Named one of 10 Best New Management Books for 2022 by Thinkers50 A Wall Street Journal Bestseller "...this guide provides readers with much more than just early careers advice; it can help everyone from interns to CEOs." — a Financial Times top title You've landed a job. Now what? No one tells you how to navigate your first day in a new role. No one tells you how to take ownership, manage expectations, or handle workplace politics.

Estas canales recorridas por palabras como lluvia o que se atascan como hojas secas que se convierten en madrigueras o esas cenizas como polvo arrastrado por las carreteras... estos poemas nos enfrentan a lo cotidiano. Aquí veremos la levedad de una vida: aquello que se nos escapa como espectadores de la muerte, que se nos convierte en perorata, en cháchara, en abandono existencial que, de a pocos, se refugia en las noticias, en los eventos deportivos vistos en televisión que, como parte del encierro, nos hacen pensar en un afuera, a veces promesa utópica, a veces crueldad descarnada. Un mundo de mensajes perdidos en autopistas informáticas que nos van llenando de ausencias hasta enfermarnos, hasta obligarnos a aceptar una soledad que no desaparece ni siquiera en las calles de las ciudades y su bullicio. Sin embargo, estas urbes nos enseñan sobre un miedo que se convierte en desprecio, que luego se convertirá en desapego. Un desapego que nos permitirá tomar una carretera, una línea de fuga que nos habrá dejado salir de nosotros mismos.

The second edition of Management by Missions is an open access book based on substantially more research carried out over fifteen years, involving more than 200 organizations around the world. All of this resear...
