"The author of Digital Minimalism and Deep Work offers a philosophy for pursuing meaningful accomplishment while avoiding overload. History's most creative and impactful philosophers, scientists, artists, and writers mastered the art of producing valuable work with staying power. In this book, Cal Newport harnesses the wisdom of these traditional knowledge workers to transform modern jobs. Drawing from research on the habits and mindsets of a varied cast of thinkers from Galileo and Isaac Newton to Jane Austen and Georgia O'Keefe, Newport lays out the key principles of "slow productivity" and provides step-by-step advice for workers to replace the standard notion of productivity with a slower, more humane alternative"--]cProvided by publisher.

Arbejdsugen på fem dage er forældet og passer ikke til vores digitale tidsalder; men vi får det bedste fra alle verdener med en firedages arbejdsuge. Vi optimerer vores produktivitet, får en bedre balance mellem arbejdsliv og privatliv, stressen forsvinder, og der bliver bedre muligheder for et mere bæredygtigt samfund.4-dages arbejdsuge er et velunderbygget argument for en arbejdsuge, der kun er på fire dage. Her har Andrew Barnes i samarbejde med sine ansatte udviklet og afprøvet de fleksible arbejdsmetoder, der beskrives i bogen. Han bad sine medarbejdere om at designe en firedages arbejdsuge, der stadig gjorde det muligt at leve op til de eksisterende produktivitetskrav til samme løn, men med en reduktion af arbejdstiden på 20 % – og udfaldet ledte til gladere medarbejdere, der var mindre syge og mere produktive og fokuserede på arbejdet.Andrew Barnes er stifter og CEO i Perpetual Guardian, der er markedsledende inden for finansiel rådgivning og investering. Han er en efterspurgt inspirator og foredragsholder om emnet ’4-dages arbejdsuge’. Bogen er skrevet i samarbejde med erhvervsskribent Stephanie Jones.

En bog, der vil ændre vores forhold til fejl og nederlag – fra den anerkendte og prisvindende forsker i psykologisk tryghed, Amy Edmondson.Forord af Christian Ørsted.Normalt tænker vi på fiasko som det modsatte af succes, og vi står ofte mellem to fiaskokulturer: Den ene kultur vil undgå fejl og deres konsekvenser for enhver pris og kalder på en nulfejlskultur, mens den anden går den modsatte vej og anbefaler, at vi fejler mere og oftere. Hvis det var så simpelt, ville vi helt sikkert være bedre til at lære af fejl og undgå dem, men det er alt andet end simpelt. I begge kulturer overses nemlig en væsentlig detalje: At der er forskel på fejl og dermed også på, hvordan de skal håndteres. Som følge heraf går vi glip af muligheden for at fejle på en god måde.I Den rigtige slags forkert giver Amy Edmondson os et rammeværk for, hvordan vi kan tænke og tale om fejl, og hvordan vi kan fejle på den gode måde. Edmondson skelner mellem tre fiaskoarketyper:Basale – fejl og fejltrin, som kan undgås med omhu og viden.Komplekse – et samspil mellem flere faktorer, som kalder på åbenhed, så deres konsekvenser kan stoppes, inden de vokser sig store.Intelligente – nødvendige fiaskoer og eksperimenter, der gør, at vi kan udvikle os og lære nyt.Edmondson viser os, hvordan vi kan minimere de uproduktive fejl, og hvordan vi kan lave flere af de fejl, der er den rigtige slags forkert, og lære af både succes og nederlag. Bogen lærer os, hvordan vi og vores organisationer kan omfavne vores egen fejlbarlighed, og hvordan en psykologisk tryg kultur kan hjælpe til at tale åbent om fejl og eksperimentere og afprøve nye ting – også selvom vi risikerer at fejle på vejen.Bogen henvender sig til alle os fejlbarlige mennesker, der ønsker at gøre det godt professionelt såvel som privat som forældre, venner og mennesker.

In this book, author Matheus Facure explains the untapped potential of causal inference for estimating impacts and effects.

