Humanocracy highlights a lesson that has never been more important: businesses are all about people, and the more human we make them, the better. - Ana Botin, Executive Chairman, Santander…Messrs Hamel and Zanini may be onto something. Too many people feel dissatisfied with their jobs. A Gallup survey of American employees in 2019 found that less than a quarter said they were expected to be innovative in their job; only one in five felt their opinions mattered at work. Unleash their creativity, and productivity will improve, job satisfaction will increase and workers in supposedly low-skilled jobs will be free to demonstrate their abilities.

-Titulo Original : The Heart Of Change Real-life Stories Of How People Change Their Organizations-Fabricante : Harvard Business Review Press-Descripcion Original: Moving beyond the process of changeWhy is change so hard? Because in order to make any transformation successful, you must change more than just the structure and operations of an organization-you need to change people’s behavior. And that is never easy.The Heart of Change is your guide to helping people think and feel differently in order to meet your shared goals. According to bestselling author and renowned leadership expert John Kotter and coauthor Dan Cohen, this focus on connecting with people’s emotions is what will spark the behavior change and actions that lead to success. Now freshly designed, The Heart of Change is the engaging and essential complement to Kotter’s worldwide bestseller Leading Change.Building off of Kotter’s revolutionary eight-step process, this book vividly illustrates how large-scale change can work. With real-life stories of people in organizations, the authors show how teams and individuals get motivated and activated to overcome obstacles to change-and produce spectacular results. Kotter and Cohen argue that change initiatives often fail because leaders rely too exclusively on data and analysis to get buy-in from their teams instead of creatively showing or doing something that appeals to their emotions and inspires them to spring into action. They call this the see-feel-change dynamic, and it is crucial for the success of any true organizational transformation.Refreshingly clear and eminently practical, The Heart of Change is required reading for anyone facing the challenges inherent in leading change. About the Author John P. Kotter is internationally regarded as the foremost authority on the topics of leadership and change.

-Titulo Original : Better, Simpler Strategy A Value-based Guide To Exceptional Performance-Fabricante : Harvard Business Review Press-Descripcion Original: Named one of the best strategy books of 2021 by strategybusinessGet to better, more effective strategy.In nearly every business segment and corner of the world economy, the most successful companies dramatically outperform their rivals. What is their secret? In Better, Simpler Strategy, Harvard Business School professor Felix Oberholzer-Gee shows how these companies achieve more by doing less. At a time when rapid technological change and global competition conspire to upend traditional ways of doing business, these companies pursue radically simplified strategies. At a time when many managers struggle not to drown in vast seas of projects and initiatives, these businesses follow simple rules that help them select the few ideas that truly make a difference.Better, Simpler Strategy provides readers with a simple tool, the value stick, which every organization can use to make its strategy more effective and easier to execute. Based on proven financial mechanics, the value stick helps executives decide where to focus their attention and how to deepen the competitive advantage of their business.How does the value stick work? It provides a way of measuring the two fundamental forces that lead to value creation and increased financial success-the customers willingness-to-pay and the employees willingness-to-sell their services to the business. Companies that win, Oberholzer-Gee shows, create value for customers by raising their willingness-to-pay, and they provide value for talent by lowering their willingness-to-sell. The approach, proven in practice, is entirely data driven and uniquely suited to be cascaded throughout the organization.With many useful visuals and examples across industries and geographies, Better, Simpler Strategy explains how these two key measures enable firms to gauge and improve their strategies and operations. Based on the authors sought-after strategy course, this book is your must-have guide for making better strategic decisions. Review Named one of The 10 Best Business Books of 2021 by ForbesThis book lives up to the promise of its title by distilling strategy into a beautifully simple premise… - strategybusinessAdvance Praise for Better, Simpler Strategy:In our fast-evolving and complex world, its crucial to mobilize our teams with a clear and compelling strategy. In this enlightening and practical book, Oberholzer-Gee leads you to design a simple strategy statement and helps you understand how to maximize the gap between willingness-to-pay and willingness-to-sell. - Florent Menegaux, CEO, MichelinSimplicity is a virtue, and Better, Simpler Strategy cuts through the jargon of business to provide an invaluable first-principles strategic guide. Illustrated by a wealth of in-depth examples, this book puts forward a new value-based framework for coming up with breakthrough strategies. - Adam Brandenburger, J.P. Valles Professor, NYU Stern School of Business; coauthor, Co-opetitionThe value stick is an incredible tool based on Oberholzer-Gees twenty years of research and practice in the field of strategy. It reveals the essence of strategic issues in a simple and intuitive manner, making formerly complex and difficult strategic decisions easy and effective. - Liu Xiaoyan, CEO, E Fund Management, China’s largest fund managerStrategy is an art and a science, and often a mystery. Better, Simpler Strategy demystifies value creation, making strategy accessible and exceptional performance achievable to all levels of leaders. - Aman Bhutani, CEO, GoDaddyOberholzer-Gee expertly distills the complex topic of strategy down to the simplicity of the value stick, using hard data and real-life examples that bring the pitfalls and opportunities of a bad or good strategy to life.

