Real wages have stagnated or declined for most workers, job insecurity has increased, and retirement income is uncertain. Hours of work for white collar employees have increased steadily, opportunities for advancement have withered, and evidence of the negative effects of workplace stress on health continues to accumulate. Why have jobs gotten so much worse? As Peter Cappelli argues, these issues are not a result of companies trying to be cost effective. They stem from the logic of financial accounting--the arbiter for determining whether a company is maximizing shareholder value--and its fundamental flaws in dealing with human capital.

Peter Cappelli's latest book answers both these questions: corporations are pushed by accounting demands to squeeze employment costs and to rely on contractors and outsourcing to keep these costs off their books-even at the expense of HR practices supported by decades of research and experience. Our Least Important Asset is an arresting take on the source of our current employment malaise. * Jerry Davis, University of Michigan *\u003cbr\u003eHuman capital expert Peter Cappelli has written an important new book addressing the fundamental question of why policies that value and build human capital are not only rare in practice but increasingly implemented. His insightful answer: financial accounting measures lead to a lose-lose situation in which companies and their employees suffer. Just as the ESG movement has broadened reporting, so the answer to improved productivity and employee wellbeing must begin in changes in accounting measures. * Jeffrey Pfeffer, Stanford Graduate School of Business *\u003cbr\u003ePeter Cappelli, one of the leading scholars of workforce management, offers a compelling explanation of the decline of human resource practices like careful hiring and performance evaluation and investment in training. Corporate fixation with shareholder value maximization operationalized through financial accounting practices has turned employees from a perceived asset to a liability. Cappelli's probing analysis shows that the popular bromide of convincing corporate leaders 'to do well by doing good' is not sufficient to stem the erosion of work. That makes Our Least Important Asset a must read for those who care about the future of work and workers. * David Weil, Brandeis University *\u003cbr\u003eA thought-provoking and important study for managers or faculty and students in business and management programs. * Library Journal *\u003cbr\u003eCappelli's book is based on decades of research and experience in human resource management.

With solid research and sparkling examples, Wiseman shows how to do the things they don’t teach us in school—tackling ambiguous problems, surmounting unforeseen obstacles, hitting moving targets, and traveling beyond the boundaries of your job description to make a real contribution.” — Daniel H. Pink, number one New York Times bestselling author of When, Drive, and To Sell is Human  “If you want to stand out early in your career, this book is required reading. Liz Wiseman highlights the practical, often surprising habits that will help you reach your potential and make your mark.” — Adam Grant, number one New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife  “Impact Players will teach you how to have empathy for your boss without kissing up, how to step up and take charge even when you don’t have formal authority, and when to step back and follow, so you can make big things happen for your team and your career.” — Kim Scott, author of Radical Candor and Just Work  “Liz Wiseman has done it again. Impact Players is an engaging and practical guide to how anyone can be more effective at work. In a refreshing departure from the relentless emphasis on leadership that dominates the field, Wiseman digs into the important question of how people make themselves valuable and how they find ways to make an impact when and where it matters most.” — Amy C. Edmondson, professor, Harvard Business School, and author of The Fearless Organization  “In building innovative Silicon Valley companies and running US economic diplomacy, I’ve learned that Impact Players are the essential ingredient for growing transformative organizations. And Liz Wiseman’s book gives you the recipe. Impact Players will help you develop the desperately needed next generation of bold, principled, transformational leaders to address our challenges and make sure the world of tomorrow is a better world for all.” — Keith Krach, former United States undersecretary of state, chairman and CEO of DocuSign and Ariba  \"Being busy? Easy. Having an impact and making a difference? Well, that’s hard, really hard. Liz Wiseman, in her typically brilliantly, generous, and rigorous way, shows how any of us can change what we do so we too can be an Impact Player. This book is every bit as important and as good as Multipliers. And that book changed the working world.” — Michael Bungay Stanier, author of The Coaching Habit  “Impact Players is a gold mine! It is filled with powerful insights and actionable recommendations on how to move beyond being a competent employee to being a truly impactful team player. This should be required reading for individual contributors and leaders alike.” — Tina Seelig, professor and executive director, Knight-Hennessy Scholars, Stanford University  “As we slowly get through the challenges of the global pandemic, we cannot declare victory and go back to normal. We must look further forward to face a future of unprecedented adversity and opportunity. We need more leaders with the right mindset and skills to tackle our biggest and most important challenges—like the climate crisis or technological disruption of jobs, work, industries, and institutions. The world needs fewer people accepting the status quo and more Impact Players who are actively working to create the future they see is possible. This book is a playbook that will help individuals work at a higher level, inspire teams to do great things, and enable organizations to create a culture that fosters growth and to become high-impact organizations.” — Rob Nail, associate founder and former CEO, Singularity University  “Every colleague, teammate, and contributor wants to be the ‘go to,’ high-performing, high-contributing player. Some might call them indispensable. Well, now you have the practical mindsets, strategies, and tools to achieve those goals. It doesn’t take much, but it does take leaders and colleagues who are able to apply simple techniques to extract that extra engagement sitting just below the surface. Liz is a master, and every CHRO\/CPO should read this book. If you’re looking to take your organization and the amazing colleagues you have to another level of contribution, this is the guide to help you get them there!” — Eric Hutcherson, chief people and inclusion of?cer, Universal Music Group  \"As with all of Wiseman’s books, this is supremely well-researched, structured and filled with relatable stories.

Not necessarily, says Sara Goldrick-Rab, and with Paying the Price, she shows in damning detail exactly why. Quite simply, college is far too expensive for many people today, and the confusing mix of federal, state, institutional, and private financial aid leaves countless students without the resources they need to pay for it.     Drawing on an unprecedented study of 3,000 young adults who entered public colleges and universities in Wisconsin in 2008 with the support of federal aid and Pell Grants, Goldrick-Rab reveals the devastating effect of these shortfalls. Half the students in the study left college without a degree, while less than 20 percent finished within five years. The cause of their problems, time and again, was lack of money.

Porter''s groundbreaking concept of the value chain disaggregates a company into ''activities'', or the discrete functions or processes that represent the elemental building blocks of competitive advantage. Now an essential part of international business thinking, COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE takes strategy from broad vision to an internally consistent configuration of activities. Its powerful framework provides the tools to understand the drivers of cost and a company''s relative cost position. Porter''s value chain enables managers to isolate the underlying sources of buyer value that will command a premium price, and the reasons why one product or service substitutes for another. He shows how competitive advantage lies not only in activities themselves but in the way activities relate to each other, to supplier activities, and to customer activities. That the phrases ''competitive advantage'' and ''sustainable competitive advantage'' have become commonplace is testimony to the power of Porter''s ideas.
