Radikálnu otvorenosť si osvojili lídri po celom svete v spoločnostiach všetkých veľkostí. Stal sa z nej kultúrny fenomén, ktorý nachádza uplatnenie v širokom spektre ľudských vzťahov. Pritom je to jednoduché: Nemusíte sa rozhodovať medzi aroganciou a submisívnosťou. Radikálna otvorenosť – teda nie bezočivá agresivita, manipulatívna falošnosť ani zhubná empatia – vás naučí vyjadrovať sa zdvorilo a zároveň jednoznačne. Základom radikálnej otvorenosti je osobný záujem a priama konfrontácia. Zistíte, ako si vypýtať kritiku, aby ste boli lepší manažéri, aj ako dať druhým spätnú väzbu, ktorá im pomôže rásť. Pochopíte, že je dôležité chváliť, no aj kritizovať, ak treba – iba tak budete mať radi svoju prácu a ľudí, s ktorými pracujete. Vďaka radikálne otvoreným vzťahom s členmi tímu sú šéfovia schopní plniť tri svoje kľúčové povinnosti: Vytvoriť kultúru empatickej otvorenosti Vybudovať súdržný tím Dosahovať výsledky spoluprácou všetkých Kim Scottová bola úspešnou líderkou v Googli, keď sa rozhodla odísť do Applu, kde pripravila a viedla kurz manažmentu.

'Powerful and perceptive . . . belongs on the shelves - and in the hearts and minds - of leaders everywhere' - Daniel H. Pink, bestselling author of To Sell is Human From Kim Scott, author of the revolutionary New York Times bestseller Radical Candor, comes Just Work: How to Confront Bias, Prejudice and Bullying to Build a Culture of Inclusivity - that will help you recognize, attack and eliminate workplace injustice - and transform our careers and organizations in the process.

Not only is this immoral and unjust, it's bad for business. Just Work is the solution. Just Work by Kim Scott reveals a practical framework for both respecting everyone's individuality and collaborating effectively. This is the essential guide leaders and their employees need to create more just workplaces and establish new norms of collaboration and respect.

Taboo takes place in the present day, in the rural South-West of Western Australia, and tells the story of a group of Noongar people who revisit, for the first time in many decades, a taboo place: the site of a massacre that followed the assassination, by these Noongar's descendants, of a white man who had stolen a black woman. They come at the invitation of Dan Horton, the elderly owner of the farm on which the massacres unfolded. He hopes that by hosting the group he will satisfy his wife's dying wishes and cleanse some moral stain from the ground on which he and his family have lived for generations. But the sins of the past will not be so easily expunged. We walk with the ragtag group through this taboo country and note in them glimmers of re-connection with language, lore, country. We learn alongside them how countless generations of Noongar may have lived in ideal rapport with the land. Taboo won four literary awards, was longlisted for four and shortlisted for three more. It is a novel of survival and renewal, as much as destruction; and, ultimately, of hope as much as despair

Oceanic in its rhythms and understanding, brilliant in its use of language and image, moving in its largeness of spirit, compelling in its narrative scope and style, this intriguing journey is a celebration and lament—of beginning and return, of obliteration and recovery, of silencing, and of powerful utterance. Both tentative and daring, it speaks to the present and a possible future through stories, dreams, rhythms, songs, images and documents mobilized from the incompletely acknowledged and still dynamic past.

Jak wykorzystać szczerość w bezpośredniej konfrontacji, by pomóc zespołowi w osiągnięciu wspaniałych rezultatów. Odkąd nauczyliśmy się mówić, powtarza się nam, że jeśli nie mamy nic miłego do powiedzenia, to lepiej wcale nie otwierać ust. Gdy jednak zostajesz się menedżerem, mówienie staje się twoją pracą i obowiązkiem.
