Publisher's summary
Are you an authentic people-person who loves to sell with integrity? Then, you are a stylistic salesperson. These salespeople, referred to in William D. Hatch’s latest book as horses and lions, will take sales from average to great when they are given the freedom and support they need to really sell.
Whether you are a salesperson, a sales manager, or are responsible for new hires, being able to recognize and cultivate these top sellers can boost your career and grow your business in unimaginable ways. They can also be tough to manage, protective of their selling style, and somewhat mysterious. But they can sell!
Through the life of the author, you will learn what a stylistic salesperson is, why they are important to you and your team, and how to work effectively with them, even the toughest cases - the lions. Like most things, learning how to manage stylistic salespeople is on-the-job training. Each one is like a book with something unique on each page. Don’t rush. Listen to the stories they tell. Watch, learn, and have fun!
Ride the Horses, Feed the Lions is a book for those who want to be, hire, or manage stylistic salespeople. Get to know them personally; they’re the thoroughbreds of your sales team. Don’t rein them in right out of the gate. Let them set their own pace. Be on their team so that they’re on yours.

Sales is a skill anyone can learn and master - and introverts are especially good at it once they learn how to leverage their natural strengths. Introverts aren't comfortable with traditional tactics like aggressively pushing a product or talking over a customer's objections. That's the beauty of The Introvert's Edge: it doesn't focus on the sale itself but on a sales system that helps introverts feel sincere instead of sales-y.

David Novak learned long ago that you can't lead a great organization of any size without getting your people aligned, enthusiastic, and focused relentlessly on the mission. But how do you do that? There are countless leadership books, but how many will actually help a Taco Bell shift manager, a Fortune 500 CEO, a new entrepreneur, or anyone in between? Over his 15 years at Yum! Brands, Novak has developed a trademarked program he calls Taking People with You.

For young professionals and entrepreneurs, there is no shortage of gurus, processes, and quick-fix formulas to chase in the quest to grow their business, lead their team, and find personal fulfillment. In fact, there are so many out there that it's exhausting. Wouldn't it be better to realize that the leadership lessons we need to learn are not out there somewhere but in here, in our own lives? That instead of becoming a knock-off of someone else, we can be uniquely ourselves?

Story
Starting in 1997, Bob Chapman and Barry-Wehmiller pioneered a dramatically different approach to leadership that creates off-the-charts morale, loyalty, creativity, and business performance. The company utterly rejects the idea that employees are simply functions to be moved around, "managed" with carrots and sticks, or discarded at will. Instead Barry-Wehmiller manifests the reality that every single person matters, just like in a family. That's not a cliché on a mission statement; it's the bedrock of the company's success.

For years now, win-win has been the paradigm for business negotiation. But today, win-win is just the seductive mantra used by the toughest negotiators to get the other side to compromise unnecessarily, early, and often. Win-win negotiations play to your emotions and take advantage of your instinct and desire to make the deal. Start with No introduces a system of decision-based negotiation that teaches you how to understand and control these emotions.

Story
In The Relationship Economy, author John DiJulius teaches business leaders about the importance of relationship building in the digital age. He argues that in spite of (and because of) the advances in tech, we've become a less connected society. We have dramatically evolved away from face-to-face communication, and the skill of building rapport is evaporating. This means that customer personalization and relationships are more important now than ever - and they will be the key to success for businesses moving forward.
