Bøger af Adrian Furnham

Nøglen til stærk ledelse er at kende ledelsesopgaverne og sine egne styrker og mangler som leder. På denne baggrund kan man samle et stærkt hold omkring sig. I Ledelse – Alt du behøver at vide beskriver Pendleton og Furnham, hvordan ledelse i dag strækker sig over flere vigtige og komplekse områder, som få eller ingen kan dække fuldstændigt over. De fortæller, hvad lederen skal forholde sig til, og giver konkret introduktion til baggrunden for nogle af de anerkendte teorier og modeller, der er for moderne ledelse, blandt andet personlighedsmodellen The Big Five og den anerkendte test baseret herpå NEO-PI-3. “Det er ikke nødvendigt at rapportere til den perfekte chef for selv at være en god chef. Selv under en kraftig regnbyge kan enhver, som har en paraply med sig, skabe et afsondret mikroklima, som andre kan søge tilflugt i. Enhver, som tager vores tanker alvorligt, kan begynde med at sikre sig, at deres eget team har det godt.” Citat fra bogen

An in-depth look at some of the newest issues in psychology and how they can shape our lives, at home and at work - from AI and eco-psychology, to the great resignation, Zoom fatigue, and the psychology of social media. Psychologists have always shone a torch, and often a spotlight, into many dark corners of the human mind. They study everything, from art preferences to altruism, coaching to criminality, jokes and humour to justice and honesty. But in our hyper-connected, post-pandemic world, new issues are emerging that are less understood, and which can be unsettling for people who are trying to get to grips with the changes that are happening around them. The language of psychology can offer clear descriptions and explanations for all sort of phenomena, including many of these more modern conditions. Ultimately, knowing more about how these conditions manifest themselves and how they can be treated, can help people to feel happier and better able to identify and realise their full potential. Many of them relate specifically to our work lives (Zoom fatigue and hybrid working, for example), allowing for a reassessment of the pressures faced at work and how to identify and pursue a better work/life balance.Written as a follow-up to the highly successful Psychology 101, Adrian Furnham takes a closer look at 50 of the emerging concepts in modern psychology, and what exactly they mean for us in terms of both our personal and professional lives.
