A brain-based approach that blends the engagement managers want with the energy employees need.
Today's leaders and managers have to operate in an environment characterized by complexity. What does coping with this ever- and faster-increasing degree of complexity require of them? It means that if they are to deal successfully with all the challenges they need to reconsider their leadership approaches. Leading in Hyper-Complexity is dedicated to all experienced managers and leaders who lead across space and time while simultaneously operating in 'conventional' structures. It takes a closer look at how to lead, and how to navigate in today's complex and sometimes unpredictable business environment. Anyone experienced in tackling today's complexity will know that you cannot expect to find easy-to-follow recipes for success. But we are not powerless, as is shown by the ten in-depth interviews with top managers from different cultures featured in this book.
A flipping point in the trend for adopting absurd management ideas needs to be reached. Management needs deprogramming. This book of 200, tweet-sized, vignettes, looks at the other side of things - flipping the coin.

Understanding how social, behavioural infection works is the basis for the orchestration of any social 'epidemic of success'. This book will appeal to anybody interested in social change, with particular emphasis on how viral change works inside and organisation.

En su primer libro, Lidera con sentido del humor, el autor defendía el humor como la habilidad más infravalorada en el entorno profesional. Explicaba sus beneficios en distintos ámbitos (la comunicación, la creatividad, la gestión del estrés y la del conflicto) y enseñaba cómo usar el humor con eficacia en el trabajo.

Los líderes de estas organizaciones han combinado dos elementos que parecían excluyentes, diversión y trabajo, y los han convertido en atributo de marca diferencial a la hora de atraer y retener el recurso más escaso: el talento.
Camino, Spanish for road, reflects on leadership as a praxis that continuously evolves. Becoming one is the real quest. The only real theory of leadership is travelling. The only footprints, our actions. The only test, what we leave behind.
'An excellent and intelligent investigation of the realities of urban living that respond to no design or directive... This is a book about the nature of London itself' Peter Ackroyd, The Times A powerful exploration of the seedy side of Victorian London by one of our most promising young historians.
