  A New York Times bestseller: “The funniest writer in America” takes on the global economy (The Wall Street Journal).   In this book, renowned political humorist P. J. O’Rourke, author of Parliament of Whores and How the Hell Did This Happen? leads us on a hysterical whirlwind world tour from the “good capitalism” of Wall Street to the “bad socialism” of Cuba in search of the answer to an age-old question: “Why do some places prosper and thrive, while others just suck?” With stops in Albania, Sweden, Hong Kong, Moscow, and Tanzania, O’Rourke takes a look at the complexities of economics with a big dose of the incomparable wit that has made him one of today’s most refreshing commentators.   “O’Rourke has done the unthinkable: he’s made money funny.” —Forbes FYI   “[O’Rourke is] witty, smart and—though he hides it under a tough coat of cynicism—a fine reporter . . . Delightful.” —The New York Times Book Review

  Most managers understand the importance of giving their employees recognition and rewards, but when it comes to actually doing so, they often come up empty or use outdated, ineffective strategies. 151 Quick Ideas to Recognize and Reward Employees will help managers stock up. Recognition and rewards are consistently found to be among the most powerful of all motivators for employees at any job level. In fact, when employees are asked to describe their most satisfying experiences at work, they frequently mention situations in which they received recognition and rewards for their performance. And, importantly, when managers are skilled in providing this type of feedback, their employees typically reward them with increased productivity, commitment, and overall performance. However, just like customers who always order the same old entree at a restaurant, managers tend to choose the same old kinds of recognition and rewards. Some traditional rewards still work well, of course, but there is always room for new ideas.151 Quick Ideas to Recognize and Reward Employees offers you the full menu of recognition and reward strategies. It comes with detailed descriptions of the most popular ideas in business, plus others that are destined to become classics. Ideas such as:— Enriching jobs by giving employees more autonomy and decision-making responsibilities.— Purchasing personally signed books suited to the potential you see in eachemployee.— Awarding special coupons for free gasoline or transportation.— Hiring a masseuse to rub out stiff necks and backs.— Making your employees more invested by offering profit-sharing.— Plus many free or low-cost rewards.Included with each of the 151 strategies is an “assignment” that you can use as a roadmap to bring the idea to life.

  The Myths of Creativity - The...

  There is a mythology around creativity  a hazy system of  beliefs developed to try to understand what many believe to be  incomprehensible. Because of this mythology, many  businesspeople view creativity and innovation as vague and  inaccessible, assuming that creativity happens through a largely  transcendent process of inspiration to which only a select few  are granted access. Fortunately for all of us who need to be  more creative or lead our organizations through a creativity  process, this is simply not the case, and The Myths of  Creativity shows how anyone can drop the faulty conventional  wisdom of creativity, understand the actual research behind how the  creative process works, and ultimately generate impressive creative  results.  Each chapter of The Myths of Creativity debunks one  erroneous assumption about the creative process:    Chapter 1: The Sacred Myth: Creativity is not a distant  inspiration given to a select few, but comes from within  Chapter 2: The Breed Myth: Creativity is not a trait  that only certain individuals hold and pass along  Chapter 3: The Eureka Myth: Creative insight is not the  sudden spark romanticized by stories of Newtons Apple or  Archimedes bathtub, but involves a slow hunch  Chapter 4: The Originality Myth: Most creative ideas are  not unique or original, but are usually new combinations of older  ideas.  Chapter 5: The Expert Myth: Highly trained experts in a  particular domain are sometimes incapable of generating creative  insight. Instead, outsiders can provide the fresh perspective  needed to creatively solve complex problems.  Chapter 6: The Incentive Myth: Traditional incentives  like bonuses, awards or other carrots provide little  influence on creativity  Chapter 7: The Lone Creator Myth: Most innovation is the  product of a group of individuals and not any one person.  Chapter 8: The Brainstorming Myth: Creativity requires  more than merely the rapid generation of ideas.  Chapter 9: The Cohesive Myth: Cohesive cultures and  feel good environments can hinder innovation.  Chapter 10: The Constraints Myth: While the traditional  view of creativity is out-of-the-box or no  limits, constraints can actually help enhance creativity in  individuals and teams.  Chapter 11: The Mousetrap Myth: Creative ideas and  innovations dont experience immediate celebration like the  proverbial better mousetrap. Instead, they often  experience backlash as a first reaction.  Chapter 12: The Moral Myth: Enhancing creativity is not  always good.    The chapters are filled with fresh case studies from  Burkuss dissertation research.  The Myths of Creativity is essential reading for anyone  who feels like creativity is a struggle. It demystifies the  creative process, debunks myths that may be holding back your  creative juices, and ultimately will result in more and better  ideas for you and your team.
