Odette Rising
When the dressmakers had gone, she wrapped her arms around herself and squeezed tightly. Their visit had been awful; they had seen her pink and blue flesh, its hairs, dents and ripples. Her poor body, made to endure such scrutiny. But if she were really to go into the world, there was a price to pay. She must offer herself for scorn in order to feed her starving mind and imagination. And if she didn't, she would sit here for what would feel like eternity. She called for tea and eclairs.It's 1896 in Sevres, France and, from her bedroom window, Odette Huré watches a funeral bier carry her father's coffin away. She is twenty-one and she has not left the house for ten years, soothing herself with books and food. Odette's only joy is found in the extravagant menus she dreams up and which the housekeeper reluctantly prepares for her. With the sudden death of her father, the walls she has built around herself begin to crumble. Forced into society, she discovers she is now responsible for a fortune and a stockings factory - renowned for its exquisite designs which adorn the slender ankles of Parisian femmes célebres. Now Odette must try and navigate a world she has hidden from for so long. In doing so she must excavate the secrets her father left behind, face the dark truth about her own identity - and with the help of her unconventional, self-made family, blossom to discover all that she is capable of. Melding a beautifully researched historical setting and sharp portrayal of an unconventional woman fighting against the limitations of her society, Odette Rising is an unforgettable tale of darkness and light, secrets and lies, friendship and betrayal.'Absorbing, stirring and vividly drawn, Odette Rising is a triumph of storytelling' CLARE LESLIE HALL, author of BROKEN COUNTRY'Reads like a subverted fairytale, steeped in wonder and daring . . . Masterful' FLORENCE KNAPP, author of THE NAMES
Shadow Divers
A true adventure in which two amateur scuba divers risk everything to solve a great historical mystery - and make history themselves'This book is a work of art' RYAN HOLIDAY'A pulse-quickening real-life thriller'New York Times 'A memorable story, beautifully told'The TimesFor John Chatterton and Richie Kohler, deep wreck diving was more than a sport. But in 1991, not even these courageous divers were prepared for what they found 230 feet below the surface, in the frigid waters of the Atlantic: a Second World War German U-boat, its ruined interior a macabre wasteland of twisted metal, tangled wires and human bones.No identifying marks were visible. No historian, expert or government had a clue as to which U-boat the men had found, and the official records all agreed that there simply could not be a sunken U-boat and crew there.Over the next six years, an elite team of divers embarked on a quest of increasingly perilous diving and painstaking archival research to solve the mystery. Some of them would not live to see its end. Chatterton and Kohler, at first bitter rivals, would be drawn into a friendship that deepened to an almost mystical sense of brotherhood with each other and with the drowned U-boat sailors – former enemies of their country.Bestselling author Robert Kurson’s account of this quest is thrilling, vivid and emotionally complex. It’s a story of persistence, ingenuity and a shared obsession.

Firemní kultura jako motor úspěchu
Firmy dnes investují miliony do moderních kanceláří a benefitů — a přesto se do práce v pondělí ráno těší jen málokdo. Zaměstnanci jsou vyčerpaní, manažeři frustrovaní a výsledky často stagnují. Kde se stala chyba?
Příliš dlouho jsme se snažili dosáhnout úspěchu přes procesy, strategie a plánování. Jenže reálné výsledky netvoří tabulky, ale lidé — a jejich vnitřní nastavení.
Markéta Černá ve své knize zúročuje více než 25 let zkušeností z vrcholového byznysu a poradenství. Ukazuje, že firemní kultura není jen „měkké téma“ pro HR, ale ten nejvýkonnější motor jakékoliv organizace. Unikátně propojuje svět tvrdého byznysu s poznatky z psychologie, neurobiologie i transakční analýzy, na kterých jednoduše ukazuje principy chování lidí v práci.
Na příkladech z reálné praxe odkrývá skrytou dynamiku pracovních vztahů a nabízí konkrétní nástroj změny: metodiku 4 úrovní zralosti a 10 klíčových aspektů firemní kultury. Na ní lehce pochopíte, proč některé týmy fungují s lehkostí, výkonně a inovativně a jiné se hroutí pod tíhou nevyřčených konfliktů.
Začtěte se a …
pochopíte, co vaši firmu skutečně brzdí,
naučíte se efektivně pracovat s konflikty a hranicemi,
budete umět budovat prostředí, kde lidé chtějí zůstávat, růst a podávat nejlepší výkon.
Ať už vedete firmu, působíte v HR nebo jen nechcete trávit život v toxickém prostředí, tato kniha vám dá konkrétní oporu i směr.
Protože skutečná prosperita – firemní i ta vaše osobní – nezačíná u procesů, ale u zralosti vztahů.
