The lack of personal accountability is a problem that has resulted in an epidemic of blame, victim thinking, complaining, and procrastination. No organization-or individual-can successfully compete in the marketplace, achieve goals and objectives, provide outstanding service, engage in exceptional teamwork, or develop people without personal accountability. John G. Miller believes that the troubles that plague organizations cannot be solved by pointing fingers and blaming others. Rather, the real solutions are found when each of us recognizes the power of personal accountability. In QBQ! The Question Behind the Question®, Miller explains how negative, ill-focused questions like "Why do we have to go through all this change?" and "Who dropped the ball?" represent a lack of personal accountability. Conversely, when we ask better questions-QBQs-such as "What can I do to contribute?" or "How can I help solve the problem?" our lives and our organizations are transformed.THE QBQ! PROMISEThis remarkable and timely book provides a practical method for putting personal accountability into daily actions, with astonishing results: problems are solved, internal barriers come down, service improves, teams thrive, and people adapt to change more quickly. QBQ! is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to learn, grow, and change. Using this tool, each of us can add tremendous worth to our organizations and to our lives by eliminating blame, victim-thinking, and procrastination. QBQ! was written more than a decade ago and has helped countless readers practice personal accountability at work and at home. This version features a new foreword, revisions and new material throughout, and a section of FAQs that the author has received over the years.

By the winner of the 1988 Nobel Prize in Economics, an essential and paradigm-altering framework for understanding economic development--for both rich and poor--in the twenty-first century. Freedom, Sen argues, is both the end and most efficient means of sustaining economic life and the key to securing the general welfare of the world's entire population. Releasing the idea of individual freedom from association with any particular historical, intellectual, political, or religious tradition, Sen clearly demonstrates its current applicability and possibilities. In the new global economy, where, despite unprecedented increases in overall opulence, the contemporary world denies elementary freedoms to vast numbers--perhaps even the majority of people--he concludes, it is still possible to practically and optimistically restain a sense of social accountability. Development as Freedom is essential reading.

Wall Street Journal Bestseller2022 Genesis Prize LaureateThe exclusive, first-hand, behind-the-scenes story of how Pfizer raced to create the first Covid-19 vaccine, told by Pfizer's Chairman and CEO Dr. Albert Bourla.A riveting, fast-paced, inside look at one of the most incredible private sector achievements in history, Moonshot recounts the intensive nine months in 2020 when the scientists at Pfizer, under the visionary leadership of Dr. Albert Bourla, made ?the impossible possible??creating, testing, and manufacturing a safe and effective Covid-19 vaccine that previously would have taken years to develop. Dr. Bourla chronicles how the brilliant, dedicated minds at Pfizer, under the enormous strains of the global pandemic, overcame a series of crises that were compounded by social and political unrest, and reveals the doubts, decisions, obstacles, and failures they encountered. As Dr. Bourla makes clear, Pfizer's success wasn't due to luck; it was because of preparation driven by four simple values?Courage, Excellence, Equity, and Joy.Moonshot is a story of leadership under the most unprecedented circumstances?how Dr. Bourla, a Greek immigrant, a child of Holocaust survivors, and a veterinarian, became the head of one of the world's largest corporations and initiated a dramatic transformation of the organization just before a global health crisis would serve to test the organization, its scientists, and its leader, like never before. Moonshot describes best practices that can be used to address the multiple, unprecedented challenges our world faces, reveals Pfizer's implementation of scientific breakthroughs at a record-breaking pace, and offers leadership lessons that can help anyone successfully manage their own seemingly unsolvable problems. As Dr. Bourla explains, ?I am sharing the story of our moonshot?the challenges we faced, the lessons we learned, and the core values that allowed us to make it happen?in hopes that it might inspire and inform your own moonshot, whatever that may be.?

