    Adapting to change is part of life. In our highly competitive world, organizational change in the workplace is more and more essential for business success. Unfortunately for many of us, change is hard and managing change is even harder. Because we really don't know how the brain works, we and our employees don't know what makes us more receptive to change. Employees can't tell their managers what they need to "get on the train", and managers don't know either.In her first book, What Your Customer Wants and Can't Tell You, author and behavioral economics specialist Melina Palmer, applies the science of behavioral economics to unlocking what is behind customer decisions. Behavioral economics combines elements of economics and psychology to understand how and why people behave the way they do in the real world. Now, in her sequel, What Your Employees Need and Can't Tell You, she offers a highly actionable roadmap for business executives and managers faced with the task of instituting successful organizational change.What Your Employees Need and Can't Tell You delivers insights and research from behavioral economics and the greater behavioral sciences, presented in an enjoyable way that you can actually use to get results.

    One Day University presents a series of audio lectures recorded in real-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award-winning professors and experts in their field, these recorded lectures dive deep into the worlds of religion, government, literature, and social justice. Everyone negotiates. Yet many people think of negotiation primarily as an adversarial interaction where there is a winner and a loser. Framing negotiations in this way creates adversarial interactions because what we expect is what often what we get. In this talk, Professor Margaret Neale will explore the opportunities that exist when negotiators reframe their interactions from adversarial battles to collaborative problem-solving. In doing so, she will demonstrate how to get (more of) what you want by expanding the opportunities to create and claim value in everyday interactions as well as in those rare, high-value interactions. This audio lecture includes a supplemental PDF.

    There is a nagging feeling  that the U.S. is slipping as a nation and the people are powerless  about doing anything to fix it.  Issues on jobs, quality,  product safety, wages, the economy, and status as the world's  leading superpower are all tied together with the massive trade  deficit.   Re-Made in the USA  addresses these issues from the author's firsthand observations and  analysis as an American business person with extensive  international expertise.  The book then motivates the reader  to take positive action to get the nation back on track.   People will pick up the book because they are worried, but finish  empowered.  America's future is on the  decline, but it does not have to be this way.  Americans have  a choice between doing nothing, and doing what they do best   rolling up their sleeves and working hard to fix  it.
