It’s time to grab your baton and lead your organization by implementing effective leadership strategies. William Stieber, PhD, an internationally recognized leadership development trainer, educator, professor, and business consultant, shares a blueprint that will help you drive meaningful change at your organization. But progress can only begin after you answer questions such as: • How are you benchmarking external forces? • How would you characterize your distinct sound to your customers? • What changes in the organization need to be made to ensure alignment? • Are there improvement opportunities in your processes that merit review and change? Asking questions like these are a key first step in applying tips to preserve harmony and ensure your department or organization is operating with a similar focus and maintaining a rhythm to sustain profits, customer satisfaction, and employee retention. Stieber also shares guidance on retaining best-in-class employees, assessing organizational vulnerabilities, and establishing a workplace culture where learning and teamwork is valued. As a musician, it can be tough to play high notes while staying in tune, and organizations face the same challenge—especially after achieving some initial success. Get the insights and strategic guidance you need to succeed in an increasingly competitive environment with The Final Score.

The Beijing Olympics will be remembered as the largest, most expensive, and most widely watched event of the modern Olympic era. But did China present itself as a responsible host and an emergent international power, much like Japan during the 1964 Tokyo Games and South Korea during the 1988 Seoul Games? Or was Beijing in 2008 more like Berlin in 1936, when Germany took advantage of the global spotlight to promote its political ideology at home and abroad?Beyond the Final Score takes an original look at the 2008 Beijing games within the context of the politics of sport in Asia. Asian athletics are bound up with notions of national identity and nationalism, refracting political intent and the processes of globalization. For China, the Beijing Games introduced a liberalizing ethos that its authoritative regime could ignore only at its peril. Victor D. Cha-former director of Asian affairs for the White House-evaluates Beijing's contention with this pressure, considering the intense scrutiny China already faced on issues of counterproliferation, global warming, and free trade.
