  Whale Hunting - How to Land Big...

  For centuries, the Inuit people of Alaska and Canada have thrived  in some of the harshest lands on Earth. In the long Arctic winters  that last from October to May, food is scarce and survival is a  struggle. Nothing grows on the icy land and the Inuit are forced to  rely upon the animals of the land and sea to provide their  sustenance. They hunt the caribou that roam across the tundra; they  hunt the seals and walrus that swim along the shore; they fish in  freezing, rough seas; and, every year, the Inuit hunt the most  treacherous but prized prey of all, the whales that live in the  deep ocean.   Just like the Inuit, when businesses reach a certain stage of  growth, they face a choice between making many small, safe sales  and concentrating on a small number of big accounts that are hard  to find, hard to land and that involve greater risk. The dynamic is  the same as when the Inuit make the conscious decision to defer  easy hunts for seal and caribou and set out to sea in their umiaks  to find whales. Selling to large accounts is the key to generating  significant growth in sale and revenues. In business, as in the  Arctic, it pays to become a whale hunter.

  Flex - Reinventing Work for a...

  Seasoned trends forecaster and consultant Annie Auerbach takes a fresh look at women’s professional lives today by rethinking the 9 to 5 in this “no-nonsense guide to thinking and behaving more flexibly in order to have a happier, better, less frenetic life” (Marie Claire)—now widely available for American readers and updated with an author note addressing work in the post-Covid age. 
   
  The recent coronavirus outbreak has proven what Annie Auerbach has long championed: working 9-5 in an office doesn’t work for most us.  
  It’s time to change the rules. 
  We can be efficient and productive when we’re allowed the freedom of flexibility—to meet deadlines working during the hours and in the places we choose. But before the coronavirus pandemic, only 47 percent of American workers had access to flexible working options. Annie Auerbach advises major corporations, including Nike, Google, Unilever, and Pepsico. She understands work culture and the needs of employees. The world is changing for working women, but until the recent pandemic, companies turned a blind eye. Now, it’s time to make this change routine. 
  Auerbach reiterates the importance of leaving the office cubicle behind and explores the realities many women experience working from home and the changes to their daily lives, including the trickle-down effects, from emotional labor to balancing childcare and education with work, to even biohacking the female body’s unique rhythms.  
  What happens when women embrace the concept of flex? We become more creative, more strategic with our time and energy, and more engaged with our personal lives. As Auerbach makes clear, we reject “our toxic culture of presenteeism, time-pressure, and ultimately burnout. It helps us escape the army of octopus lady jugglers, crazed with the exhaustion of “having it all.” It allows us to live longer lives more sustainably. It gives us self-worth.” 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Work Better Together - How to...

  For years, companies have been implementing programs that promote social responsibility and improve employee health, both of which benefit the financial bottom line. Now it's time to focus on positive social interactions and relationships in the workplace. Why? Research shows that authentic, trust-based relationships increase job satisfaction, engagement, productivity, and retention—and even decreased healthcare costs. In Work Better Together, two experts from Deloitte explain how working remotely, over-relying on digital communication, and always being "on" is fast-increasing feelings of isolation and burnout—and how a work culture driven by quality relationships can reverse these trends. The authors show how to cultivate positive relationships by: focusing on self-care, such as physical health, quality sleep, and taking time off; tapping into human skills, such as empathy, authenticity, and communication; using technology with intentionality to strengthen relationships, while breaking the negative habits technology fosters; managing workplace relationships, whether you’re in the office every day or telecommuting—or something in between; and developing a culture of strong relationships that drive quality collaboration throughout the organization.