What if the best workplace we've experienced is just a fraction of what is possible? Dare we dream of something so far beyond 'business as usual' that it feels like a fantasy? In this book, we aim to venture past the workplaces of the past and into the unknown, to imagine and create something recognisably different. To create truly human work at workplaces that support everyone to be their best. In this book we look at the many ways that leaders around the world are making work more human. What we've found is that there doesn't seem to be a simple recipe for success, and that it is more important to understand the mindsets behind the strategies. The five leadership mindsets for humanising the workplace describe powerful lenses through which we may see our organisations differently. We expand our awareness of human dynamics and find ourselves transforming into a more human leader. These mindsets are:Learning and growth: I have a desire to learn, grow and deepen my self-expression.Everyone is a leader: I strive to empower the leadership of those around me.Belonging: I believe belonging is important for both the individual and the group.Love and care: I believe that everyone is worthy of love and care.Human systems: I understand that human workplaces are not possible without human systems.This is a book for leaders. Both leaders with positional authority and those who create influence from anywhere in the organisation. However and wherever you lead, we invite you to be inspired by the stories the leaders we've interviewed tell about humanising workplaces. Notice your own mindsets and try on some new ones. Together we can make work more human. Praise for the book: "Human Work: Five Leadership Mindsets for Humanising Workplaces illustrates the extraordinary possibilities when you create workplaces centered on care, connection and collaboration: your team members and your business thrive! And that ripples out into the communities in which we work and live. Time to get intentional, leaders, about creating organizations where people matter. This quick read will provide ideas and inspiration for your journey!"-BOB CHAPMAN, CEO of Barry-Wehmiller and co-author of Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family "If you are willing to face into the uncertainty of the road ahead with curiosity and lean into the process of building skills and practices to live brave and be a leader others want to follow, this book is a powerful and practical application guide."-DALE HEROLD, CEO of Tidewater Fleet Supply, a Falcon Affiliates company "Human Work is an essential read for anyone who wants to understand the difference between surviving and thriving at work. The power of humanity in the workplace reinforces why belonging, esteem and purpose are so very important."-HAROLD HILLMAN, Ph.D., author of The Impostor Syndrome and Empathy: The Human Side of Leadership "As someone who dreams about what is possible for the future of work, I am thrilled that Human Work: Five Leadership Mindsets for Humanising Workplaces exists. It is a practical, actionable guide that will help leaders and readers of all kinds build workplaces that are more compassionate, empathetic, supportive, and empowering. From the helpful mindsets to the leaders' stories, this book demonstrates the ways in which we all have the power to make our workplaces more human"-KRISTEN HADEED, thought leader, speaker, and author of Permission To Screw Up: How I Learned To Lead By Doing (Almost) Everything Wrong

Reklamationer kan være en stor udfordring, der ofte ender dårligt, fordi virksomheder ikke ved, hvordan de skal gøre kunderne tilfredse igen. Dermed mister man kunder, der samtidig giver virksomhederne dårlig omtale og dermed dræber vækst. Men klager kan udgøre et stort potentiale, for forventningerne til virksomhedernes løsninger på problemet er nemlig normalt så lave, at man som virksomhed let kan indfri dem.I De satans kunder gennemgås både den økonomiske gevinst, som virksomheden kan opnå, samt alle de forhold, som gør det svært. Den giver en komplet og sammenhængende metode til god reklamationshåndterning. Bogen henvender sig til topchefen, ledergruppen og alle de medarbejdere, som udfører et arbejde på området. Den er relevant for B2B, B2C og alle andre sektorer, uanset om ’kunderne’ er kunder, borgere, klienter, medlemmer, patienter eller noget helt sjette.

