Leading with Care in a Tough World - Beyond Servant Leadership

Bob DeKoch, Phillip G. Clampitt

Sinopse

“A simple yet powerful promise: caring leaders can produce extraordinary outcomes.” —Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Power of Regret Breaking new ground in the exploration of servant leadership, Bob DeKoch and Phil Clampitt draw on their years of experience and research to describe, with vivid, real-world examples, how leading with care enriches people and transforms organizations in our challenging times. Gallup recently reported that only 15% of employees in the United States are truly engaged in their workplace. Yet nearly 70% say they would work harder if they felt more appreciated. Over 90% of those surveyed believed their leaders “lacked communication skills to lead.” The gloomy stories behind sobering statistics reveal employees’ disappointment with current leadership approaches. Leaders can do better. That’s why the authors sought to go beyond the laudable sentiments of the servant-leadership movement by envisioning, creating, and testing a new leadership platform based on a set of guiding beliefs and actual day-to-day practices. Their unique perspective transforms traditional practices, like employee coaching and collaboration, into dynamic self-actualizing workplaces. They also share insights about less frequently discussed leadership issues such as how to build an empowering network of relationships and transform pushback into progress. Anyone who wishes to craft their own distinctive, compelling, and empowering leadership style that unleashes the latent energy of people and their organizations will discover a robust framework for doing so in Leading with Care in a Tough World. “Pragmatic, thought-provoking, and exceptionally well-written . . . If you’re a leader, or aspiring to become one, I strongly recommend this book.” —Frank Sonnenberg, award-winning author of Managing with a Conscience “Filled with inspiring stories, practical advice and years of tried-and-true methods.” —Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, New York Times–bestselling author of Triggers

This Isn’t Fine - The Cultural...

Taylor Ahlstrom

This Isn’t Fine is a surprisingly funny and accessible ride through a world on the brink of collapse—and what we can do to survive it. Diving headfirst into finance and energy, culture and ecology, Taylor Ahlstrom transforms the complex systems and histories that underpin our society into relatable narratives, all while mythbusting popular delusions on everything from free-market capitalism to electric cars.This is not a book about the end of the world. This is a book about how we can save it. And it’s a must-read for any human on planet earth.***Feel like the whole world is going to shit?Been haunted by a creeping sense of existential dread?Worried about the future of the planet—and ourselves?. . . it’s both better—and worse—than you think.Wars and pandemics and wildfires and murder hornets, Elon and Bezos and dick rockets and cost-of-living crises—this isn’t fine. In fact, it’s totally, utterly, almost inescapably f*cked. But however bad you think things seem . . . I promise you, all of these things are just a drop in the bucket, a matchbook in the dumpster fire we need to put out.It’s the biggest problem that nobody’s talking about . . . the biggest secret that’s hiding in plain sight. It’s the biggest problem humanity has ever faced. And no, I’m not talking about climate change. Well, there’s that too. And to make matters worse, as the dumpster fire keeps on raging, we’re starting to get used to the smell.Within these pages is the beginning to the answer to the problem at the heart of all the problems. It’s why you’ve probably tuned out, given up, or given in, and what you can do to come back to life. It’s everything that’s wrong with the world and the way we’re living in it and what we have to do to turn this ship around. But if we want to put out the fire, burning. And if we want to build something better, we have to know which pieces were better off getting burnt.

Strip Tees - A Memoir of...

Kate Flannery

This program is read by the author.“Compelling and brave, Kate’s story is a must read for all young women learning how to navigate adulthood and identity.” —Lili Reinhart, New York Times bestselling authorStrip Tees is a fever dream of a memoir—Hunter S. Thompson meets Gloria Steinem—about a recent college graduate and what happens when her feminist ideals meet the real world.At the turn of the new millennium, LA is the place to be. “Hipster” is a new word on the scene. Lauren Conrad is living her Cinderella story in the “Hills” on millions of television sets across the country. Paris Hilton tells us “That’s hot” from behind the biggest sunglasses imaginable, while beautiful teenagers fight and fall in love on The O.C.Into this most glittering of supposed utopias, Kate Flannery arrives with a Seven Sisters diploma in hand and a new job at an upstart clothing company called American Apparel. Kate throws herself into the work, determined to climb the corporate fashion ladder. Having a job at American Apparel also means being a part of the advertising campaigns themselves, stripping down in the name of feminism. She slowly begins to lose herself in a landscape of rowdy sex-positivity, racy photo shoots, and a cultlike devotion to the unorthodox CEO and founder of the brand. The line between sexual liberation and exploitation quickly grows hazy, leading Kate to question the company’s ethics and wrestle with her own. Strip Tees captures a moment in our recent past that’s already sepia-toned in nostalgia, and also paints a timeless portrait of a young woman who must choose between what business demands and self-respect requires.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.
