Summary

Great leaders are purposeful action-takers; this means they don’t get bogged down in the sometimes overwhelming amount of work on their desks – they purposefully work towards the achievement of their defined goal, whatever it may be. Great managers don’t try to do more things – they focus on doing the right things, and in getting them done. Becoming a purposeful action-taker is a process, with both organizational and personal parts. The personal part is to become a purposeful action-taker yourself; the organizational part is fostering purposeful action-taking in your corporation, so the manager can actually be a purposeful action-taker, and lead his or her employees to be the same. CONTENTSIntroduction The Personal Dimension The Organizational Dimension Purposeful Action-Taking The Frenzied The Procrastinators The Detached The Purposeful Develop Your Energy and Focus Build Your Reserves of Willpower Align Your Emotions with Your Goals Overcome the Traps of Inaction Overwhelming Demands Unbearable Constraints Unexplored Options Taking Action at the Corporate Level Overcome Internal Challenges Weave Action-Taking into the Culture Give Your People the Freedom to Act

    In Scaling Done Right, Scrum@Scale trainers Gereon Hermkes and Luiz Quintela show how organizations can dramatically improve their productivity and adaptability, and finally achieve business agility. 
    In a time where the mortality of large organizations is rising in lockstep with a constantly increasing rate of change, it is not surprising that many of the world’s most valuable companies are using Scrum to succeed. 
    Scrum@Scale, which was developed by Scrum co-creator Dr. Jeff Sutherland, naturally extends Scrum to the whole organization. By mimicking patterns seen in nature and focusing on a “minimum viable bureaucracy”, it is possible to install an agile operating system that aligns the whole organization. 
    As the first book on this paradigm-shifting management method, this vital resource can help you in understanding this revolutionary framework as well as avoiding typical pitfalls in its implementation. 
    "Should be on the bookshelf of every Agile leader in the world." - Dr. Jeff Sutherland, Co-Creator of Scrum and Creator of Scrum@Scale, from the foreword

    Three out of five workers across the world say they feel burned out. A 2020 study claims that the figure is in fact three in four. Over the past 24 months, our relationship with work has changed beyond recognition. On one side, employees are now looking for more choice, flexibility and freedom than ever before and statistics show that if they don't get what they want, they are prepared to vote with their feet. On the other, employers across all industries and job roles are currently facing mass resignations, with 3.6 million US workers resigning in May 2021 alone. With such a background, organizations are now being forced to take burnout among their workforce more seriously. 
     
     This book offers a story-based exploration of a growing risk and some real and deep practices that seek to improve the human experience of the present-day workforce and make organizations more viable for the future. The authors look at the current burnout situation from a lens of discovering and seeking to heal some of the root causes of workplace despair. The book gives the reader a sense of when burnout is happening or imminent and suggests human and radical inroads for prevention and healing.

    In 1996, having completed a two-year research study, longtime Economist journalists and editors John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge published The Witch Doctors, an explosive critique of management theory and its legions of evangelists and followers. The book became a bestseller, widely praised by reviewers and devoured by readers confused by the buzzwords and concepts the management “industry” creates. At the time, ideas about “reengineering,” “the search for excellence,” “quality,” and “chaos” both energized and haunted the world of business, just as “the long tail,” “black swans,” “the tipping point,” “the war for talent,” and “corporate responsibility” do today.For decades, since the rise of MBA programs on campuses across the country, the field of management has operated in a dubious space. Many of its framers clamor for respect within the academy while making millions of dollars pedaling ideas, some brilliant and some nonsensical, in speeches, consulting arrangements, and books.Although The Witch Doctors was a damning critique (“a scalpel job,” according to the Wall Street Journal), it also argued that much of management theory is valuable—making companies more effi-cient and productive, improving organizational life for workers, and providing sound ways for companies to innovate while defending more entrenched plans. Building upon all that made the original such a phenomenal success, this fully revised and updated edition, Masters of Management, takes into account the rise of the Internet, the growing power of emerging markets, the Great Recession of 2008, and the more recent developments in management theory. The result is an indispensable volume for any manager.

    The Spirit of Hospitality takes readers on a journey of passion for purpose that empowers the missing ingredients of hospitality into a proven leadership style that works. Time has sped up to the point where technology has surpassed the last few thousand years by only a generation. What happened to kindness, humility and the human touch vs. having our face buried into a laptop or IPhone? A life dedicated to excellence does not come by chance, or with age, but by choice and commitment. Larry Stuart strives to give The Spirit of Hospitality to others who are called to a life of prosperity and significance. He provides the tools, attributes and real-life examples of what works when it comes to serving up a memorable guest service delivery and describes the necessary ingredients of hospitality. There is hope only if individuals bring back the missing ingredients of kindness, humility, integrity, encouragement, generosity, team and accountability. Only then is the spirit of hospitality empowered to provide the right leadership approach in building relationships to a new level of expectation, and allows those who embrace that spirit to accomplish whatever they strive to achieve.
