John Wiley & Sons Inc Driven to Lead
Book SynopsisThis book is truly amazing?actually, a masterpiece. It tells the story of the human condition. ?From Foreword by WARREN BENNIS IN THIS FOLLOW-UP BOOK to the best-selling Driven, Harvard professor Paul Lawrence applies his four-drive theory of human behavior to the realm of leadership, explaining how leadership?like all human behavior?can be understood as a function of the balance, or lack of balance, of four basic human drives: the drive to acquire, to defend, to comprehend, and to bond. We achieve an optimal state of leadership when all four drives are cultivated and balanced. In this next-step resource, Lawrence uses historical examples and current leadership crises to explain how the balance of the four drives results in one of three types of leadership: Good leadership: The best leaders, followers, and stakeholders fulfill the four drives in a balanced manner. Misguided leadership: These leaders, followers, and stakeholderTrade Review"...former Medtronic CEO and smart leadership thinker Bill George loved it, and I have to think someone who's been studying the topic since at least the 1960s would have something smart to say."

HarperCollins Publishers The Power of Giving Away Power
Book SynopsisHow do great leaders thrive in uncertain times? By changing their mindsets about power.If you let go of hierarchy, chaos will reignor so many leaders believe.But when leaders find the courage to distribute rather than hoard power, creativity multiplies, trust deepens, and inclusivity expandsand a new kind of order emerges.For decades, leaders forced their organizations to look like a pyramid, with all authority flowing from the top. That didn't work. Next, experts told leaders to adopt bottom-up leadership. But that's not working either. Top-down and bottom-up are the same organizational shape. And neither approach really enables innovation, collaboration, or enthusiasm. The problem is the Pyramid.A few rare leaders have seen the pyramid for the trap that it is and have learned to embrace a new shape and mindset: Constellations. Organizations designed as constellations are dynamic and flexible networks of distinct yet interwoven individuals. Each member of the team feels like a singulaTrade Review“A leadership manifesto like you’ve never read before. Every page is eye-opening, provocative and energising.” Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit “Matthew Barzun might well be the first modest man to write a great book on leadership. This is a gift.” Richard Thaler, Novel Prize laureate and co-author of Nudge “An extraordinary book about human flourishing, about linking properly to the best bits of ourselves and others to move mountains. Enlightening and brain reviving.” Alain de Botton “An incredibly timely book and blueprint into how power and leadership should operate across the world.” Sir David Adjaye, OBE ‘A brilliant challenge to conventions that have held back organisations for decades and a crisp playbook for making distributed leadership work for everyone.” Ted Sarandos, co-CEO and chief content officer of Netflix “With compelling personal and historical stories Barzun artfully makes the case for replacing the ‘Great Man’ myth of leadership through empowering others.” Professor Louise Richardson, Vice-Chancellor, University of Oxford “Bursting with insight, vision and creativity, The Power of Giving Away Power is a groundbreaking analysis of political leadership. Drawing on an unparalleled pedigree of experience, Barzun proves that we can build a better future if we build it together.” David Lammy “As we grapple with the challenges facing the world, we need to build bridges across cultures and communities. With The Power of Giving Away Power, Matthew Barzun presents a type and quality of leadership that is inspiring, thoughtful – and incredible timely.” Baroness Valerie Amos “This book is a breakthrough. It’s beautifully written, perfectly timed, and heralds a new way forward. I’m buying a dozen copies to share with friends and colleagues.” Seth Godin, founder of altMBA and author of The Practice

HarperCollins Publishers Inc The Likeability Trap
Book SynopsisBe nice, but not too nice. Be successful, but not too successful. Just be likeable. Whatever that means?Women are stuck in an impossible bind. At work, strong women are criticized for being cold, and warm women are seen as pushovers. An award-winning journalist examines this fundamental paradox and empowers readers to let go of old rules and reimagine leadership rather than reinventing themselves.Consider that even competent women must appear likeable to successfully negotiate a salary, ask for a promotion, or take credit for a job well done—and that studies show these actions usually make them less likeable. And this minefield is doubly loaded when likeability intersects with race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and parental status. Relying on extensive research and interviews, and carefully examined personal experience, The Likeability Trap delivers an essential examination of the pressure put on women to be amiable at work, home, and in the public sphere, and explores the price women pay for internalizing those demands. Rather than advising readers to make themselves likeable, Menendez empowers them to examine how they perceive themselves and others and explores how the concept of likeability is riddled with cultural biases. Our demands for likeability, she argues, hinder everyone’s progress and power.Inspiring, thoughtful and often funny, The Likeability Trap proposes surprising, practical solutions for confronting the cultural patterns holding us back, encourages us to value unique talents and styles instead of muting them, and to remember that while likeability is part of the game, it will not break you. Trade Review“This book is a love letter to all of us who yearn to be liked (and are ashamed to admit it). Menendez offers research, a reality check, and the reassurance that we’re not alone.” — Tiffany Dufu, author of Drop the Ball and founder of The Cru “Wanting to be liked is more than feeding our ego or calming our insecurities, it can unwittingly impact almost every aspect of our personal and professional life. With her innate sense of wit and eloquence, Alicia Menendez makes us reflect on how we can navigate the troubled waters of likeability, ignore the inevitable noise that blocks our progress, and live at peace with ourselves.” — Maria Elena Salinas, CBS News Contributor “Alicia Menendez gets it. All of it. And conveys some of the most poignant advice out there today in this book. She breaks down the construct of women being either ‘strong and cold’ or ‘weak and warm’ and the pressure we face at home, at the office, and in public. It’s as delightful as it is useful.” — Alyssa Mastromonaco, author of So Here’s the Thing… and cohost of the #Hysteria podcast “In a radical departure from business books that urge women to change who they are or how they lead, Alicia Menendez tears to shreds the false choices presented to women by workplaces that constantly challenge whether we have what it takes. She nimbly urges us not to conform or mutate but rather to work toward dimming the spotlight on likeability.” — Erica Cerulo and Claire Mazur, cofounders of Of a Kind and coauthors of Work Wife “Reading The Likeability Trap, I felt a weight lift off me. I realized that feedback and worry about my likeability are systemic issues, not something wrong with me. I understood that I wasn’t alone and that there were things I could do about it. It has been a gift.” — Rachel Simmons, author of Odd Girl Out “It is hard to write something both new and noteworthy about women, work, and leadership, but Alicia Menendez has pulled it off. Even as a woman who has been leading for decades, I learned a lot from The Likeability Trap. Best of all, she writes powerfully and directly about the particular obstacles encountered by women of color, adding important voices to the debate.” — Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO of New America and author of Unfinished Business “Menendez, a journalist and the cohost of PBS’s Amanpour and Company, issues a friend-to-friend wake-up call for pathological approval seekers. . . . The description of the problem is perfect . . . . the chatty, friendly, heart-to-heart tone will be a comfort and an encouragement to women hampered by their desire to be both liked and successful.” — Publishers Weekly “There will be a great deal of enthusiastic nodding and audible sighs among women devouring multimedia journalist Menendez’s first book. . . . This will stoke camaraderie and genuine outrage among women, and might even make a difference, one person at a time.” — Booklist “Fierce, relevant, witty, and illuminating. The Likeability Trap is filled with hard won wisdom and actionable advice for women who want more than to be liked.” — Rebecca Jarvis, ABC News Chief Business and Economics Correspondent and Host of the No Limits Podcast

