Ledelse og strategi

Målrettet ledere, direktører, og HR-medarbejdere, introduceres bogen "#Youngster - 5 dogmer til at tiltrække og fastholde millennials". Din virksomheds evne til at tiltrække og fastholde unge talenter vil med garanti blive udfordret. Forfatterne bag bogen, Mikkel Sandal Hansen, Patrick Walther Thomsen, Andreas von der Recke og Jacob Harlev, har stiftet rådgivningsvirksomheden YoungConsult, som i dag drives af Andreas og Mikkel. Baseret på et studie af 500+ studerende, 45+ dybdeinterviews og case-studier af Deloitte, Les Deux og SOUNDBOKS, giver "#Youngster" dig fortællingen om unge, fortalt af unge. De unge talenter i klassen marcherer netop nu med sine dovne skridt ind i dansk erhvervsliv. I folkemunde bliver vi kaldt Millennials, Generation Y og Generation Z. Kært barn har mange navne, men én ting er sikkert: Vi er en generation som er vores helt egen, og vi får sjældent de store roser med på vejen. Om man er enig i kritikken eller ej, kommer vi ikke udenom, at os og resten af vores fucked generation inden for få år udgør en stor del af arbejdsmarkedet. Hvis du har været online inden for det seneste år, så er du formentlig stødt på en undersøgelse, et debatindlæg eller en artikel der behandler generationsskiftet på arbejdsmarkedet. Enten kritiseres eller lovprises vores generation. Nogle indlæg er bare sure opstød. Andre indlæg er baseret på internationale studier, gennemført af anerkendte og respekterede forskere eller konsulenthuse. Fællesnævneren er, at kommentarer eller undersøgelser ofte oprinder fra Xere eller Boomere. Folk der har læst og studeret sig til, hvordan det er at være ung med de unge. Vi oplever ofte, at disse studier er gode forsøg, men ikke rammer hovedet på sømmet. De er ikke dybdegående nok. Den primære årsag er, at de er biased af negative holdninger, eller fordi, de ikke stiller det vigtige, nysgerrige spørgsmål: "Hvorfor?". Det har vi gjort. Det er blevet til 5 dogmer. Og de er sgu blevet gode. Det siger vores forældre selv. Dogmer i sig selv lyder jo fandens gammelt, og det er det jo også. Dogmeidéen er at lade historien træde frem i modsætning til mediet. Som da Lars Von Trier og Thomas Vinterberg redefinerede filmindustrien med deres manifest Dogme 95. Vi redefinerer, hvad talenter i virkeligheden vil have på en arbejdsplads. Du kan bruge vores dogmer som rettesnor, inspiration eller optænding på en kold vinteraften i sommerhuset. Du bestemmer - vi kræver bare at du lytter.

Collaboration is increasingly difficult and increasingly necessary Often, to get something done that really matters to us, we need to work with people we don't agree with or like or trust. Adam Kahane has faced this challenge many times, working on big issues like democracy and jobs and climate change and on everyday issues in organizations and families. He has learned that our conventional understanding of collaboration-that it requires a harmonious team that agrees on where it's going, how it's going to get there, and who needs to do what-is wrong. Instead, we need a new approach to collaboration that embraces discord, experimentation, and genuine cocreation-which is exactly what Kahane provides in this groundbreaking and timely book.

