Sheryl Sandbergová Knihy

Výnimočná kniha o tom, ako neprispôsobiví hýbu svetom. Autor medzinárodného bestselleru Dávať a brať a najmladší profesor na prestížnej škole podnikania vyvracia mýtus, že najúspešnejší podnikatelia sú rodení vodcovia, ktorí sa bezhlavo vrhajú do rizika. Čitateľom ukáže, ako môže ktokoľvek rozoznať dobrý nápad, úspešne prezentovať svoj návrh na zlepšenie a identifikovať príležitosti na zmenu. Inšpirujte sa úspešným podnikateľom, ktorý vo svojich prezentáciách zdôrazňuje, prečo by potenciálni záujemcovia nemali investovať do jeho podniku, zamestnankyňou Apple, ktorá sa postavila Stevovi Jobsovi, miliardárom, ktorý vyhadzuje zamestnancov za neschopnosť kritiky, a manažérom, ktorý zachránil seriál Seinfeld. Kniha poskytuje cenné rady a dodáva odvahu bojovať za svoje nápady a zlepšiť svet okolo seba. V mnohých podnikoch prevláda kultúra, ktorá si necení nápaditého ducha. Riaditelia uprednostňujú výkonných pracovníkov, ktorí sa prispôsobujú a nepredkladajú vlastné „zlepšováky“. Pritom sú to práve neprispôsobiví jedinci, ktorí svojou originalitou a bojom za inovatívne zmeny dodávajú ekonomike impulzy. Renomovaný psychológ Adam Grant ukazuje, ktorí ľudia sú najoriginálnejší a ako môže ktokoľvek nájsť správnu motiváciu, získať spojencov a zvoliť si správny čas konať. Ideálne čítanie pre všetkých, ktorí túžia presadiť svoje nápady a dosiahnuť úspech.

From Facebook's COO and a top-rated Wharton professor comes a powerful, inspiring, and practical guide on building resilience after life's inevitable setbacks. Following the sudden death of her husband, Sheryl Sandberg found herself engulfed in grief, feeling that joy would never return. She describes this experience as being in "the void," a profound emptiness that hinders thought and breath. Her friend, psychologist Adam Grant, introduced her to concrete steps for recovery, emphasizing that resilience can be developed like a muscle. This book intertwines Sheryl's personal journey with Adam's research on overcoming adversity. It begins with the heart-wrenching moment of her husband's collapse and delves into her feelings of isolation and sorrow. However, it also highlights stories of various individuals who have triumphed over hardships such as illness, job loss, and natural disasters, showcasing the human spirit's capacity to persevere and rediscover joy. Resilience stems both from within and from external support. Even after devastating events, it's possible to grow by finding deeper meaning in life. The book offers insights on helping others in crisis, fostering self-compassion, raising strong children, and building resilient communities. Ultimately, it encourages us to embrace the challenges of life, as we all face our own versions of "Option B."