Oxford University Press Inc Brave New Workplace Designing Productive Healthy
Book SynopsisAfter a period of tremendous upheaval, it is necessary for organizations to transform alongside their employees and welcome new ways of working. While it is impossible to predict which changes will be successful, it is crucial for leaders to now ask: what should work look like to achieve productive, healthy, and safe organizations? In Brave New Workplace, Julian Barling argues that we should focus on creating environments in which employees can flourish, rather than relying on the resiliency of workers to withstand difficult working conditions. Synthesizing centuries of research from scholars such as Abraham Maslow, Fred Herzberg, and Richard Hackman, among others, Barling identifies seven elements that are key to building an exceptional workplace: high quality leadership, autonomy, belonging, fairness, growth, meaning, and safety. Throughout the book, chapters touch on pressing issues affecting today''s organizations such as working through crises, like the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact of gender differences on people''s experiences in the workplace. Barling illustrates that small changes make a big difference in the long term--perhaps especially during the most trying times--and that effective, evidenced-based interventions are needed to achieve productive, healthy, and safe, work.Trade ReviewIn his book, Brave New Workplace: Designing Productive, Healthy, and Safe Organizations, the professor of organizational behaviour argues we should focus on creating environments in which employees can flourish, rather than relying on the resiliency of workers to withstand difficult working conditions. * Linda White, Toronto Sun *The book is an important contribution to the organizational science literature and should prove to be especially valuable to "real world" professionals seeking to fabricate all-around better places to work. * Joseph J.

Oxford University Press Inc Leading with Feeling
Book SynopsisFor many decades, the conventional wisdom was that emotion has no place in the work world, and the ideal leader is one who approaches problems rationally and unemotionally. However, the reality is that emotion is inevitable when a group of people come together for an extended period of time to work on challenging tasks, and if used effectively, a leader''s moods and emotions can be a plus rather than a minus. This book describes how 25 outstanding leaders used emotional intelligence to deal with critical challenges and opportunities. Featuring commentary from the leaders themselves describing how they handled each situation, it helps managers better understand not just what emotional intelligence is, or how to measure it, or how it is linked to bottom-line results: it also shows how real leaders used their emotional intelligence to deal with real situations. The book distills the leaders'' experiences into nine strategies that can help any leader or potential leader to be more effectivTrade ReviewExplores how effective leaders use emotional intelligence (EI) to achieve their goals, presenting nine strategies for helping leaders develop their EI and use it more strategically and effectively at work and in their personal lives. * Journal of Economic Literature (Volume 59, no. 1) *The 'Nine Strategies of Emotionally Intelligent Leaders' are particularly useful in teaching managers how to be 'leaders with feeling.'

Humphrey, Distinguished Professor of Leadership, University of Lancaster *In today's fast-moving and uncertain world, Cherniss and Roche's book represents an exciting breath of fresh air. Using real-world examples and stimulating self-development exercises, they demonstrate that it's no longer true to say, 'It's all about the economy, stupid!' Instead, today's leaders and managers need to grasp the idea that, 'It's now all about the emotions, stupid!' This book is a must-read for any aspiring leader or manager seeking long-lasting success. * Neal Ashkanasy, Professor of Management, University of Queensland *A common sense guide to help managers at all levels develop simple emotional-based strategies for solving complex leadership problems. * David M.

And it's packed with real-world examples that will engage any manager, especially ones looking to move up the ranks. * John Koppisch, Former Editor, the Wall Street Journal and forbes *We've needed this book!

