Synopsis Standing Out From the Crowd: Differentiating Yourself and All You Offer In A Competitive World by : Don Hutson

Nobody can be you! Whether you are a sales representative for a manufacturer, an internet marketer, or a retail entrepreneur, your industry or specialized space does not need another "Me Too" performer. Whatever you do, try to be the best in your business! This book is structured to provide a separate track to run on that will distinguish you from others in today's crowded marketplace. The Latin term, "Sui Generis", means 'one of a kind'. That's what you need to be in your business - a one-off, innovative problem solver, who has developed a reputation for being exceptional. Can you become so good that you can make your competition irrelevant? I think you can and I want to help. Nobody can be you! Nobody else on the planet is just like you. We all need to recognize the power of individuality and leverage the skills we have amassed to be exceptional. For some, individuality is the most outstanding asset possessed. We should develop uniqueness in every manner to be able to impress people with our attention to detail, relevance, and the means by which we tailor and deliver solutions. If we can do those things well, we are destined to gain market share and amass wealth in the process. This book is divided into five parts to give a broad perspective on how you can be perceived as different from-- and superior to, --your competition. Your image of yourself, your product, or your company is not a constant; it is an ever-changing variable. Over time we need to make as many positive deposits in our "Reputation Bank" as possible, by delivering exceptional products, differentiated offerings, or "knock-their-socks off" service! This 5-part, 34-chapter book is based on many years of personal research. In an effort to make it more rewarding, I have added references to videos that will help reinforce the points I am making. As you read, you will notice links to these short video clips. Take time to review them and gain additional ideas on the implementation of skills discussed. In Standing Out From The Crowd, do not assume I want you to feel so special that you counterproductively create a huge ego for yourself. My old friend, Zig Ziglar, was right when he advised, "Don't contract the disease of Egomania - it makes everybody sick except the one who has got it!" Let's be adaptable to the needs of those we serve, and display humility in the process, and we will earn the right to be referred to by our clients as a "Trusted Advisor". You will gain many ideas from this book. Carefully consider them and decide which to adopt as core competencies on your way to great success. I sincerely hope this book helps you significantly in crafting your path to becoming the unsurpassed, one of a kind, extraordinary producer who does indeed stand out from the crowd.

Synopsis Faces in the Crowd by : Valeria Luiselli

Electric Literature 25 Best Novels of 2014 Largehearted Boy Favorite Novels of 2014 "An extraordinary new literary talent."--The Daily Telegraph "In part a portrait of the artist as a young woman, this deceptively modest-seeming, astonishingly inventive novel creates an extraordinary intimacy, a sensibility so alive it quietly takes over all your senses, quivering through your nerve endings, opening your eyes and heart. Youth, from unruly student years to early motherhood and a loving marriage--and then, in the book's second half, wilder and something else altogether, the fearless, half-mad imagination of youth, I might as well call it—has rarely been so freshly, charmingly, and unforgettably portrayed. Valeria Luiselli is a masterful, entirely original writer."--Francisco Goldman In Mexico City, a young mother is writing a novel of her days as a translator living in New York. In Harlem, a translator is desperate to publish the works of Gilberto Owen, an obscure Mexican poet. And in Philadelphia, Gilberto Owen recalls his friendship with Lorca, and the young woman he saw in the windows of passing trains. Valeria Luiselli's debut signals the arrival of a major international writer and an unexpected and necessary voice in contemporary fiction. "Luiselli's haunting debut novel, about a young mother living in Mexico City who writes a novel looking back on her time spent working as a translator of obscure works at a small independent press in Harlem, erodes the concrete borders of everyday life with a beautiful, melancholy contemplation of disappearance. . . . Luiselli plays with the idea of time and identity with grace and intuition." —Publishers Weekly

Synopsis How to Behave in a Crowd by : Camille Bordas

A witty, heartfelt novel that brilliantly evokes the confusions of adolescence and marks the arrival of an extraordinary young talent. Isidore Mazal is eleven years old, the youngest of six siblings living in a small French town. He doesn't quite fit in. Berenice, Aurore, and Leonard are on track to have doctorates by age twenty-four. Jeremie performs with a symphony, and Simone, older than Isidore by eighteen months, expects a great career as a novelist—she's already put Isidore to work on her biography. The only time they leave their rooms is to gather on the old, stained couch and dissect prime-time television dramas in light of Aristotle's Poetics. Isidore has never skipped a grade or written a dissertation. But he notices things the others don't, and asks questions they fear to ask. So when tragedy strikes the Mazal family, Isidore is the only one to recognize how everyone is struggling with their grief, and perhaps the only one who can help them—if he doesn't run away from home first. Isidore’s unstinting empathy, combined with his simmering anger, makes for a complex character study, in which the elegiac and comedic build toward a heartbreaking conclusion. With How to Behave in a Crowd, Camille Bordas immerses readers in the interior life of a boy puzzled by adulthood and beginning to realize that the adults around him are just as lost.

Synopsis Unleashing the Crowd by : Ann Majchrzak

This book disrupts the way practitioners and academic scholars think about crowds, crowdsourcing, innovation, and new organizational forms in this emerging period of ubiquitous access to the internet. The authors argue that the current approach to crowdsourcing unnecessarily limits the crowd to offering ideas, locking out those of us with knowledge about a problem. They use data from 25 case studies of flash crowds — anonymous strangers answering online announcements to participate in a 7-10 day innovation challenge — half of whom were unleashed from the limitations of focusing on ideas. Yet, these crowds were able to develop new business models, new product lines, and offer useful solutions to global problems in fields as diverse as health care insurance, software development, and societal change. This book, which offers a theory of collective production of innovative solutions explaining the practices that the crowds organically followed, will revolutionize current assumptions about how innovation and crowdsourcing should be managed for commercial as well as societal purposes.
