The People Part

- Blurb -

In the spirit of The One Thing and Start with Why, this guide provides the "missing link" for entrepreneurs to generate fast, sustainable growth, get out of the weeds, and build their A-teams from the inside out. Annie Hyman Pratt' s family business, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, consisted of 7 domestic "mom and pop shops" when she took it over. In just 7 years' time she scaled it by more than 10x, turning it into an international brand of 70+ stores before leading the company through a highly successful sale. Two decades later, Annie Pratt is a top-tier business consultant whose client list of 50+ companies and entrepreneurs includes Hay House, Jeff Walker, Gabrielle Bernstein, Susan Peirce Thompson, Erico Rocha, and Christian Mickelsen. In this new book, she puts the strategy that' s transformed their businesses into your hands too. Most business books on shelves today focus on either the structure part (systems and processes) or the culture part (visions and values). What' s missing? The all-important "people part"-the often hidden, often misunderstood area of a business where team members and team leaders interact and have their greatest impact. And in a world where the rate of change is increasing exponentially, with burnout and overwhelm at epidemic levels, it' s more essential than ever to get this part right. As Annie reveals the power and promise of this missing link, you' ll discover-* The secret of self-leadership-the way you show up as an individual in your work and how to perform effectively in the face of pressure or stress. * The key to effective teamwork-the way team members interact, especially in times of challenge or change. * How these two abilities together create the conditions for a business to perform at its best-and for leaders to have the positive impact they desire. * A wealth of practical tools and techniques for creative thinking, decision making, problem solving, negotiating, and more.