Oxford University Press Inc Mayo Clinic Strategies To Reduce Burnout
Book SynopsisMayo Clinic Strategies to Reduce Burnout: 12 Actions to Create the Ideal Workplace tells the story of the evolving journey of those in the medical profession. It dwells not on the story of burnout, distress, compassion fatigue, moral injury, and cognitive dissonance but rather on a narrative of hope for professional fulfillment, well-being, joy, and camaraderie. Achieving this aim requires health care professionals and administrative leaders working together to create the ideal workplace-through nurturing positivity and pushing negativity aside. The ultimate aspiration is esprit de corps-the common spirit existing in members of a group that inspires enthusiasm, devotion, loyalty, camaraderie, engagement, and strong regard for the welfare of the team and of common interests and responsibilities. Mayo Clinic Strategies to Reduce Burnout: 12 Actions to Create the Ideal Workplace provides a road map for you to create esprit de corps for your team and organization. The map is paved with information about reliable, patient-centered, and thoughtful systems embedded within psychologically safe and just cultures. The authors drew on their extensive research on the well-being of health care professionals; from their experience in quality, department operations, leadership and organization development, management, safe havens, and care teams; and from their roles as president, chief wellness officer, chief quality officer, chair, principal investigator, senior fellow, and board director.Trade ReviewDrs. Swenson and Shanafelt provide the medical community with a practical how-to guide for improving professional fulfillment. Their book is chock full of compelling data, useful conceptual frameworks, and step-by-step guidance that will prove invaluable to organizations committed to improving the conditions where joy, purpose, and meaning in work are possible. Over the past two decades healthcare has evolved into a very transactional model; this book demonstrates that healthcare is also a relational enterprise. Imagine a future where patients receive care from a workforce empowered to meet the professional aspirations that attracted them to medicine in the first place. Such a future is possible!" * Christine A. Sinsky, MD, FACP, VP of Professional Satisfaction, American Medical Association *This book diagnoses and treats the next big challenge in health care around the world…the wellbeing of our workforce. We already know that healthcare is about best care, best health, and best value, but Steve and Tait have been teaching us for years that there is something underpinning everything - how we treat ourselves and our workforce. In this book they take that learning and share it with the world. It is essential reading for anyone who leads and anyone who cares about patients and families. I'm grateful personally for what they have taught me, and I am delighted others can now share in their practical wisdom." * Professor Jason Leitch, CBE, National Clinical Director of Healthcare Quality and Strategy, Scotland *Among the complex dimensions of human resilience, hope is paramount. Swensen and Shanafelt remind us that hope, manifest as “positivity” for our patients, and our own well-being are inextricably linked. In providing a coherent blueprint for the work environment that promotes esprit de corps, this work reminds us that healthcare, in its mission to serve humanity, would do well to refocus on organizational culture as an overarching imperative." * Jeffrey Balser, President and CEO, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Dean, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, and Co-chair, Blue Ridge Group 2018 Report on Clinician Burnout *This book is required reading for every leader in health care today. The challenges we face - building multigenerational and multicultural teams, engaging patients and families in co-producing care and health, keeping up with the rapidly changing science and technology in health care today - can be overwhelming. The practical framework and roadmap here are proven ways for leaders to keep our promises to our patients and our care teams.

Through participation in the labour market, income and related life chances are improved, social protection and security are strengthened, and important psychological and social needs are met, such as striving for skill development, autonomy, social recognition, and social belonging. Yet, globally, only a minority of working people experience these favourable conditions. In developing countries, substantial parts of the population are excluded from paid work, or are confined to informal, poor, and dangerous work. In developed countries, adverse working and employment conditions contribute to a burden of disease. With the advent of economic globalisation and ground-breaking technological innovations, new occupational health risks have emerged, such as stressful high psycho-mental work pressures, increased job insecurity and flexibility, and widely prevalent social tensions and conflicts.

Oxford University Press The Union and Its Members
Book SynopsisThis work explores three key topics in social psychology: the manner in which labour unions shape organizational behaviour, a relationship which has been effectively ignored in the literature; the organization of the union itself, a fascinating test case for the organizational psychologist; and the way in which theories and methods of organizational psychology may assist labor organizations in achieving their goals. Since the union maintains unique characteristics of democracy, conflict, and voluntary participation within a larger organization, the authors offer a detailed study of a union''s dynamics, including demographic and personality predictors of membership, voting behaviour, union commitment and loyalty, the nature of participation, leadership styles, collective bargaining, among other topics. This is the first book to be published in the new Industrial and Organizational Psychology Series. It will be of interest to not only industrial and organizational psychologists in industTrade Review"The authors provide a thorough survey of the relevant academic literature and apply that body of knowledge using concepts of organizational psychology.

Oxford University Press Inc Talent Assessment
Book SynopsisThe field of workplace assessment is at a critical stage in its evolution. The intersection of new technologies, globalization, and market shifts among assessment providers has created dramatic opportunities for the field along with some significant challenges. Artificial intelligence (AI) and other technological advances have altered what is possible in talent acquisition. As a new generation of technology-driven applications comes of age, a host of new issues and opportunities have emerged that require assessment professionals to respond with an informed perspective that balances return-on-investment priorities with appropriate professional and scientific rigor. In response to this context, this volume focuses on trends and innovations in talent assessment, framing practical solutions for managing the disruption in assessment while incorporating new insights and technologies into organizational assessment programs. Featuring chapters from consultants and technologists pushing the edges of what''s possible with new tools, to professionals putting them into practice, and attorneys who focus on minimizing risk, this volume examines these disruptive forces from all sides. The chapters are grouped into four sections that cover (1) advances in the foundational science of assessment, (2) technology-related innovations, (3) updates to regulations, principles, and standards, and (4) assessment for development. Including a variety of case studies that describe talent assessment in action and how organizations of varying sizes develop and implement assessment programs, this book is ideal for practitioners and academics in the field.Table of ContentsSECTION 1: INTRODUCTION: THEMES, STRUCTURE, MAJOR TOPICS OF THIS VOLUME 1.

Although pay has long been a secret, Peter Bamberger's pathbreaking research makes the case that we might want to bring it out in the open. In this authoritative book, he covers the state of the science on when it's wise to be transparent about pay—and how to do it. * Adam Grant, Saul P. Steinberg Professor of Management and Psychology at Wharton, #1 New York Times bestselling author of THINK AGAIN *No doubt that money shapes actions. This simple maxim has led to complex ideas and practices. Peter Bamberger masterfully turns this complexity into timely, relevant, and accurate information choices on how pay can signal the right actions through appropriate transparency. He weaves together research, practices, and tools that will improve pay practices. * Dave Ulrich, Rensis Likert Professor, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, Partner, The RBL Group *Pay transparency practices, ranging from enforced secrecy to the full disclosure of pay, are both controversial and important for employees, employers, and society. Peter Bamberger's comprehensive, balanced, and thoughtful review of a growing body of relevant empirical evidence, along with specific examples, provides information useful for anyone thinking about this important topic. * Jeffrey Pfeffer, Thomas D. Dee II Professor of Organizational Behavior, Stanford's Graduate School of Business and author of Dying for a Paycheck *Exposing Pay is essential reading for business leaders navigating the ever-increasingly complex dynamics of employee remuneration. As a world's foremost thought leader on pay transparency, Dr. Peter Bamberger artfully brings together a decade of research, company learnings and their implications in a book to help you quickly get smart(er) on this pivotal aspect of the employment experience. * Dr. Angela Beatty, Global Head of Talent, Rewards & Experience, Accenture *An enlightening and evidence-based review of research and best practice around pay transparency.

