Ledelse: lederskab og motivation

Den store præstation er en bog om, hvad der skal til, for at danskerne igen begynder at gøre sig umage og mærker glæden, når den store præstation er ambitionen og målet! Sådan er det ikke i dag. Danmark er blevet et gennemsnitsland! Vi rækker ikke længere ud efter det  ypperste og det excellente – efter stjernerne og drømmene, og vi skal passe på, at vi ikke mister lysten og modet til at gøre en forskel i den globale verden.Den store præstation er praktik. I mødet med en række markante high performere inden for sport, kunst, videnskab og erhvervsliv, som dagligt arbejder med at få mennesker til at præstere bedre, giver forfatterne deres bud på, hvordan man ud fra nogle få anbefalinger kan skabe mere værdi og bedre resultater.  Bogen tilbyder viden og konkrete redskaber til ledere og alle andre, som ønsker at skabe den store præstation i fællesskab med andre. En af dens hovedpointer er, at „godt nok“ ikke er et svar, der matcher de udfordringer, Danmark og verden i denne tid står over for.

Ledere overalt i verden – i både offentlige og private organisationer – er optagede af at bygge bro mellem deres organisationers mål og visioner på den ene side og medarbejdernes engagerede indsats på den anden. Der er ingen tvivl om, at ”katedral-byggere” præsterer, udvikler sig og trives langt bedre end ”stenhuggere”.Måske, fordi det er et menneske ligt grundbehov at søge mening? Måske, fordi en god vision skaber fællesskab? Eller måske, fordi det er superfedt at være god til at hugge sten, når man står og skal bygge en katedral?I denne bog viser vi, hvordan udviklingsdialoger med stor effekt kan anvendes til at styrke medarbejdernes oplevelse af at få dækket deres grundlæggende behov for mening, mestring, tilhør og autonomi, så de både kan og vil bidrage til at realisere organisationens vision – frugterne af alt arbejdet.

Bogen udfordrer vor tids ledere til at udvikle et langtidsholdbart lederskab og skabe menneskelige arbejdspladser. Med udgangspunkt i syv teser udfoldes det langtidsholdbare lederskab i bogens syv kapitler med henblik på at skabe refleksioner og drøftelser af centrale temaer vedrørende bæredygtigt lederliv og langtidsholdbarhed i arbejdslivet. Gennem erfaringer, oplevelser og historier koblet med teoretiske indsigter og praktiske modeller inddrages læseren og udfordres til at gøre sig sine egne refleksioner om langtidsholdbarhed i lederlivet.Bogen insisterer på at ville gøre en forskel i lederes liv, så de, der læser den, drager konsekvenser af refleksionerne og tage skridt i retning af langtidsholdbarhed. Derfor afrundes hvert kapitel med et praksisafsnit, der indeholder konkrete refleksionsmodeller, arbejdsformer, tjeklister, vejledninger og inspiration til at omsætte refleksionerne til praksis på vej mod langtidsholdbarhed – i det personlige lederskab og på arbejdspladsen blandt kolleger og medarbejdere.Bogen kan indgå i lederuddannelser, bruges i lederteams og ledernetværk samt danne baggrund for drøftelser på lederseminarer og lederkonferencer.Forfatteren, Lars Peter Nielsen, er teolog, master i organisationspsykologi og ledelsesrådgiver. Siden 2008 har han med udgangspunkt i Annexet i Odense drevet konsulentvirksomheden Reflex, som er specialiseret i at arbejde med refleksion, dialogisk samspil og kreative processer blandt ledere og i organisationer.

FØDT LEDER - TI ANSIGTER PÅ NUTIDIG LEDELSE er en ledelsesbog af Jørgen Kvist. Bogen er til dig, der er leder og har brug for ny inspiration. Dig, der overvejer at blive leder. Dig, der ikke orker at læse flere teoretiske ledelsesbøger. Dig, der har brug for ferielæsning eller en receptionsgave.Ti visionære ledere deler deres unikke bud på, hvad der er god ledelse, og hvad der skaber resultater. De kender teorierne og udlever dem i praksis. Fra hver deres kontekst gør de sig refleksioner over deres handlinger og deler ud af erfaringer. Gennem ti dybdegående samtaler får vi sat ansigter på overvejelser og dilemmaer i lederrollen.

