Die ersten 100 Tage als Führungskraft

Mit System zu Souveränität, Respekt und einem loyalen Team - ohne dich zu verbiegen

Warum bleiben Entscheidungen aus, obwohl Zuständigkeiten klar geregelt sind, Gremien tagen und Verantwortung delegiert wird? Dieses Buch sucht die Antwort nicht bei den Personen, sondern in der Architektur der Organisation selbst. Es zeigt, unter welchen strukturellen Bedingungen Entscheidungen entstehen, Verbindlichkeit gewinnen – oder trotz intensiver Abstimmung, umfassender Dokumentation und formaler Beschlussfassung folgenlos bleiben. Aus jahrelanger Beobachtung unterschiedlichster Organisationen entwickelt der Autor die These: Entscheidungsfähigkeit hängt nicht von Haltung oder Kompetenz der handelnden Personen ab, sondern von der Entscheidungsarchitektur der Organisationen. Ist diese dysfunktional, entsteht ein stabiler, sich selbst reproduzierender Zustand: organisationale Unwirksamkeit. Das Buch beschreibt sieben Mechanismen, mit denen Organisationen den Moment der verbindlichen Entscheidung strukturell umgehen. Ein diagnostisches Referenzwerk für Vorstände, Führungskräfte, Aufsichtsräte und Organisationsberatende, das Entscheidungsarchitekturen in Unternehmen, öffentlichen Organisationen und Nonprofit-Institutionen präzise sichtbar macht – als Grundlage für wirksame Organisationsentwicklung.&nbsp; 
Die sieben Mechanismen der Unwirksamkeit
<ul>
<li>Die Verantwortungsdiffusion</li>
<li>Die Zeitkompensation</li>
<li>Die Mandatsunschärfe</li>
<li>Die Entscheidungsentkopplung</li>
<li>Der Dokumentationsersatz</li>
<li>Die Eskalationshemmung</li>
<li>Delegation ohne Urteilsfähigkeit</li>
</ul>

The Art and Discipline of Delivery

Project Management, Planning and Control

Palgrave Studies in Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Indigenization in Business

This volume provides a comprehensive exploration of the barriers and facilitators women encounter on their leadership paths, enriching the literature on gender and leadership dynamics. More specifically, it uncovers several previously underexplored areas of women’s&nbsp;identity development as leaders, such as intersectionality, examining how factors such as race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic background intersect with gender to shape unique leadership experiences.The chapters also explore socio-cultural variations in becoming a leader, analyze the impact of organizational norms and expectations on leadership influencing women’s leadership identity, and study how leadership identities evolve through different career stages. By examining these aspects, this work offers new insights into the complex and multifaceted nature of women's leadership identity development across diverse contexts.By highlighting women’s leadership and their identity development, this book uniquely positions itself to help scholars and scholar-practitioners in HRD, leadership, and gender studies gain an in-depth understanding of the current and future challenges women face in becoming leaders and the support mechanisms and processes shaping their leadership identity development.Yoshie Tomozumi Nakamura

Man liest es, und es bleibt hängen: 6 Prinzipien, die entscheiden, woran wir uns erinnern - und was das für Werbung und Pressearbeit bedeutet
 
 Ein Gerücht braucht keine Werbeagentur. Ein Märchen keinen Marketingplan. Und eine Verschwörungstheorie keinen Algorithmus. Trotzdem verbreiten sie sich schneller als jede Kampagne, während Millionen Euro schwere Werbespots am nächsten Tag schon wieder vergessen sind.
 
 Warum ist das so? Chip und Dan Heath haben jahrelang untersucht, warum manche Ideen kleben bleiben - und die meisten nicht. Ihr Ergebnis: 6 Prinzipien, die entscheiden, ob eine Botschaft im Kopf bleibt oder sofort wieder verschwindet:
 
<ul>
 <li>Einfachheit: den Kern finden, nicht alles sagen</li>
 <li>Überraschung: Mit Erwartungen brechen, um Aufmerksamkeit zu erlangen</li>
 <li>Konkretheit: Bilder statt Abstraktionen</li>
 <li>Glaubwürdigkeit: Beweise, die man fühlt, statt nur liest</li>
 <li>Emotionen: den Verstand und das Herz ansprechen</li>
 <li>Geschichten: Handlung statt Behauptung</li>
</ul>Anhand realer Reden, Anzeigen und Texte zeigen beide Autoren gnadenlos, woran gute Kommunikation meist scheitert, und machen daraus konkrete, sofort anwendbare Verbesserungen.
 
 Die Autoren wissen, wovon sie sprechen: Chip Heath lehrt an der Stanford Graduate School of Business, sein Bruder Dan war an der Harvard Business School tätig. Ihre Kunden? Nike, Microsoft, die US Navy - Organisationen, die es sich nicht leisten können, überhört zu werden.

The Foolproof Plan to Turn Your Idea into Income and Change Your Life

Girl, Start That Business!

