Business is Complex

Coming Early 2024!

“The Two Types of People in This World” aims to gain insight into the way people view the world, allowing them to pull from their experiences to focus their stories around one specific rallying point. What came from the discussions were some unbelievably powerful perspectives. 

This book will take you on a journey, and light a fire in you. At the end you will come to your own conclusions on the topic, and I promise you that you will be opened up to new ideas on how you perceive the world and interact with it. You’ll be able to identify with some of the answers and see where you bounce between each example and flow between the two sides of each one.

We will travel from the boardroom to the air. From the battlefield to the ball field. Onto slopes, to the court, on some of the biggest waves ever ridden, and onto the gridiron. From trails to podiums to television sets to the ice rink up to the big screen and down to the minute details that make life magical, you’ll hear stories of unthinkable success, terrible tragedy, the brink of defeat, triumphs, second-chances, and starting over.

In Make the Noise Go Away, author Larry G. Linne discusses thirteen principles to help business owners reclaim their freedom. Written in parable style, Make the Noise Go Away follows business owner Jim Clancy and second-in-command Brett Giles at Golden Electric Supply. During a weekend retreat at a quiet mountain cabin, the two executives discuss the principles and strategies that make Jim’s noise-all the worries and concerns about his business-go away and allow Brett’s job to be more enjoyable and successful. They talk about important skills and concepts such as maintaining upward communication, setting priorities, practicing effective problem solving, and introducing new ideas. Targeted to both first- and second-in-commands, Make the Noise Go Away provides insights on decision-making skills, methods to protect and nurture great CEO ideas, and strategies for managing the perception of the business by important third parties. With concrete takeaways and tools for implementation, this guide helps clear the way for productivity and success for today’s business executives and their seconds-in-command.

Hands-on strategies for creating and protecting your personal brand (yes, you have one)

Think branding is just for large corporations, marketing directors, and cows? Think again. Each one of us has a brand – a personal brand, how others see us – which is shaped by what we do, say, write, and otherwise present ourselves to others.

We can’t fully control how others see us (smart, capable, compassionate, creative, fair). But many of us don’t even try. That is, we don’t take a moment to think about how we WANT to be perceived, and then take a few simple steps to bolster that impression with purposeful action.

This isn’t a book about manipulating others, putting on airs, or saying things you don’t really mean. It IS about using our words and actions mindfully, whether they take place in a conference room, PTA meeting, dinner party, Facebook comment thread, or anywhere else.

Using clear examples from businesses, families, and more, this straightforward guide presents essential advice for anyone who wants to succeed in today’s competitive and interconnected world.