-Titulo Original : An Everyone Culture Becoming A Deliberately Developmental Organization-Fabricante : Harvard Business Review Press-Descripcion Original: A Radical New Model for Unleashing Your Company’s PotentialIn most organizations nearly everyone is doing a second job no one is paying them for-namely, covering their weaknesses, trying to look their best, and managing other people’s impressions of them. There may be no greater waste of a company’s resources. The ultimate cost: neither the organization nor its people are able to realize their full potential. What if a company did everything in its power to create a culture in which everyone-not just select “high potentials”-could overcome their own internal barriers to change and use errors and vulnerabilities as prime opportunities for personal and company growth?Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey (and their collaborators) have found and studied such companies-Deliberately Developmental Organizations. A DDO is organized around the simple but radical conviction that organizations will best prosper when they are more deeply aligned with people’s strongest motive, which is to grow. This means going beyond consigning “people development” to high-potential programs, executive coaching, or once-a-year off-sites. It means fashioning an organizational culture in which support of people’s development is woven into the daily fabric of working life and the company’s regular operations, daily routines, and conversations.An Everyone Culture dives deep into the worlds of three leading companies that embody this breakthrough approach. It reveals the design principles, concrete practices, and underlying science at the heart of DDOs-from their disciplined approach to giving feedback, to how they use meetings, to the distinctive way that managers and leaders define their roles. The authors then show readers how to build this developmental culture in their own organizations.This book demonstrates a whole new way of being at work. It suggests that the culture you create is your strategy-and that the key to success is developing everyone. Review 800-CEO-READ “Best Business Book for 2016,” Longlist“This book speaks to the heart of what I believe: Our work environments are the perfect learning laboratories. Our focus needs to not just be on individual learning, but also on building the processes, tools, and organizational system for learning to take place-and stick.” - Melissa Daimler, Senior Vice President, Talent Acquisition and Development, WeWork“If you want to stay on the cutting edge of how our culture thinks about work, you might browse Rob Kegan and Lisa Laheys latest book, An Everyone Culture: Becoming a Deliberately Developmental Organization, which will urge you to measure the meaning of your work not by how much you like or value it, but by how much it makes you grow up, and past the edge of your current limits.” - The Advertiser (Australia)“Could it be that workplaces can become the ultimate forum to help people become greater than they think possible? Read this book to find out.” - Conscious Company Magazine“This book is as much about realizing organisational potential, as it is about realizing human potential. No business leader, at any level, should miss this one.” - Fin24 (South Africa)“Kegan and Laskow thoroughly analyze what they perceive to be the benefits of radical transparency through case studies on hedge fund giant Bridgewater, ecommerce company Next Jump, and real estate company Decurion.” - Business Insider (businessinsider ), Summer Reading List“Kegan and Lahey (Harvard Univ.) incorporate adult-developmental theory to enhance organizational profitability, improve honesty in communications, reduce political maneuvering, and increase solutions to intractable problems.” - Choice magazine“Rather than seeking competitive advantage in a company’s products or strategy…Kegan, Lahey, and their colleagues believe an edge can be found in the ability of corporations to develop adults as humans.…they develop the argument by parachuting us into three existing DDOs, all of which serve as highly effecti...

