Developers and project managers alike can expand their mastery of database management to better understand development team needs and make decisions with deeper data-driven analysis. While this book *is* for beginners, it offers the same college-level material that promises to teach you exactly what you need to know to successfully leverage the SQL programming language to enhance your career.

She persuasively shows how “Multipliers” can have a resoundingly positive and profitable effect on organizations by: - Getting more done with fewer resources - Developing and attracting talent - Cultivating new ideas and energy to drive organizational change and innovation In analyzing data from more than 150 leaders, Wiseman identifies five disciplines that distinguish “Multipliers” from “Diminishers.” The kicker: these five disciplines aren’t based on innate talent; they’re skills and practices that anyone can learn to use—even lifelong and stubborn “Diminishers.”   [![Execute a Digital Transformation of Your Supply Chain](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/5538017/825ba9f6-e422-44a5-8853-b99d49edbe70.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/5538017/825ba9f6-e422-44a5-8853-b99d49edbe70) ## [Oracle Database 12c DBA Handbook](https://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Database-12c-Handbook-Press/dp/0071798781) Straight from the Oracle Press, this handbook represents the most complete and current Oracle DBA Resource.

By the time you finish with this one, you’ll have gained a profound understanding of: - Key SQL and PL/SQL features of Oracle Database 12c - Multitenant architecture and Database In-Memory option for Oracle Database 12c - Advanced concepts like external procedures, securing data using VPD, SecureFiles, and code tracing & profiling - And *much* more! ![Oracle Career Growth-1](https://blog.shiperp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Oracle%20Career%20Growth-1.png?width=700&name=Oracle%20Career%20Growth-1.png) ## [Trust and Inspire: How Truly Great Leaders Unleash Greatness in Others](https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Trust-and-Inspire/Stephen-M-R-Covey/9781982143725) The world has changed drastically, but our leadership style hasn’t. This book—dubbed “the defining leadership book in the 21st century” by Admiral William McRaven (author of *Make Your Bed*)—addresses what author Stephen M.R. Covey sees as a leadership crisis. Coming from a belief that people are creative, collaborative, and full of potential, Covey offers a bold solution: a shift from a “command and control” model to a leadership style of “trust and inspire.” For SAP users, SAP functional analysts, or SAP consultants, check out the [MUST-READ Books for SAP Career Growth](https://blog.shiperp.com/must-read-books-for-growing-your-sap-career)!   [![Free downloadable resources button](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/5538017/ca200d25-c8e7-48c1-8b90-6fac508e8d3f.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/5538017/ca200d25-c8e7-48c1-8b90-6fac508e8d3f)     Tags: [Supply Chain](https://blog.shiperp.com/tag/supply-chain), [ShipERP](https://blog.shiperp.com/tag/shiperp), [Oracle](https://blog.shiperp.com/tag/oracle) [Back to Blog](https://blog.shiperp.com) ## Related Articles ## [Guide to Oracle Log Shipping](https://blog.shiperp.com/oracle-log-shipping) Oracle offers a cloud infrastructure platform with a full collection of cloud services.
