Design leadership at scale requires leaders who design the design function, establish a thriving environment for the creative team, and shape the design organization to drive progress, advance innovation, and enhance meaningful customer experiences. To examine the foundations of successful design leadership, the authors performed extensive in-depth interviews with design leaders working for Fortune 500 organizations across industries. Based on these insights, Design Leadership Ignited delineates a pathway to design excellence, which includes establishing a forward-looking strategy and an adequate organizational structure for the design function, empowering the design team, and scaling the impact of design across the entire organization. This book takes the position that a core challenge in the journey towards design excellence is the need to recognize and balance the often-contradictory objectives and activities that design leaders encounter. Combining their practitioner experience and research, the authors provide a framework to embrace the complexity of design leadership that will elevate design at scale.

En slående og velskrevet oppfølger til Sannheten på bordet - det du ikke får vite om maten dinVann, kaffe, melk og brus - vi drikker mange liter i året. Men hva er det egentlig vi drikker?Niels Christian Geelmuyden er tilbake med nye avsløringer. Denne gang tar han for seg flytende føde: vann, melk, saft, brus, kaffe, te, øl og vin. Han har gått i hælene på produsentene, leverandørene og ikke minst etatene som skal passe på at vi unngår det som er skadelig for oss. Vi tror på leverandørens merking og håper vi blir passet på av myndighetene. Slik er det dessverre ikke alltid. Her får vi vite den viktige sannheten! Niels Christian Geelmuyden avslører matindustriens metoder og råvarenes virkelige innhold. Nå vet han hvor han finner de ekte, naturlige drikkene uten sminke, juks og helsefarlige tilsetninger. De som blir produsert med lite miljøbelastning og god dyrevelferd. Den kunnskapen deler han med leseren i denne velskrevne, veldokumenterte og viktige boka.

«Lederskap er ansvaret du bærer på alles vegne. Et ansvar som er tungt å bære når noen aldri kommer hjem, eller du må ta konsekvensen av at det gikk galt på din vakt.»Robert Mood deler sine erfaringer fra lederstillinger i inn og utland. Han skriver om et forsvar som ikke først og fremst er fly, fartøy, kjøretøy og våpen, men mennesker, kompetanse og verdier. Mood tar leseren med til tjenesten i Nord-Norge under den kalde krigen, til erfaringer med Telemark Bataljon i Kosovo, reiser i Afghanistan og oppdrag på bakken for FN i Midtøsten og Syria. Norske soldater er hjemme igjen etter operasjoner i utlandet, og Mood tar lærdommen fra Forsvaret med seg tilbake til Norge. Han hevder vi har verdens beste utgangspunkt for fremtiden, men han beskriver også en kaotisk verden med svekkede overnasjonale institusjoner og svakt politisk lederskap i møte med vår tids store spørsmål. Tar våre ledere ansvar for at vi har den helhetlige beredskapen og det forsvaret vi trenger i en usikker framtid? Eller er de mer opptatt av en politisk popularitetskonkurranse enn å utøve sitt ansvar for fellesskapet?

Billion or Bust! .....Surprise Bestseller! As president and then CEO of cloud provider Rackspace, Lanham Napier grew the company from $5 million to over $1 billion in revenues and $5 billion in market value while creating thousands of jobs. Under his leadership, especially growing its trademarked, high-quality customer service, Fanatical Support, Rackspace gained thousands of customers and industry dominance. A lifelong Texan, Lanham grew the company in his home state, overseeing the development of phenomenal new headquarters (a converted mall) in San Antonio and leading the company's IPO. Further, he obsessed over how to increase employee engagement, and he exuberantly succeeded in his goal. But, when Microsoft, Amazon, and Google entered the industry in force, everything changed . . . including Lanham's relationship with Rackspace executives and the company's board of directors. Lanham believed he had three options for leading the Rackspace response to the intense competition. But in fact, the board showed him that there was a fourth option (a very challenging option at that), which he had never even considered. Readers love the authenticity of this book and made it a bestseller for coaching and mentoring and for business management.