Niall Downey brings you the go-to guide for error management for your business and every day life."I am thirty miles south of London's Gatwick Airport, the world's busiest single-runway airport, when one of the seven Flight Control computers in my Airbus A320 aircraft fails..."So begins this pioneering book by Niall Downey - a cardio-thoracic surgeon who retrained to become a commercial airline pilot - where he uses his expertise in medicine and aviation to explore the critical issue of managing human error. With further examples from business, politics, sport, technology, education and other fields, Downey makes a powerful case that by following some clear guidelines any organization can greatly reduce the incidence and impact of making serious mistakes.While acknowledging that in our fast-paced world getting things wrong is impossible to avoid completely, Downey offers a strategy based on current best practice that can make a massive difference. He concludes with an aviation-style Safety Management System that can be hugely helpful in preventing avoidable catastrophes from occurring.An acknowledged expert in error management, Niall Downey advises governments, major corporations and the health industry on how to develop a systemic approach to controlling for human imperfection. Arguing that prevention is far preferable to denying responsibility after the fact, he gave an influential TEDx talk outlining how healthcare could use aviation's experience to reduce tragic outcomes and improve patient safety.

Revised edition of the authors' Humble leadership, [2018]

A rare, riveting insider's account on Wall Streetan updated Liar's Pokerwhere greed coupled with misogyny and discrimination enforces a culture of exclusion in the upper echelons of Goldman SachsJamie Fiore Higgins became one of the few women at the highest ranks of Goldman Sachs. Spurred on by the obligation she felt to her working-class immigrant family, she rose through the ranks and saw it all: out-of-control, lavish parties flowing with never-ending drinks; affairs flouted in the office; rampant drug use; and most pervasively, a discriminatory culture that seemed designed to hold back the few women and people of color employed at the company. Despite Goldman Sachs having the right talking points and statistics, Fiore Higgins soon realized that these provided a veneer to cover up what she found to be an abusive culture. Her account is one filled with shocking stories of harassment and jaw-dropping tales of exclusionary behavior: when she was told she only got promoted because she is a woman; when her coworkers mooed at her after she pumped for her fourth child, defying the superior who had advised her not to breastfeed; or when a male boss used a racial epithet in front of her, other colleagues, and clients without any repercussions. Bully Market sounds the alarm on the culture of finance and corporate America, while offering clear, actionable ideas for creating a fairer workplace. Both a revealing, extraordinary look at the industry and a top Wall Streeter's explosive personal story, Bully Market is an essential account of one woman's experience in a flawed system that speaks to the challenge and urgency for change.

Learn a new talent, stay relevant, reinvent yourself, and adapt to whatever the workplace throws your way. Ultralearning offers nine principles to master hard skills quickly. This is the essential guide to future-proof your career and maximize your competitive advantage through self-education.In these tumultuous times of economic and technological change, staying ahead depends on continual self-education?a lifelong mastery of fresh ideas, subjects, and skills. If you want to accomplish more and stand apart from everyone else, you need to become an ultralearner.The challenge of learning new skills is that you think you already know how best to learn, as you did as a student, so you rerun old routines and old ways of solving problems. To counter that, Ultralearning offers powerful strategies to break you out of those mental ruts and introduces new training methods to help you push through to higher levels of retention.Scott H. Young incorporates the latest research about the most effective learning methods and the stories of other ultralearners like himself?among them Benjamin Franklin, chess grandmaster Judit Polgár, and Nobel laureate physicist Richard Feynman, as well as a host of others, such as little-known modern polymath Nigel Richards, who won the French World Scrabble Championship?without knowing French.Young documents the methods he and others have used to acquire knowledge and shows that, far from being an obscure skill limited to aggressive autodidacts, ultralearning is a powerful tool anyone can use to improve their career, studies, and life.Ultralearning explores this fascinating subculture, shares a proven framework for a successful ultralearning project, and offers insights into how you can organize and execute a plan to learn anything deeply and quickly, without teachers or budget-busting tuition costs.Whether the goal is to be fluent in a language (or ten languages), earn the equivalent of a college degree in a fraction of the time, or master multiple tools to build a product or business from the ground up, the principles in Ultralearning will guide you to success.

