Book Description

A New York Times bestseller 'A sensation ... a rollicking tale well told' - The Times At the heart of Born to Run lies a mysterious tribe of Mexican Indians, the Tarahumara, who live quietly in canyons and are reputed to be the best distance runners in the world; in 1993, one of them, aged 57, came first in a prestigious 100-mile race wearing a toga and sandals. A small group of the world's top ultra-runners (and the awe-inspiring author) make the treacherous journey into the canyons to try to learn the tribe's secrets and then take them on over a course 50 miles long. With incredible energy and smart observation, McDougall tells this story while asking what the secrets are to being an incredible runner. Travelling to labs at Harvard, Nike, and elsewhere, he comes across an incredible cast of characters, including the woman who recently broke the world record for 100 miles and for her encore ran a 2:50 marathon in a bikini, pausing to down a beer at the 20 mile mark.

Book Description

This timely guide explains how businesses can effectively integrate and coordinate career and succession planning programs to meet the personnel demands of the future. Drawing on their experience and expertise with workforce development, the authors of this book based its content on a single but important premise. With global economic instability, a slowdown in workforce growth, extraordinary competition for the best talent, and the rapid advance of technology, there is an immediate need to integrate career and succession planning programs. Explaining how to do just that, this practical, user-friendly guide is the first to link those critical business tools, showing readers how to prepare for tomorrow—and the many years after. The book presents a systematic approach through which businesses can integrate and coordinate career planning and succession planning programs. Part One makes the business case for moving beyond segregated career and succession planning and shows why they must be integrated. Part Two offers foundations for integration, while Part Three outlines the strategies that can make integration a reality. Part Four addresses the future of career development and succession planning. Other topics include the future of organizational infrastructure and the implications of a diverse workforce. Employee engagement and leadership development are also explored.
