The Enabling Manager - How to get the best out of your team

Myles Downey

Synopsis

A practical, modern book for managers and leaders who need to know how to get the best from their teams in a 21st century business world. The world of work and the needs of people in the workplace have changed to the extent that the old models no longer work. Today's manager cannot rely on 'command-and-control' and a culture of compliance to get their job done.
 
 What is the answer? Much of what Millennials are asking for - development and growth; transparency and connection; work that has meaning and purpose; empowerment - a change in leadership style, that is fitting to today's business environment; that seeks to align rather than control, to enable rather than constrain, to coach rather than command. Leading business coach Myles Downey applies the concept of coaching to modern- day management, showing managers how to motivate and enable teams and team members to achieve their goals.

The Sociology of Consumption -...

Fred Grandsen

Consumption is more than just the act of buying goods and services; it is deeply embedded in social life, shaping identities, relationships, and cultural norms. Every purchase, whether intentional or subconscious, communicates something about an individual’s values, social status, and aspirations. From luxury fashion to everyday grocery choices, consumption reflects broader social trends and plays a crucial role in defining personal and collective identities.
One of the key aspects of consumption is its role in self-expression. People often use products to craft and communicate their identities, signaling their tastes, lifestyles, and even political beliefs. Clothing, for example, can represent a person’s social class, cultural background, or profession, while the brands they choose may indicate affiliations with certain social groups. The rise of sustainable fashion, vegan products, and ethical brands demonstrates how consumers align their purchases with their moral values, reinforcing the idea that buying is not just about necessity but about meaning.
In addition to personal identity, consumption is tied to social status and economic class. French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu argued that consumption patterns are shaped by “cultural capital,” or the knowledge, tastes, and habits associated with different social classes. Wealthy individuals may engage in conspicuous consumption, a term coined by Thorstein Veblen, where luxury goods serve as symbols of status and exclusivity. However, in modern consumer societies, status can also be displayed through experiences, such as luxury travel or exclusive events, rather than material possessions alone.
