Mocking self-entrepreneurship and exploring the miseries of precarity, this biting new book identifies the aesthetics of productive anxietyIn this pocket-sized paperback volume, Italian writer and conceptual artist Silvio Lorusso guides us through this era of the "entreprecariat," or the relationship between entrepreneurship and precarity. The precariat class consists of those whose working lives are comprised of disjointed bits, lacking financial or professional stability. In our entreprecarious society, everyone is an entrepreneur and nobody is stable. Through analyses of memes, photographs and advertisements, Lorusso explores tensions surrounding labor, productivity, autonomy and failure while dissecting the media objects that encourage a precarious lifestyle. Precarious economic conditions demand an entrepreneurial attitude, while entrepreneurialism breeds instability and change; thus, entreprecarity is characterized by a cognitive dissonance. Lorusso weaponizes irony and sarcasm in order to shift our collective understanding of work ethic, labor, leisure, production and competition.

STRIVE TOGETHER TO BUILD A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM Do you want to build winning teams or championship teams? Winning teams are results-obsessed. Any result will do no matter how low the bar-whatever it takes to compare favorably with The Competition. These teams are built from the outside-in. Decisions are made after asking questions like: "How will this look?" "How will this feel?" and, most importantly, "How will we compare?" Championship teams are driven by a purpose that transcends winning. Champions don't compare - they compete based on the origin of compete, 'to strive together.' Championship teams are built from the inside-out. Decisions are made after asking: "Will this align with who we are?" and, most importantly, "Will this make us better?" Today we live in a world of ambiguity. Young people are entering a workplace that is increasingly disruptive and unpredictable. Seeking to work collaboratively is no longer sufficient to meet this challenge. Simply "working together" was perfect for Henry Ford's assembly line. But in today's rapid change economy "striving together" is required because productivity and the ability to constantly innovate have become the keys to success. Winning teams are focused on competing externally. They are built to project a certain image. Championship teams are built to innovate. They compete internally and create their own best practices - which prepares them for anything The Competition throws at them! In Strive Together, Jeff Moore provides business leaders with a framework for building teams that achieve beyond expectations in a rapid change environment and helps leaders in education understand how to prepare young people to thrive in ambiguity!

David Kwong has astounded corporate CEOs, TED Talk audiences, and thousands of other hyperrational people?making them see, believe, and even remember whatever he wants them to. Illusion is an ancient art that centers on control: it is the ability to command a room, build anticipation, and appear to work wonders. Illusion works because the human brain is wired to fill the gap between seeing and believing. Successful leaders?like Steve Jobs, Warren Buffett, and Ted Turner?are masters of control and command; they understand how to sway opinion and achieve their goals. In his years of research and practice, David has discovered seven fundamental principles of illusion. With these rules anyone can learn to:Mind the Gap: recognize and employ the perceptual space between your audience's ability to see and their impulse to believe.Load Up: prepare to amaze your audience.Write the Script: discover the importance of shaping the narrative that surrounds your illusion.Control the Frame: explore the real-life value of a magician's best friend: misdirection.Design Free Choice: command your audience by giving them agency.Employ the Familiar: take secret advantage of habits, patterns, and audience expectations.Conjure an Out: develop backup plans that will keep you one, two, three, or more steps ahead of the competition.Inside Spellbound you'll discover a different way to sell your ideas, products, or skills, and make your best shot better than everyone else's.

Hvid dromedar indeholder blandt andet en minicrosser og en palleløfter, betragtninger fra det lollandske Schweiz og en danseskole …Hvid dromedars fortællinger og korte tekster beskriver en ikke-lineær bevægelse fra barndommens land til det, nogen måske vil kalde et arbejdsliv. Samtidig sker der en forskydning fra det realistiske til det urealistiske. Anders Vægter Nielsen kredser i denne bog navnlig om vores had-kærlighedsforhold til især det fysiske arbejde. Prosa er det, men prosaisk bliver det aldrig, for her er en forfatter, der formår at kaste et næsten kærligt lys over det smukke i det grimme.Anders Vægter Nielsen skriver i diverse genrer og former og er bl.a. forfatter til en håndfuld kortprosa og 3½ roman. Han har været optaget af såvel det arbejdende jeg i nutiden – jf. romanen Trappevask – som mennesket set i historisk belysning – udfoldet i romanen 1533, et drab og en rejse – og bevæger sig også gerne over i en mere fabulerende prosa. Hvid dromedar er hans første egentlige samling af fortællinger

