Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - A blueprint for managing people, not generationsUnfairly Labeled challenges the very concept of 'generational differences' as an unfair generalization, and offers a roadmap to intergenerational understanding. While acknowledging that generational stereotypes exist, author Jessica Kriegel argues that they are wrong--and that it's unreasonable to assume that the millions of people born in the same 20-year time span are motivated by the same things, attracted to the same things, and should be dealt with in the same way. Kriegel's experience as Organizational Developer at Oracle puts her squarely in the talent strategy realm, where she works to optimize leadership development, team effectiveness, and organizational design. Drawing upon her experiences with workers of all ages and types, she shows how behaviors know no generational boundaries and how to work with people based on their talents, strengths, and weaknesses rather than simply slapping on a generational label and fitting them into an arbitrary slot.There are 80 million Millenials in America, yet there are myriad books on 'managing Millenials' and 'working with Millenials' and 'the problem with Millenials.' This book shows that whether you're working with Millenials, Generation X, or Baby Boomers, age is not the issue--it's the interpersonal dynamics that matter most.\* Examine the concept of 'generational issues'\* Explore the disparate reality of each 20-year generational span\* Learn to understand and work effectively with other generations\* Facilitate intergenerational understanding sessionsThe human mind craves categorization, so the tendency to lump people together is natural. It may, however, be holding your organization back. The members of each generation have only one thing in common--their age--and even that varies by two whole decades. Why assume that they should all be managed the same way Unfairly Labeled shows you a better way, and provides a roadmap to a more effective organizational strategy. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Off-centered Leadership reveals an innovative approach to leadership and shows what can happen when companies stop competing and start collaborating both in the marketplace and within their organizations. Drawing on unconventional entrepreneurship and leadership lessons, this remarkable resource is filled with game-changing advice and illustrative examples from someone who has been there. By developing an organization built on communication, trust, and alignment, Sam Calagione-a brash, punk-rock loving, English major-transformed his pint-sized, tiny 12-gallon brewpub into Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, one of the nation's fastest growing independent breweries. Written in his highly entertaining style, Calagione shows how direct competitors and small, indie businesses can work together to reach a common goal. Calagione rejected the traditional marketing approach and developed an inventive business model that called on musicians, community organizations, and even other breweries to keep Dogfish Head's product development fresh and create engaging customer experiences. Off-centered Leadership delves into the struggles Sam Calagione and his team dealt with when his company matured from an awkward, early start-up to a sustainable company with hundreds of coworkers. As is typical of most entrepreneurs, in the beginning Calagione oversaw almost every detail of his business. As his company expanded he was able to give up his micromanagement approach and call on others to inspire his company's growth. In candid terms, Calagione explains how he handled the changing leadership-from being the sole creative, strategic director to being one of many people to influence the nature of the company. Today, Dogfish Head is a thriving company with a diverse leadership team and a robust, holistic approach-all while maintaining the company's innovation and signature off-centered culture. Drawing on the book's myriad examples and hard-won lessons, any business can learn the fundamentals of inter-company collaboration. It begins with making sure everyone is speaking the same language and working from the same foundation. At many companies, that foundation eventually gets translated into statements and documents that are the playbook for the company. Off-centered Leadership is about sharing, updating, prioritizing, and realizing the philosophies embodied in a company's DNA. Tap into Dogfish Head's 'collaboration over competition' approach to foster positivity, productivity, and ongoing success. Sam Calagione's new book, Off-centered Leadership gives any leader the practical information that will go a long way to increase innovation, company growth, and customer engagement.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Profit doesn't drive purpose. Purpose drives profit. We made some incorrect assumptions about work and those assumptions are killing us. We allowed a narrative that is solely about earnings to replace what we know to be true about human motivation. Human beings are hardwired to seek purpose, but according to data, most people don't feel a sense of purpose in their work. Work has become a grind, an endless series of tasks that lack meaning. Building upon her bestseller Selling with Noble Purpose, leadership expert Lisa Earle McLeod tackles the employee engagement crisis by showing leaders how to put workplace meaning front and center. McLeod, whose clients include organizations like Google, Hootsuite, and Roche, asserts that many organizations are unconsciously squandering their greatest asset-their people's passion. By putting profit before purpose, organizations eroded the very thing that makes a business great. The narrative of profit, earnings, and bonuses was supposed to improve employee performance, but it had the opposite effect. It stripped the joy and meaning from work in ways that have a chilling effect on morale, performance, and ultimately profit. In this new book, McLeod shows leaders how to: - Win the hearts and minds of employees, clients, and stakeholders through a Noble Sales Purpose - Reframe your approach to metrics so that they accelerate performance - Create a tribe of True Believers who drive revenue and do honorable work People want to make money and make a difference. Leading with Noble Purpose shows leaders how to do both.…
