Green Mountain Coffee founder Bob Stiller delivers the timeless leadership approach he pioneered in the 1990s to help you increase engagement, retention, and revenueDecades before the business world discovered the power of authentic staff engagement, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters cofounder Bob Stiller was busy creating a company with a mission to build an engaged workforce focused on innovation. In the end, Green Mountain became a place where people realized they could make a difference, where their input mattered, where they were rewarded fairly, and where they can gro. It became a place workers feel good about. A community. A happy place that got better and better. And business results followed. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters went public, moved to selling wholesale exclusively, invested in Keurig, and became one of the few coffee companies to ever reach $1 billion in sales. It became one of the top-performing stocks of the 1990s on the Nasdaq exchange, and from 1995 to 2015, its stock had a 70 percent compounded annual rate of growth. In Better and Better, Stiller explains how he did it, from donating five percent pretax net income to environmental and social causes, with employees collectively deciding how donations would be used; to paying employees to volunteer in their own communities; to providing much-needed loans to small farms. With Better and Better, you'll learn how to use optimism, self-awareness, and kindness to build an inclusive and cherished workplace culture.

A full-color, image-packed guide to developing highly persuasive content that attracts more customers than ever-all based on the latest brain scienceThere's an overlooked but critical scientific fact that every marketing profession needs to know: Many decisions start with attention, and it's your job to grab the attention of every prospective customer as effectively as possible. But in this increasingly fast-paced, busy, and noisy world, how do you capture people's attention, much less persuade them? To answer this question, cognitive neuroscientist Carmen Simon leverages insights gleaned from her use of advanced technologies to study where people look, for how long, what type of attention leads to memories, and what keeps the brain coming back for more, to determine the effectiveness of sales pitches, marketing materials, corporate presentations, training videos, and other business content.In Made You Look, Simon presents her four-part framework for effectively attracting the attention of customers and impacting their buying decision: . Automatic triggers: capture audience attention with the physical properties of an external stimulus. Guided action: guide your audience toward their internal thoughts and prompt them to focus on something rewarding . Introspection: orient their attention internally toward something they consider rewarding . Visual search: direct their attention externally toward what they consider rewardingEach section of Made You Look provides detailed guidelines you can use in your communication materials immediately. Attract attention and, as a result, influence memory and decisions with Made You Look, and lead your company to the top of your industry.

An indispensable guide to reducing the suffering¿of patients and caregivers alike¿and to improving healthcare delivery for allIn our efforts to treat patients, cure illness, and manage institutions, healthcare professionals too often overlook the fundamental purpose everyone in the industry shares: to alleviate suffering.Press Ganey's Chief Nursing Officer, Christina Dempsey, has worked everywhere in healthcare, from the ward floor to the hospital boardroom. She has also experienced the system as a patient and as a family member of a critically ill patient. In The Antidote to Suffering, this 30-year healthcare veteran and patient-experience thought leader argues that the key to improving healthcare is to reduce the suffering-physical, psychological, and emotional-of patients and caregivers alike through Compassionate Connected CareTM. Drawing on her 360-degree perspective, Dempsey offers a comprehensive, detailed, evidence-based plan that addresses the clinical, operational, cultural, and behavioral dimensions of care that every patient and caregiver experiences, in every setting. When suffering decreases, Dempsey argues, outcomes improve for patients and those who care for them. A virtuous cycle takes hold, leading to increases in morale, loyalty, and productivity and results in a culture that drives quality, safety, and value. It paves the path for creating a new national healthcare culture-one that values compassion, fosters efficiency, and drives innovationThe Antidote to Suffering is the first book to explore the pervasiveness of suffering in our healthcare system, and to provide the strategies and tools to: * Identify and measure suffering throughout your organization* Create a system in which every clinical response is informed by compassion* Operationalize staff behavior to promote meaning and purpose * Increase productivity by building a culture of collaborationReducing human suffering isn't just a moral imperative for healthcare providers. It's a practical way to improve organizations and fix our broken system-without sacrificing the respect, dignity, and compassion we all deserve.
