Wall Street Journal Bestseller The playbook for a new era of global business. The business world has changed, and to stay ahead, companies must think, operate, and scale differently. Companies need to adopt a new mindset and build distributed teams with a unique set of skills to succeed in global markets. A new strategic approach and revision of the agile methodology are necessary to better balance the need to localize with the complexity that localization creates. To date, business leaders have had to learn how to scale globally the hard way—through trial, error, and failure—since no guidebook existed to light the way . . . until now. Enter Global Class: the playbook that teaches you how to build teams, manage a diverse international footprint, and balance cultural differences to scale globally by focusing locally. Through case studies and insights from more than 250 of the world’s fastest-growing companies, Aaron McDaniel and Klaus Wehage illuminate what this new class of businesses (“Global Class Companies”) do to succeed, who are the catalysts of their growth, and how they do it. From market entry to international growth, Global Class introduces a comprehensive tool kit of practical frameworks that provide a blueprint for how to build and manage a global business. Whether your company is just starting its growth journey, already has an established international footprint, or you are a globally minded professional looking to build an international career, Global Class is the essential playbook for reaching global scale for businesses of all sizes and stages.

College does not teach you how to be successful in the working world. There is no course or textbook that explains how to create the fulfilling careers many aspire to. The Millennial generation is 80 million members strong and each year more than 1.5 million enter the working world with little to no idea of how to succeed. While companies spend millions of dollars scrambling to learn more about Millennials and adapt their work cultures to fit this generation, there are remarkably few resources dedicated to teaching young professionals the traits and techniques that will help them succeed in an ever-changing and always-challenging corporate environment. The Young Professional's Guide to the Working World fills this void, offering relevant advice to young professionals seeking to build a strong career foundation. A fellow Millennial, McDaniel draws on personal experiences from the beginning of his own career to illustrate key lessons. The Young Professional's Guide to the Working World provides important insights on the topics essential to success within the first 5–10 years of any corporate career, including: How to get promoted faster and drive results not matter what your industry or job title The 25 attributes all successful young professionals possess How to avoid being a DOPE (someone who Disses Opportunity, Potential & Earnings) The keys to becoming a STAR in your career (someone who is Savvy, Tenacious, Adaptive & Resourceful) How to create and implement a career blueprint plan, the right way Leveraging mentoring to ensure career success

The Young Professional's Guide to the Working World

Most people think about purpose as a destination. They believe discovering one’s purpose is the end. Knowing your purpose is just the beginning. Living it out is the real journey. But living out purpose isn’t always easy. It’s a process. There are days you don’t feel it and seasons you can’t see it. Do you become so focused on arriving at your purpose that you get frustrated with the process? The frustration builds a fog and blinds you from the truth you once knew. The truth never changes. God never changes. His purpose for you never shifts no matter how long you feel you’ve waited or how distant the purpose seems. You must learn how to remove the fog and see the truth that’s always been there. In The Path of Purpose, author Aaron McDaniel talks about the difficult seasons of life through the lens of the word of God, so your challenging seasons and problems are filtered through faith to stand on a solid foundation—a foundation not affected by the seasons you walk through. Through scripture, Biblical examples, and his personal experiences, McDaniel offers a guide to help you shift your perspective from focusing on the destination of your purpose to walking with God on the journey He has planned for you.
