What Anyone Can Do: How Surrounding Yourself with the Right People Will Drive Change, Opportunity, a

In his 1976 book The Long Run Solution, Joe Henderson suggested that becoming truly accomplished at running (or at anything) doesn't typically require us to perform superhuman feats. In fact, success is frequently realized by those who simply do the things anyone can do that most of us never will. In What Anyone Can Do, with the help of Leo Bottary's Year of the Peer podcast guests, you'll discover that if you surround yourself with the right people, you'll do the things anyone can do far more often. And when you do that, you and the people around you will realize more of what you want out of business and life. It's that simple. The Power of Peers (2016) made a strong case for how and why formal peer groups are so effective. This book steps outside the formal peer group arena to examine all the important relationships we have in our lives (parents, teachers, spouses, mentors, children, mentees, etc.) and provides a practical approach and specific framework for harnessing their power for your benefit (and theirs). It's what anyone can do. You're anyone, right?

Objectives and Key Results: Driving Focus, Alignment, and Engagement with OKRs

Objectives and Key Results is the first full-fledged reference guide on Objectives and Key Results, a critical thinking framework designed to help organizations create value through focus, alignment, and better communication. Written by two leading OKRs consultants and researchers, this book provides a one-stop resource for organizations looking to quantify qualitative goals. You'll learn how OKRs came to be and how leading companies use them every day to help teams and employees stretch their thinking about what's possible, build their goal-setting muscles, and achieve results that reflect their full potential. OKRs help employees work together, focus effort, and drive the organization forward. Key results are used to define what it means to achieve broad, qualitative goals, and imperatives like "do it better" are transformed into clear, measureable markers. From the framework's inception in the 1980s to its popularity in today's hyper-competitive environment, OKRs make work more engaging and feature frequent feedback cycles that enable workers to see the progress they make at work each and every day. This book shows you everything you need to know to implement OKRs effectively.

The Polymath: Unlocking the Power of Human Versatility

Every human is born with multifarious potential. Why, then, do parents, schools and employers insist that we restrict our many talents and interests; that we 'specialize' in just one? We've been sold a myth, that to 'specialize' is the only way to pursue truth, identity, or even a livelihood. Yet specialization is nothing but an outdated system that fosters ignorance, exploitation, and disillusionment and thwarts creativity, opportunity, and progress. Following a series of exchanges with the world's greatest historians, futurists, philosophers, and scientists, Waqas Ahmed has weaved together a narrative of history and a vision for the future that seeks to disrupt this prevailing system of unwarranted 'hyper-specialization.' In The Polymath, Waqas shows us that there is another way of thinking and being. Through an approach that is both philosophical and practical, he sets out a cognitive journey towards reclaiming your innate polymathic state. Going further, he proposes nothing less than a cultural revolution in our education and professional structures, whereby everyone is encouraged to express themselves in multiple ways and fulfill their many-sided potential.

Quantum Leadership: New Consciousness in Business

In this new book, Frederick Chavalit Tsao and Chris Laszlo argue that current approaches to leadership fail to produce positive outcomes for either businesses or the communities they serve. Employee disengagement and customer fickleness remain high, resulting in a lack of creativity and collaboration at all levels of entrepreneurial activity. Investor demand for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) continues to be poorly integrated into profit strategies. Drawing on extensive research, this book shows how changing a person's consciousness is the most powerful lever for unlocking his or her leadership potential to create wealth and serve humankind. A wide range of practices of connectedness provide the keys. The journey to higher consciousness changes people at a deep intuitive level, combining embodied experience with analytic-cognitive skill development. Tsao and Laszlo show how leaders who pursue this journey are more likely to flourish with significant benefits to both business and society. These include greater creativity and collaboration along with an increased capability to inspire people and produce lasting change. Listeners will come away with a deep understanding of quantum leadership and the day-to-day practices that can help them achieve greater effectiveness and well-being at work.

Descansa

Para la mayoría de nosotros, el exceso de trabajo es la nueva normalidad. En nuestras ajetreadas vidas, el descanso se define como la ausencia de trabajo o aquello que hacemos cuando hemos terminado toda nuestra lista de tareas pendientes; pero generalmente estás tan cansado para disfrutar de esos momentos que terminas enganchado durante horas a la televisión por la noche o navegando por internet sin saber muy bien lo que estás buscando, simplemente dejándote llevar.Según su autor, Alex Pang, famoso consultor de Silicon Valley, podemos ser más exitosos en todas las áreas de nuestra vida al reconocer la importancia del descanso: trabajar mejor no significa trabajar más, sino trabajar menos, de forma más productiva y descansar mejor. Tratar el descanso como una actividad pasiva secundaria al trabajo mina nuestras posibilidades de una vida gratificante y significativa. Descansa derriba todo lo que nuestra cultura nos ha enseñado sobre el trabajo y muestra que sólo descansando mejor podemos empezar a vivir mejor. Grabado en español ibérico (España).