Global opvarmning. Kunstig intelligens. Fake news. Demokratier i forfald. Krige og kriser. Menneskeheden står overfor mange og store udfordringer i det 21. århundrede. Udfordringer, som det kommer til at kræve menneskelig toppræstation at løse. Men hvordan leder man mennesker til toppræstation? I ”Ukold” giver vi doubleyou’s svar. Det er baseret på ekspertindsigt, årelang erfaring og utallige cases i sport, erhvervsliv, kunst og politik. Arenaerne er forskellige. Opskriften den samme. Præstationsledelse har alt for længe været kold og kynisk: Nogle ledere har drevet rovdrift på det menneskelige potentiale. Alene med blik for at tjene penge og forbedre sin egen position. Andre ledere – særligt i sportens verden – har været ekstremt hårde og brutale, fordi de har troet, at det var vejen til udvikling og resultater. Vi tror på, at fremtidens præstationsledelse er helt anderledes varm og vis. Vi viser, at menneskelig toppræstation kræver psykologisk trygge miljøer, hvor mennesker tør sætte deres fulde potentiale i spil. Miljøer, hvor alle er motiverede og klar over det større formål, der arbejdes ind i, og hvor mennesker både kan og vil levere unikke toppræstationer. Igen og igen. Det kræver varme og vise ledere. Og vi er overbeviste om, at det er netop dem, der kommer til at løse det 21. århundredes største udfordringer.

De digitale teknologier udvikler sig konstant, og deres potentiale vokser.Det er du som topleder nødt til at forholde dig til. Ellers vokser gabet mellem, hvad du kan, og hvad du forventes at kunne, sig for stort. Du skal kunne modne din organisation digitalt, så I ser teknologierne som en strategisk fordel, der kan transformere jeres strategi, organisation og dit eget lederskab.MIND THE GAP forklarer, hvordan du ved at forstå den digitale udvikling som 6 generationer, der følger hinanden og rummer hver deres muligheder og udfordringer, kan modne og transformere din virksomhed eller organisation og blive ved at være relevant og skabe vækst.Bogen er en håndbog, der med to sammenhængende modeller – ”Generationstrappen for digital modenhed” og ”Organisatoriske kapabiliteter til digital transformation” – giver dig en dybere forståelse af teknologiernes muligheder, og hvordan du eksekverer og gør mulighederne til virkelighed.Forfatter Pernille Kræmmergaard er direktør og grundlægger af DI2X – Digitaliseringsinstituttet, digital vismand samt tidligere professor ved AAU og gæsteprofessor ved ITU. Hendes forskning igennem mere end 25 år er formidlet i blandt andet bøgerne "Digital transformation" (2019) og "Digital modenhed" (2021), som bogen delvist bygger på.

¿In dem Buch wird auf einen bislang in der Forschung vernachlässigten Aspekt sozialer Kommunikation aufmerksam gemacht: das unmittelbare Erleben in Kommunikation. Dieses Erleben erfolgt vorbewusst und leibbezogen. Es ist auch für die Ebene bewussten Verhaltens in Kommunikation bestimmend. Die grundlegende Bedeutung dieser Unmittelbarkeit für ein vertieftes Verständnis von Kommunikation wird herausgearbeitet und am Beispiel von Coaching veranschaulicht. Die Erfassung dieser Unmittelbarkeit bedarf einer neuen Darstellungsmethode. Diese kann sich an den Texten Siegfried Kracauers orientieren.

True authenticity comes from living in your heart, not in your head. Inspiring people aren't necessarily born that way. Often, they are the ones who make their own paths, who spend more time on rock bottom than on top of the world, and who are open with their stories and love to give others a hand toward their goals.Author James Protin hasn't always considered himself to be inspiring ... or even someone you would want to grab a coffee with. But placing one foot in front of the other, he has walked through the darkest times in his life-divorce, bankruptcy, depression, and job loss, to name a few-and wants to share what he discovered about life, about himself, and about our place in the world.This book is a collection of lessons learned, motivational thoughts, and stories culled from the good and bad experiences of his life so you can feel your way through your own life. It's based on the five pillars of leadership that James's father taught him by "sitting in his chair"-by taking the time to advise and inspire because it mattered.In this book, you'll discover how you too can be-Brave enough to truly live.Open enough to truly love.Humble enough to truly learn.Connected enough to truly pray.Vulnerable enough to truly inspire.All the things that make life worth living and help you be a true leader. Whether you already know that you want to lead with heart or you are just trying to find your way up from rock bottom, you'll love letting James sit in your chair to help you be more.