The book that shows how to get the job done and deliver results . . . whether you're running an entire company or in your first management job Larry Bossidy is one of the world's most acclaimed CEOs, a man with few peers who has a track record for delivering results. Ram Charan is a legendary advisor to senior executives and boards of directors, a man with unparalleled insight into why some companies are successful and others are not. Together they've pooled their knowledge and experience into the one book on how to close the gap between results promised and results delivered that people in business need today. After a long, stellar career with General Electric, Larry Bossidy transformed AlliedSignal into one of the world's most admired companies and was named CEO of the year in 1998 by Chief Executive magazine. Accomplishments such as 31 consecutive quarters of earnings-per-share growth of 13 percent or more didn't just happen; they resulted from the consistent practice of the discipline of execution: understanding how to link together people, strategy, and operations, the three core processes of every business. Leading these processes is the real job of running a business, not formulating a "vision" and leaving the work of carrying it out to others. Bossidy and Charan show the importance of being deeply and passionately engaged in an organization and why robust dialogues about people, strategy, and operations result in a business based on intellectual honesty and realism. The leader's most important job-selecting and appraising people-is one that should never be delegated. As a CEO, Larry Bossidy personally makes the calls to check references for key hires. Why? With the right people in the right jobs, there's a leadership gene pool that conceives and selects strategies that can be executed. People then work together to create a strategy building block by building block, a strategy in sync with the realities of the marketplace, the economy, and the competition. Once the right people and strategy are in place, they are then linked to an operating process that results in the implementation of specific programs and actions and that assigns accountability. This kind of effective operating process goes way beyond the typical budget exercise that looks into a rearview mirror to set its goals. It puts reality behind the numbers and is where the rubber meets the road. Putting an execution culture in place is hard, but losing it is easy. In July 2001 Larry Bossidy was asked by the board of directors of Honeywell International (it had merged with AlliedSignal) to return and get the company back on track. He's been putting the ideas he writes about in Execution to work in real time.

Asger Sørensen går på universitetet er en skrapbog fra ti års voldsomme omvæltninger i den danske forskningsverden. I fire kapitler fortælles om den første organiserede modstand mod den ny universitetslov, om den dramatiske sag om tre fyringsvarslede pædagogiske filosoffer, om den pinagtige sag om musikprofessorens konflikt med sine kollegaer og endelig om det liv, som blev det normale, når man gik på universitetet efter de store omvæltninger. Det overordnede argument er, at 2003-loven var en fejltagelse. Universiteter ikke skal ledes som private erhvervsvirksomheder, men som lærde republikker, således som det traditionelt har været tilfældet i Danmark, og som det stadig er det i andre civiliserede lande. I forbindelse med de nævnte sager diskuteres forskningsfrihed, universitetets ide, republikanisme mv., ligesom der suppleres med personlige erindringer fra fire årtier med universitet, forskning, videnskab og uddannelse. Bogens kerne er tekster om disse emner fra det nævnte tiår, der er ordnet i kapitler og forsynet med hver en nyskreven indledning. I bogens samlede indledning præsenteres det overordnede argument og i de afsluttende bemærkninger diskuteres forskellige aspekter af videnskabelig anerkendelse. Tilsammen udgør de udvalgte tekster et dokumentarium, hvor meget forskelligartede vidnesbyrd giver bogen karakter af en dekorativ collage. Og dekorativ skal den være: Asger Sørensen går på universitetet er nemlig også et festskrift i anledning af fyrre års gang på universitetet. Til slut i bogen bringes således en komplet fortegnelse over Asger Sørensens publicerede arbejder gennem disse fire årtier.Asger Sørensen går på universitetet er andet bind af Asger Sørensen bøgerne (ASB 2). Hvor første bind, Asger Sørensen i lyset af Bataille (Politisk Revy, 2012) greb tilbage til studietiden i 1980'erne og bragte historien op til lektoransættelsen i 2008, så sætter andet bind fokus på de første stormfulde år på universitetet omkring denne ansættelse og hvad deraf fulgte. I det planlagte tredje bind (ASB 3), Asger Sørensen i filosofiens tjeneste samler den 60-årige lektor et udvalg af sine filosofiske interventioner på dansk gennem fire årtier.
