beyond the bridge is the same, flat and well ordered land as the community’s, therefore proving that the community can’t be an island. As a rule, a community that isn’t an island could have problems with its borders, so it is not considered a true Utopia....

...Summary vs Executive Summary Summary and Executive summary are two terms that are used quite often in education and business areas differently. A summary is a short or a brief account, sometimes elaborate too of the various events of a play. An executive summary on the other hand is a term used in business for a short document that summarizes a longer report, especially a business report. An executive summary is normally a condensed version of the full business document. Hence it needs skill on the part of the writer to execute an executive summary. On the other hand a summary should give salient features of any given aspect of a novel, or a short story or a play. This is the difference between a summary and an executive summary. You can write a summary of any particular episode of a novel or any other fiction written by Jane Austen. The particular summary should contain the various events of the episode in a nutshell or briefly. On the other hand an executive summary should be written in non-technical language. This is the main difference between the two. An executive summary should necessarily have a conclusion. On the other hand a conclusion is not necessary while writing a summary of a play or any scene of a play. An executive summary should ultimately make a business recommendation. No such intention is included in the writing of a summary. An executive summary should contain short and concise paragraphs. On the other hand a summary need not have short and concise paragraphs...

...“An expression commonly used in Japanese companies is, Total Quality begins with education and ends with education. Any organization hoping for long-term success must adhere to this philosophy, educating and re-educating everyone from the corporate officers and top executives down to hourly employees. These efforts will reap rewards when every employee- alone or with others- is busy studying and improving some part of the organization” (Scholtes, P.R. 1988). In summary, as a healthcare quality professional, if you want to improve the way you lead, it is important to understand the concepts and ideas behind great leadership and push yourself to improve your own leadership abilities. One way to do this is by learning about the theories and ideas behind great leadership. By empowering yourself first through knowledge, then through role modeling, it will help you empower others so that the organizational goals can be met. Leaders develop the structure of their practice and interpret their role to others. A leader should initiate actions of many different kinds including planning and organizing work, guiding and evaluating others, calling meetings, mobilizing support systems, risk taking, and confrontation. The leader should use the basic skills of problem solving, critical thinking, and communication to carry out performance improvement effectively. Teamwork and group development are very important in performance improvement. Tuckman and Jensen identified five stages of...

Your cost to the employer includes your salary. These costs, and more will have to be recovered by the employer. If the potential employer is a government or non-profit organization, they may also look for evidence that you will likely increase or improve their constituent services. Thus, your resume will have to spell out, clear evidence that shows the potential employer “what’s in it for them.
