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.

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.

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.

The gripping inside story of Paypal, the company that created the digital age as we know it.

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.

Since the latter part of the century just past, Stanley Bing has been exploring the relationship between authority and madness. In one bestselling book after another, reporting from his hot-seat as an insider in a world-renowned multinational corporation, he has tried to understand the inner workings of those who lead us and to inquire why they seem to be powered, much of the time, by demons that make them obnoxious and dangerous, even to themselves. In What Would Machiavelli Do?, Bing looked at the issue of why mean people do better than nice people, and found that in their particular form of insanity lay incredible power. In Throwing the Elephant: Zen and the Art of Managing Up, he offered a spiritual path toward managing the unruly executive beast. And in Sun Tzu Was a Sissy, he taught us how to become one of them, and wage war on the playing field that ends in a dream home in Cabo. Now he returns to his roots to offer the last word on the entity that shapes our lives and stomps through?and on?our dreams: The Crazy Boss. Students of Bing?and there are many, secreted inside tortured organizations, yearning for blunt instruments with which to fight?will note that he has walked this ground before, looking for answers. In 1992, he published the first edition of Crazy Bosses, which was fine, as far as it went. Now, some 15 years and several dozen insane bosses later, he has updated and rethought much of the work. Back in the last century, Bing was a small, trembling creature, looking up at those who made his life miserable and analyzing the mental illness that gave them their power. Today, while still trembling much of the time, he is in fact one of those people his prior work has warned us against. His own hard-won wisdom and now institutionalized dementia make this new edition completely fresh and indispensable to anyone who works for somebody else or lives with somebody else, or would like to. In short, Bing is back on his home turf in this funny, true, and essential book, peering with his keen and frosty eye at the crazy boss in all his guises: the Bully, the Paranoid, the Narcissist, the Wimp, and the self-destructive Disaster Hunter. If you loved the original, classic Crazy Bosses, you'll be thrilled to plunge back into the new, refurbished pool. If you are new to the book, strap yourself in: it's going to be a crazy ride.