Shay was still angry but shrugged nonchalantly as if to say, it's not that big of a deal. "So, what am I wrong about?""You're not going to want to hear this, but I have to tell you anyway." Liam paused before finishing. "You might be working hard, but you're not doing it for the company.""What the hell does that mean?" Shay wanted to know.Knowing that his adversary might punch him for what he was about to say, Liam responded. "You're doing it for yourself."New York Times best-selling author Patrick Lencioni has written a dozen books that focus on how leaders can build teams and lead organizations. In The Motive, he shifts his attention toward helping them understand the importance of why they're leading in the first place.In what may be his edgiest page-turner to date, Lencioni thrusts his readers into a day-long conversation between rival CEOs. Shay Davis is the CEO of Golden Gate Alarm, who, after just a year in his role, is beginning to worry about his job and is desperate to figure out how to turn things around. With nowhere else to turn, Shay receives some hard-to-swallow advice from the most unlikely and unwanted source--Liam Alcott, CEO of a more successful security company and his most hated opponent.Lencioni uses unexpected plot twists and crisp dialogue to take us on a journey that culminates in a resolution that is as unexpected as it is enlightening. As he does in his other books, he then provides a straightforward summary of the lessons from the fable, combining a clear explanation of his theory with practical advice to help executives examine their true motivation for leading. In addition to provoking readers to honestly assess themselves, Lencioni presents action steps for changing their approach in five key areas. In doing so, he helps leaders avoid the pitfalls that stifle their organizations and even hurt the people they are meant to serve.

You think you have a winning strategy. But do you?Executives are bombarded with bestselling ideas and best practices for achieving competitive advantage, but many of these ideas and practices contradict each other. Should you aim to be big or fast? Should you create a blue ocean, be adaptive, play to win—or forget about a sustainable competitive advantage altogether? In a business environment that is changing faster and becoming more uncertain and complex almost by the day, it’s never been more important—or more difficult—to choose the right approach to strategy.In this book, The Boston Consulting Group’s Martin Reeves, Knut Haanæs, and Janmejaya Sinha offer a proven method to determine the strategy approach that is best for your company. They start by helping you assess your business environment—how unpredictable it is, how much power you have to change it, and how harsh it is—a critical component of getting strategy right. They show how existing strategy approaches sort into five categories—Be Big, Be Fast, Be First, Be the Orchestrator, or simply Be Viable—depending on the extent of predictability, malleability, and harshness. In-depth explanations of each of these approaches will provide critical insight to help you match your approach to strategy to your environment, determine when and how to execute each one, and avoid a potentially fatal mismatch.Addressing your most pressing strategic challenges, you’ll be able to answer questions such as:What replaces planning when the annual cycle is obsolete?When can we—and when should we—shape the game to our advantage?How do we simultaneously implement different strategic approaches for different business units?How do we manage the inherent contradictions in formulating and executing different strategies across multiple businesses and geographies?Until now, no book brings it all together and offers a practical tool for understanding which strategic approach to apply.

Learn to take ownership of your success, overcome self-doubt, and banish the thought patterns that undermine your ability to feel-and act-as bright and capable as others already know you are with this award-winning book by Valerie Young. It's only because they like me. I was in the right place at the right time. I just work harder than the others. I don't deserve this. It's just a matter of time before I am found out. Someone must have made a terrible mistake. If you are a working woman, chances are this inter­nal monologue sounds all too familiar. And you're not alone. From the high-achieving Ph.D. candidate convinced she's only been admitted to the program because of a clerical error to the senior executive who worries others will find out she's in way over her head, a shocking number of accomplished women in all ca­reer paths and at every level feel as though they are faking it-impostors in their own lives and careers. While the impostor syndrome is not unique to women, women are more apt to agonize over tiny mistakes, see even constructive criticism as evi­dence of their shortcomings, and chalk up their accomplishments to luck rather than skill. They often unconsciously overcompensate with crippling perfec­tionism, overpreparation, maintaining a lower pro­file, withholding their talents and opinions, or never finishing important projects. When they do succeed, they think, Phew, I fooled 'em again. An internationally known speaker, Valerie Young has devoted her career to understanding women's most deeply held beliefs about themselves and their success. In her decades of in-the-trenches research, she has uncovered the often surprising reasons why so many accomplished women experience this crushing self-doubt. In The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women, Young gives these women the solution they have been seek­ing. Combining insightful analysis with effective ad­vice and anecdotes, she explains what the impostor syndrome is, why fraud fears are more common in women, and how you can recognize the way it mani­fests in your life.
