Can the way you run your business or treat your Customers have an effect on the world at large? John DiJulius will show you just that!

Employees first, customers second : turning conventional management upside down / by Nayar, Vineet.(CARDINAL)499236;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 187-188) and index.Mirror mirror: creating the need for change -- Trust through transparency: creating a culture of change -- Inverting the organizational pyramid: building a structure for change -- Recasting the role of the CEO: transferring the responsibility for change -- Find understanding: renewing the cycle of change.One small idea can ignite a revolution just as a single matchstick can start a fire. One such idea, putting employees first and customers second, sparked a revolution at HCL Technologies, the IT services giant. In this candid and personal account, Vineet Nayar, HCLT's celebrated CEO, recounts how he defied the conventional wisdom that companies must put customers first, then turned the hierarchical pyramid upside down by making management accountable to the employees, and not the other way around. By doing so, Nayar fired the imagination of both employees and customers and set HCLT on a journey of transformation that has made it one of the fastest-growing and profitable global IT services companies and, according to BusinessWeek, one of the twenty most influential companies in the world. Chapter by chapter, Nayar recounts the exciting journey of how he and his team implemented the employee first philosophy by: Creating a sense of urgency by enabling the employees to see the truth of the company's current state as well as feel the "romance" of its possible future state, Creating a culture of trust by pushing the envelope of transparency in communication and information sharing, Inverting the organizational hierarchy by making the management and the enabling functions accountable to the employee in the value zone, Unlocking the potential of the employees by fostering an entrepreneurial mind-set, decentralizing decision making, and transferring the ownership of "change" to the employee in the value zone. Refreshingly honest and practical, this book offers valuable insights for managers seeking to realize their aspirations to grow faster and become self-propelled engines of change.

Following Your Conscience: A Recipe for Peak Performance.In the turbulent, frenetic, dog-eat-dog environment of the past decade, many believed the only way to achieve success was to be unscrupulous. In the pursuit of short-term profits corporations let their assets deteriorate by mistreating employees, squeezing suppliers, exploiting strategic alliances, and abusing customers. What was forgotten in all this, however, was that such behavior significantly damaged their ability to perform long term. Managing with a Conscience spells out a better option for improving long-term success: restore traditional values and inject trust and integrity into all business practices and relationships. Today, competitive advantage belongs to companies that build trust, vigorously nurture it, and constantly reinforce it to meet tough business challenges. With its practical, values-driven approach, Managing with a Conscience is the blueprint for winning loyalty in the marketplace; building open, honest communication with employees; maintaining high standards of business conduct; and putting integrity back where it belongs, right beside the bottom line.