Book SynopsisThe past 40 years have established recruitment as a fundamental area of research to both researchers and practitioners. No longer is recruitment viewed as simply another component of human resource management but rather a strategic tool with wide-ranging implications for organizations. To this extent investigations on the subject have drawn upon diverse perspectives from economics to marketing, highlighting recruitment''s links with multiple aspects of organizational functioning such as selection, onboarding, organizational culture, job performance, and turnover.The goal of this handbook is to provide an integrative and comprehensive summary of the state of recruitment research. It is hoped that by providing insight to both theoretical and empirical underpinnings of the topic this volume will focus readers to the important issues affecting our understanding and application of recruitment concepts; and provide structure toward current thinking and future exploration of the field.

Columbia University Press Learn or Die
Book SynopsisA cutting-edge synthesis of behavioral psychology, cognitive science, and educational theory that teaches businesses how to learn better and faster.Trade ReviewAs digital technologies race ahead there is a growing need for creativity and innovation. But how can we build organizations that foster the highest levels of creativity and innovation? Learn or Die is a blueprint for creating such organizations. -- Erik Brynjolffson, Co-author, The Second Machine Age In Learn or Die Ed Hess knits an impressive fabric of insights from widely disparate strands of thought, experience, research, and real cases. Hess harnesses new evidence to challenge old nostrums. Practical and provocative, this book ranges across vital issues such as learning, innovation, team-building, and leadership. Read this book and prosper; read it before your competitor gets to it. -- Robert Bruner, Dean, Darden School of Business This book does a beautiful job bringing together the most important ideas in organizational learning, established by academics and practitioners over the past thirty years or more, into one place. -- Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management, Harvard Business School An excellent book. In Learn or Die, Edward D. Hess captures a central element to enhancing and sustaining success as a business organization or as one of its leaders-being a high-performance learning organization. This book is a thought-provoking study of the technological advances making this need ever more relevant and provides a comprehensive roadmap of the culture, leadership, employee learning behaviors, HR policies and other organizational processes necessary to build and lead such an organization. -- Roger Carlile, Executive Vice President and CFO, FTI Consulting Learn or Die is a thoughtful and easy-to-read synthesis of the leading thinking on organizational and individual learning. Not only does Hess neatly summarizes what a savvy business person needs to know, but he also provides practical suggestions that will allow the reader to take action. This book contains essential lessons on an important topic-I highly recommend it. -- Joe Timko, chief strategy officer, ADP Learn or Die is a tremendous look into the requirements of high performance individual and team learning. Ed Hess does a masterful job of conveying that learning happens best in a humanistic work environment, enabled by leaders who in reality are great coaches striving to serve others. Learn or Die will help anyone who wants to improve themselves-it changes the game. -- Sam Presti, executive vice president and general manager of Oklahoma City Thunder The smart money is on innovation, which depends on personal and group learning. Ed Hess combines a tour d'horizon of what is known about individual learning and about conducive environments for organizational learning with fascinating case studies of companies who use learning to win. Any leader who needs to encourage innovation will find information and reflections that will be both humbling and inspiring. -- Michael Balay, head of global strategy, Cargill, Inc. Learn or Die in a masterful manner makes it clear that consistent business growth can only be achieved through learning-there is no other way-and that the pace of business change today requires a scientific approach to building a high performance learning organization. For those responsible for leading, Learn or Die should be mandatory reading. -- Terry S. Brown, chairman and chief executive officer, Edens Investment Trust Learn or Die allows the reader to not only to visualize the future, but also, and more importantly, to create the future by unleashing the power and potential of building a learning organization. It has been demonstrated that strategies, systems and processes can be copied by others, yet a company's people, and the way they learn, are true differentiators. Ed Hess captures the essence of a high performing organization and shares his "secret sauce" through an actionable blueprint for becoming a leading-edge learner and creating a high performing organization. -- Jeffrey S. Shuman, senior vice president and chief human resources officer, Quest Diagnostics Ed Hess is doing some of the most interesting and important work in management today and his newest book, Learn or Die, is already my personal favorite. This book is characteristic of all of Ed's work-providing wise but straight-forward and pragmatic advice on finding the right people, creating the right environment and installing the right processes to embed learning. In a globalizing world, where adapting to and learning from difference is likely to be the most critical source of competitive advantage, Learn or Die is a must read for any manager interested in solid, research-based advice on how to survive the increasingly unpredictable, chaotic world we live in. -- Jeanne Liedtka, coauthor of Solving Problems with Design Thinking To achieve and sustain real business success in the 21st century-individual and organizational-you need to understand and leverage the new science of learning. Fortunately, there's "Learn or Die" by Ed Hess, who explains the "why" and "how" better than anybody. This deeply informed, yet practical book provides the new road map for a better "you" and a better company. Read or miss out. -- Andy Fleming, CEO, Way to Grow, Inc. Learn or Die makes a compelling case for the need to create high-performance, human-oriented learning organizations-and for the remarkable degree to which we are all capable of succeeding as leaders by following a path of ongoing, integrative learning. Combining fascinating behavioral research, actionable advice, and superb analysis of real-world business examples, Ed Hess has crafted essential reading for those seeking to prepare their organizations-and themselves-to thrive in a global marketplace characterized by rapid change, fierce competition, and a desperate need for leadership based on principles that are smart, sustainable, and, above all, humane. -- Ming-Jer Chen, former president, Academy of Management I read Learn or Die and found myself intrigued and frankly, a little uncomfortable. So I read it a second time and found that it made me rethink many aspects of my own management style and the guidance I provide our portfolio companies. What hit me like a ton of bricks from Ed's research was the realization that the current approach based on traditional management techniques and performance metrics was unlikely to be both effective and sustainable in the rapidly changing, Darwinian world of venture capital investing and technology innovation. His vision of the learning systems and cultural commitments that define a truly high performance organization is a must read for any business that wants to prepare itself to meet the challenges and succeed in todays business environment-before its too late. -- Frank H. Foster, managing partner, Draper Fisher Jurvetson Frontier and the Gideon Hixon Fund This is by far the best book I've read on the subject of learning. -- Shane Parrish Farnam Street Weekly Learn or Die is a book everyone who is serious about learning and growth - personally or organizationally - should read. If you thought you were serious about it, Learn or Die will take you to a whole new level with tools, case studies, and insights that will challenge your commitment to learning. Leadership Now A must-read for learning professionals. TD: Talent Development Magazine Hess does the great service of examining the processes of both organizational and individual learning...

