The Imagination Muscle

Build organizations where employees feel truly safe to learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo. The proven practical guide to psychological safety is now expanded with updated research and powerful new frameworks and tools. Psychological safety—the belief that you can speak up without risk of punishment or humiliation—is crucial for high-performing teams and innovative organizations. This revised and expanded edition of Timothy Clark's groundbreaking framework provides leaders with a research-backed roadmap through four distinct stages that enable individuals to feel safe, valued, and empowered. The four stages build progressively: <ul><li>Inclusion Safety (feeling included and accepted),</li><li>Learner Safety (feeling safe to learn and ask questions),</li><li>Contributor Safety (feeling safe to contribute and participate), and</li><li>Challenger Safety (feeling safe to challenge the status quo and speak truth to power).</li></ul> This new edition adds compelling quantitative evidence from Clark's global database of 1.2 million data points, validating the four-stage model across cultures and demographics. New chapters explore what psychological safety is not, the dangers of “nice” cultures, the relationship between psychological and physical safety, and practical measurement strategies. Leaders will learn to banish fear, create performance-based accountability, and build environments where people thrive beyond expectations.

How to Build a High-Performance Culture

The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety, Second Edition

Contributions to Finance and Accounting

Chapter 1. Expertise in fund management (Fredrik Nilsson).- Chapter 2. Performance and fund managers’ expertise (Martin Abrahamson).- Chapter 3. Searching for expert fund managers (Martin Abrahamson).- Chapter 4. Judgments and decisions by expert fund managers (Martin Abrahamson).- Chapter 5. Individual foresight and fund management expertise (Melissa Innes).- Chapter 6. Artificial intelligence in discretionary fund management (Haojun Hu).- Chapter 7. Integrating ESG information in active fund management (Katarzyna Cieslak).- Chapter 8. Analysing fund managers’ accountability (Frank Hartmann).- Chapter 9. Does expertise matter? Concluding reflections (Fredrik Nilsson).

This book offers novel insights into how expert fund managers—those who demonstrate superior performance over the long term—make their judgments and decisions. It is often claimed that actively managed funds create value for investors by making more informed decisions. The general idea is that experts make judgments and decisions that will outperform passively managed funds, i.e., the market. Although such claims seem reasonable, many actively managed funds do not consistently beat the market. Additionally, it is argued that the fees charged by actively managed funds are too high relative to the value they provide. However, some assert that certain fund managers do outperform the market in the long term. Regardless of the position one takes, there is a clear need to critically examine and discuss the concept of fund management expertise.The book also explores how recent and significant societal developments, such as sustainability, artificial intelligence, and multiple accountabilities, are shaping the nature of expertise today and how it might evolve in the future. The book draws on both earlier research on expertise and recent publications related to business and accounting, as well as insights from new empirical studies. It appeals to both scholars and professionals in finance wanting to learn about capital markets and fund management.

You've heard of IQ and EQ. But in today's world, they're no longer enough. We need the Agility Quotient (AQ). In a time defined by nonstop disruptions, when jobs vanish overnight, industries evolve in months, and yesterday's rules no longer apply, AQ-the Agility Quotient-is the intelligence you need to handle change, uncertainty, and the unknown. The good news is that, with the right toolkit, you can grow your agility and learn to navigate a world of increasing instability. Drawing on leadership coach and former venture capitalist Liz Tran's work with over 200 successful founders, executives, and dozens of companies and organizations, AQ reveals a model for how high-performing teams and managers adapt to uncertainty. Tran will show you how to cultivate 'durable skills,' essential human abilities that remain valuable no matter what the future holds. With the book's Agility Archetype assessment, the book personalises the AQ journey to every kind of individual. No matter their experience level or ambitions. Written with conversational flair and practical advice, AQ offers readers a wealth of resources, including:<ul><li>Tools to rebuild confidence for when you're bombarded by life's curveballs or feeling burned out Actionable steps for making a big shift, even when you feel stuck.</li></ul><ul><li>Advice on finding clarity in moments of professional turbulence.</li></ul> AQ also takes readers behind the scenes at companies, from NVIDIA and Microsoft to rising start-ups like Lex, to see AQ in action. You'll also meet trailblazers like Maggie Lena Walker, the first female bank president in American history, and Emile-Maurice Hermès, who transformed Hermès into a global luxury powerhouse. As the adage goes, 'the only certain thing is change.' AQ is the critical intelligence for our unpredictable future.

