High Performance Manual Featured in LibraryBub Selection for July

LOS ANGELES, July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Jim Collins, author of Good to Great, sees discipline as the key to making businesses perform at the highest level — disciplined people, disciplined thought and disciplined action. In his book, Cutting Through, Bernie Haffey describes that discipline for a business in terms of having a "framework of an established set of principles that guides all they do". It is a comprehensive exploration into the nuances of the key high-performance management systems that turn good companies into great ones.

LibraryBub is an industry first. Established in 2015, it works in conjunction with all major libraries. It is dedicated to making strong, mutual connections between indie and small-press authors and an extensive network of libraries. The core commitment of the LibraryBub service is to help librarians to identify acclaimed books from the independent publishing sector. LibraryBub introduces thousands of librarians to bestselling and award-winning books from the independent publishing sector. These books hold immense potential for enhancing the lives of their readers. Business author Alex Banayan recalls being a young man trying to work out his direction in life. "The question of what I wanted to do with my life eventually turned into 'How did the people who did know what they wanted to do break through? How did Bill Gates sell his first piece of software when nobody knew his name? How did Steven Spielberg, who'd been rejected from film school, become the youngest major studio director in Hollywood history?'

I went to the library and ripped through business books and biographies, searching for answers." By doing so, it was clear that no one had written the exact book that he wanted to read, so he decided to write it himself! Librarians enable writers to make that kind of difference to people's lives, and LibraryBub CEO Alinka Rutkowska considers it a privilege to support them in that role.