Columbia University Press The Return of Work in Critical Theory
Book SynopsisThis book presents a new account of the significance and the human costs of work. A collaboration between experts in philosophy, social theory, and clinical psychology, it brings together empirical research with incisive analysis of work’s political stakes to present a diagnosis of the pathologies of contemporary work and propose powerful remedies.Trade ReviewThis groundbreaking book restores something often missing in critical social theories of labor: the embodied and affective dimensions of the lived experience of working. In articulating this interdisciplinary perspective, the authors show that addressing the forms of injustice and harm to which workers are subjected demands more than improved labor market choices; it requires that we ensure the social and physical conditions for genuinely meaningful work experiences. Urgently needed and highly recommended. -- Joel Anderson, Utrecht UniversityThis is a unique book jointly written by an interdisciplinary group of four international scholars. Making the most of decades of research that speak for the long-forgotten centrality of work in the everyday production of subjectivity, it is a crucial contribution to the critical theory of the twenty-first century. If you wonder why capitalism has not managed to make people 'happy' in the workplace, or why the most successful managers today argue that firms need to put 'people first,' this book leads you to the root cause. People at work have high expectations with regard to their own conceptions of justice and autonomy, and the current model of capitalist management cannot do with their critique of work. At a turning point in history, this book presses us to see that without addressing the critique of work formulated by workers themselves, firms will lack the cooperation they so desperately seek, and democracy as we know it, segregated from the economy, simply cannot be a viable project. -- Isabelle Ferreras, author of Firms as Political Entities: Saving Democracy Through Economic BicameralismWith succinct clarity, this book makes a fresh and original case for a critical inquiry into the nature of work—what it means, why it matters, and the impact it has upon our lives. Drawing on the psychodynamics of work and recognition theory, the authors provide a robust account of the experience of working which is both compelling and persuasive. Of particular value is the translation of theory into practice via a striking case study examining work organization and mental health. -- Ruth Yeoman, author of Meaningful Work and Workplace Democracy: A Philosophy of Work and a Politics of MeaningfulnessThe Return of Work in Critical Theory shows that work has a significant impact in people’s lives, for it provides not merely a paycheck but also a number of psychological and moral goods. Good work contributes substantially to positive mental health, and stressful work can contribute substantially to psychological suffering. In addition to highlighting legitimate worries about unemployment, underemployment, and precarious work, the authors examine normative expectations concerning justice and autonomy in work and sketch possibilities for transforming working life into a healthier, more cooperative, and more democratic enterprise. -- Andrea Veltman, author of Meaningful WorkThere is little engagement in contemporary critical theory with the issue of work in general, and with the project of a normative theory in which work is central, in particular. The discussion in The Return of Work in Critical Theory is urgently needed for critical theory to become capable to react to the normative struggles around work which many diagnose in contemporary societies. -- Titus Stahl, University of GroningenTable of ContentsContentsPreface and AcknowledgmentsIntroductionPart I: Worries About Work1.

Little, Brown & Company On Killing Remotely
Book SynopsisA “can’t-miss for anyone interested in current military affairs,” On Killing Remotely reveals and explores the costs—to individual soldiers and to society—of the way we wage war today (Kirkus Reviews, starred). Throughout history society has determined specific rules of engagement between adversaries in armed conflict. With advances in technology, from armor to in the Middle Ages to nerve gas in World War I to weapons of mass destruction in our own time, the rules have constantly evolved. Today, when killing the enemy can seem palpably risk-free and tantamount to playing a violent video game, what constitutes warfare? What is the effect of remote combat on individual soldiers? And what are the unforeseen repercussions that could affect us all? Lt Col Wayne Phelps, former commander of a Remotely Piloted Aircraft unit, addresses these questions and many others as he tells the story of the men and women of today’s “chair force.” Exploring the ethics of remote military engagement, the misconceptions about PTSD among RPA operators, and the specter of military weaponry controlled by robots, his book is an urgent and compelling reminder that it should always be difficult to kill another human being lest we risk losing what makes us human.

The analysis is grounded in workers' accounts of their experiences of work stress, derived from the authors' qualitative research.

Little, Brown Book Group Sensemaking
Book SynopsisA FINANCIAL TIMES BUSINESS BOOK OF THE MONTH (APRIL 2017)Humans have become subservient to algorithms. Every day brings a new Moneyball fix - a maths whiz who will crack open an industry with clean fact-based analysis rather than human intuition and experience. As a result, we have stopped thinking. Machines do it for us. Christian Madsbjerg argues that our fixation with data often masks stunning deficiencies, and the risks for humankind are enormous. Blind devotion to number crunching imperils our businesses, our educations, our governments, and our life savings. Too many companies have lost touch with the humanity of their customers, while marginalising workers with arts-based skills. Contrary to popular thinking, Madsbjerg shows how many of today''s biggest success stories stem not from ''quant'' thinking but from deep, nuanced engagement with culture, language, and history. He calls his method sensemaking. In thiTrade ReviewAt Ford, we believe the key to creating products and experiences that truly make people's lives better is to deeply understand our customers. Technology alone isn't enough. So we've changed our product development process to focus on the customer experience--and not just the vehicle itself. In Sensemaking, Christian Madsbjerg explains with depth and structure how this is done.This is essential reading for anyone in the world of business and everyone with a concern for how human beings make sense of their world. Highly recommended.Companies must master not just big data, but thick data - insight into culture, history, and the social structures underlying human behaviour. Sensemaking is the road map for how this works, and it is essential reading for anyone looking to thrive in a world of digital disruption.Madsbjerg's Sensemaking is a powerful defense of human intelligence to solve problems. Anyone who dreams of leading a company should read it - and heed his wonderfully contrarian advice.With roots in Aristotle, Sensemaking calls on humanists to reinterpret their contribution while showing others how they cannot do without it.

