Influence at Work


'Outstanding...This book is superb.' Robert B Cialdini, bestselling author of Influence To be successful at work you also need to be influential at work. And to be influential requires an understanding of how the rules of influence work. Not just those mandated by logic, economics and company policy. But the unspoken rules too. The rules people rarely talk about, but that frequently have an out-sized impact on who and what gets listened to and done, and who and what gets ignored. Recognising and navigating these rules of influence is crucial to your persuasive success. Influence at Work shows you what these rules are and how to effectively deploy them to command attention; connect with others; win over the sceptics; sway the undecided and motivate people to act. The result is a new guide to an age-old subject: what influence is, why it matters, and how to use it wisely and ethically.

The Corporation in the Twenty-First Century


A radical reappraisal of the nature and activities of business - what it is for and how it works For generations, we have defined a corporation as a business run by a capitalist elite, that uses its accumulated wealth to own the means of production and exercise economic power. That is no longer the reality. In the twenty-first century, our most desired goods and services aren't stacked in warehouses or on container ships: they appear on your screen, fit in your pocket or occupy your head. But even as we consume more than ever before, big business faces a crisis of legitimacy. The pharmaceutical industry creates life-saving vaccines but has lost the trust of the public. The widening pay gap between executives and employees is destabilising our societies. Facebook and Google have more customers than any companies in history but are widely reviled. John Kay, one of the greatest economists of our time, describes how the pursuit of shareholder value has destroyed some of the leading companies of the twentieth century. Incisive and provocative, this book redefines successful commercial activity and leadership, the knowledge economy and what the future of the modern corporation might be.

No Rules Rules


It's time to do things differently. Trust your team. Be radically honest. And never, ever try to please your boss. These are some of the ground rules if you work at Netflix. They are part of a unique cultural experiment that explains how the company has transformed itself at lightning speed from a DVD mail order service into a streaming superpower - with 190 million fervent subscribers and a market capitalisation that rivals the likes of Disney. Finally Reed Hastings, Netflix Chairman and CEO, is sharing the secrets that have revolutionised the entertainment and tech industries. With INSEAD business school professor Erin Meyer, he will explore his leadership philosophy - which begins by rejecting the accepted beliefs under which most companies operate - and how it plays out in practice at Netflix. From unlimited holidays to abolishing approvals, Netflix offers a fundamentally different way to run any organisation, one far more in tune with an ever-changing fast-paced world. For anyone interested in creativity, productivity and innovation, the Netflix culture is something close to a holy grail. This book will make it, and its creator, fully accessible for the first time.

Why Politicians Lie About Trade


Why Politicians Lie About Trade - and What You Need to Know About It is your clear, witty crash-course in how global trade really works - and how leaders weaponise it to win votes, wage culture wars and spin economic fairy tales. Written by former trade negotiator Dmitry Grozoubinski, this smart, highly readable book explains trade policy, not trade economics - no graphs, no jargon, just sharp stories, plain English and a built-in "bullshit detector" for every grand promise about tariffs, trade deals and jobs. What this book shows you: Across two parts - How Trade Works and Trade and the Things You Actually Care About - you'll discover: • How modern trade policy works in practice - from goods trade and services trade to customs unions, single markets, free trade agreements (FTAs), trade facilitation and the World Trade Organization (WTO). • Why protectionism is so tempting - and how tariffs, quotas, sanctions, trade embargoes and "keeping out foreign junk" are sold as painless fixes, even when they quietly destroy jobs, growth and innovation. • What "trading on WTO terms" really means - and why it's usually code for accepting the bare-minimum market access on the same terms as the country your partners trust least. • How trade agreements are really negotiated - secrecy, leaks, horse-trading, rules of origin, regulatory standards, dispute settlement and why no deal is ever truly "win-win for everyone". • Trade and jobs - how trade policy is endlessly blamed or praised for employment figures, how politicians on all sides massage the numbers, and why press releases about "hundreds of thousands of jobs created" should make you sceptical. • Trade and national security, climate change and peace - from sanctions and export controls to green trade rules, economic interdependence and "trade for peace". Along the way, Grozoubinski dissects Trump, Brexit, trade wars, culture-war soundbites, populist protectionism and media myths that turn complex tradeoffs into easy slogans.