7 Rules for Positive, Productive Change: Micro Shifts, Macro Results

Change is difficult but essential-Esther Derby offers seven guidelines for change by attraction, an approach that draws people into the process so that instead of resisting change, they embrace it. Even if you don't have change management in your job description, your job involves change. Change is a given as modern organizations respond to market and technology advances, make improvements, and evolve practices to meet new challenges. This is not a simple process on any level. Often, there is no indisputable right answer, and responding requires trial and error, learning and unlearning. Whatever you choose to do, it will interact with existing policies and structures in unpredictable ways. And there is, quite simply, a natural human resistance to being told to change. Rather than creating more rigorous preconceived plans or imposing change by decree, agile software developer turned organizational change expert Esther Derby offers change by attraction, an approach that is adaptive and responsive and engages people in learning, evolving, and owning the new way. She presents a set of seven heuristics-guides to problem-solving-that empower people to achieve outcomes within broad constraints using their personal ingenuity and creativity. When you work by attraction, you give space and support for people to feel the loss that comes with change and help them see what is valuable about the future you propose. Resistance fades because people feel there is nothing to push against-only something they want to move toward. Derby's approach clears the fog to provide a new way forward that honors people and creates safety for change.

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger: Führen ohne Hierarchie. Das Netlight-Prinzip der Un-Führung

'Führung ist eine Gabe, keine Rolle' So das Selbstverständnis von Erik Ringertz, dem Gründer des schwedischen Vorzeigeunternehmens Netlight. Das hierarchiefreie Unternehmen, das nur einen CEO hat, weil es das Gesetz so will, berät die größten der Großen in Sachen IT und Digitalisierung. Dabei zeigt sich, dass der Hidden Champion mit seinem Ansatz der Un-Führung produktiver und kreativer ist als manch durchstrukturierter Konzern. Das mag nach Un-Fug klingen, aber das Credo vom organischen Wachstum durch seine Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter macht Netlight zu einem der attraktivsten Arbeitgeber der Branche. Etablierte Unternehmen wie populäre Start-ups könnten sich hier eine Scheibe abschneiden: Man kann hip und erfolgreich sein, ohne sich und andere auszupressen!

Once your life at work is more organized, you will feel more fulfilled, happier, and more in control of your day-to-day activities.

Conciliar vida profesional y personal

Las dos dimensiones de nuestra vida, el desarrollo laboral y profesional por un lado y por el otro la plena realización de las necesidades y deseos personales de nuestra existencia, han entrado en colisión en los últimos tiempos. Resolver esta cuestión es uno de los ejes que nos dará equilibrio como seres humano y muestra la evolución de las organizaciones en las que nos movemos. El tema es complejo. El hombre y la mujer necesitan, por razones económicas y psicológicas, crecer en el ámbito laboral lo que sin duda implica un proceso altamente demandante. Pero también anhelan disponer de energías suficientes para su dimensión personal, que no solo está referida a su familia sino a una variedad de intereses y sueños. La cuestión es cómo conciliar, tal como dice Martha Alles, todos estos requerimientos. Martha Alles, de reconocida trayectoria en el campo de los recursos humanos, encara en esta obra la cuestión, abarcándola desde la perspectiva de la persona individual y desde la visión de las organizaciones en las cuales las personas trabajan y se desarrollan. El problema es una moneda con dos caras. Su existencia afecta a cada individuo pero también a las organizaciones que integran. Como sugiere el título, este trabajo puede ser leído en clave organizacional e individual. La primera, a su vez, puede subdividerse y comprender a un especialista en recursos humanos deseoso de conocer las buenas prácticas en la materia, a un alto directivo, especialmente un CEO, gerente general o presidente de una compañía, que esté preocupado por el tema, o bien a un jefe ubicado en la mitad de la estructura que debe lidiar a diaro con la problemática. La mirada individual también suma varios enfoques, aun de personas que no trabajan y que deben armonizar diferentes intereses y quehaceres. Una vez más Martha Alles aborda un tema de candente actualidad y de dificil solución, aportando su experiencia y su conocimienito en el campo de los recursos humanos, para entregarnos un material de reflexión y una guía para la acción práctica, que nos ayudará a armonizar dos dimensiones de nuestra vida.