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Psychodynamic Organisational Theory Key Concepts
Book SynopsisOn the surface, people go to work and come home again. They sometimes manage people while most are managed themselves. But beneath the function and structures of the work itself, a whole range of emotions affects the success of the relationship between employee and manager and ultimately the organisation they both belong to. Psychodynamic Organisational Theory: Key Concepts and Cases provides a comprehensive but accessible introduction to this fascinating field of study. Featuring case vignettes which bring the various concepts to life, the book is divided into four parts. Part I looks at how the individual relates to the organisation and the unconscious energies they bring, while Part II examines group dynamics and how they affect productivity, including a chapter on meetings. Part III explores the realm of leadership and what roles a manager can play in managing their staff, while Part IV introduces the idea of personality and describes how the managerâs personality influences management dynamics as well as the wider organisational culture. Central to the book, as well as the idea that organisational phenomena are often unconscious, is the understanding that relationships are always reciprocal. Through complex psychological dynamics manager and employee influence and change each other during the process of managing and being managed.This text will be essential reading for students and scholars of leadership, HRM, and organizational psychology, as well as consultants and managers looking for practical insights into how human relationships affect the success of every organisation.Table of ContentsForeword Chapter 1: Management and employees Part ONE: The employee in the communityChapter 2: The dual relationship of individuals to groups Chapter 3: Cooperation and psychological defencesChapter 4: Acceptance of new employees into the organisationChapter 5: The individual expulsion from the communityPart TWO: Group processes Chapter 6: The group as an independent unitChapter 7: The productivity of groups Chapter 8: Meetings Part THREE: Management Chapter 9: The content of managementChapter 10: The manager as teacherChapter 11: The manager as authority Chapter 12: The management group Part FOUR: The manager’s personalityChapter 13: Personality and management Chapter 14: The maturity of the manager Chapter 15: The managers’ influence on the organizationBibliography

