There is an increasing body of evidence, that the single most important aspect of being a leader relates to managing emotions effectively, and this management goes way beyond simply understanding' emotional intelligence; it is in fact a practice and one that is intimately connected with personal development and growth, and with energy. Energy, as Mapping Motivation made clear, is synonymous with motivation.

Taylor & Francis Workplace Monitoring and Technology
Book SynopsisWorkplace Monitoring and Technology aims to showcase results of research and explanatory theories that influence employees' acceptance of the fact that work is monitored using ICT-based monitoring tools. Work monitoring, understood as obtaining, storing and reporting the results of collected observations, has always been a managerial task. Traditionally it was carried out by supervisors who, while overseeing the work of employees, would draw conclusions from their observations and implement corrective actions. The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to monitor the working employee and their performance has changed the methods of monitoring, and the popularization of remote work has increased interest in searching for new monitoring systems using the full potential of new ICT solutions. The new developments in ICT have caused smart monitoring systems and new solutions to evolve in electronic work monitoring based on the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence,

Taylor & Francis Ltd Pierre Bourdieu in Studies of Organization and
Book SynopsisThere is increasing academic interest in how Pierre Bourdieu's sociology can be applied to management and organization studies (MOS). In a context of increasing complexity faced by organizations and those who work in them due to globalization, neoliberalism, austerity, financial crisis, ecological issues, populism and developing technologies, there is untapped potential to use Bourdieu's theoretical inventions to arrive at greater understandings of how change, transition and crisis shape work, organizational life as well as relations between different organizational and sectorial fields.This book aims to take a specific focus on the relational nature of Bourdieu's work and its relevance for contemporary organizations.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Fostering Wisdom at Work
Book SynopsisMost people can name dozens of knowledgeable people in their private and business lives, but highly value the very limited number deemed as wise.

Wisdom, as an important aspect of a growing global knowledge economy, lacks the frameworks and theories needed for fostering workplace wisdom.This book brings a scholarly scrutiny to the study of wisdom, propelling the attribute to prominence within the broad field of workforce development and particularly within the growing context of a global knowledge economy. It investigates the characteristics of wisdom and offers theories, frameworks, techniques to foster wisdom in the workplace, recognizing it as a vital key to success for individuals and society.The ideal audience of this book includes senior learninTable of ContentsPART ONE: PERSONAL WISDOM CHAPTER ONE: Our personal journeyChapter Two: Knowledge, Experience, and AgeChapter Three: Learning and UnlearningChapter Four: Pathways of WisdomPART TWO: COLLECTIVE WISDOMChapter Five: A Mentoring RelationshipChapter Six: Workplace Resilience, Adaptability, and ConnectionChapter Seven: Moving to a Wise Workplace

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Positive Impact Mindset
Book SynopsisWe are facing a new and urgent challenge when collaborating across organizations, and with broader stakeholder groups: how to overcome polarization. It has never been harder to find a common vision, when opinions are often considered as facts. This book empowers changemakers and business leaders to understand how successful organizations in the 21st century require leaders to become fluent in collaborating outside of traditional business boundaries. Such collaboration often involves working with parties that hold very different values, opinions and priorities, and working with them requires new skills. Building on the book Five Superpowers for Co-Creators, Katrin Muff presents a number of real-world examples that demonstrate how organizations have successfully managed to address these challenges. Examples of such unlikely but successful cross-sector collaboration include a project addressing plastic waste in Switzerland, and two European city government projects that rTrade Review"At last, a book for change-makers, innovators, and leaders from business, civil society, and governmental organizations that takes on the greatest change challenge of our day: the polarization explosion.

It is about why listening to employees matters and how to do it well.Leading the Listening Organisation reveals not just the practices and processes that underpin effective listening but also the leadership characteristics and mindsets necessary to create resilient organisations that feel fair to work in, where people want to speak up, and where new ideas can flourish.