Based on an acclaimed professor's legendary strategy course at Harvard Business School, The Strategist offers a radically new perspective on a leader's most vital role."Are you a strategist?" That's the first question Cynthia Montgomery asks the business owners and senior executives from all over the world who participate in her highly regarded executive education course. It's not a question they anticipate or care much about on opening day. But by the time the program ends, they cannot imagine leading their companies to success without being—and living the role of—a strategist.Over a series of weeks and months, Montgomery puts these accomplished executives through their paces. Using case discussions, after-hours talks, and participants' own strategy dilemmas, she illuminates what strategy is, why it's important, and what it takes to lead the effort. En route, she equips them to confront the most essential question facing every business leader: Does this company truly matter? In doing so, she shows that strategy is not just a tool for outwitting the competition; it is the most powerful means a leader has for shaping a company itself.The Strategist exposes all business leaders—whether they run a global enterprise or a small business—to the invaluable insights Montgomery shares with these privileged executives. By distilling the experiences and insights gleaned in the classroom, Montgomery helps leaders develop the skills and sensibilities they need to become strategists themselves. It is a difficult role, but little else one does as a leader is likely to matter more.

Tør du fejle? Denne bog er ikke et forsvarsskrift for sjusk - men derimod et forsvarsskrift for, at vi skal turde eksperimentere.Vi skal turde kaste os ud i det, og så vil det uvægerligt føre til fejl. Og det er helt i orden. Faktisk er det supergodt! Frygten for fejl hæmmer både innovation, kreativitet og arbejdslyst, derfor bør alle arbejdspladser (private såvel som offentlige) opfordre til og hylde fejl.Men hvad skal der til, hvis man som leder ønsker en kultur, hvor fejl bydes velkommen? Eller hvis man som medarbejder tænker, at ens potentiale ikke bringes i spil? Psykologisk tryghed er i hvert fald helt essentielt!I denne bog har Rebekka Bøgelund talt med en række toneangivende eksperter og erhvervsledere, der alle sætter ord på, hvordan de konkret sikrer psykologisk tryghed og mod hos med­arbejderne til at byde ind med deres idéer og perspektiver.Rebekka Bøgelund er master i psykologi ved Aarhus Universitet og i kommunikation ved Københavns Universitet, foredragsholder og forsker i danskernes arbejdslyst ved Videncenter for God Arbejdslyst, selvstændig organisations- og ledelseskonsulent samt ejer af rådgivervirksomheden Crop Organisation.

Enhver virksomhed har brug for at omdanne innovation fra vision til noget, hvor de udvikler produkter og tjenester, som kunderne ikke bare vil købe, men er villige til at betale for.Hvordan ved virksomhederne, hvordan de skal vækste? Hvordan kan de udvikle produkter, som de er sikre på, at kunderne ønsker at købe? Kan innovation være andet end spil hit & miss? Professor på Harvard Business School Clayton Christensen har svaret. For en generation siden revolutionerede Christensen business-verdenen med sin banebrydende teori om disruptiv innovation. Nu tager han skridtet videre og tilbyder kraftfulde nye indsigter.Efter mange års forskning er Christensen og hans medforfattere nået til en kritisk konklusion: Det, vi længe har troet – at det at forstå kunden er kernen i innovation – er forkert. Kunder køber ikke produkter eller tjenester; de "hyrer" dem til at gøre et job. At forstå kunden er ikke drivkraften i en innovationssucces. Det er til gengæld det at forstå den opgave, kunden skal løse. Jobs-to-be-done"-tilgangen kan ses i nogle af verdens mest respekterede virksomheder og hurtigst vækstende startups, herunder Amazon, Uber og Airbnb for blot at nævne nogle få. Men denne bog handler ikke om at fejre disse succeser, men om at forudsige nye.Forfatterne mener, at virksomheder ved at forstå, hvad der får kunderne til at "hyre" et produkt eller en tjeneste, kan styrke innovationen og skabe produkter, som kunderne ikke kun kan bruge, men også vil betale godt for. Bogen giver en omfattende og klar forklaring på jobs-to-be-done-teorien, hvordan man bruger den i praksis, og vigtigst af alt, hvordan man ikke taber den indsigt, teorien giver, på gulvet.