The book goes on to examine key themes in existentialism and how they show up in the coaching space, including practical models as well as their application to organisations and leadership. Jacob concludes by evaluating ethical dimensions of working existentially and offers guidance on how to establish an existential coaching practice, including how to gain clients and build relationships with strategic partners. With reflective questions, exercises, interventions and activities throughout, An Introduction to Existential Coaching will be invaluable for anyone wanting to live and work at greater depth or to succeed as an existential coach. Accessibly written and with a wide selection of references and resources, An Introduction to Existential Coaching is a vital guide for coaches in training as well as an inspiring addition to the repertoir of experienced practitioners. It serves academics and students to understand existential philosophy and allows professionals with coaching responsibilities to access more meaningful conversations.Trade Review"Coaching gains a great deal of depth when it pays attention to the paradoxes of human existence and learns to work with the trials and tribulations of human existence in a philosophical manner. In this clear and introductory book Yannick Jacob shows you how this can be done." - Professor Emmy van Deurzen PhD, MPsych, MPhil, FBPsS, CPsychol, FBACP, UKCPF, HCPCreg; author of 17 books including Existential Perspectives on Coaching and Principal at the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling, UK"Trained by the best in existential therapy and influenced by the leaders in existential positive psychology or second wave positive psychology (PP2.0), Yannick Jacob’s book makes a unique contribution to the coaching profession by combining the depth of existential philosophy and the clarity and optimism of PP2.0. Personally, I firmly believe that all coaches, whether they are in life coaching or positive executive coaching, can benefit from Yannick’s book for its refreshing positive approach to an ancient existential problem. Therefore, I highly recommend this little gem to both novice and seasoned coaches." - Dr. Paul T. P. Wong, President, International Network on Personal Meaning; Originator of Existential Positive Psychology and Integrative Meaning Therapy"Coaching unsurprisingly is often fixated with goal focused conversations. But growth can happen through insight, understanding and meaning. Existential approaches allow us the grace, space and time to be with clients as they journey through these aspects of their life towards meaning and purpose. This book provides an outstanding insight into existential coaching from one of coaching’s new rising stars." - Professor Jonathan Passmore, University of Evora, Portugal, and Henley Business School, UK"Yannick Jacob is a true pioneer, intellectually and practically, in exploring the fertile ground at the intersection of positive psychology, existential philosophy, and coaching. This book is a wonderful distillation of his thinking and expertise, touching skilfully and insightfully upon many important topics, and will be an excellent and inspiring resource for both scholars and practitioners." - Dr. Tim Lomas, author of 8 books including The Positive Power of Negative Emotions, The Happiness Dictionary and Second Wave Positive Psychology: Embracing the Dark Side of Life"Existential themes have always been at the heart of coaching - after all, we're all human and, coaching, whatever its focus, deals with the strangely cognitive, meaning-making, mortality-aware beast that is the human! Many coaches, though, shy away from looking at existential themes, often wrongly assuming, or even fearing, that deeper issues of meaning, purpose and our confrontation with being human, are best left to the therapist. Yannick is part of a rapidly growing movement of coaches who disagree with this dichotomy and recognise that coaching is always about being human and cannot escape the gravitational pull of the existential givens. In this book, Yannick brings to life the ideas and practices of existential coaching in a way that will allow any coach, new or seasoned, to begin feeling their way into fresh territory or to give language and theory to practices they have naturally been drawn to. A valuable and much needed book for the coaching world." - Nick Bolton, Founder & CEO, Animas Centre for Coaching"I see so many people who are struggling with problems around meaning and purpose nowadays, it's almost epidemic. That's why great coaching can't shy away from addressing existential concerns and has to deal with them in a hands-on and down-to-earth manner. This is exactly what Yannick is doing with his existential coaching and I'm so glad he finally got to put all of his knowledge and experience together into this work. Bravo!" - Seph Fontane Pennock, co-founder, Positive Psychology Program"This is an insightful and enlightening introduction to the emerging discipline of existential coaching thoughtfully presented by a passionate and courageous practitioner." - Professor Christian van Nieuwerburgh, Executive Director of Growth Coaching International; Professor of Coaching and Positive Psychology, University of East London, UK"As long as I can remember, I have been drawn to the idea that the world would be so much better if people truly and deeply contemplated what their lives are really all about. When I started researching meaning, purpose, and existential matters, I found out that, actually, people often freak out if you ask them what their lives are all about! To confront people with such a huge, boundless question can create uncertainty, doubt, even fear. People want to have some sense of safety when diving into these most deep of questions. An Introduction to Existential Coaching squarely provides a beautiful solution to this conundrum. By showing how the action-oriented structure of coaching can be used to help people celebrate, rather than fear, uncertainty, this wonderful book shows coaches and other practitioners how to cultivate the inspiration and safety people need to explore and give birth to the best their lives can be about." - Michael F. Steger, PhD; founding director, Center for Meaning and Purpose, Colorado State University, USA"Yannick does more than give a deep, new meaning to coaching, he also provides a challenging and refreshing way to view our own existence and purpose. Reading this challenged the way I think and behave, and though uncomfortable, will likely change how I coach. This book will be recommended to everyone on our team." - Bill Eckstrom, speaker, author and President, EcSell Institute"I love the existential approach. It takes you deeper into your personal meaning in life and the experience of authenticity. Combine it with a strong foundation of coaching and you get an inspiring marriage. This book is a wonderful reflection of that marriage, providing you with a clear understanding of both theory and practice within existential coaching. Whether you seek personal transformation, or the coaching of others, this book would be an essential tool in your tool-box." - Itai Ivtzan PhD, Associate Professor, Naropa University, USA; author of Awareness is Freedom: The Adventure of Psychology and Spirituality"Yannick Jacob's book delivers on its promise to introduce his understanding of existential coaching to a wider readership. The writing is clear and accessible and Jacob's enthusiasm for the subject is evident throughout." - Professor Ernesto Spinelli, ES Associates, UK"This is a must-read for any coach, new or experienced, who wants to begin to learn more about the existential approach to their craft. Yannick’s experience, expertise and passion for the topic shine through, as he presents the fundamentals of existential coaching, whilst also giving his insights into the industry as a whole." - Sasha van Deurzen-Smith, Existential Coach and Programme Leader of the MA Existential Coaching at the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling, UK"This book is a valuable resource to coaches seeking to go deeper with their clients. The book not only identifies the complex web of existential concerns experienced by clients, but also provides practical coaching approaches that help clients to meaningfully examine the underlying drivers of their behaviours. The book has a secondary goal of helping the reader to identify existential themes in their own life, thus refining their coaching offering." - Richard Thorby, ACC, MBA(IMD) leadership coach"In his book, An Introduction to Existential Coaching, Yannick Jacob gives us an excellent insight into and positioning of this important philosophical yet incredibly relevant approach. Existential questions are at the core of many presenting issues in coaching and this book will greatly deepen how you support psychological wellbeing in your client. The existential inquiry questions throughout the book create a rich toolkit for self-reflection and for working with others. The book prompted me to reflect on what I do and how I do it and reading it was an excellent way to reflect on my current boundaries of practice. I highly recommend this book for seasoned and new coaches alike and I will be adding it to my practitioner's library. Thank you for writing this important introductory volume." - Dr Magdalena Bak-Maier, High Performance Coach and Heart & Mind Integration Method Pioneer"Coaching is often seen as a way to support clients in achieving their goals. In today’s complex and uncertain world, there’s an urgent need for coaching to help clients open up, and explore, the bigger questions of life and existence, and to find ways to live with the uncertainty of life. This book is an important contribution to our profession as it seeks to address the deeper concerns of the world in which we live and work." - Aboodi Shabi, leadership coach"Existential writers are not known for their brevity. In contrast, Yannick Jacob has managed to distil an enormous amount of existential philosophy and coaching practice into this short volume. This is the book I wish I had when I first began working as a coach many years ago. It opens the door to the world of existential coaching and maps out a landscape that any coach, whether experienced or new to the world of coaching, can explore. The author’s own authenticity is there on every page, sharing personal insights and questions to reflect upon. Overall, a wonderful introduction to existential coaching, which I thoroughly enjoyed reading - it reminded me why I coach." - Billy