The authors bring decades of international experience and expertise in communicating with employees across public, private, and third sector organisations. Rich in practical tools, processes, and working frameworks and Trade Review"In this new book, the authors rightly highlight how difficult, yet valuable, it is to genuinely listen to employees. As labour markets tighten, flexible working becomes the norm and Zoomers gain prominence in the workplace, organisations that invest in effective internal communication will gain a competitive advantage.”Steve Shepperson-Smith, President, Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) for 2023“When I was a child, my mum used to say ‘you have two ears and one mouth for a reason’; how right she was. Continual listening needs to be part of every organisation’s DNA. Only by listening can we prioritise where energy is needed to improve employees’ experiences, and, as a result, maximise our potential both as individuals and as an organisation.”Alison Ramsay, Director of Employee Experience, BAE Systems“Leading the Listening Organisation: Creating Organisations that Flourish connects the many disparate threads of successful change, communication and engagement and is a must-read for anyone responsible for the employees’ contribution. Having had the privilege of working with Howard Krais, Mike Pounsford and Kevin Ruck I was expecting this book to be well-referenced and anchored in academic theory. But what it does so well is connect the many foundation stones necessary to create organisations that flourish. It truly is the advent of the listening age and for anyone responsible for any aspect of communications this is a great time to be in the profession.”James Harkness, Partner, HarknessKennett“In an era of polarisation of societal opinion and values, effective listening is more important than ever in organisations. This book explains how organisations can listen and engage with their employees, building trust and navigating change. Howard, Kevin and Mike share a lifetime of organisational experience on how to create a fair and inclusive workplace where employees feel heard and valued in the ‘listening age’.”Adrian Cropley OAM, Founding Director, Centre for Strategic Communication Excellence“Active listening to employees is critical for organisations seeking to create a positive workplace culture and meet their goals. This means not only hearing employee feedback but also engaging with them to address their concerns. A listening culture can enhance employee engagement, trust, and collaboration. This insightful book offers practical strategies for anyone interested in enhancing their organisation's communication and performance.”Jennifer Sproul, Chief Executive, Institute of Internal Communication“As the noise around our working lives increases, this is a very timely investigation into how better listening and authentic conversations will deliver lasting engagement in our organisations.”Marc Wright, Founder, simply-communicate“With the changes that have taken place over recent decades, employees engage and commit where they recognise alignment in purpose between themselves and their organisation. Gone are the days of tell, replaced by an increased requirement to listen. This book is a great guide for leaders and HR professionals at all levels to understand what listening truly means”.Simon Smith, Chief People Officer, Aston Martin“This book is essential reading for those looking to unleash the power of listening to turbo-charge their organisations. Better listening forges deeper understanding, connection and empathy. In short, it proves those who listen harder learn – and achieve – more.”Katie Macaulay, Managing Director, AB; host of The Internal Comms Podcast“Who doesn’t like to be listened to?! Listening is perhaps one of the most under-valued skills in the workplace and yet, as this book demonstrates, one that makes a huge difference to wellbeing, engagement and performance. Drawing on lots of great research and evidence, this thorough and practical book provides essential reading for anyone who wants to help organisations, and the people within them, listen better.”Hilary Scarlett, International speaker, consultant and author on change management and neuroscience at Scarlett & Grey“Internal communication is a two-way process; practitioners need to hear what staff are thinking and explain it. This book looks at the sources and methods which are increasingly common practice offering the clear advice you would expect from highly experienced practitioners Krais and Pounsford. Ruck’s distillation of the most up to date academic research means this accessible read will be invaluable to students and professionals alike.”Liam FitzPatrick, Author and communications best practice advisor“This volume presents an intelligent analysis of a phenomenon that continues to be as critical as it is yet to be fully grasped: what happens when corporations have to listen – and listen meaningfully? The authors offer a most valuable perspective from the sphere of managerial practice which will contribute to a more systematic understanding of this complex area in an age when fundamental questions have to be both asked and heard.”Bogdan Costea, Professor of Management and Society, Lancaster University“Active listening is hard, but aided by examples from the authors’ own research this insightful book explores how leaders who do it effectively deepen connections and make for more meaningful and productive organisations. This book is an important addition to anyone’s shelf and helps address the post-pandemic expectations of communication having greater genuine dialogue.”Russell Grossman, Head of UK Government Internal Communication ProfessionTable of Contents1.
