Laura Huang, a preeminent Harvard Business School professor, shows that success is about gaining an edge: that elusive quality that gives you an upper hand and attracts attention and support. Some people seem to naturally have it. Now, Huang teaches the rest of us how to create our own from the challenges and biases we think hold us back, and turning them to work in our favor.

How do you find a competitive edge when the obstacles feel insurmountable? How do you get people to take you seriously when they're predisposed not to, and perhaps have already written you off?

Laura Huang has come up against that problem many times--and so has anyone who's ever felt out of place or underestimated. Many of us sit back quietly, hoping that our hard work and effort will speak for itself. Or we try to force ourselves into the mold of who we think is "successful," stifling the creativity and charm that makes us unique and memorable. In Edge, Huang offers a different approach. She argues that success is rarely just about the quality of our ideas, credentials, and skills, or our effort. Instead, achieving success hinges on how well we shape others' perceptions--of our strengths, certainly, but also our flaws. It's about creating our own edge by confronting the factors that seem like shortcomings and turning them into assets that make others take notice.

Huang draws from her groundbreaking research on entrepreneurial intuition, persuasion, and implicit decision-making, to impart her profound findings and share stories of previously-overlooked Olympians, assistants-turned-executives, and flailing companies that made momentous turnarounds. Through her deeply-researched framework, Huang shows how we can turn weaknesses into strengths and create an edge in any situation. She explains how an entrepreneur scored a massive investment despite initially being disparaged for his foreign accent, and how a first-time political candidate overcame voters' doubts about his physical disabilities.

Edge shows that success is about knowing who you are and using that knowledge unapologetically and strategically. This book will teach you how to find your unique edge and keep it sharp.

For those who believe that there must be a more agile and efficient way for people to get things done, Scrum is a brilliantly discursive, thought-provoking book about the leadership and management process that is changing the way we live.

Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success by Adam M. Grant is a groundbreaking work that challenges conventional wisdom about success. Grant, a professor at Wharton Business School, introduces the concept of reciprocity styles—takers, matchers, and givers—and reveals how these styles impact our success.

In the workplace, givers, who contribute to others without expecting anything in return, can sometimes be exploited or burn out. However, Grant's research demonstrates that givers are often the most successful people in their fields. The book shows how a revolutionary approach to work, networking, and collaboration can lead to greater personal success and transform organizations and communities.

Through engaging stories and cutting-edge evidence, Grant illustrates the power of giving and how smart givers avoid becoming doormats. He also explores how successful networking, collaboration, influence, negotiation, and leadership skills are intertwined. Give and Take not only presents a new model for success but also provides insights into how to build more productive and rewarding relationships.

Redefining Success details how W. Brett Wilson was forced to redefine his life, making health and key relationships his first priorities. Through trial and error, he discovered that these simple virtues are foundations for real, enduring success, both in business and in life.

Wilson's compelling insights are the basis for Redefining Success. Not just for entrepreneurs and business people, the book outlines how we can change our lives for the better by re-evaluating our personal definitions of success, then reworking them into a life plan that is feasible, lasting, and rewarding. Inspirational and paradigm-changing, Redefining Success will help you implement and sustain lasting, positive change in your life—and make your world a little more meaningful—every day.

We live in an era of unprecedented innovation opportunities. Despite building more products than ever, the majority fail—not due to our inability to realize our visions, but because we squander time, resources, and effort crafting the wrong products. What's necessary is a methodical process to quickly evaluate product concepts and improve our chances of success. This is the core of Running Lean.

In this motivating read, Ash Maurya presents a detailed strategy for reaching 'product/market fit' with your nascent venture, drawing on his extensive experience developing a diverse range of products, from high-tech to no-tech. He incorporates insights and methodologies from several groundbreaking approaches, such as the Lean Startup, Customer Development, and bootstrapping.

Running Lean is the quintessential tool for business managers, CEOs, small business owners, developers, programmers, and anyone aspiring to launch a business project.

The Challenge Built to Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the verybeginning. But what about the company that is not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness? The Study For years, this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins. Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? And if so, what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great? The Standards Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years. How great? After the leap, the good-to-great companies generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market by an average of seven times in fifteen years, better than twice the results delivered by a composite index of the world's greatest companies, including Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric, and Merck. The Comparisons The research team contrasted the good-to-great companies with a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to make the leap from good to great. What was different? Why did one set of companies become truly great performers while the other set remained only good? Over five years, the team analyzed the histories of all twenty-eight companies in the study. After sifting through mountains of data and thousands of pages of interviews, Collins and his crew discovered the key determinants of greatness -- why some companies make the leap and others don't. The Findings The findings of the Good to Great study will surprise many readers and shed light on virtually every area of management strategy and practice. The findings include: Level 5 Leaders: The research team was shocked to discover the type of leadership required to achieve greatness. The Hedgehog Concept (Simplicity within the Three Circles): To go from good to great requires transcending the curse of competence. A Culture of Discipline: When you combine a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship, you get the magical alchemy of great results. Technology Accelerators: Good-to-great companies think differently about the role of technology. The Flywheel and the Doom Loop: Those who launch radical change programs and wrenching restructurings will almost certainly fail to make the leap. “Some of the key concepts discerned in the study,” comments Jim Collins, "fly in the face of our modern business culture and will, quite frankly, upset some people.” Perhaps, but who can afford to ignore these findings?

What do the superstars of modern business have in common? An ability to flip—to think counterintuitively and then act boldly, with no regard for "business as usual" conventions. Peter Sheahan, one of the youngest and fastest-rising stars on the international consulting and speaking circuit, reveals how the world's most effective organizations and individuals distinguish themselves from the competition instead of running with the pack.

Sheahan explores six major flips: Action Creates Clarity—to move forward you must act in spite of ambiguity. Fast, Good, Cheap: Pick Three, Then Add Something Extra—the new standard in every industry. To develop competitive advantage, you must Absolutely, Positively Sweat the Small Stuff. Satisfy customers' needs for engagement and contact—it's not "just business"—Business Is Personal. To win mass-market success, be courageous, Find It on the Fringe, and separate yourself from the competitive herd. To Get Control, Give It Up—empower others to create, dream, and believe for you.

Stick to what you learned in business school at your peril. Today's small-world economy calls for a new way of doing business. It calls for Flip.