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.

Pludselig befandt nogle eksterne kolleger sig i en ovn med eksplosionsfare, hvor de var klar til at svejse. Arbejdsmiljørepræsentant René Tue Iversen stoppede arbejdet og fik styr på den farlige situation. I Kalundborg kunne sårede bandemedlemmer sent om aftenen blive smidt af en bil foran sundhedscentret. Arbejdsmiljørepræsentant Heinrich Larsen var ikke helt overbevist om, at det var trygt at gå udenfor og hjælpe de sårede ind. Bag rattet i en bybus kan alt ske. Hans Horsten tog som arbejdsmiljørepræsentant hånd om sin kollega, der uforvarende havde ramt en fodgænger på vej over gaden.Et skridt ad gangen er en bog om arbejdslivet i Danmark på godt og ondt set gennem en række arbejdsmiljørepræsentanters linser. Bogens afsluttende sider giver inspiration til arbejdsmiljørepræsentanter om, hvordan de kan få mere succes med deres indsatser.

Kravene til arbejdslivet stiger konstant. Der er høje forventninger til hastighed og tilgængelighed, og samtidig er trivsel og engagement i frit fald. Mange bliver sygemeldt, siger op eller mister troen på, at arbejdslivet kan være anderledes. Men det kan det.Happy High Performer viser, hvordan du skaber et sundt arbejdsliv. Gennem forskningsbaserede teorier, eksempler fra virkeligheden og konkrete strategier guider forfatteren til et arbejdsliv, hvor høj trivsel og høj performance ikke er hinandens modsætninger, men hinandens forudsætninger. Som det er nu, ender alt for mange som såkaldt Overwhelmed High Performers. Bogens metoder viser vejen til at blive en Happy High Performer ved at sætte fokus på tre kerneområder: din hjerne, din tid og dine beslutninger. Du lærer blandt andet:- at øge din kapacitet med glæde, energi og engagement- at skabe den rette struktur ved at træffe aktive fravalg og skabe klarhed- at stå på mål for dine valg, holde fokus og sikre fremdrift.

En praktisk guide til større ligestilling: Sådan frigør vi kvinders karrierer fra arbejde, der ikke bliver belønnet. Nej-klubben blev stiftet af fire kvinder med endeløse to-do-lister og med det formål at få deres arbejdsliv under kontrol. Selv når de løb hurtigere end alle andre, var de stadig bagud i forhold til deres mandlige kollegers løn og karriereforløb. Denne bog afslører resultatet af mere end ti års banebrydende forskning: at kvinder overalt er belastet med "ikke-forfremmende arbejde": planlægning af sommerfesten, screening af praktikanter, pleje af den tidskrævende klient eller simpelthen at hjælpe andre med deres arbejde. Professorerne Linda Babcock, Brenda Peyser, Lise Vesterlund og Laurie Weingart dokumenterer, hvordan kvinder overalt udfører disse opgaver. Denne ubalance efterlader kvinder overbebyrdede og gør, at virksomhederne mister indtægter, produktivitet og ikke udnytter deres største talenter. Nej-klubben viser, hvordan du laver små, men vigtige ændringer i dine egne arbejdsbyrder og træffer klogere beslutninger om det arbejde, du påtager sig. Samtidig belyser forfatterne, hvordan varige forandringer kræver, at organisationer revurderer, hvordan de tildeler og belønner arbejde for at udjævne vilkårene for alle deres medarbejdere. Med hårde data, personlige anekdoter fra kvinder af alle slags, arbejdspladsvurderinger til øjeblikkelig brug og innovative råd fra rådgivning i Fortune 500-virksomheder vil denne bog ændre samtalen om, hvordan vi fremmer kvinders karrierer og opnår ligestilling i det 21. århundrede
