red helicopter-a parable for our times
Autor James Rheeen Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 apr 2024
In kindergarten, James Rhee received a toy red helicopter in gratitude for a simple act of kindness?the innocent generosity of sharing his lunch. Nearly four decades later, the true meaning and lesson from this memory helped him overcome indescribable hurdles as both a first time CEO and son to a dying father. Combining the radical common sense of a child with the knowledge of an experienced private equity investor and law school graduate, James led one of the most dramatic reinventions in business history. Partnering with Black women across America, James led Ashley Stewart, a twice-bankrupt retailer with no WiFi, from the jaws of liquidation to a transcendent success that inspired a world seeking a different way. And, in the process, he was able to reconcile his own complicated past and see his mom for who she truly was.
Combining the clarity and imagination we had as children with some basic business metrics, Rhee composed a system he calls ?Kindness and Math.? It's a simple solution to the dissatisfaction and worry so many of us feel, an intuitive response to the gnawing uncertainty we face daily as we meander through our lives and struggle to understand why we might feel so out of control in our professional and personal lives. red helicopter, exposes the root cause for these feelings and encourages us to embrace a few key principles to reorient our lives, organizations, and the world to reflect the best in us. In this remarkable book, Rhee provides the tools we can use to:
- Embrace agency by identifying the obstacles quietly holding us back
- Construct a balance sheet of our true assets and liabilities
- Create and measure ?goodwill,? the ultimate collective good
- Lead systems transformation with a framework comprised of small, scalable acts
- Drive financial profitability with little to no investment of money
- Unlock the value of difference and the unpredictable
- and more
