Summary

Countries and regions in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) have gone through several challenges. They went through totalitarian and authoritarian communist regimes, gained independence at the end of the 19th century, faced new economic and political challenges and rejoined Europe in a perspective of mutual development.
As different as they may be, despite recent populist movements, the CEE countries have much in common and regional policies can help the "forgotten places" to explore their opportunities, supporting democracy, cohesion, and local economies in the European Union.
Grzegorz Gorzelak is a professor of economics, specialising in regional and local development policies and strategy building. He has collaborated with the World Bank, the OECD, DG Regio of the European Commission, several agencies of the Polish and Ukrainian governments, as well as regional and local authorities.
This is the fourteenth essay in the Big Ideas series created by the European Investment Bank.
Available since: 10/22/2020.

    Today, we are facing an unprecedented urgency to reinvent talent dynamics. The rapidly converging forces of the pandemic and the rolling waves of activism as a result of the #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter movements have accelerated the need for change.Traditional talent processes served the purposes of the last decade, the last millennium even. But we have reached a point where people practices must become more human-centric, intelligent, more robust in their skills and capability matching, more learning and growth-oriented, more enabling, more rigorous in their transparency and inclusivity and better able to deliver the talent optimization that organizations will need in the coming decade. Organizations who are fair, transparent, inclusive, respectful of their people are the ones who will thrive into the future.In this book, Anne Fulton demonstrates that this is what the Future of Work is all about: talent agility, empowerment and enablement — the true emancipation of talent.

    The long war has brought hunger to Europe; some of her peoples stand constantly face to face with starvation. To meet all this great food need in Europe—and meeting it is an imperative military necessity—we must be very careful and economical in our food use here at home. We must eat less; we must waste nothing; we must equalize the distribution of what food we may retain for ourselves; we must prevent extortion and profiteering which make prices so high that the poor cannot buy the food they actually need; and we must try to produce more food. For all this there is needed a "food education" of all our people. For the purpose of diffusing this information this little book has been prepared under the direction of the Food Administration. By following the suggestions for food conservation herein contained every one can render his country an important war service.

Motivation plays an important role in getting things done, as nothing good has ever been achieved without feeling that adrenaline rush in your body. We bet you can clearly recall the last time when you felt energized, active and in love with life! That is the state that you want to be in when something important needs to be accomplished. However, it is not a secret that most people struggle with motivation on a daily basis, especially those that live in the richest and wealthiest countries of the world. Why? Because having all the basic needs satisfied is enough for our brain to feel comfortable and at ease, which leads to a static condition where personal growth is stopped for good. However, there is a way to rewire your brain, change your mindset and unlock the power of motivation once again. What is this big secret? Motivational quotes! Do not worry, this is not simply a pseudo motivational sentences collection put one after the other without a reasoning behind it. When we decided to create this book, we wanted to do something different, combining the best quotes with our knowledge in neuroscience and mind hacking. Here is why this quote collection is different and why you are going to love it: - The entire book has a powerful binaural beat soundtrack in the background, to allow your mind to produce theta waves - All the quotes are put in specific order to reprogram your mind in the most effective way - This book contains only quotes from the greatest mind that have ever lived, which will make your brain reach a deep state - much more... But do I have to spend hours and hours actively listening to this book? Do not worry, this book was created in a specific way that allows you to rip its benefits even while listening to it passively.