A provocative exposé of how our attention, behavior, and desires have been co-opted by the “choice box”—a curated set of options that offer a false sense of agency while funneling us down pre-determined paths controlled by a select few Choice boxes are all around us, but chances are you’ve never noticed them. Every time you click on a recommended video, rate an Uber driver, run a Google search, or invest in your 401k, you may think you’re the one calling the shots—but in reality, you’re limited to making the choices that a corporation wants you to make. Today, structured decision-making governs our lives to such an extent that we hardly see it at all. But who designs these choices, and whose interests do they serve? In Choose Your Captivity, historian Eli Cook introduces readers to the choice architects who first built these boxes and trapped us inside—from the maze-building eugenicist who invented the multiple-choice test to the marketing gurus who sold off our supermarket shelves to a few ultra-processed food giants. In less than a generation, architects like these have transformed a handful of online platforms into the richest businesses in the world. And by determining our options, controlling our actions, and even shaping our identities, they have laid the groundwork&nbsp;for the winner-takes-all game of digital capitalism that dominates us today. In a society built around the promise of free choice and personal responsibility, Cook argues, these hidden architects might just have the greatest power of all. A propulsive and vivid history, Choose Your Captivity opens readers’ eyes to the immense power of the choice box—and how to escape it.

Soccer has become "big business." The aggregated market value of the first and second division teams from the "Big 5" European Leagues (England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain) is nearly EUR12 billion. Using systematic and anecdotal evidence from the "Big 5" and additional evidence from other European and some of the South American Leagues (Brazil and Argentina), this book explores the development of soccer as the world's most important team sport and addresses competitive balance across the a large number of leagues. The book also provides the reader with a thorough understanding of the market for players, coaches and referees as well as the demand for soccer, both on TV, at the gate, and in the betting office. Finally, the economic implications of pertinent recent problems, such as hooliganism and racism, are addressed.

Most of the discussion about player salaries, head coach dismissals, stadium subsidies, ticket prices and TV contracts is not very well informed and is based on prejudices. Assembling and interpreting the relevant and available information from an economic viewpoint provides the reader with a fresh new perspective on those subjects. Econometric evidence is presented in the form of graphs and figures instead of regression coefficients and is supplemented by anecdotal evidence. "Economic jargon" will be limited to a minimum in order to give readers a more intuitive understanding of the material.

Conquering the Pitch

Two of the world's leading researchers on behavior and decision-making join forces to equip readers with the knowledge, tools, and techniques to live our best, most human lives in an age of machines. “The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology. And it is terrifically dangerous.” —E.O WilsonOur choices and experience of the world are increasingly shaped by powerful interests and godlike technology. Somebody else is deciding what ‘good’ choices look like—and often that means good for them, not for you. From the social media apps hijacking your attention and algorithms quietly curating your reality, to the markets profiting from confusion and AI systems slowly eroding your thinking: your choices are shaped by people who understand your psychology better than you do, and use that knowledge for their own ends. Against this backdrop, it is easy to feel diminished and 'done to'.This book is about fighting back—individually and collectively—and becoming the best of ourselves. Becoming super-humans. Drawing on over 1,000 experiments run across more than 70 countries, Halpern and Costa show how you can boost your own agency and decision-making, how we can upgrade our systems and institutions so that it is easier for everyone to choose well, and how we can shape AI so that it amplifies human capability rather than replacing it.Super-Human ultimately asks us to make the biggest choice of all: in an age when machines can think, decide and even feel on our behalf—what kind of humans do we want to be? <ul><li>Human. Reclaiming agency and becoming a better decision-maker (Chapters 1-3). Understanding how human attention and sense-making works, so that we can self-guide, rather than be hacked by others - and more effectively turn our intentions into action.</li><li>Supra-human. Building systems that support us to choose well together. (Chapters 4-7). Humans are social creatures, who think aloud and together. It's a feature not a fault. Social networks, markets and institutions strongly enable us to achieve things we could never do alone, but also operate as ‘supra-human’ influences on our behavior. Yet individually and collectively we have power to channel and shape them too - more power than we realize</li><li>Super-human. Shaping the technology that will shape us. (Chapter 8) AI could be the ultimate ‘bicycle of the mind’, but it can also become a crutch rather than a coach. It poses opportunity and challenge - to boost our capabilities to superhuman levels, or to become our inadvertent master.</li><li>Future-human. What kind of humans do we ultimately want to be?

Managing and Leading for Social Justice

Humanity's most spectacular era yet is increasingly within reach.So why are we doing everything we can to hold it back?The bestselling author of The Rational Optimist delivers a daring vision of the future - one that is potentially dazzling, but only if we stop sleepwalking into self-inflicted decline.We're on the brink of a truly spectacular explosion of productivity and prosperity, argues Matt Ridley, thanks to a combination of artificial intelligence, material science and genomic knowledge that is unprecedented in its scope and implications. With characteristic wit and ferocity, he confronts the irrational pessimism that dominates public discourse and examines the bureaucratic bloat, regulatory overreach, ideological superstition and crony capitalism that stand in the way.Optimistic in conclusion but unsparing in its analysis, The Flourishing is a rousing call to achieve and innovate by refusing to settle for a merely adequate future when a magnificent one is within reach.
