  “You’re going to want to share copies of this book with your overbooked friends and colleagues, but before you do, take some time to read it yourself. Funt’s wisdom around making space is priceless.” —Seth Godin, author of The Practice 
  Do you wish you could stop the mayhem of work and life and just take a minute? Do you sense you could contribute more if there were a little more room in the day? Does busyness deprive you and your burnt-out team of the oxygen your talents need to catch fire? 
  Many have felt that way, yet taking a pause has seemed impossible—until now. 
  In A Minute to Think, Juliet Funt, a globally recognized warrior in the battle against busyness, provides a powerful guide that will give you the permission, framework, and specific direction you need to do the following:Regain control of your overloaded, caffeinated, inbox-worshiping workdayLiberate yourself and your teams from burnout and busyworkReclaim creativity and focus despite the chaos around youBring thoughtfulness into designing your next work normsTame the beast of email and escape the mire of meetingsFind your precious minute to think 
  You’re not alone in your yearning for freedom from constant reactivity. The global workforce today is so fried that it belongs in the food court of a county fair. We’re relentlessly behind the curve, dousing fires everywhere, and our 3 a.m. insomnia provides the only unscheduled thinking time of the day. 
  What we need reinserted in our lives is the missing element of white space—short periods of open, unscheduled time that, when recaptured, change the very nature of work. White space is the stepping back, the strategic pause, the oxygen that allows the sparks of our efforts to catch fire. White space has the power to radically—and simply—reinvent the way we approach work in this maxed-out, post-COVID 21st-century world. 
  With Juliet’s memorable stories, easy-to-use tools, and razor-sharp instruction, she carves for us an escape route from the overwhelming amount of low-value tasks and the daily avalanche of e-mails, meetings, decks, and reports. Using research, client stories, and a relatable voice, Juliet shows all of us how to reclaim time for thinking and make room for what truly matters. Whether you are an individual trying to build a more sane and humane flow of daily work, a team that wants new levels of efficiency and effectiveness, or an entire organization changing your culture toward thoughtfulness, this book will lead you there.

  Extraordinary Groups - How...

  Why are some teams described in such exceptional terms, while most  are not? Bellman and Ryan argue that people instinctively sense  when a group experience is something special, something different  from the ordinary, something that surpasses their expectations in a  positive, remarkable, and hard-to-describe way. These extraordinary  groups achieve outstanding results and their members--individually  or collectively--experience a profound shift in how they see their  world. They are transformed.   However large or small, visible or intangible, such  transformative shifts happen because the group experience satisfies  core needs that members intuitively bring to any group they join.  Bellman and Ryan's study suggests there are six needs, forming  three pairs related to one's self, the group, and the world in  which the group exists. These six elements combine in what the  authors describe as the Group Needs model:    Acceptance of self while moving toward one's  Potential  A Bond with others that grows while pursuing a common  Purpose  Understanding the Reality of the world while  collectively making an Impact    Whether at work, at home, or in the community, when a group  experience meets two or more of these needs, it will stand out for  the members of the team. Based on extensive research and filled  with examples from amazing groups, Extraordinary Groups  presents the Group Needs Model to help anyone nurture extraordinary  experiences in their groups and achieve outstanding results. This  book is a timely resource for anyone who leads groups including HR  and OD professionals, managers, executives, nonprofit managers and  directors, virtual teams leaders, and trainers.

  Sustainable company growth isn't just a pipedream. This three-part blueprint is your guide to avoiding the traps that cause growth to stall. 
   
   
   
  As companies mature, their underlying growth naturally slows—this is called the 'growth curse'. It's a pervasive problem that plagues companies, CEOs, and board members alike. In order to safeguard a company's future, a strategic form of governance in which the board plays a more active role on behalf of all stakeholders, must be activated. 
   
   
   
  This book is comprised of three parts. First it shows companies how to identify the traditional traps that hinder growth. The second part provides companies with a blueprint for building their board, defining long-term strategy, and adjustments necessary to serve continued growth. The final part delves into the specific ways that the board and executives must collaborate in relation to strategic renewal. 
   
   
   
  Reimagining the limits of growth and how companies are run as a consequence provides an escape from the 'growth curse' at last.