The office: it's the history of all of us.For many of us, it's where we spend more time and expend greater effort than anywhere else. Yet how many of us have stopped to think about why?In The Office: A Hardworking History, Gideon Haigh traces from origins among merchants and monks to the gleaming glass towers of New York and the space age sweatshops of Silicon Valley, finding an extraordinary legacy of invention and ingenuity, shaped by the telephone, the typewriter, the elevator, the email, the copier, the cubicle, the personal computer, the personal digital assistant.Amid the formality, restraint and order of office life, too, he discovers a world teeming with dramas great and small, of boredom, betrayal, distraction, discrimination, leisure and lust, meeting along the way such archetypes as the Whitehall mandarin, the Wall Street banker, the Dickensian clerk, the Japanese salaryman, the French bureaucrat and the Soviet official.In doing so, Haigh taps a rich lode of art and cinema, fiction and folklore, visiting the workplaces imagined by Hawthorne and Heller, Kafka and Kurosawa, Balzac and Wilder, and visualised from Mary Tyler Moore to Mad Men, from Network to 9 to 5 plus, of course, The Office. Far from simply being a place we visit to earn a living, the office emerges as a way of seeing the entire world.

New York Times columnist Alina Tugend delivers an eye-opening big idea: Embracing mistakes can make us smarter, healthier, and happier in every facet of our lives. In this persuasive book, journalist Alina Tugend examines the delicate tension between what we're told-we must make mistakes in order to learn-and the reality-we often get punished for them. She shows us that mistakes are everywhere, and when we acknowledge and identify them correctly, we can improve not only ourselves, but our families, our work, and the world around us as well. Bold and dynamic, insightful and provocative, Better by Mistake turns our cultural wisdom on its head to illustrate the downside of striving for perfection and the rewards of acknowledging and accepting mistakes and embracing the imperfection in all of us.

Hvem henter din mad, gør din lejlighed ren og designer din hjemmeside - og under hvilke løn- og arbejdsvilkår? Det er nogle af de spørgsmål, der rejser sig i takt med, at digitale arbejdsplatforme som Uber, Upwork og Happy Helper vokser frem og spreder sig på det danske arbejdsmarked.Arbejdsplatformene formidler opgaver (gigs) frem for hele jobs via hjemmesider og apps og typisk til selvstændige frem for lønmodtagere, hvilket har givet anledning til en del debat. Bogen kortlægger udviklingen af platformene i Danmark – typer, omfang og deltagere - og analyserer, hvordan aktørerne i platformsøkonomien håndterer at gå fra jobøkonomi til opgaveøkonomi.Bogens hovedkonklusion er, at der kan identificeres to hovedveje i den danske (og nordiske) platformsøkonomi, når det handler om udviklingen af ordnede forhold: Overenskomstmodellen og CVR-modellen. Med udgangspunkt i fem dybdegående casestudier vises, at disse to modeller kan have forskellige udtryk i praksis alt afhængig af, hvilke brancher og kompetencer platformene retter sig imod.Bogen henvender sig til praktikere samt studerende og færdiguddannede med interesse for digitalisering og arbejdsmarkedet.Om forfatterne:Anna Ilsøe er lektor på Københavns Universitet og gæsteprofessor på Lunds Universitet. Hun forsker i digitalisering af arbejdsmarkedet og kollektive forhandlinger.Trine Pernille Larsen er lektor på Københavns Universitet og forsker i digitalisering, atypisk beskæftigelse og komparativ arbejdsmarkedsregulering.

Be Intentional: Culture Introduction by: >Authors: Lisa LavenderAndrew G McCabeJeremy WatkinDr. Leroy Nunery IIDavid PrincetonLuke DraegerJonathan L. IsaacsonChris Stanley>Publisher: >Editors: >How do the small things that you do contribute to enhancing or undermining your culture? Featuring a poem on culture by Elan "Born to Repair" Pasmanick The second book from The DYOJO Publications will be a collaborative effort with leaders in various industries sharing their experiences developing thriving cultures. In business, the question with regards to culture is not whether your organization has a culture. The question you should be asking is whether your culture has evolved by chance or because you have been intentional in developing it. If your goal is to have a healthy and thriving team, culture is the means through which you care for your organization. If you can identify, build, and staff around a culture that enhances your values, then your combined efforts will have greater focus and potency. The development of a culture becomes, through the process, a means of attracting, fostering, and retaining good team members. In short, take care of the culture because the culture is what cares for your people. If you want a better culture, the first step is to STOP doing those things that are undermining your development. This alone will help your growth. You accelerate this reduction of dysfunction by STARTING to identify and act upon those habits that enhance your culture. Applying both the stop and the start and you will soon be making noticeable advances towards your goals. We know bad culture when we see it, yet it may not always lend itself to clear definitions.Taking care of your culture is critical to taking care of your people.Taking care of your people is essential to taking care of your customers.Taking care of your customers is the foundation of a sustainable business. Therefore, developing, adapting, and caring for your culture is vital to your vitality as an organization. Your input of time, effort, and resources towards developing an intentional culture is directly linked to achieving optimal business outputs. As we continue to dig into this subject matter, the question we are asking is: What are some of the small things that have helped to enhance or undermine culture in the experiences of our talented group of authors? www.thedyojo.com/book2
