"Killing the Witches revisits one of the most frightening and inexplicable episodes in American history: the events of 1692 and 1693 in Salem Village, Massachusetts. What began as a mysterious affliction of two young girls who suffered violent fits and exhibited strange behavior soon spread to other young women. Rumors of demonic possession and witchcraft consumed Salem. Soon three women were arrested under suspicion of being witches--but as the hysteria spread, more than 200 people were accused. Thirty were found guilty, twenty were executed, and others died in jail or their lives were ruined. What really happened in Salem? Killing the Witches tells the horrifying story of a colonial town's madness, offering the historical context of similar episodes of community mania during that time, and exploring the evidence that emerged in the Salem trials, in contemporary accounts, and in subsequent investigations.--

THE STRATEGIC PRICING HEXAGON and its seven games "The biggest benefit of Game Changer is that it will encourage business leaders to step back and think through the fundamentals of their business: how do we create and share value. This is the first book I've read that provides a clear and practical definition of pricing strategy--and how to determine one--instead of going straight to the numbers. " MARIN GJAJA, CHIEF CUSTOMER OFFICER, FORD MODEL E "What I appreciate most about Game Changer is that it left me with more practical options and ideas about pricing strategy, not with more math problems and more complicated theories. " ERIC REYNOLDS, CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, CLOROX " Game Changer elevates pricing from a specialized practice to a strategic perspective on the entire business. Even better, it makes pricing accessible, practical, and enjoyable. The seven pricing games and the associated playbooks are very insightful and have far-reaching implications for go-to-market strategies. " STEVE MALLOUK, SVP, GLOBAL BUSINESS STRATEGY, VISA.

By Dan Bredeson
Culture is grown, not built Why do so many organizations get culture so wrong. Because too many leaders think like a carpenter instead of a farmer. Culture is often referred to in construction terms, such as "Let's build our culture," or "We need to lay a solid foundation for culture. " Culture doesn't work that way. It's an organic process. Culture is grown, not built. In Seeds of Culture , author Dan Bredeson discusses -how an organization's culture affects performance, -the six traits of successful "culture farmers" (i. e. , leaders), -the seven "seeds" that will grow into a culture of commitment, -and how leaders should cultivate those seeds throughout their life cycle. Many organizations have a culture which seeks compliance instead of commitment. Performance improves when members of the organization go the extra mile because they want to, not because they have to. Seeds of Culture outlines how to improve performance by growing a culture of commitment. This leads to a sense of community and an environment in which team members show up, work hard, and care about each other and the organization.
