Eine qualitative Studie

Ausgangspunkte bilden das Leitbild einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung sowie die aktuellen Herausforderungen des Personalmanagements. Aufbauend auf dem integrativen Gestaltungsansatz eines nachhaltigen Personalmanagements werden die verschiedenen Kompetenzbereiche (ökonomisch, ökologisch, sozial, innovativ) und die Teilfunktionsbereiche (Planung, Beschaffung, Einsatz, Entwicklung, Freisetzung, Personalführung, Controlling, Marketing) eines nachhaltigen Personalmanagements vorgestellt. Darüber hinaus kann das nachhaltige Personalmanagement auch wichtige Beiträge zum Wissens- und Innovationsmanagement im Unternehmen leisten. Eine nachhaltige Unternehmensentwicklung bedeutet erfordert meist Veränderungen, deshalb wird auch der Beitrag des Personalmanagements für das Change Management einer nachhaltigen Unternehmensgestaltung behandelt. Die Umsetzung eines nachhaltigen Personalmanagements in die Praxis zeigen vielfältige Praxisbeispiele.

Das Buch, das unsere Sichtweise auf Meditation verändert





"Ein unglaublich inspirierendes Buch, das maximale Gelassenheit ins Leben bringt."



Tim Ferriss

Wir alle haben einen inneren Kommentator. Er ist schuld daran, dass wir, einem inneren Zwang folgend, immer wieder unsere E-Mails checken, Essen in uns hineinstopfen, obwohl wir eigentlich gar keinen Hunger haben, und ständig über unsere Vergangenheit oder unsere Zukunft nachgrübeln, statt im Hier und Jetzt zu leben. Dan Harris hat eine sehr wirksame Methode entdeckt, um die kontraproduktiven inneren Dialoge in den Griff zu bekommen.

In den zehn Jahren seit seinem Erscheinen ist dieses Buch ein echter Klassiker zum Thema Meditation geworden: Dan Harris zeigt, wie man meditiert und was für Vorteile das bringen kann, und zwar mit so überzeugenden Argumenten, dass selbst der eingefleischteste Skeptiker die Waffen strecken muss.

Diese aktualisierte Jubiläumsausgabe enthält:

- ein neues Vorwort

- einen erweiterten Anhang

- mehrere geführte Meditationen

Stop running on auto-pilot and make the most of every day with intentional planning!Every moment matters when you have big goals for your family, career, and the community you're committed to.

The constant barrage of obligations and to-dos is exhausting-especially for women who are also managing the mental load in most areas of family life. We end up stuck in routines and habits that don't serve us, as our dreams seem to slip further and further away.

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. She also knows how to overcome them.&nbsp; From starting her business with a single $1,200 stimulus check in 2020, to becoming a self-made millionaire in her very first year, Ellie has mastered the art of life changing entrepreneurial success—and now, with Girl, Start that Business!, she’s ready to share those secrets.&nbsp; The strategies within these pages are battle tested: Ellie has turned thousands of her clients into profitable business owners. 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!

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? (Conclusion) Our minds today have been shaped by the technologies and institutions of our ancestors, in ways they could not have anticipated.

Reclaiming Our Power to Choose and Shape the Future

Superhuman

'A gem of a book, serious and clever yet funny and playful' Financial Times 'Professor of philosophy and a public intellectual for the internet age, Callard shows how Socrates can inform the way we live our lives - from romance to politics' Guardian Socrates has been hiding in plain sight. We call him the father of Western philosophy, but what exactly are his philosophical views? He is famous for his humility, but readers often find him arrogant and condescending. We parrot his claim that 'the unexamined life is not worth living,' yet take no steps to live examined ones. We know that he was tried, convicted, and executed for 'corrupting the youth,' but freely assign Socratic dialogues to today's youths, to introduce them to philosophy. We've lost sight of what made him so dangerous. In Open Socrates, acclaimed philosopher Agnes Callard recovers the radical energy at the centre of Socrates' thought and shows why it is still the way to a good life. Callard draws our attention to Socrates' startling discovery that we don't know how to ask ourselves the most important questions- about how we should live, and how we might change. Before a person even has a chance to reflect, their bodily desires or the forces of social conformity have already answered on their behalf. To ask the most important questions, we need help. Callard argues that the true ambition of the famous "Socratic method" is to reveal what one human being can be to another. You can use another person in many ways-for survival, for pleasure, for comfort- but you are engaging them to the fullest when you call on them to help answer your questions and challenge your answers. Here Callard shows that Socrates' method allows us to make progress in thinking about how to manage romantic love, how to confront one's own death, and how to approach politics. In the process, she gives us nothing less than a new ethics to live by.

The Case for a Philosophical Life

By the New York Times’s Global Economics Correspondent, an extraordinary journey to understand the worldwide supply chain—exposing both the fascinating pathways of manufacturing and transportation that bring products to your doorstep, and the ruthless business logic that has left local communities at the mercy of a complex and fragile network for their basic necessities."A tale that will change how you look at the world."&nbsp;—Mark LeibovichNamed a Best Book of the Year by Foreign Policy and The Aspen Institute * Longlisted for the Porchlight Business Book AwardHow does the wealthiest country on earth run out of protective gear in the middle of a public health catastrophe? How do its parents find themselves unable to locate crucially needed infant formula? How do its largest companies spend billions of dollars making cars that no one can drive for a lack of chips?The last few years have radically highlighted the intricacy and fragility of the global supply chain. Enormous ships were stuck at sea, warehouses overflowed, and delivery trucks stalled. The result was a scarcity of everything from breakfast cereal to medical devices, from frivolous goods to lifesaving necessities. And while the scale of the pandemic shock was unprecedented, it underscored the troubling reality that this system built on Just in Time principles was fundamentally at risk of descending into chaos all along. And it still is. Sabotaged by financial interests, a loss of transparency in markets, and worsening working conditions for the people tasked with keeping the gears turning, our global supply chain has become perpetually on the brink of collapse.In How the World Ran Out of Everything, award-winning journalist Peter S. Goodman reveals the fascinating innerworkings of our supply chain and the factors that have led to its constant, dangerous vulnerability. His reporting takes readers deep into the elaborate system, showcasing the triumphs and struggles of the human players who operate it—from factories in Asia and an almond grower in Northern California, to a group of striking railroad workers in Texas, to a truck driver who Goodman accompanies across hundreds of miles of the Great Plains. Through their stories, Goodman weaves a powerful argument for reforming a supply chain to become truly reliable and resilient, demanding a radical redrawing of the bargain between labor and shareholder interests, and deeper attention paid to how we get the things we need.From one of the most respected voices in economic journalism working today, How the World Ran Out of Everything is a fiercely smart, deeply informative look at how our supply chain operates, and why its reform is crucial—not only to avoid dysfunction in our day to day lives, but to protect the fate of our global fortunes.&nbsp;This riveting work of economic journalism breaks down the complexities of modern globalization and reveals: <ul><li>The Just in Time Fallacy: Discover how a sensible manufacturing philosophy was twisted to prioritize shareholder interests over resilience, setting the stage for global shortages and widespread inflation.</li><li>Human Cost of Efficiency: Journey from factories in Asia to the highways of the Great Plains and meet the human players—from truck drivers to railroad workers—exploited to keep the gears of commerce turning.</li><li>Monopoly Power and Price Hikes: Investigate how decades of deregulation allowed a few monopolistic companies to dominate key industries, engineering scarcity to boost profits during a worldwide catastrophe.</li><li>The Future of the Supply Chain: Explore the urgent arguments for reforming the system through reshoring and nearshoring to build a more reliable and resilient network for the things we need.</li></ul>
