Ledelse: lederskab og motivation

"Now with additional chapters and guidance on hybrid workplaces, this foundational bestseller has new rules and timeless insights for leading others at a distance. Leadership First, Location Second. As more organizations adopt a remote workforce, the challenges of leading at a distance become more urgent than ever. The cofounders of the Remote Leadership Institute, Kevin Eikenberry and Wayne Turmel, show leaders how to guide their teams by recalling the foundational principles of leadership whether their teams are scattered globally or just working from home a few days a week. To make leadership happen today we must rely more on technology and far less on face-to face communication. This can make the work of leaders and team members more isolating, frustrating, and stressful. This book is for motivated leaders who want to get a handle on their remote work and teams. The book is built around the authors' 3O model: Ourselves, Others, and Outcomes. They explain how to cultivate the mindset and attitude needed to lead oneself effectively at a distance; how to engage others when you're not physically present; and what processes and tools to use to make sure dispersed teams achieve the desired outcomes. In some ways the job of a leader has changed less than we think. Leadership is leadership and people are people. But (and it is a pretty big but) how we do it needs to evolve if we want the results and outcomes our organizations demand, leaders need, and their team members deserve"--

A must-read for top executives seeking to break patterns of frustration and breach around cybersecurity and a precious management summary to the "Cybersecurity Leadership Handbook for the CISO and the CEO"

The entrepreneur Time magazine called "the Bad Boy of banking" is back with crucial insights about the importance of business culture in a dizzyingly complex global marketplace. In business, breaking rules is easy. What's really hard is what comes next: building the right company culture -- the lifeblood of effective leadership. In a complex, 24-7 globalized marketplace, how do you answer the question "Who are we?" Culture-driven leadership is as much about the why as the how. Long-term and short-term. Reacting and reflecting. It means identifying, creating, and sustaining a company culture. For a culture-driven leader, spending time "above the clouds," or finding the sweet spot of perspective, can make all the difference. Entrepreneur and pioneering financial services CEO Arkadi Kuhlmann offers a seasoned antidote to navigating blind through our increasingly competitive landscape. Drawing on ten key principles from his time at ING Direct and his many years' experience on the front lines of innovative customer-focused leadership, Kuhlmann explores real-world leadership challenges and both the bullseyes and missteps of Disney's Robert Iger and Starbucks's Howard Schultz, as well as Elon Musk, Richard Branson, and others. Kuhlmann makes a compelling case for how leaders can use the right culture to meet the formidable challenges that lie ahead. In the end, it's about making leadership count. And making a difference.
