revolución del sentido, La: El poder del liderazgo transcendente

El enfoque revolucionario de Fred sobre liderazgo comienza con un impulso poco convencional: el miedo a la muerte. ¿Qué tienen en común la ansiedad con la creación de la eficiencia organizacional? ¡Mucho! Un libro que combina lo práctico con lo existencial, te ayudará a infundir significado y dignidad en tu vida y tu trabajo. Fred muestra un camino hacia el liderazgo trascendente al analizar ejemplos del mundo real de empresas sin dirección y experiencias de servicio al cliente que han resultado terriblemente mal, que abarcan desde la desastrosa administración de Marissa Meyer en Yahoo! al infame representante de servicio al cliente de Comcast que pensaba que estaba haciendo bien su trabajo al negarse obstinadamente a cancelar la cuenta de cable de un suscriptor. Este libro cambiará tu forma de pensar: tu trabajo no es tu trabajo, no es suficiente hacer tu mejor esfuerzo y triunfar. Aprenderás a descubrir tu propio significado y serás capaz de animar a otros a alcanzar un propósito noble. El enfoque de liderazgo de Fred es una mezcla de economía y teoría empresarial, en parte compuesto de comunicación y capacitación en resolución de conflictos, parte consejería familiar, parte meditación y consideración. ¿Qué se puede esperar de un graduado de Berkeley que realiza retiros de silencio que duran un mes? Fred ha enseñado y presentado su investigación en numerosas instituciones académicas, incluyendo Sloan School of Management de MIT, donde fue nombrado Profesor del año, y en la Universidad de Harvard.

The Meaning Revolution: The Power of Transcendent Leadership

Advisor of Leadership at Google and former vice president of leadership at LinkedIn claims that the biggest driver of motivation is the chance to serve a larger purpose beyond our careers and ourselves, rather than salary, benefits, bonuses, or other material incentives; companies that are able to successfully focus their people, their teams, and their culture around meaning outperform their competition. Fred Kofman's approach to leadership has little to do with the standard practices taught in business school and traditional books. Bringing together economics and business theory, communications and conflict resolution, family counseling and mindfulness mediation, Kofman argues in The Meaning Revolution that our most deep-seated, unspoken, and universal anxiety stems from our fear that our life is being wasted--that the end of life will overtake us when our song is still unsung. Material incentives--salary and benefits--account for perhaps 15 percent of employees' motivation at work. The other 85 percent is driven by a need to belong, a feeling that what we do day in and day out makes a difference, that how we spend our time on earth serves a larger purpose beyond just ourselves. Kofman claims that transcendental leaders, wherever they are in the hierarchy, are able to put aside their self-interests and help others to feel connected with others on a team or in an organization on a great mission and part of an ennobling purpose. He argues that every organization involved in work that is nonviolent and non addictive has what he calls an 'immortality project' at its core. And the challenge for leaders is to identify and expand on that core, to inspire all stakeholders to take part.

The Meaning Revolution: Leading with the Power of Purpose

Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Meaning Revolution, written and read by Fred Kofman with a foreword by Reid Hoffman read by Arthur Morey. Forget the standard practices of leadership taught in business school -- all about compensation, command and control. This is a new model for how to inspire -- through purpose, principle and people. The Meaning Revolution is Fred Kofman's call to arms for anyone who has ever felt unengaged at work and offers actionable advice for how we can all find more meaning and dignity whatever we do. Bringing together economics and conflict resolution, counselling and mindfulness, Kofman explains how our most deep-seated anxiety is that we are wasting our lives. The things that we think matter -- salaries and job titles -- actually only account for 15% of our motivation at work. The other 85% is about how we belong, feeling we make a difference, that we serve a purpose larger than ourselves. Transformative leadership is about helping employees feel connected to a great mission or purpose, and discovering the 'immortality project' at the core of your business. 'One of the most extraordinary thinkers on leadership and management I have ever encountered'- Sheryl Sandberg