Byrne, executive coach and leadership development specialist"I suspect that the concept of existential coaching is still, by and large, met with bewilderment in the coaching community. Yet, this approach has much to offer, especially at this time of great uncertainties, so a primer on existential coaching is timely indeed. Jacob's book is easy to read and well structured, offering a step by step introduction to this field that even those without previous knowledge and experience may find useful and may be encouraged to incorporate some of its elements into their practice." - Dr Nash Popovic, co-author of Personal Consultancy: A Model for Integrating Coaching and Counselling; founder of the first postgraduate programme in Integrative Counselling and Coaching"Existential questions and yearnings are as old as humanity itself, and it seems that the fast-paced, digital, and global twenty-first century presents its own unique set of challenges. In the face of the uncertainty and instability of our times, mental health professionals are in need to address pressing existential concerns in an accessible yet profound manner. In this inspiring book, Yannick Jacob takes us through a journey of self-discovery and offers a blueprint for living a full and meaningful life. The book weaves together key principles, insightful reflections and hands-on interventions into a comprehensive, integrative and approachable framework. Direct, clear and well-researched, this book presents valuable ideas and engaging practical tools for coaches, therapists, educators, students, and essentially any human being striving to reach increased self-understanding and growth." - Dr Pninit Russo-Netzer, Diplomate Clinician in Logotherapy; co-editor of Meaning in Positive and Existential Psychology and Clinical Perspectives on Meaning: Positive and Existential Psychotherapy"Yannick’s book fills a significant gap in the existential coaching literature in that it can be readily applied in the organisational space and is accessible to everyone including those just beginning to explore what existential and/or coaching means. Knowing Yannick’s commitment and passion to existentialism and coaching I can truly say that we are fortunate he has given his energy and time to creating a work that will hopefully widen the understanding and practice of existential thinking in the coaching space. It will be an excellent resource for any coaching training programmes of the future as well as to those experienced coaches (in house or independent) who have often wondered what existential coaching is and how to practically apply it to their client work." - Angela Jopling, leadership coach and coaching supervisor, BrightStar Executive Coaching"Having been described as a quiet mover and shaker in the field of coaching psychology in the UK, I am perhaps well-placed as a witness to the innovations (or lack of them) in this field. However, just occasionally one’s belief in human potential is revived through encountering an inspirational and life affirming read. Yannick’s new text does just that. I enjoyed reading about his own journey and how this has translated into his practice and teaching. He models the existential commitment in every word and does not shy away from engaging with the big questions. It is a book that is destined to become a ‘go to’ title for any practitioner wanting their minds opened, not only to the essentials of existential coaching, but to how to live and work with courage, passion and authentically in tough times. I have reviewed many books and articles in this field, yet none has given me so much pleasure as this. Writing this endorsement has been a gift and I am reminded throughout of the words of the poet Rumi, who said: ‘Let the beauty of what you love, be what you do.’ Yannick’s contribution exemplifies this and more." - Margaret Chapman-Clarke, positive psychologist, existential coach; editor, Mindfulness in the Workplace: An evidence-based approach to improving wellbeing and maximising performance"Yannick’s book, An Introduction to Existential Coaching, brought me back to the excitement I felt when I first discovered the existential approach. Thank you! I’ve always appreciated anyone who can wrangle the words of something as seemingly illusive as existential coaching. Not only did Yannick make these concepts accessible, but enjoyable. I smiled almost the entire time reading the book. The only time I didn’t have a wide grin on my face was when I got to the marketing chapter. During that chapter I was nodding my head in agreement. I think any coach who is serious about growing their business will understand that reaction. Yannick’s style brings to the surface, in an authentic way, brain tingling questions, valuable ideas, and important challenges. He successfully integrates complex philosophical underpinnings with practical implications for coaching, which makes the book accessible to new and experienced coaches alike." - Linda DeLuca, author, An Exploration of the Existential Orientation to Coaching"Reframing existentialism from its dark associations to something that is profoundly empowering - this is not an easy task! Yannick excels at unpacking big ideas in a playful, analytical and down-to-earth way and communicate practical applications in the coaching setting. He walks the talk - you can almost hear his challenging curiosity and passion for life speak through the pages - encouraging and reminding to reflect, open our ears to the ephemeral nature of moments and to embrace the rawness and uncertainty of life as a source for meaning. A mindset of aliveness. This is a bold and compelling message - not just for the coach reader and their clients but also for humanity." - Georgie Nightingall, life coach, trainer, speaker, philosophy teacher; founder, Trigger Conversations"Existential ideas and therapeutic approaches are concerned with questions about the nature of human existence, inviting us to reflect critically and creatively about some of the key challenges of our lives, including: finding purpose and meaning in life, facing uncertainty, crisis and mortality, taking responsibility, living authentically, belonging and more. In this inspiring and thought-provoking book, Yannick Jacob skilfully demonstrates how these ideas can be incorporated into the practice of coaching, to reflect on clients' life choices, concerns and challenges, and help them achieve their desired transformations. With a strong, practice-based approach that draws on the author’s vast experience and the existing research in this area, this book provides a thorough, engaging and creative guide to existential coaching, and is an essential reading for all coaches, scholars and trainees." – Dr Rona Hart, Programme Leader, MSc Applied Positive Psychology, University of East London, UK"As a practitioner of existential coaching I welcome Yannick Jacob’s book very much. It is a thorough, inspiring and well written introduction to the principles of existential coaching as well as the philosophical stance, attitudes and competences necessary for coaches who would like to work with other people in this life-affirming way. Even though the topic is complex and not always easy to grasp Yannick writes in a light and motivating way, connecting with the reader by means of important questions for reflection throughout the book. My hope is that this book will help more coaches take up the existential approach and thus develop competences that can truly help people with the work towards living more authentic and hopefully better lives." - Anne Kongsted Krum, senior consultant, Cabi; existential coach, DilemmaCoaching and Stress-Profilen.dk"Reading these pages will transform both yours and your client’s lives. Like many freshly qualified coaches, I too felt the need to niche after completing my training. My search for a specialty began and ended at Yannick’s training weekend in existential coaching. This book strikes the same delicate balance as the course. Yannick’s welcoming conversational-style invitation to explore is underpinned by a well-researched foundation, offering a life-changing opportunity for coaches and clients alike. Yannick makes this emerging and often misunderstood area of coaching accessible for anyone seeking to dive deeper into life’s unknowns. Simple, easy to read, yet profoundly needed today." - Marcie Boyer, existential life coach; author, What I Know about Jumping: Real life lessons on finding the courage to make major life change"If I would not be an existential practitioner already, I would want to become one after reading this book! Yannick has written an accessible introduction into existential coaching. He explains difficult concepts and complex phenomena in simple words. He embeds the unique position of the existential coach within the wider field of coaching in general. Yannick’s passion for his job shines through his words and personal examples. The author has a bridge-building approach: he is both personal and relational, informed by existential philosophy and positive psychology, both pragmatic and informed by research. Building bridges is of utmost importance in our era of disintegration of people helping professions. This book is timely, as the coaching discipline seems to have fallen into the grip of superficial solution-focused approaches, but Yannick shows the importance and the appeal of basing the practice of coaching on existential foundations. He introduces key concepts from existential philosophy, and his exercises invite the reader to engage actively with the concepts. This book offers readers the first simple stepping stones on the complex road towards existential work." - Dr Joel Vos PhD, researcher and lecturer at Metanoia Institute; leader, professional doctorate, Existential Psychotherapy and Counselling at the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling, UK; author, Meaning in Life: An evidence-based handbook for practitioners"The domain of start-ups represents a special and unique context for existential coaching. Start-ups by nature are fast-paced, action-oriented, and much of the learning is on the job. Knowing has become obsolete. How we behave when not knowing has become the new currency. Many people show up for work blind and groping in the dark. Many eyes have not yet opened to behold the surprising sights of true leadership in the modern workforce. The existential leader is the new holy grail. The coaching space that Yannick lays out allows this leader to emerge and thrive." - Matthew Laffer, Founder & CEO, GoalspriingTable of ContentsList of Figures. Acknowledgements.
