The business world is in flux, and you have to think and act quickly in order to stay competitive. But the last thing you want to do is make reckless business decisions. You have to find the middle ground. You have to take SMART RISKS.
In this groundbreaking book, leadership expert Doug Sundheim explains how to find that precise point between comfort and danger for generating the sustained ability to work at the highest level of performance.
"From Sherwin Williams to Moo.com, Doug Sundheim is onto something here: your work is worth fighting for. A worthy read for everyone in your organization."
--Seth Godin, Author, The Icarus Deception
"The risk-taking concepts in this book lie at the heart of effective leadership. Using case studies and stories from executives who have 'been there, done that,' Doug Sundheim teaches us that sometimes the most dangerous thing to do--in business and life--is to play it safe."
--Marshall Goldsmith, million-selling author of the New York Times bestsellers MOJO and What Got You Here Won't Get You There
"Sundheim delivers a message that every business needs to hear right now: excessive risk will kill you, but so will complacency. . . . If you're charged with driving growth in your organization, buy this book--but more importantly, use it."
--Jed Hartman, Group Publisher, Fortune & CNNMoney.com
"A spectacular book! The stories were powerful, the advice was crystal clear, and every few pages called me to action. I have bookmarked more pages in Taking Smart Risks than I have in any book since reading Peter Drucker's classics."
--Michael Hejtmanek, President & CEO, Hasselblad Bron Inc.
"Doug Sundheim does an excellent job of demonstrating not only how to take smart risks, but also how to lead the process of risk-taking--a critical skill set for leaders today."
--Cindy Zollinger, President & CEO, Cornerstone Research
"A compelling case for why smart risk taking is so important in today's fast-paced, uncertain world."
--Willie Pietersen, Professor, Columbia Business School; former CEO, Tropicana and Seagram USA
Taking Smart Risks reveals the secrets to discovering, planning for, and acting upon the kind of risks that will move your company forward and ahead of the competition. Learn how to:
Find Something Worth Fighting For--What do you care enough about to risk time, energy, and money to try to make happen? Determining this is half the battle.
See the Future Now--Clarify your big idea in terms of real objectives, plans, and intended results.
Act Fast, Learn Fast--Make your move quickly, but be sure you don't squander valuable resources in the process.
Communicate Powerfully--Assume communication will break down at points, plan accordingly--and don't shy away from the tough conversations.
Create a Smart Risk Culture-- Build teams that share the same mindsets and values about expected smart risk behavior.

10. dispute resolution
The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR), which can be found here: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. Consumers have the possibility to use this platform for the settlement of their disputes.
To settle disputes arising from a contractual relationship with a consumer or whether such a contractual relationship exists at all, we are obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. The responsible body is the Universalschlichtungsstelle des Bundes am Zentrum für Schlichtung e.V., Straßburger Straße 8, 77694 Kehl am Rhein, www.verbraucher-schlichter.de. We will participate in a dispute resolution procedure before this body.
11. protection of minors
If your order includes goods whose sale is subject to age restrictions, we ensure that the customer has reached the required minimum age by using a reliable procedure involving a personal identity and age check. The delivery person will hand over the goods only after the age check has been carried out and only to the customer in person.
Delivery to packing stations is not possible in this case.
