Triumph Over Tragedy: September 11 and the Rebirth of a Business

Triumph Over Tragedy: September 11 and the Rebirth of a Business
Wiley | 2002 | ISBN: 0471244384 | Pages: 240 | PDF | 1.25 MB

"Rebuilding KBW is eloquent testimony to the strength, spirit, and will of the people of our city."
–Richard D. Parsons, Chief Executive Officer, AOL Time Warner, Inc.

"There are no management manuals for rebuilding a firm after the tragedy that KBW suffered on 9/11. KBW’s success in their restoration is a testament to the skill and determination of the people at the firm and the deeply felt need of their friends and supporters throughout the country to help them succeed. That business success was matched by their concern for the families of those who did not survive the 9/11tragedy. As a member of one of those families and a longtime friend and client of the firm, I am deeply moved by its story. KBW is, at the same time, but one example of the strength and spirit of Americans and New Yorkers who cannot be defeated by the forces of evil."
–Thomas S. Johnson, Chairman and CEO, GreenPoint Financial

No one would have blamed the management and employees of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods for giving up. The September 11 terrorist attack killed one-third of the company’s staff and obliterated its headquarters. Yet the men and women of KBW refused to quit.

Triumph Over Tragedy tells the powerful and compelling story of KBW’s destruction and rebirth. Firsthand accounts from dozens of staff members at all levels describe the horrifying events of September 11, recall the devastation and suffering in the aftermath of the tragedy, and explain how, in the face of overwhelming destruction, they found the will and resources to survive and thrive.

The people of KBW set a new standard for disaster recovery and redefined our understanding of how much loss one company can endure and still rebuild. Their story offers lessons of hope and renewal that will inspire anyone struggling with personal or professional loss due to unforeseen tragedy.

The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations

Portfolio Hardcover | 2006 | ISBN: 1591841437 | Pages: 240 | PDF | 1.34 MB

Understanding the amazing force that links some of today's most successful companies

If you cut off a spider's leg, it's crippled; if you cut off its head, it dies. But if you cut off a starfish's leg it grows a new one, and the old leg can grow into an entirely new starfish.

What's the hidden power behind the success of Wikipedia, craigslist, and Skype? What do eBay and General Electric have in common with the abolitionist and women's rights movements? What fundamental choice put General Motors and Toyota on vastly different paths? How could winning a Supreme Court case be the biggest mistake MGM could have made?

After five years of ground-breaking research, Ori Brafman and Rod Beckstrom share some unexpected answers, gripping stories, and a tapestry of unlikely connections. The Starfish and the Spider argues that organizations fall into two categories: traditional “spiders,” which have a rigid hierarchy and top-down leadership, and revolutionary “starfish,” which rely on the power of peer relationships.

The Starfish and the Spider explores what happens when starfish take on spiders (such as the music industry vs. Napster, Kazaa, and the P2P services that followed). It reveals how established companies and institutions, from IBM to Intuit to the US government, are also learning how to incorporate starfish principles to achieve success. The book explores:
* How the Apaches fended off the powerful Spanish army for 200 years
* The power of a simple circle
* The importance of catalysts who have an uncanny ability to bring people together
* How the Internet has become a breeding ground for leaderless organizations
* How Alcoholics Anonymous has reached untold millions with only a shared ideology and without a leader

IT Manager's Handbook, 2 Ed: Getting your new job done

Many technical professionals are tossed into their new position of managing an IT department without enough training or experience - let alone a clear idea of what is expected of them. Other technicians are trying to decide if they should join the ranks of management, and want the real facts about managing - and managing other technical pros - before they decide.
To compound the issue, most companies have become highly dependent on their IT departments for their day-to-day business operations - often including revenue generation - so the tasks are critical and the learning curve is steep.

The IT Manager’s Handbook, 2nd edition provides essential information needed to manage the new responsibilities thrust on you (or the ones you would like to have): vital tasks such as creating budgets, evaluating technologies, administering compliance, and managing staff.
