Sinopse

In today's relentless work culture, "Strategic Downtime" offers a refreshing perspective: intentional rest is not a luxury but a crucial strategy for boosting productivity and overall well-being. The book challenges the idea that constant work equates to success, instead emphasizing the importance of strategic downtime for optimal performance, stress management, and preventing burnout. For example, the book presents evidence showing how overwork without rest can diminish cognitive function and impair decision-making, directly impacting business outcomes. 

 
The book guides readers through the science of rest, exploring the neuroscience of sleep, the impact of circadian rhythms, and the cognitive benefits of mindfulness. It then presents practical strategies for incorporating downtime into daily routines, including techniques for time management, task prioritization, and creating restorative environments. 

 
Furthermore, "Strategic Downtime" offers guidance for managers on fostering an organizational culture that values employee wellness and reduces burnout, demonstrating how such an approach can lead to improved collective performance. 

 
The book distinguishes itself by moving beyond generic self-help advice, providing a data-driven, evidence-based approach supported by scientific research, case studies, and real-world examples. 

 
The chapters gradually build upon each other, starting with the individual benefits of rest and expanding to organizational strategies, culminating in a discussion of the long-term implications of strategic downtime for a balanced, fulfilling life.

The Kind Leader - A Practical...

Karyn Ross

Kindness and leadership aren't often synonymous. Ask someone to describe "good leadership" to you and you will hear many adjectives used. And though there are many more that come to mind, kindness isn't one of them. And here's the problem with that. 
 
 
 
What a leader models—how they think, speak, and act—influences the people they lead. Leaders who think, speak, and act unkindly give legitimacy and permission to those they lead to think, speak, and act in exactly the same unkind ways. In an increasingly fragmented, polarized, and divided world, we need leaders who will bring people together, not divide them. We need kindness to become synonymous with good leadership. 
 
 
 
The purpose of this book is to teach leaders how to lead with kindness so they can influence the people they lead to create kinder workplaces, organizations, and the world. 
 
 
 
This book gives you a deep theoretical understanding of the importance of leading with kindness and also provides practical exercises for you to use. By the time you finish the book, you will feel confident in your ability to lead with kindness and also to address organizational problems at work, at home, and in the community with kindness.
