  Leadership from Bad to Worse -...

  Leadership from Bad to Worse is about how leadership that is bad, invariably, inexorably, gets worse—unless it is somehow, by someone or something, stopped or slowed. 
   
   
   
  This work draws on four cases of bad leadership—two in political leadership, two in business leadership—to show how it goes from bad to worse. Kellerman finds that bad leadership and bad followership go through four phases of development: 1) Onward and Upward; 2) Followers Join In; 3) Leaders Start In; and 4) Bad to Worse. These findings correctly suggest that the book, in addition to being of theoretical interest, is of practical import. It is intended, deliberately, to serve as an early warning system. By breaking bad leadership and followership into phases—each more ominous and ultimately dangerous than the one preceding—their progression will be easier to predict and detect. And easier, therefore, to slow or, preferably, to stop before they turn toxic. 
   
   
   
  Bad leadership is a social disease. But unlike diseases that are physical or psychological, it remains at the margins of our collective concerns. Leadership from Bad to Worse is, then, a corrective. Knowing that bad leadership can be checked before it corrupts is knowing that bad and then worse can be, if not completely precluded, then sometimes short-circuited.

  Turns out much of the advice weve been given about how to  make the world a better place turns out to be dead wrong. Donating  to certain charities will do thousands of times more good that  donating to others. Non-profits that choose to carry out one  program instead of another will be hundreds of times less  successful than they could be, regardless of how bright,  hard-working, and compassionate their staff may be.  The majority of Americans are involved in charitable work. Most  of us donate. Many of us volunteer. Millions go to work each day at  a non-profit organization. By taking a more rigorous, calculated  approach to charity, we can learn how to do dramatically more good.  We can learn how to truly change the world.  This book shows you how. Drawing on fifteen years of non-profit  experience, a working knowledge of thousands of academic studies on  what drives charitable and behavioral decisions, interviews with  non-profit and philanthropy professionals, and years of reading,  writing, and lecturing on how to effectively bring about social  change.  The first book to address how a whole host of psychological and  social factors combine to drive us toward making bad charitable  decisions, its unique content and frank approach will help it stand  out in the field of non-profit and philanthropy books.

  Chronoleadership - How to create...

  Humans are born with a circadian rhythm – a sleep-wake rhythm. Variations in human genes cause us to sleep and wake at different times of the day. Your circadian rhythm is therefore not something you choose. You are genetically predisposed to be either a morning person or an evening person. If we need an alarm clock to wake up in the morning, we are not only disrupting our sleep – we are living out of sync with our internal biological clocks. Living out of sync with our biological clocks makes us more vulnerable to infections, cancer, obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. And at work, it makes us less productive and effective. This book shows you how you can use the knowledge of chronobiology to create healthier, more sustainable and more productive rhythms in the workplace. Knowledge-based societies require an inclusion of different circadian rhythms, and there is much to be gained for individuals, for companies, and for society if we let go of prejudices and create social acceptance and respect for our diversity in circadian rhythms. Chronoleadership is a new framework for creating attractive (and productive) workplaces for both morning persons and evening persons.