A New Kind of Intelligence for a World that's Always Changing

From the author of the groundbreaking exposé Gomorrah comes a book that encourages and challenges the people to stand up for themselves and to not be fooled by the coercive nature of political power. Featuring short biographical sketches of a surprising mix of admired and deplored figures and works from history, this is a book that demands of readers to open one’s eyes and be outraged. The iconic Italian author Roberto Saviano’s latest work of nonfiction is an urgent cry for people to stand up for themselves and the things they believe in, featuring those who have most inspired him—Russian poet Anna Akhmatova, Martin Luther King Jr., the Calipygian Venus, immortalized in marble—alongside those whose actions were most deplorable—Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels and Rwandan radio host Kantano Habimana, who encouraged the 1993-’94 genocide there. Saviano quotes the Italian author and Auschwitz survivor Primo Levi: “I write what I wouldn’t be able to tell anyone.” Saviano, like Levi, embraces his readers within a similar protective halo of intimacy, taking us in his arms to warn us. Other lives and works that Saviano evokes in Shout It Out! are Hypatia, the murdered Alexandrian philosopher, mathematician and astronomer; political theorist Carl Schmitt; trailblazing Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya; Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi; NSA Whistleblower Edward Snowden; 16th century astrology and alchemist Giordano Bruno, burned at the stake by the Inquisition in 1600; Russian poet Anna Akhmatova who chose silence rather than collaboration; Émile Zola; the Brothers Grimm; Martin Luther King; murdered anti-corruption activist Daphne Caruana Galizia; the ancient roman statue of the Callipygian Venus; Terry Bollea (Hulk Hogan); American actress Jean Seberg; Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini; Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels; Rwandan radio host Kantano Habimana; Settimia Spizzichino, one of 50 from the Rome ghetto sent to Auschwitz, and the only survivor; Chinese poet and factory worker Lizhi Xu; Italian-American saint Sister Francesca Saverio Cabrini; Italian architect and London fire victim Gloria Trevisan; George Floyd. Shout It Out dives into world history—and Roberto Saviano’s mind—in a way that constantly surprises.

Was ermöglicht es dem Subjekt, nicht vollständig in den normativen Anrufungen der Gesellschaft aufzugehen? Eva Laquièze-Waniek setzt sich mit der Resthaftigkeit des Subjekts auseinander und rückt sie erstmals in den Mittelpunkt einer psychoanalytischen Analyse. Sie zeigt, dass der Rest als unabdingbare Voraussetzung der Subjektkonstitution und als Quelle des symbolischen 'Ankommens' zu betrachten ist. Diese von Lacan und Freud ausgehende neue Sicht auf das Subjekt fokussiert dabei die Rolle der Sprache im Verhältnis zum Sexuellen und Realen sowie die Ursache von Begehren, Identifizierung und Sublimierung.

Life is a use-it-or-lose-it proposition. Shouldn’t you spend it doing something you love? This book will teach you how to find your dream job and avoid a career you’ll regret—from a leading venture capitalist, based on his viral college talk. “Fantastic. A variety of useful insights and examples that converge into one story that underlies remarkable success in nearly any field: The relentless hunger to learn about the thing you love.”—James Clear, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Atomic Habits For many young people, the path to success feels like a conveyor belt—onto the next test, the next application, the next college—without ever stopping to ask what do I actually want to do with my life? Parents know the pressure can be overwhelming, yet the system pushes everyone forward anyway. After college Bill Gurley landed a job at a famous tech company. It should have been a dream come true—but he was surprisingly bored. So, Gurley leapt into the unknown, eventually finding his place in the world of venture capital, the beginning of a remarkable investing career. It turns out, Gurley’s happy ending is rare.

C. G. Jungs geheimnisvolles »Rotes Buch« wurde erstmals im Oktober 2009, fünfzig Jahre nach dem Tod Jungs, veröffentlicht. Bis dahin war es in einem Schweizer Banksafe unter Verschluss gehalten worden. Das Rote Buch dokumentiert Jungs Auseinandersetzung mit dem Unbewussten und enthält als eine Art Tagebuch seine Träume, Visionen und Fantasien - Material, das Jung später als "Urstoff für ein Lebenswerk" bezeichnet hat. Dieser Band bietet erstmals nur den Text, ohne die Bilder - für alle, die sich mit Jungs Erkundungen des Unbewussten intensiv beschäftigen wollen. "Ich habe an diesem Buch 16 Jahre lang gearbeitet. Dem oberflächlichen Betrachter wird es wie eine Verrücktheit vorkommen. Es wäre auch zu einer solchen geworden, wenn ich die überwältigende Kraft der ursprünglichen Erlebnisse nicht hätte auffangen können. Ich wusste immer, dass jene Erlebnisse Kostbares enthielten, und darum wusste ich nichts Besseres, als sie in ein &gt;kostbares&lt;, d.h. teures Buch aufzuschreiben..." C. G.

Das Rote Buch - Der Text

An adoptive parent and historian delves into the differences of families made by law, not biology-- and shows us the deep value of those differences Adoption touches on some of our most vexing social questions, about race and sexuality, abortion rights, economic inequality, even foreign policy and global poverty. More than that, it prods us in tender places, reminding us of our own questions about belonging and separation, identity and alienation, our worries about what is determined by fate and what is freely choose. Blending personal memoir, history, and broader reflection on American culture, Ordinary Days and Tender Places offers a fresh take on adoption. As an historian and an adoptive parent, Bendroth takes seriously the criticisms and the personal pain many adoptees face, but she also invites readers to take a bigger view. This book asks us to turn the mirror on ourselves and consider the peculiarities of what we consider “normal” family life. In the end, our questions and controversies obscure a basic fact: raising children born to someone else is a time-honored human practice. In the past and in many cultures today, our modern American ideal, the two-parent biologically-related nuclear family, is an oddity. Within the long history of humanity our ideas about kinship and our beliefs about what constitutes a “normal” household are surprisingly narrow and, in the end, not all that helpful. Bendroth introduces readers to new ways of thinking about adoption, exploring the history of American families and children as well as fascinating findings by biologists and evolutionary anthropologists about kinship practices, genetics and inheritance, even motherhood itself. This is, in other words, a book about adoption and much more. It is an invitation to readers to reflect on their own lives, to think deeply about our human need to connect, to love, and belong.