-Titulo Original : Resonant Leadership Renewing Yourself And Connecting With Others Through Mindfulness, Hope, And Compassion-Fabricante : Harvard Business Review Press-Descripcion Original: Review Unlike most other books, Resonant Leadership undersells itself. With easy justification, the authors or their editors at Harvard Business School Press could have applied a more expansive moniker like Secrets of Enduring Leaders, or How to Deal with Burnout, or perhaps even Being Happy at Work. The works modest title, though, takes nothing away from its grand ambition: to explain what makes leaders effective amid unrelentingly stressful situations. The authors, Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee, will be familiar to many businesspeople and management theorists. They collaborated with Daniel Goleman on the bestselling Primal Leadership, which extended Golemans seminal work on emotional intelligence, and explained how EQ, not just IQ, underpins success in guiding and directing organizations. With this latest book, Boyatzis and McKee have continued developing their holistic view of management. Its an attractive one. Resonant Leadership begins with recognition of leaders essential humanity and analyzes the physical, mental, and emotional triggers that make men and women strong or weak as leaders. As readers might expect from an HBS Press offering, Boyatzis and McKees methodology is appropriately academic, with extensive footnotes and research citations, but it also uses a nice blend of anecdotes from their field work as consultants, and is expressed through decidedly touchy-feely language. What emerges is a highly engaging, readable work that takes business audiences into somewhat unusual psychological territory, far beyond the usual bar charts and spreadsheets. The books organization is simple. Boyatzis and McKee start by describing the highly stressful conditions in which leaders operate today, and explain sympathetically how many well-intentioned people fall into what they call dissonance due to burnout. Whereas the authors earlier book focused on the initial ingredients for leadership effectiveness, their interest now is in ongoing, enduring resonance--leaders who can be effective today, but also maintain their edge into tomorrow, as well. Resonant Leadership thus moves from this initial exposition of problems--management ineffectiveness, and/or burnout--to solutions. The authors anchor their prescription around three core qualities which they believe resonant leaders must continually cultivate: mindfulness, hope, and compassion. These may sound like ephemeral concepts, but they form the touchstone of Resonant Leadership and are cited again and again. Readers of Boyatzis and McKees latest--whether already-strong leaders looking to maintain their effectiveness, or burned-out ones aiming to get back in the proverbial saddle--will find this is a thought-provoking read. --Peter Han The blockbuster best seller Primal Leadership introduced us to resonant leaders--individuals who manage their own and others emotions in ways that drive success. Leaders everywhere recognized the validity of resonant leadership, but struggled with how to achieve and sustain resonance amid the relentless demands of work and life. Now, Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee provide an indispensable guide to overcoming the vicious cycle of stress, sacrifice, and dissonance that afflicts many leaders. Drawing from extensive multidisciplinary research and real-life stories, Resonant Leadership offers a field-tested framework for creating the resonance that fuels great leadership. Rather than constantly sacrificing themselves to workplace demands, leaders can manage the cycle using specific techniques to combat stress, avoid burnout, and renew themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally. The book reveals that the path to resonance is through mindfulness, hope, and compassion and shows how intentionally employing these qualities creates effective and enduring leadership. Great leaders are resonant leaders. Resonant Leadership offers the inspiration--and tools--to spark and sustain resonance...

Later chapters provide a brief monetary history of the United States as well as the basics of macroeconomic accounting. You’ll learn why countries trade, why exchange rates move, and what makes an economy grow.Moss’s detailed examples will arm you with a clear picture of how the economy works and how key variables impact business and will equip you to anticipate and respond to major macroeconomic events, such as a sudden depreciation of the real exchange rate or a steep hike in the federal funds rate.Read this book from start to finish for a complete overview of macroeconomics, or use it as a reference when you’re confronted with specific challenges, like the need to make sense of monetary policy or to read a balance of payments statement.
