Leadership the Sven-Göran Eriksson Way examines the leadership style of the England football manager Sven-Göran Eriksson. Our argument is that Eriksson’s approach is important because it brilliantly exemplifies a new leadership which defies conventional and historical stereotypes of how leaders think and behave. Eriksson is a not a tub-thumping bellower of orders. He is no dictator. Instead, he is a modern leadership archetype, a leader we can all learn from. From Leadership the Sven-Göran Eriksson Way "This book does have an important message... Sven and Richard Branson are the future... the Scandinavian business model is something we should try to copy". Lucy Kellaway, The Financial Times "I very much enjoyed it and in particular the way it gelled good business management principles with their application to football as illustrated by many of the policy decisions taken by our national coach who inside 12 months has brought cofidence, assurance, team spirit and a more worldwide awareness to our England team giving everybody optimism…" Gordon Taylor, Chairman of the PFA (Professional Footballers Association)

What you say or don't say in a conversation can have life-defining consequences on ourselves and those around us. Speak Up helps you to navigate power differences so you can speak up with confidence and enable others to find their voice in a way that will be heard. Our day-to-day conversations define how we see ourselves and how we're seen. The choices we make about what to say and who to say it to are decisive factors in whether we get promoted, or side-lined. Whether we steer clear of trouble, or find ourselves in it up to our necks. With daily scandals hitting the headlines and the continuous need to innovate to survive, creating a more honest, open, fulfilling and productive workplace has never been more pressing. Our conversational choices harness the ideas and intelligence of the people we work with, or result in that revolutionary concept never seeing the light of day. They make us feel proud or ashamed of ourselves for what we have or have not said. They cause us to flourish and feel motivated, or result in us feeling dissatisfied and resentful. Speak Up helps you to navigate power differences and speak up with confidence in a way that you will be heard. But it's no good speaking up if there isn't anyone listening so we also help you to understand how your power enables others to speak up and how it might silence them.-Publisher's description

Deset tajemství jednoho z největších králů světového obratu. Tato kniha se snaží podávat objektivní pohled na obchodní praxi a myšlení některých podnikových velikánů. Co je odlišuje? V čem jsou dobří? Jak uvidíte, tyto lekce nejsou žádnou nedostupnou vědou. Manažerství je spíše věda do kapsy. Teorie je pro ty, kteří na ni mají čas. Nejlepší nápady si přisvojujte, protože jediná, všezahrnující idea neexistuje.

Was hat Benjamin Franklin mit Headhuntern gemeinsam? Wie kam William Wrigley von Seife über Backpulver zu Kaugummi? Wem hat es Mickey Maus zu verdanken, dass sie heute nicht den Namen Mortimer trägt? Und welche internationale Konferenz im Juni 1984 in Paris führte zu den Olympischen Spielen der Neuzeit?§Neugierig geworden? Stuart Crainer gibt Antwort auf diese und weitere, teils unglaubliche Geschichten von spektakultären Managemententscheidungen, die zugleich bahnbrechend, weichenstellend und mutig waren und den Lauf der Welt verändert haben.§Einige Entscheidungen sind bekannt, andere weniger, aber nicht minder verblüffend. Und ob sie immer richtig und unübertroffen gut waren, darüber lässt sich spekulieren. Die Episoden vermitteln viel von der Spannung, die hinter verschlossenen Türen herrscht, wenn Entscheidungen anstehen, die das Schicksal der Firma besiegeln.

Der Atlas des Management lädt getreu der Idee serious play dazu ein, jenseits von Routine-Besprechungen gewohnte Problemstellungen neu anzugehen - zu experimentieren, erkunden und Ideen zu entwickeln. Ob Konzernmulti oder Ein-Mann-Unternehmen - im Business geht es immer darum, die Antworten auf einige ganz einfache Fragen zu finden: Wie kann ich mit meinem Produkt Geld verdienen? Wie kann ich meine Mitarbeiter zu Höchstleistungen anspornen? Aber die Antworten auf diese einfachen Fragen sind nicht so leicht zu finden. Oft bewegt man sich auf unbekanntem Terrain, wenn es darum geht · Märkte zu erobern · Konkurrenten zu lokalisieren · Strategische Ausrichtung zu finden · Verkaufshindernisse zu umgehen · Nach Kreativität zu schürfen · Arbeitsfelder zu analysieren Zahlreiche Fallbeispiele zeigen, wie sich Managementaufgaben in Landkarten darstellen lassen und welche Exkursionen von bekannten Managern und Unternehmen schon erfolgreich geführt wurden.

Kniha nepřináší žádná "rychlá" řešení, žádné "osvědčené" recepty a "zázračné" léky na všechny neduhy manažerské praxe. Jsou-li ovšem klíčové koncepce, o nichž hovoří, správně pochopeny a ve správný čas a ve vhodném prostředí dovedně aplikovány, mohou překlenout onu příslovečnou propast mezi teorií a praxí. Tyto zásadní myšlenkové koncepce jsou v knize přehledně uspořádány do devíti základních tematických okruhů: * Nový svět managementu * Nový svět organizací * Tvorba a realizace strategie * Nové způsoby řízení lidí * Revoluce jakosti * Nové pojetí marketingu * Vedení lidí a vůdčí schopnosti * Učení a další vzdělávání * Globální management
