Change initiatives fail because humans are hardwired to return to what's worked for us in the past. This book offers a straightforward process for rewiring ourselves and those we lead to be more change-capable. Change initiatives fail because humans are hardwired to return to what's worked for us in the past. This book offers a straightforward process for rewiring ourselves and those we lead to be more change-capable. Erika Andersen says avoiding change has been a historical imperative. In this book, she shows how we can overcome that reluctance and get good at making necessary change. Using a fictional story about a jewelry business changing generational hands, Andersen lays out a five-step model for addressing both this human side of change and its practical aspects: Step 1: Clarify the change and why it's needed—Get clear on what the change is and the benefits it will bring.Step 2: Envision the future state—Build a shared picture of the post-change future.Step 3: Build the change—Bring together a change team, engage key stakeholders, and plan the change.Step 4: Lead the transition—Build a transition plan that supports the human side of the change, then engage the whole organization in making the change.Step 5: Keep the change going—Work to make your organization permanently more change-capable. With opportunities to self-reflect and try out the ideas and approaches throughout, this book is a practical guide to thriving in this era of nonstop change.PrefaceChapter 1: How Change Has ChangedChapter 2: We Prefer StabilityChapter 3: Let the Re-Wiring BeginChapter 4: Changing on Three Levels – Leaders, Individuals, OrganizationsChapter 5: The Change ModelChapter 6: Start at the Beginning – Step 1, Clarify the Change and Why It's NeededChapter 7: What Change Will Bring – Step 2, Envision the Future StateChapter 8: The Heart of the Effort – Step 3, Build the ChangeChapter 9: Engaging the Whole Organization – Step 4, Lead the TransitionChapter 10: To the Future – Step 5, Keep the Change GoingChapter 11: On Becoming Change-CapableNotes AcknowledgmentsIndex

This book presents a new approach to risk management that enables executives to think systematically and strategically about future risks and deal proactively with threats to their competitive advantages in an ever more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world.This book presents a new approach to risk management that enables executives to think systematically and strategically about future risks and deal proactively with threats to their competitive advantages in an ever more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world.Organizations typically manage risks through traditional tools such as insurance and risk mitigation; some employ enterprise risk management, which looks at risk holistically throughout the organization. But these tools tend to focus organizational attention on past actions and compliance. Executives need to tackle risk head-on as an integral part of their strategic planning process, not by looking in the rearview mirror. Strategic Risk Management (SRM) is a forward-looking approach that helps teams anticipate events or exposures that fundamentally threaten or enhance a firm's position. The authors, experts in both business strategy and risk management, define strategic risks and show how they differ from operational risks. They offer a road map that describes architectural elements of SRM (knowledge, principles, structures, and tools) to show how leaders can integrate them to effectively design and implement a future-facing SRM program. SRM gives organizations a competitive advantage over those stuck in outdated risk management practices. For the first time, it enables them to look squarely out the front windshield.

World-record endurance athlete and professional leadership coach Jason Caldwell draws on his amazing experiences to show how anyone can build and lead teams that accomplish incredible things.World-record endurance athlete and professional leadership coach Jason Caldwell draws on his amazing experiences to show how anyone can build and lead teams that accomplish incredible things. Thirty-five days, 14 hours, and 3 minutes. That's how long it took Jason Caldwell and the crew of the American Spirit to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean during the 2016 Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge—or, as it's known to those who attempt it, “The World's Toughest Row.” They not only succeeded but set a world record. This was an extraordinary team effort. And that's what this book is about. Caldwell transfers the hard-won lessons of his transatlantic adventure out of the ocean and into your office, showing how to build and lead teams that do what others say cannot be done and sustain that level of performance. The thrilling details of Caldwell's quest to break the world's record deliver a “just-one-more-page” experience, during which you'll also learn lessons like • How to quit like a winner• Why results aren't the measure of a high-performance team• What four questions you should ask yourself before you set any goal• How to harness the power of emotion-first leadership• Why the best people aren't necessarily the right people for your teamThis book is a distillation of Caldwell's worldwide speaking programs delivered to packed crowds at Fortune 500 companies and universities worldwide. It is the answer to a question he is constantly asked: How were you and your teams able to accomplish such seemingly impossible goals? And it's also a guidebook that can teach anyone how to do the same.

Deux blocs régionaux connaissent une course accélérée pour se connecter : le golfe Persique et la méga-région Asie Centrale/Caucase. Plusieurs corridors ferroviaires, maritimes, énergétiques concurrents, mais en réalité complémentaires poursuivent leur déploiement. Deux outsiders, le projet IMEC (qui devrait relier l’Inde à l’Europe via la péninsule arabique), et le Development Road Corridor entre la Turquie et l’Irak enrichissent ce nouveau « Grand Jeu » d’une importance stratégique majeure. Ils sont assortis de réseaux énergétiques et de câbles terrestres et sous-marins. Acteurs régionaux comme grandes puissances s’activent âprement. Pour décrypter ce puzzle en mouvement, un groupe de spécialistes (experts, mais aussi dirigeants de premier plan) présente non seulement l’état des lieux, mais décrit les enjeux critiques en cause.

