Organizations in Context

Gute Führung ist kein Zufallsprodukt. Sie ist Handwerk. Und Handwerk kann man lernen. 
 Dieses Buch handelt von Führung. Aber eigentlich handelt es von uns allen: im Büro, zuhause, im Supermarkt, im Straßenverkehr. Kein Arschloch zu sein ist eine Lebenseinstellung. Und gleich mal zur Einordnung: Niemand ist ein Arschloch. Man kann sich aber wie eines verhalten. Das ist gleich zu Beginn ein wichtiger Unterschied: Wäre man ein Arschloch, dann wäre das nicht veränderbar. Verhält man sich wie eines, dann kann man sich auch anders verhalten. Und genau darum soll es hier gehen.

 
 Erzählt wird eine Geschichte. Im Mittelpunkt steht Bernd, eine engagierte Führungskraft, bei der es trotzdem knirscht. Mit einem Coach an seiner Seite lernt er Schritt für Schritt, was gute Führung ausmacht. Mit Rückschlägen, Aha-Momenten und einem Happy End. Unterwegs sammelt er viele Werkzeuge, die sich am nächsten Arbeitstag anwenden lassen. Für alle, die führen. Und für alle, die es bald tun werden.

 'Kein klassisches Fachbuch, sondern ein Roman, der eigentlich ein Fachbuch ist. Ich war wirklich in der Story drin und neugierig, wie es weitergeht.' 
 Dr. Markus Ebner, Begründer des PERMA-Lead-Modells

 
 Fundament des Buches ist Positive Leadership, genauer gesagt der PERMA-Lead-Ansatz, ein wissenschaftlich fundiertes Führungsmodell auf Basis der Positiven Psychologie. Die fünf Hebel dahinter

 <ul><li>positive Emotionen ermöglichen (Positive Emotions),</li><li>individuelles Engagement fördern (Engagement),</li><li>tragfähige Beziehungen schaffen (Relationships),</li><li>Sinn in der Arbeit vermitteln (Meaning) und</li><li>Erfolge sichtbar machen (Accomplishment)</li></ul>
 lernt man beim Lesen kennen. So wie Bernd: einen nach dem anderen.

 Über den Autor 
 Dr. Bernd Bürger ist Polizeidirektor, Forscher und einer der wenigen Menschen, die wissen, wie es sich anfühlt, beim G20-Gipfel in Hamburg mit über 150 Spezialkräften im Steinhagel für Menschen und Entscheidungen verantwortlich zu sein - und später eine Studie über Wohlbefinden am Arbeitsplatz zu schreiben.

 
 Als zertifizierter Advanced PERMA-Lead® Consultant trainiert Bernd Führungskräfte in Deutschland, der Schweiz, den Niederlanden, in Großbritannien und in den USA. An der Polizeiakademie der Niederlande leitet er ein Modul im Masterstudiengang für angehende Führungskräfte. Seit 2020 ist er Fachbereichsleiter Führung und Einsatz beim Fortbildungsinstitut der Bayerischen Polizei.

Führen mit Haltung, Herz und Humor. Positive Leadership in der Praxis

Sei einfach kein Arschloch

Führung darf leicht sein: Warum deine Menschlichkeit der größte Hebel für deinen unternehmerischen Erfolg istKennst du das Gefühl, der alleinige Motor im Unternehmen zu sein, während das Tagesgeschäft dich auffrisst?&nbsp;Bist du frustriert, weil dein Team nur Dienst nach Vorschrift macht oder die besten Leute kündigen?&nbsp;Wirkst du nach außen erfolgreich und stark, fühlst dich innerlich aber zunehmend getrieben und erschöpft?Dann ist es an der Zeit, die Rolle des klassischen Chefs abzulegen.Denn erfolgreiche Führung entsteht nicht durch mehr Kontrolle oder bessere Prozesse. Sie wächst aus Klarheit, einer echten Haltung und dem Mut, Mensch zu bleiben.Wenn du ein unschlagbares Team formen willst, das eigenverantwortlich handelt und mitdenkt, damit du deine Rolle als Führungskraft wieder mit Sinn und Freude erlebst …&nbsp;… dann ist dieses Buch dein Wendepunkt.

 Vertrauen

 mentalen Unruhe
 ist und wie du durch

 Wie du aus ständigem Reagieren ins 
 aktive Gestalten
 kommst, indem du die 
 Potenziale in deinen Mitarbeitern entfesselst
 , anstatt nur Probleme zu managen
 </li><li>
 Wie du die 
 Prinzipien von Balance und Fluss aus der Capoeira
 nutzt, um mit mehr Energie und Präsenz zu führen
 </li></ul>Warum dieses Buch deine Sichtweise aufs Leben verändert:Klar im Kopf, souverän im Handeln:
 &nbsp;
 Du gewinnst die Kontrolle über deine Reaktionen zurück und überwindest das Gefühl, fremdgesteuert durch den Alltag zu treiben. Das Ergebnis: Du triffst selbst in stürmischen Zeiten glasklare Entscheidungen, strahlst eine unerschütterliche Ruhe aus und gibst deinem gesamten Unternehmen Sicherheit und Orientierung.Von Kontrolle zu Vertrauen
 :&nbsp;

Und für dich selbst.Der Moment für diese Veränderung ist jetzt.

