Named one of the Financial Times' BEST BUSINESS BOOKS OF 2022<BR><BR> What has changed in the workplace? Everything.<BR><BR> The traditional office was probably doomed anyway. Then a global shutdown changed everything we thought we knew about work, including where and when it needed to take place.

In The Nowhere Office, Julia Hobsbawm offers a strategic and practical guide to navigating this pivotal moment in the history of work and provides lessons for how both employees and employers can adapt.<BR><BR> Hobsbawm draws on her extensive networks in business, academia, and entrepreneurship across  generations to offer new ideas about how to handle hybrid working, as well as provides deep insight into how the way we work is being transformed by larger issues such as community, hierarchy, bias, identity, and security. The Nowhere Office describes a unique moment in the history of work which, if understood and handled correctly, can provide a springboard for the biggest transformational change in the workplace for a century: something better, more meaningful, and more workable for everyone.

This is the wake-up call that exposes leadership's biggest lies...and dares you to evolve before you're left behind. It's Time to Lead Different - A Guide for Trailblazers of Revolutionary Leadership is written to challenge conventional thinking and provoke purposeful leadership. The World Has Changed (And Leadership Hasn't). What used to work no longer works. The playbook you inherited built yesterday's companies. It cannot build tomorrows. The old model is collapsing under its own weight. Most leaders are too exhausted, overwhelmed, or buried in busyness to admit it. The world has changed. Now you must. Let's be clear about this book. This is not about improving what we call leadership. It's about replacing it. And once you see why, there's no going back.

For business success, organizations need engaged employees working in high-performing teams. HR's transformation into a progressive people and culture function means that it can co-create a workplace culture which is fair, just, kind, inclusive, sustainable and high performing.

Full of engaging real-world examples and practical advice, People and Culture provides practitioners with everything they need to optimize their organizational culture so people will flourish, teams will thrive and the organization will prosper. This includes guidance on aligning purpose, values, strategy, process and behaviours as well as dedicated support on systems thinking, emotional intelligence and communication skills. This book also explains how to align the EVP (Employee Value Proposition) with company culture and shows how HR and leaders can unlock the social, strategic, stakeholder and shareholder value of this people and culture approach. The final part of the book features a playbook which includes a framework for undertaking a cultural audit and the tools needed to resolve toxic behaviours and cultures.

Ein Buch für alle, die sich verantwortlich für andere fühlenEs sollte mittlerweile selbstverständlich sein, dass wir Arbeit so gestalten, dass sie uns gut tut - egal ob wir führen oder mitarbeiten.

Sogar diejenigen, die etwas Neues wagen, die menschenzentriert, nachhaltig und wirksam arbeiten wollen, kommen immer wieder an ihre Grenzen.

From New York Times bestselling author and pioneer of the strengths movement comes a bold new blueprint for leading with the most powerful force in business--love.Think about the last time you said, "I love that." Maybe it was about a product that exceeded expectations, a service experience that built instant loyalty, or a moment when your work brought out the best in you. That reaction isn't just emotional--it's electric. In the organization, it fuels engagement, strengthens performance, and drives lasting success. Yet most leaders don't even acknowledge it, let alone measure or make use of it.In Design Love In, leading researcher on human performance and bestselling author Marcus Buckingham reveals how love--the deep connection that makes people feel seen, valued, and inspired--isn't just a soft feeling. It's a measurable driver of performance and growth. He shows how leaders, as experience-makers, can intentionally "design love in" to everything we do: our interactions with team members, our company policies and practices, the products and services and experiences we create for those we lead and serve. When we do this, we not only unlock deeper commitment, higher engagement, stronger customer loyalty, and lasting business results, we strengthen the human connection between us and create a better world.Featuring vivid stories of global brands, current research, and personal experiences, Buckingham illustrates that tapping into this force is not simply about being more "warm and fuzzy"--it's a concrete strategy of utilizing loving experiences to drive behaviors to drive outcomes, and the book provides step-by-step advice on how to "design love in" to all your actions as a leader.Love--it's the most powerful force in business. This book shows how you as a leader can unleash it.

Our future is being dismantled in real time. Ecological collapse, climate breakdown, rising inequalities - and at the heart of it all: business as usual.

You need a strategy - and the courage to act. This book will help you find both.
