When lockdown first hit, I felt prompted to go on a world tour... a virtual journey through thirteen stories about dreaming, daring, and doing. My tour guides? Women entrepreneurs and leaders I hadn't met yet. They live and work on four of the world's five inhabited continents. We differ in how old we are, where we come from, and what we do. But there's a surprising amount we have in common: We understand each other's dreams. We all have the courage to dare and to do, despite the barriers - large or small - that our environment throws at us or that we even create ourselves. To encourage dreamers to take action, to let the darers do their thing, and to get the doers dreaming: That's the mission of this book, my mission. THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS BOOK WILL GO TO WOMEN IN TECH, A GLOBAL NONPROFIT INITIATIVE THAT AIMS TO MAKE FIVE MILLION GIRLS AND WOMEN MORE DIGITALLY LITERATE BY 2030.
The attainment of a transparent heart and mind is the goal of both Christian spirituality and Zen Buddhism. In this book, the author, an Abbot who has practised Zen for more than 20 years, shows how to enrich the Christian prayer life by the integration of techniques from the tradition of Zazen.
After the worldwide success of The World Book of Happiness and The World Book of Love, author Leo Bormans has spent two years studying the scientific research on hope and meeting the most prominent experts in the field. Hope is not a luxury of the privileged few. It represents a universal psychological resource that can be found in all corners of the world. Hope is all of this: a tool for envisioning definable goals, a coping resource, an expression of trust and openness as well as a spiritual gift earned by faith or ritual. In the course of a lifetime every individual is apt to experience these different shades of hope. The World Book of Hope is an inspiring quest to the breadth and depth o...

Managing for Performance Excellence provides practitioners with an integrative framework that highlights the key ingredients of an effective approach to performance management. It describes the formal process of planning, measuring and monitoring performance that companies need to develop as the first step towards becoming a highperforming organisation. As the numerous examples show, a well-functioning process by itself does not guarantee enduring success. Based on an in-depth analysis of real-life situations, the authors draw attention to potential pitfalls and highlight four concrete performance management challenges that companies need to address: clear strategic focus; engaging climate; collaborative structure; and solid information infrastructure. Performance management is examined from a number of different perspectives, with ample illustrations and practical guidelines against which readers can benchmark their own organisations. These insights are a product of the multidisciplinary pool of expertise present at Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School; a school renowned for its successful mix of academic knowledge and business relevance.
All too often the digital revolution is depicted as a global nightmare: companies are shut down, jobs are cut, and the future is looking grim. Others try to take action and are bracing themselves for the giant disruption that is looming around the corner. In his thought-provoking book, Thierry Geerts proposes to replace the word 'disruption' with 'reinvention'. Take the car, for instance. The way we have been driving around for the past 50 years no longer has a future: we are constantly stuck in traffic, thousands of people die each year as a result of road traffic accidents, and cars are major contributors to air pollution. Electric, self-driving cars offer a safer and more efficient soluti...
