        Kill the corporation before it kills us

        by David Whyte

        Private, profit making organisations, known as corporations, are threatening to hasten the end of the human species. If this seems like a rather dramatic or exaggerated statement, then this book explains why we have to regard the corporation as the most pressing threat to the future of the planet. In short, we need to take the corporation seriously. The book argues that this means being able to see the corporation for what it is: an illusionary artificial 'person' that real people hide behind. The book uncovers the dual function of the corporation: to protect the interests of a narrow class of elites, and at the same time to mask the processes by which they make money. It further shows the mechanisms it uses to achieve this dual function are now out of control and cannot be controlled. The book develops a new theoretical framework, drawing on a Marxist perspective updated for the 21st century, to illuminate a large number of shocking corporate crimes, and acts of extreme violence that are woven together to build an irresistible conclusion: we have to kill the corporation before it kills us!

        The Leader as Influencer

        Want to lead? First, you need to be followed

        by Barbara Liebermeister

        The trendsetter as role model Managers and influencers have much in common. They are not born, but made – and both are ‘made’ by their followers. We live in a digitalised, globalised world: one in which the role of authority is ever less significant and the importance of networking is growing all the time. The leaders of the future are credible, inspiring and with a knack for eye-level communication: the very same attributes that propel an influencer to success. In the modern business world, the difference between success and failure depends on effective relationship management based on high personal credibility and integrity as a leader. True power results from personality. We need a fresh understanding of leadership based, in turn, on a new conception of human nature itself. We need team spirit. The author shows the mechanisms that make influencers successful and explains how business leaders can implement these in their day-to-day working lives. As the best leaders already know: it is those that can win over their employees as individuals that will truly reap the rewards long-term. Influencer success strategies applied to everyday business  Concrete practical tips for leaders Examples from a variety of national and international organisations Barbara Liebermeister is an economist by education and a management consultant and keynote speaker by trade. After beginning her career in marketing and sales for international corporations such as Christian Dior, L‘OREAL and Hoechst, she went on to lead pro-jects for the Royal Bank of Scotland, Deutsche Bank, Merck, Fidelity International and many more. Liebermeister is the founder and head of the Insti-tute for Leadership Culture in a Digital Age (IFIDZ) in Frankfurt, which researches the challenges faced by companies’ management cultures in an environ-ment characterised by rapid technological and social change. It develops strategies, methods and tools to impart the skills required by future managers and in-crease their effectiveness within their organisations

        Liderazgo centrado en la persona

        La propuesta de Carlos Llano

        by Murcio Rodríguez, Ricardo

        La tarea de dirigir tiene un lugar preponderante en la empresa. Carlos Llano fue pionero en el estudio de la acción directiva, en un contexto que ya buscaba una renovación en las teorías del management. Para Llano, la dirección de empresas –y, por lo tanto, de las personas que en ellas laboran– no puede reducirse a un sistema, sino que debe respetar la naturaleza física, espiritual, racional y libre de todo ser humano. Con robustas bases antropológicas, Llano plantea un nuevo modelo de gestión basado en la flexibilidad y la participación, que hace de la empresa un lugar de desarrollo de la persona que contribuye a la construcción de una mejor sociedad. Llano vislumbró que este nuevo paradigma requiere un nuevo estilo de liderazgo, uno que –centrado en la persona– concibe la dirección como un servicio. Este libro rastrea los fundamentos teóricos de su propuesta. Carlos Llano ha sido el pensador que mejor ha sabido integrar filosofía y management. A través de los conceptos perennes de la filosofía, nos ofreció una perspectiva única y genuina de la dirección de empresas. En este libro, Ricardo Murcio nos desmenuza el pensamiento de su profesor y maestro, y nos vuelve a recordar que el centro de la actividad empresarial y de la toma de decisiones deben ser las personas (Joan Fontrodona, IESE Business School).

        The Behaviorally Informed Organization

        by Dilip Soman, Catherine Yeung

        Every organization is fundamentally in the business of behavior change. Whether it be a government trying to get business to comply with environmental regulation, a business trying to get its customers to be loyal to their products, or a financial advisor encouraging a client to start saving for retirement, behavior change is critical to organizational success. Despite its centrality to organizations, we do not have a good scientific framework for behavior change or a good understanding of how organizations can embed insights from behavioral science into their operations. To overcome this void, this book develops an overarching framework for using behavioral science. It shows how behavioral insights (BI) can be embedded in organizations to achieve better outcomes, improve the efficiency of processes, and maximize stakeholder engagement. This edited volume will provide an enterprise-wide strategic perspective of how governments, businesses, and other organizations have embedded BI into their operations. It is based on research by academics and practitioners from the Behaviourally Informed Organizations Partnership and will highlight ideas, pragmatic frameworks, and prescriptive outcomes, based on illustrative case studies. Featuring a foreword by Cass Sunstein, this book investigates key findings from BI, with an eye toward how it can be used to solve problems and seize opportunities in diverse organizations.