The Problem With Change


Change and innovation are the cornerstones of dynamic and modern business. Or so we are told. Whether it’s a merger or re-org; a new process, policy, or IT “solution”; or reconfiguring the office layout, change has become the ultimate easy button for leaders, who pursue it with abandon and thereby unleash an endless torrent of disruption on employees. The result is life in the blender: a perpetual state of upheaval, uncertainty, and unease. Yes, companies need to grow, innovate, and adapt to changing needs. But stressed-out employees rarely go the extra mile, chaos rarely produces agility or speed, and it’s hard innovate or grow while bleeding talent to turnover and quiet quitting. This is how change stymies the very progress that it seeks. Drawing on decades spent leading HR operations at Deloitte and Cisco, Ashley Goodall explores the essential nature of human performance and offers a radical new alternative to the constant turbulence that defines corporate life. By prioritizing team cohesion (instead of reshuffling teams at will), by communicating in real words (rather than corporate speak), by striving for predictability (instead of charisma), by honoring shared rituals (instead of corporately-mandated bonding), by fixing only the things that are truly broken (instead of moving fast and breaking everything in sight) and more, leaders at every level can create environments that allow people to do the best work of their lives.

The Everything War


From veteran Amazon reporter for the Wall Street Journal, The Everything War is a searing expose of Amazon's endless strategic greed, from destroying competition to remaking corporate power, in pursuit of total domination, by any means necessary. From veteran Amazon reporter for The Wall Street Journal, The Everything War is the first untold, devastating expose of Amazon's endless strategic greed, its pursuit of total domination, by any means necessary, and the growing efforts to stop it. For over twenty years, Amazon was the quintessential American success story, whilst its "customer obsession" approach made it indelibly attractive to consumers across the globe. But the company was not benevolent; it operated in ways that ensured it stayed on top, coming to dominate over a dozen industries beyond retail, growing voraciously by abusing data, exploiting partners, copying competitors, and avoiding taxes-leveraging its power to extract whatever it could, at any cost and without much scrutiny. Until now. With unparalleled access, and having interviewed hundreds of people - from Amazon executives to competitors to small businesses who rely on its marketplace to survive - Dana Mattioli exposes how Amazon was driven by a competitive edge to dominate every industry it entered, bulldozed all who stood in its way, reshaped the retail landscape, transformed how Wall Street evaluates companies, and altered the very nature of the global economy. In 2023, the Federal Trade Commission filed a monopoly lawsuit against Amazon in what may become one of the largest antitrust cases in the 21st century. As Amazon's supremacy is finally challenged, The Everything War is the definitive, inside story of how it grew into one of the most powerful and feared companies in the world - and why this is the most consequential business story of our times.

The Dip

Every new project (or job, or hobby, or company) starts out fun . . .then gets really hard, and not much fun at all. You might be in a Dip – a temporary setback that will get better if you keep pushing. But maybe it’s really a Cul-de-Sac – a total dead end. What really sets superstars apart is the ability to tell the two apart. Winners seek out the Dip. They realize that the bigger the barrier, the bigger the reward for getting past it. If you can beat the Dip to be the best, you’ll earn profits, glory and long-term security. Whether you’re an intern or a CEO, this fun little book will help you figure out if you’re in a Dip that’s worthy of your time, effort and talents.

How Big Things Get Done


Best Books of 2023 – The Financial Times and The Economist Shortlisted for Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year 2023 World expert Bent Flyvbjerg and bestselling author Dan Gardner reveal the secrets to successfully planning and delivering ambitious projects on any scale. Nothing is more inspiring than a big vision that becomes a triumphant new reality. Think of how Apple’s iPod went from a project with a single employee to an enormously successful product launch in eleven months. But such successes are the exception. Consider how London’s Crossrail project delivered five years late and billions over budget. More modest endeavours, whether launching a small business, organizing a conference, or just finishing a work project on time, also commonly fail. Why? Understanding what distinguishes the triumphs from the failures has been the life’s work of Oxford professor Bent Flyvbjerg. In How Big Things Get Done, he identifies the errors that lead projects to fail, and the research-based principles that will make yours succeed: - Understand your odds. If you don’t know them, you won’t win. - Plan slow, act fast. Getting to the action quick feels right. But it’s wrong. - Think right to left. Start with your goal, then identify the steps to get there. - Find your Lego. Big is best built from small. - Master the unknown unknowns. Most think they can’t, so they fail. Flyvbjerg shows how you can. Full of vivid examples ranging from the building of the Sydney Opera House to the making of the latest Pixar blockbusters, How Big Things Get Done reveals how to get any ambitious project done – on time and on budget.

Mi a közös a dalszövegírásban és az üzleti kommunikációban? Miért tilos a PowerPoint használata az Amazon felső vezetői értekezletein?

A vállalat egykori vezetőivel folytatott beszélgetései alapján azt is bemutatja, milyen kommunikációs trükköket lestek el főnöküktől az Amazon korábbi dolgozói, és hogyan vetették be őket saját vállalkozásaik felvirágoztatásához. Gallo szemléletes példáit és praktikus tanácsait követve elsajátíthatjuk, hogyan tálalhatunk érthetően komplex adatokat, és miképp foglalhatjuk lelkesítő narratívába mondanivalónkat.
