Beschreibung

How do you lead virtual teams to high performance?

Globalisation is here to stay - yet no one is really prepared. Many teams tasked with managing globalisation are clearly out of their depth. This is primarily because these teams work virtually and internationally over great distances. The team members no longer sit face to face in their offices, instead they communicate across countries and continents via modern communication media.

Leading a conventional team to top performance is difficult enough, not least because of the inevitable group dynamic involved. When the context becomes virtual, this all too often leads to management failure. This book describes the art of leading virtual teams in an entertaining style including practical tips, helpful suggestions, and numerous illustrative examples that span many industries and countries along the four core challenges of virtual team leadership today.

Gary Thomas is a trainer, consultant and managing director at assist International Human Resources, an internationally operating HR organisation based in Germany. As many of his clients are international organisations and corporations, he has been assisting intercultural and virtual teams and leaders for over 20 years to develop their full potential.

    The financial services world is changing.  Technology is  enabling an automated approach to investing that should bring down  the cost of commodity services.  No longer do you have to fund  the lifestyle of a broker or advisor to have him tell you how to  diversify or where to find the next investment that cannot be  missed.  This book and website will provide the tools for  calculators that tell you most of what you need to know; from how  much insurance you need to have to how you should diversify.   The book will help readers with the following:        Understand what you  have        Plan your long-term  goals        Start to save (maximizing  your 401k)        Reduce debt        Run your Monte Carlo  Simulation        Determine the appropriate  asset allocation        Set up your  auto-rebalancing and periodically (annually, perhaps) re-examining  your asset allocation to account for globalization        Deploy the asset mix  through low cost, tax-efficient strategies        Look at it once per  year  This book will provide a better understanding of your investment  decisions. But, we all cannot be do-it-yourselfers. Advisors serve  as an important resource for consumers when they are both capable  and understand their duty to serve you, the customer, first.   To complement their moral station, they must have the skills to  deliver appropriate advice.  The book, much like the company  Steve founded, will simplify standards for consumers and audit  advisors to those standards.

    In recent years, dreams about our technological future have soured as digital platforms have undermined privacy, eroded labor rights, and weakened democratic discourse. In light of the negative consequences of innovation, some blame harmful algorithms or greedy CEOs. Behind the Startup focuses instead on the role of capital and the influence of financiers. Drawing on nineteen months of participant-observation research inside a successful Silicon Valley startup, this book examines how the company was organized to meet the needs of the venture capital investors who funded it. Investors push startups to scale as quickly as possible to inflate the value of their asset. Benjamin Shestakofsky shows how these demands create organizational problems that managers solve by combining high-tech systems with low-wage human labor. With its focus on the financialization of innovation, Behind the Startup explains how the gains generated by these companies are funneled into the pockets of a small cadre of elite investors and entrepreneurs. To promote innovation that benefits the many rather than the few, Shestakofsky compellingly argues that we must focus less on fixing the technology and more on changing the financial infrastructure that supports it.