Le monde de l’entreprise change. L’individu occupe désormais une place centrale dans les débats : bienveillance, génération Z, risques psychosociaux, quête de sens, motivation… La société interroge ses modèles, et une figure concentre toutes les exigences et les attentes, les espoirs comme les contradictions : le manager. Mais de qui parlons-nous ? Qui se cache derrière le manager ? Quel est son rôle ?Trop souvent fantasmée, la fonction managériale est nimbée d’illusions sur la portée de sa fonction et tous s’y engouffrent : dirigeants, RH, salariés et surtout les managers eux-mêmes Gabriel Aussant lève le voile sur ce qui se cache derrière les croyances erronées du « bon manager » : communication, contrôle, périmètres, exemplarités, complexité. Au fil des constats implacables, il éclairera et accompagnera le lecteur à la découverte d’un monde réel, authentique où le manager, cet être humain normal, peut manager et réussir avec simplicité.

84 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 1h03min.
Targets are an important part of our work life, whether we are setting them or meeting them. There is a science to target setting. Unfortunately the behavioral impact of target setting on performance is underestimated. This can lead to serious consequences such as game playing, overcharging customers, or demotivating competent managers.This book will help you fill the gap in target setting for performance. The pivotal issue in target setting is that it is an art as well as a science. Perhaps more of an art, requiring a balance between the psychologies of the people taking initiatives, the science of estimating probabilities and aligning with strategies, coupled with the motivational effects of incentives.You will also be introduced to some of the important methods in target setting such as forecasting, sensitivity analysis, and probability analysis; all of which include practical examples to show how these techniques can be directly applied. In the end, you’ll learn how interrelated the various parts of organizational activities are and how they impact on each other, which is important since target setting must include an understanding of the organizational context (e.g., people, competitive environment, structure, strategy) as well as the impact of incentive compensation and information flows.

This outstanding contribution to this field will help explain these relationships, questions, and possible conflicts in the world of cross-cultural management.

Les technologies no-code ont récemment atteint un niveau de maturité qui en font une vraie alternative au développement Web traditionnel. Comme dans tout mouvement émergent, il est difficile de faire la part des choses entre l'offre qui est en train de naître et les messages que peuvent véhiculer les acteurs du secteur. Développer des sites ou applis en exploitant le no-code est également déontologique. Le but est de se réapproprier les moyens de production numérique (relocalisation, "déGAFAïsation", etc.). Afin de permettre au lecteur d'évoluer et de suivre la tendance, l'objectif de l'ouvrage est également de partager les conseils pratiques des auteurs et les meilleurs outils pour avoir une approche contenant un fort versant de "productivité". Tout ceci en illustrant l'ouvrage de cas concrets et de mises en oeuvre pratique. Cette nouvelle édition est enrichie et mise à jour de nouveaux exemples concrets de Nocode.

Conversations About Job Performance details the Communication-Centered Approach (CCA) to performance appraisal that is focused on its most challenging part—the appraisal interview.For many years, researchers and practitioners have devoted substantial time and effort to develop satisfactory performance appraisal systems that impart useful information to employees about their job performance. Nonetheless, problems continue to arise, principally because managers often find it difficult to provide feedback on performance to their employees. If this sounds familiar to you, you’ll need this book, which details the Communication-Centered Approach (CCA) to performance appraisal that is focused on its most challenging part—the appraisal interview.The CCA described by authors Gordon and Miller is important because, despite the continuing evolution of performance appraisal, a conversation about the employee’s performance is still a very important component of the latest systems. Also, focusing on communication offers a valuable perspective on all aspects of performance appraisal: the definition of performance and its various facets, how performance information is given and perceived, and the interactional context that affects the meaning of feedback.Thoughtful insight and communication literature that is the basis for each of these ideas is included, as well as illustrations on how the conceptual foundation may be translated into practice.

If you have good economic principles, then more than likely, you’re making good business decisions. Although economics is sometimes dismissed as a discourse of practical relevance to only a relatively small circle of academicians and policy analysts who call themselves economists, sound economic reasoning benefits any manager of a business, whether they are involved with production and operations, marketing, finance, or corporate strategy. This highly respected text will help you and any business manager with managerial economics, which is the application of microeconomics to business decisions.Inside, you’ll learn about the key relationships between price, quantity, cost, revenue, and profit, which are detailed for an individual firm in the form of simple conceptual models. The book includes key elements from the economics of consumer demand and the economics of production. It also discusses economic motivations for expanding a business and contributions from economics for improved organization of large firms, as well as market price-quantity equilibrium, competitive behavior, and the role of market structure on market equilibrium and competition. It concludes by considering market regulation in terms of the generic problems that create the need for regulation and possible remedies for those problems.

La multiplication des crises politiques, sociales, environnementales ou encore géopolitiques bouscule violemment notre monde. Pourtant, sans nier la gravité des problèmes, il faut constater que les grandes questions humaines ne changent pas ; les défis essentiels de notre existence sont les mêmes depuis toujours. Certes, les réponses évoluent, s’adaptent à l’époque et aux circonstances. Mais les vraies questions reviennent sans cesse. Pouvoir, violence, justice, quête de sens ou encore besoin de reconnaissance façonnent irréductiblement notre humanité. L’IA et les technologies, la guerre ou l’autoritarisme politique ne bouleversent pas ces enjeux : ils les déplacent, les reconfigurent, et nous obligent à inventer des réponses nouvelles. C’est le constat de départ de cet essai sous forme d’entretiens entre Laurent Bibard, philosophe, et Thibault Lieurade, journaliste. Les auteurs proposent de se pencher sur ces constantes en convoquant les grands auteurs et penseurs de toutes les époques. Leurs réflexions, qui portent sur 13 sujets, de l’Europe à la sexualité, en passant par la transcendance et l’éducation, visent à déceler les nouvelles questions à se poser pour les soulever au mieux par-delà le court-termisme ambiant. Sans perdre de vue qu’il n’y a pas de fatalité et que l’avenir sera avant tout ce que nous en ferons.
