The Meaningful Leader - The power of meaning to serve and transform

by Milton de Sousa

~~18,50€~~ 14,80€ 20% OFF

free shipping

 Meaning is a fundamental human need. Yet, most organizations fail to provide the conditions for people to experience meaningful work. For example, while meaning is a primary contributor to engagement, it is estimated that around 60% of people are disengaged at work. The economic and social costs of this problem are immense. What is surprising is that management science knows how leaders can promote meaningful work, but that knowledge does not reach practice sufficiently. This book aims to help cover that gap. Based on an extensive review of the latest research on leadership and human motivation and insights from practice, management science, psychology, and philosophy, this book offers a model to enable leaders to foster meaning in organizations, including practical tools and guidelines for becoming a meaningful leader every day.

I, Leader - Guidelines for Leadership Development

by Arménio Rego e Miguel Pina e Cunha

~~18,80€~~ 15,04€ 20% OFF

free shipping

 This book is both a completed endeavor and a work in progress. It is unquestionable that leaders must develop technical, socio-relational, cognitive and self-leadership competencies. It is also indisputable that the relative importance of these competencies changes as leaders advance in their careers. However, the thesis that leadership is a process involving leaders, followers and the situation has an implication: as followers and the situation change (and few changes are as profound as those engendered by COVID-19), leaders must adapt their behaviors in order to be more effective leaders. Thus, here it is another implication: leadership itself is also a work in progress.

A Conceptual Model to Introduce Tele_work in Lisbon

 Arquitectura é muito mais que objectos construídos. Arquitectar é conjugar beleza, força e sabedoria na construção e transformação do meio ambiente, por forma a realizar a harmonia do espaço e da vivência. Esta verdade anciã exige nos dias que correm a conceptualização de novos paradigmas de concepção e planeamento do espaço. Um dos aspectos fundamentais da insustentabilidade da vida moderna da espécie humana é a dissociação geográfica entre as duas necessidades básicas do ser vivo: o consumo e a produção. As Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação são um meio possível para minorar ou pontualmente eliminar este aspecto. Esta dissertação desenvolve um modelo conceptual para a introdução do teletrabalho na área metropolitana de Lisboa que, assente numa análise multidisciplinar, propõe caminhos alternativos ao arquitecto que pretenda assumir-se como agente da mudança. 1. Introductory chapter 2. Characterisation of the urban structure of the city of Lisbon 3. Lisbon’s services characterisation 4. Telework 5. Implementing telework in urban areas: study 6.
