Strategic Leadership

This fantastic book reveals the keys to success within the military culture, as well as relevant and practical application tools for creating strong leaders today.' - Stephen R.

How NOT to buy property in Switzerland
This book is a guide in the minefield of Swiss real estate, narrated by a serial buyer who made plenty of mistakes so that you don't have to. ContentsHouse hunting in a tricky marketReal estate as an investmentPrice levels and market cyclesMortgage & tax optimisationThe risks and rewards of off-plan buyingChalets as second homesWhy you need to read this bookReal estate in Switzerland is a funny old market. It is illiquid, opaque, of dubious value for money and generally difficult to navigate. Yet, people from the world over are drawn to it like moths to the flame. It feels as if the more inaccessible and complex it becomes, there more prospective buyers are intoxicated by it. One reason for this, I believe, is that Swiss property is all things to all people. It has long been a safe haven investment thanks to the Swiss franc's legendary strength and low interest rates. However, it conveniently doubles up as a holiday destination as well as a secondary residence for long-term expatriates and economic refugees, or serves as a discreet address away from the public eye for politically exposed people. At the same time, Swiss property appeals to many an aspiring family seeking a practical and relaxed country to settle in, as well as an asset that is largely uncorrelated with the vagaries of global financial markets. Without a doubt, the Swiss property market follows its own rules, unperturbed by what happens in the rest of the world. The reason arguably lies in Switzerland's peculiar history. It is not the only country to have gone from abject poverty to considerable wealth within a matter of decades, but it stands out as having done so despite being entirely deprived of natural resources, energy and international clout, all while lacking access to maritime trade. It is hardly surprising that undergoing such a kind of rapid change in national fortunes would give rise to one or the other contradiction in the way things work, of which in the property sector there are plenty. However, time and again, when frugal habits of the rather recent past clash with the brashest and most plutocratic expectations of our time, it is fascinating to witness how it all tends to work out surprisingly well in the end. Looking back at my own real estate history in this country over the past fifteen years, including the opportunities that I seized, those that I missed, the lessons learnt, the insights gained, bullets dodged, victories clawed from the jaws of defeat, followed by defeats clawed from the jaws of victory and lessons unlearned have been so abundant that I felt compelled to put pen to paper and write a cautionary tale about it all. I had to write this book, if only because I couldn't stand the naivety of people who oddly expect everything to work like in their home country and inevitably get frustrated when that isn't the case. But there is more to it than that. This book stems from a deep-seated love-hate relationship with real estate that is seeking a productive outlet, at long last, in being turned to the service of readers. It was high time that some light was shed on this thorny subject. The local property market was literally crying out for it. And so was I.

How the Pandemic Changed Work in Japan
The COVID-19 pandemic swept the globe from 2019 had a major impact on the way people lived and worked. People refrained from going out and, inevitably, the way people worked underwent drastic changes. What kind of working environment enabled people to best adapt to the emergency?Did the pandemic impact urban and rural areas differently?How did the pandemic affect workers with children?This book adopts a thoroughly data-driven approach, relying primarily on data from the Japanese Panel Study of Employment Dynamics by the Recruit Works Institute. The JPSED has been tracking a sample of 50,000 people since 2016, and is thus one of largest of the very few surveys in Japan that has tracked the same individuals since before the pandemic.Eleven scholars and researchers examined the pandemic's impact on working styles and analyzed the data from various perspectives to identify changes in the labor market in Japan, including telework, work-childcare relations, and disparities in employment status, which makes the book a valuable historical testimony of a distinct turning point in Japan's work culture.

Wealth Warrior
This much-needed conversational guide to the stock market by a financial expert empowers you to heal money wounds, establish financial literacy, and make your money work for you. Financial educator Linda Garc穩a breaks down one of the most elusive yet effective financial systems in existence. A single mother at a young age, Linda struggled to survive. As bills and eviction notices flowed in, she felt stuck. After getting advice from a work friend, Linda took the leap and invested two hundred dollars. Soon, two hundred dollars a month grew to seven thousand dollars, then that became a high six-figure investment. Now she owns her home and is making more money than she'd ever imagined, and is ready to help other people of color access stock knowledge and achieve financial success. As a proud Latina, Garc穩a understands that building wealth can mean more than stepping into financial arenas historically kept from communities of color. It may first require getting to the root of our money wounds--the factors and experiences that limit our capacity to feel deserving of wealth and capable of building it. In this investing playbook, she guides you on how to establish a budget, create your "opportunity fund," and pay yourself first. She shows you how to analyze a company, choose the right stocks for you, and create a plan to multiply your money. You'll learn: What it means to invest, where your money goes, and how to read stock charts. How to assess companies, pick your first stock, and buy your first shares. Tactics to break free from a scarcity mindset and grow your stocks to create life-changing wealth. Complete with an accessible glossary of stock market terms, Wealth Warrior is a true primer on how to generate the wealth you deserve!
