by James Macaulay, Jeff Loucks e Michael Wade

~~13,18€~~ 10,54€ 20% OFF

 WINNER OF THE 2017 AXIOM BEST BUSINESS BOOK AWARD"Digital disruption" sounds like another business buzzword—until it happens to your company. Seemingly out of nowhere, startups and other tech-savvy disruptors attack. Your customers bolt for the door and revenues stall. Senior executives ignore the problem, or turn to yesterday’s management playbook. In months instead of years, you’ve gone from market leader to also-ran. This scenario is beginning to play out in every industry. Everything that can be digitized—from products and services to the entire value chain—is being digitized, to the advantage of companies that can harness disruption. Unfortunately, few companies are building the organizational capabilities and strategic responses to compete in this stark new reality. In Digital Vortex, you will learn how to use the business models and strategies of startups to your own advantage. Instead of waiting to be disrupted, you can maximize the value of your existing businesses and move into profitable new ones. Most importantly, you will learn how to build the agility to anticipate threats, sense opportunities, and seize them before your rivals do. In today’s world there are two paths: navigating to a new digital future, or being engulfed by exponential competitive change. With recommendations backed by research with thousands of senior executives from market leaders and startups alike, this book gives you a compass to chart your own course—to compete with disruptors and win.

 The more challenging the times, the more crucial strong and effective leadership becomes. Beyond Leadership''s consistently people-oriented approach fosters trust, respect and appreciation within an organization — and has already proven its effectiveness in hundreds of real-world applications.Most traditional leadership concepts focus primarily on the relationship between superiors and employees.

Alongside the theoretical foundations, this book provides a clear, step-by-step guide to applying this leadership approach in practice. With numerous examples, it offers hands-on strategies that make it a true workbook in every sense.«Beyond Leadership» is intended for executives at all levels and in all sectors, specialists in organisational and personnel development and those responsible for shaping leadership work in associations and other part-time public service organizationsContent: Introduction: Cooperation instead of hierarchy The model of the Beyond Leadership Activation Circle: Structure and functionalitiy The steps: - Check-in: Focus on the main topic - Connect: Get to know each other at the highest level - Align: Align to a common identity - Imagine: Developing sustainable solutions together - Commit: The step towards implementation quality - Debriefing: The decisive consolidation - Check-out: The summarizing reflection The sustainability of Beyond Leadership: Beyond Culture Further application possibilities
Trust - The Best Way To Manage

by Reinhard K. Sprenger

31,99€ + 10% CARD

 In business, nothing is more important than trust. No company can prosper without trust between management and employees, among colleagues and partners, and between the organization and the outside world. Trust is the strongest foundation for customer loyalty, staff motivation and market confidence. This book brings trust out of the realm of ideals and the reveals that it isn't just a virtue, but an economic necessity, especially for a company operating in today's turbulent markets. The author explodes a number of dangerous myths about trust: that it is no more than a feel-good factor, that it has to be earned, and that trust is fine but control is better. He shows that the mistrust prevalent in many corporations can incur huge commercial costs, and explains the quickest and most direct ways for a company to win trust. Reinhard Sprenger is a passionate advocate of putting trust into action in the way companies are run. As he shows management rhetoric is one thing; genuine, deep-seated and widespread trust quite another. In the end, real trust will do more for a company's security than any security measure, exert control more effectively than any control system, and create more value than any value-creation programme.

Strong Ground - The Lessons Of Daring Leadership, The Tenacity Of Paradox And The Wisdom Of The Human Spirit

by Bren Brown

17,99€ + 10% CARD

 #1 New York Times bestselling author Brené Brown returns with an urgent call to reimagine the essentials of courageous leadership. In a time when uncertainty runs deep and bluster, hubris and even cruelty are increasingly framed as acceptable leadership, Brown delivers practical, actionable insights that illuminate the mindsets and skill sets essential to reclaiming focus and driving growth through connection, discipline and accountability. Over the past six years, Brené Brown, along with a global community of coaches and facilitators, has taken more than 150,000 leaders in 45 countries through her Dare to Lead courage-building work. In Strong Ground, Brown shares the lessons from these experiences along with wisdom from other thinkers. This is a vital playbook for everyone from senior leaders developing and executing complex strategies to Gen Z-ers entering and navigating turbulent work environments. It is also an unflinching assessment of what happens when we continue to perpetuate the falsehood that performance and wholeheartedness are mutually exclusive. With equal amounts of optimism and caution about AI, Brown writes, 'I hear a lot of experts trying to soothe people’s anxiety about the pace of technological change by offering platitudes like, What makes us human will ensure our relevance. This is dangerous simply because, right now, we’re not especially good at what makes us human. We’re not hardwired for this level of uncertainty, and many of us feel as if the constant need to self-protect is driving the humanity right out of us. This is why organisational transformation today must foster deep connection, deep thinking and deep collaboration. We need the courage to lead people in a way that honours and protects the wisdom of the human spirit.' Brown offers a broad assessment of the skill sets and mindsets we need moving forward, including the capacity for respectful and difficult conversations, increased productive urgency and smart prioritisation rather than reactivity, strategic risk-taking, paradoxical thinking and situational and anticipatory awareness skills. She identifies the toughest skill set as the discipline, humility and confidence to unlearn and relearn. Brown writes, 'Individuals and organisations are building new muscles. Finding our strong ground — that athletic stance — is the only thing that can provide both unwavering stability in a maelstrom of uncertainty and a platform for the fast, explosive change that the world is demanding.'
