The Hamster and the Machine

Service is the Antidote

In a world where strategy can be copied and technology is increasingly accessible; culture has become one of the few remaining sources of competitive advantage. This means that senior HR and business professionals can no longer afford to leave culture to chance so need a credible, practical way to design it on purpose and refine it at speed.

Written specifically for these senior practitioners, this book shows how to do a cultural diagnosis so that HR and OD professionals can assess existing systems and processes as well as company values and employee behaviours. They are then equipped to identify cultural priorities and assess where efforts are best focused. This includes examining the organization's operating model, work design and recognition systems. With expert discussion of the importance of employee communication, employee engagement and belonging as well as the difference that purpose and trust at work make to company performance, this is essential reading for all those needing to design a company culture that will support performance improvement for individual employees and the business as a whole. Most importantly, this book shows how to constantly refine company culture at speed so that it can be a key driver of sustainable performance improvement. Packed with tools, templates and frameworks, this guide is an essential playbook for all senior HR and OD practitioners as well as business leaders responsible for company culture.

A Practical Guide for High-Performing Organizations

Culture by Design

A practical method, backed by peer-reviewed research, for reimagining work to create your most distinctive, creative, energetic, and relatable professional self.In far too many organizations, the idea of bringing your 'full self' to the job is a liability.Emotion beyond enthusiasm for the task at hand is deemed unprofessional. Personal identity must be compressed into a carefully curated bio: relatable yet inoffensive.When people are conditioned to flatten the full social and emotional complexities of themselves, spirits dull and progress stalls, in life and in the workplace.But for a growing number of people, especially younger generations, this form of workplace culture no longer works. Surveys show that fewer individuals are willing to sacrifice their time and quality of life for a career, let alone an organization. With an increased focus on purpose, meaning, and mental health, many refuse to scrub their emotions, or the full range of their identities, to keep their professional lives separate.At the same time, in more progressive settings, the encouragement to bring people's full selves to work has sometimes unleashed more authenticity and personal revelation than managers and teams know how to handle.So how do we get it right?Lively and accessible, Human Mode features vibrant stories, expert insights, evidence-based techniques, and 'ah-ha' takeaways you can use immediately.Discover how to engage your inherent superpower - being immensely human - to unlock progress, connection, and achievement in your working life.

Road to Flourishing

Most veterinary professionals carry at least one case they will never forget. Not the textbook case - the one that returns in the small hours, long after the client has gone home.For decades, human healthcare has been having a serious conversation about systems thinking, human factors, psychological safety and just culture. Veterinary medicine has barely begun. The result is a profession that still meets error with blame, leaving good professionals to carry shame, guilt and loneliness alone.The Cases We Carry is not a quality-improvement manual. It is a book about the culture around error in veterinary medicine - how we speak about it, respond to it, learn from it, and live with it.This isn't a manual. It's a reckoning.For everyone who entered this work believing they had to be perfect - and for everyone still carrying a case.

How Cynics Derail Progress (and How to Get Back on Track)

This Place Will Never Change

Every organisation runs on something that leaders sense but are never taught to shape: the collective energy of its people. This hidden factor separates teams which thrive from those that falter.In Energy at Work, Phil Lewis draws on thirty years spent helping some of the world's best organisations transform how their people perform. The productivity and innovation that leaders chase, he argues, rest on what most business books overlook: the quality of relationships between people. Where those relationships are healthy, energy flows and performance follows. Where they are damaged, no amount of vision, strategy or optimisation will repair what is, underneath, a human problem. The book maps the energetic states teams move through and names what really drains them. It takes on the misconceptions that hold organisations back - from the grindset to the myth of work/life balance - to reveal the demanding but powerful human work that leads to sustained high performance.Leaders at all levels and across every sector, HR and learning and development professionals, and students of organisational life will find in this book a rigorous but practical approach to leadership and culture change. Energy at Work challenges the easy answers of the business bookshelf - and offers a new account of what a workforce is, and what makes it come alive.

What’s Really Draining Your People – And The Power You Have To Change It

This book introduces Lean philosophy and illustrates the effective application of Lean tools with real-world case studies. From fundamental concepts to integrated planning and control in pull production and the supply chain, the text provides a complete introduction to Lean production. Coverage includes small batch production, setup reduction, pull production, preventive maintenance, standard work, as well as synchronizing and scheduling Lean operations. Detailing the key principles and practices of Lean production, the text also illustrates effective implementation techniques with case studies from a range of industries. Includes questions and completed problems in each chapter. Explains how to effectively partner with suppliers and employees to achieve productivity goals.Designed for students who have a basic foundation in production and operations management, the text provides a thorough understanding of the principles of Lean. It also offers practical know-how for implementing a culture of continuous improvement on the shop floor and in the office, creating a heightened sense of responsibility in all stakeholders, and enhancing productivity and efficiency to improve the bottom line. In this third edition, the author addresses management's role in Lean production. Early observers of Japanese methods focused on the shop floor to see amazing things unlike anything practiced elsewhere. The thinking was that if the "methods" could be adopted by companies elsewhere, those companies would experience the success of the Japanese. What the early observers hadn't considered were dramatic differences in the way those companies were managed, both daily and strategically.The "management side" of Lean production is addressed in two new chapters, one devoted to daily management and the other to strategy deployment. Additionally, there is a new chapter that addresses breakthrough improvement and an approach to achieving it called the Production Preparation Process. Every chapter has been revised and expanded to better tell the story of Lean production-its history, applications, practices, and methods.
