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.

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

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.

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

"This new edition of the bestselling classic includes updates as well as fresh material around remote work and today's challenges in career development and retention. Study after study confirms that career development is the single most powerful tool managers have for driving retention, engagement, productivity, and results. It's the sustainable competitive advantage that will distinguish the winners from the losers. Nevertheless, it's frequently back-burnered. When asked why, managers say the number one reason is that they just don't have time-for the meetings, the forms, the administrative hoops. But there's a better way. And it's surprisingly simple: frequent short conversations with employees about their career goals and options integrated seamlessly into the normal course of business. Beverly Kaye, coauthor of the bestselling Love 'Em or Lose 'Em, and Julie Winkle Giulioni identify three broad types of conversations that will increase employees' awareness of their strengths, weaknesses, and interests; point out where their organization and their industry are headed; and help them pull all of that together to design their own up-to-the-minute, personalized career plans. Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go is filled with practical tips, guidelines, and templates, as well as nearly a hundred suggested conversation questions. This new edition will also be released alongside an interactive Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go card deck to create organizational pathways for career development, and twenty-seven minutes of video trainings covering content, activities and practices in the book"--

This book examines various aspects of the business world from the perspective of communication. After all, no business is possible without communication. A statement that ought to be an axiom because communication is central to the interaction of people; hence, also interactions at the workplace, amongst business partners, and with customers. And when the people come from different cultures, then the role of culture assumes an important role as well. But instead of pursuing a typical management perspective, the authors in this book examine various business and work-related contexts from an intercultural, general communication, and linguistic perspective. A perspective that is often not in the focus of classic management literature ¿ probably because it is assumed that everyone can communicate. But what if the communicative efforts are ineffective? And what if the interactors are unaware of this? That is why communication needs to be considered and understood so as to be more effective and more productive. This book follows an interdisciplinary approach to communication and, thus, offers some useful insights to such interactions and contexts. The contributing authors provide literally a global perspective because they come from different parts of the world and from different scientific disciplines. The book is divided into six parts: The first five chapters offer a general introduction to culture and communication. This is followed by four chapters examining various aspects of worldview and perception. Next come six chapters dealing with a selection of topics revolving around the meaning of messages. The next five chapters take a closer look at communication at the workplace. This is followed by three chapters exploring politeness and emotion at work. The book ends with five chapters considering communication competence and cultural adaptation. The book, thus, offers some unique insights to the world of business from the perspective of culture and communication.