The pocket MBA for entrepreneurial moms and women of color&nbsp;who want to build a business from scratch, overcome financial obstacles, and shift the trajectory of their life, from a globally recognized entrepreneur, business coach, and digital educator. While starting a new business is hard for everyone—half close their doors within the first five years—it’s even harder for female entrepreneurs. Ellie Diop, founder and CEO of Ellievated Academy, Fully Funded Co., and Mommy to Millionaire, intimately knows the barriers that historically have kept women from economic freedom.

And she’s done so by meeting them where they are. Ellie knows many women are starting from zero—no money, no business plan, no customers. What they do have is a great idea, hustle, heart, and street savvy. This non-judgmental, sassy, and whip-smart pocket MBA is what female entrepreneurs need to turn their dreams into life-changing reality.&nbsp; Let’s go, girl, start that business today!

Thoughtful advice on how to leave academia gracefully and build your best life in retirement Retirement is one of the most challenging transitions in an academic's career, and it's natural to feel overwhelmed by the changes that lie ahead. This how-to guide explains how to structure your last few years of employment so that you retire well and feel good about it. Drawing on engaging personal stories from across academia, it shares concrete tips for letting go of one key phase of life and embracing the opportunity to reinvent yourself in the next. On Retiring makes the case that you have the ultimate say in charting your path through retirement, aging, and whatever comes next after academia--and provides the guidance you need to do so. Susan Shaw describes the lessons she learned from her own retirement experience and those of her colleagues, highlighting what worked and what didn't while paying special attention to the things that make the academic workplace unique. She outlines the four-year retirement plan she developed for herself and suggest some steps colleges and universities can take to honor the service of faculty members and help them to stay connected after retirement. Along the way, Shaw examines some of the downsides of aging in the academy and discusses relevant differences in academic experiences, covering topics such as gender, race, and sexuality. Focusing on so much more than just financial planning, On Retiring empowers you with social, psychological, and philosophical tools to leave the academy on your own terms and thrive in retirement.

Daily Habits for Leading from Any Level

90 Days to Grow Your Influence

For senior leaders whose strong record no longer settles the question being asked about them. Former global C-suite executive and executive coach Azhar Syed explains why strong performance stops being enough for senior advancement—and what changes when it does. Senior leaders are often surprised when the qualities that built their careers no longer move them forward. They deliver strong results, develop deep expertise, make important contributions, and earn support from influential people, yet they still are not chosen for broader responsibility. Syed identifies 6 familiar metrics leaders use to make the case for advancement: <ul><li>Results: “Look What I Have Delivered”</li><li>Expertise: “Look What I Know”</li><li>Personal Contribution: “Look What I Do”</li><li>Judgment: “Look How Right I Am”</li><li>Sponsorship: “Look Who Backs Me”</li><li>Reputation: “Look How I Have Changed”</li></ul> Each metric reflects a real way of creating value. But none, by itself, fully answers the question senior decision-makers are trying to resolve: Can this leader be trusted with greater risk, broader consequences, and decisions that affect the whole organization? Syed explains why becoming indispensable can keep a leader tied to a current role, why being right does not establish judgment at a wider radius unless others can test and carry the decision, why a powerful sponsor cannot make an appointment defensible on the leader’s behalf, and why genuine change may go unnoticed by the people whose expectations matter. Readers will learn what broader responsibility asks of them, what their record currently establishes, what decision-makers may reasonably infer, and how to distinguish between a gap they can address and a barrier embedded in the organization. Clear and candid, this book helps senior leaders understand why their established evidence may no longer settle the next decision—and what their record needs to establish before others can confidently trust them with more.

Know yourself. Find your edge. Lead your way

The Guts to Grow

Modern leaders face intense pressure to move fast and look decisive, often resorting to rapid restructuring and sudden pivots to signal strength. But this obsession with speed is a trap. It forces executives to rely on past assumptions rather than actual observation, turning experience into hasty judgment. When you act on incomplete fragments - like anecdotal evidence or surface-level dashboards -&nbsp; you inadvertently trigger a cycle of temporary fixes, organizational fatigue and strategic drift. This concise book introduces a critical discipline for the modern era: pausing to see an organization clearly before attempting to change it. Moving beyond abstract theory, Clarity Before Change provides executives with practical tools-like the "Organization Twin"-to map capabilities without bias and replace organizational blame with productive curiosity. Far from preaching hesitation, this research-backed guide delivers a blueprint for precise, intelligent transformation, showing that the ultimate competitive advantage is strategic composure under complexity.

Why leaders must see clearly before they act
