Kto bude viesť všetky kmene?

Oduševnělé přehodnocení toho, čím může být práce a vedení, z hlavy vizionáře, známého autora a myšlenkového vůdce Setha Godina. Tato kniha je strhující úvaha o práci: proč je taková, jaká je, proč se tak zhoršila a co můžeme všichni - zejména vedoucí pracovníci - udělat pro to, aby se zlepšila. Ekonomická nestabilita a vzestup práce na dálku způsobily, že jsme odloučení a neangažovaní. Znepokojení manažeři reagují tvrdými nařízeními shora, propouštěním, dohledem a povinnými schůzemi. Pracovníci reagují tichým odchodem a prací za svou mzdu. Ale nemusí to tak být. Legendární autor knih o podnikání Seth Godin se prostřednictvím 144 provokativních strof dostává k jádru toho, co nás trápí; ukazuje, co je skutečným důvodem těchto trendů, a vyzývá nás, abychom se zlepšili způsobem, který má smysl. Volba je jednoduchá. Můžeme snášet kocovinu průmyslového kapitalismu, nadále zacházet s lidmi jako s věcmi na jedno použití a připojit se k závodu ke dnu poháněnému umělou inteligencí. Nebo se spojíme, abychom vybudovali významnou organizaci, která každého zařadí, posílí a bude mu důvěřovat, aby odváděl svou nejlepší práci bez ohledu na to, kde se nachází. Tuto knihu je třeba sdílet se šéfy a spolupracovníky, diskutovat o ní a uvádět ji do praxe. Bez ohledu na naši roli je v našich silách něco změnit. Protože, jak píše Godin: "Lidé nejsou zdroj. Jsou smyslem."

From the bestselling author of Linchpin, Tribes, and The Dip comes an elegant little book that will inspire artists, writers, and entrepreneurs to stretch and commit to putting their best work out into the world. Creative work doesn't come with a guarantee. But there is a pattern to who succeeds and who doesn't. And engaging in the consistent practice of its pursuit is the best way forward. Based on the breakthrough Akimbo workshop pioneered by legendary author Seth Godin, The Practice will help you get unstuck and find the courage to make and share creative work. Godin insists that writer's block is a myth, that consistency is far more important than authenticity, and that experiencing the imposter syndrome is a sign that you're a well-adjusted human. Most of all, he shows you what it takes to turn your passion from a private distraction to a productive contribution, the one you've been seeking to share all along. With this book as your guide, you'll learn to dance with your fear. To take the risks worth taking. And to embrace the empathy required to make work that contributes with authenticity and joy.

Presents an analysis of current marketing trends, maintaining that the marketing campaigns that succeed are those that cater to the inclination of consumers to believe the best story, irrespective of the facts.

Presents a call to action about taking initiative, embracing change, and risking failure.

Nepostradatelní jsou základními stavebními kameny prosperující firmy. Tak jako může na pár skrytých pilířích stát dům nebo most, stejně tak ani oni nemusejí být vidět, ale jsou tu a jsou skutečně nepostradatelní. A v dnešním světě dostávají právě ta nejlepší pracovní místa a s nimi i nejvíc svobody. V této knize se dozvíte: - kdy a jak se změnil svět práce a proč si to mnozí lidé stále neuvědomují že každý má možnost zvolit, zda se stane nepostradatelným, nebo zda se zařadí mezi průměrné a postradatelné - jak se stát pilířem firmy, co všechno to obnáší a co naopak poskytuje - jaké jsou hlavní dovednosti nepostradatelných a jak se dají rozvíjet - jak nepostradatelní pracují s emocemi, jak vytvářejí vztahy s lidmi kolem sebe - proč pro nepostradatelné neplatí žádná pracovní příručka, žádný itinerář - jakými mýty jsme obklopeni a proč brání správným rozhodnutím

When it comes to the climate, we don't need more marketing or anxiety. We need established facts and a plan for collective action.The climate is the fundamental issue of our time, yet it seems we can barely agree on what is really going on, let alone what needs to be done. We urgently need facts, not opinions. Insights, not statistics.The Carbon Almanac is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between hundreds of writers, researchers, thinkers, and leaders that focuses on what we know, what has come before, and what might happen next. With thousands of data points, articles and charts explaining carbon's impact on everything in our society, from our the economy to extreme weather events, it is the definitive source for facts and the basis for a global movement to fight climate change. This book isn't what the oil companies, marketers, activists, or politicians want you to believe. This is what's really happening, right now. Our planet is in trouble, and no one concerned group, corporation, country, or hemisphere canaddress this on its own. We are in this together. And it's not too late for concerted, collective action for change.

The book that sparked a marketing revolution."This is a subversive book. It says that the marketer is not--and ought not to be--at the center of successful marketing. The customer should be. Are you ready for that?" --From the Foreword by Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point.Counter to traditional marketing wisdom, which tries to count, measure, and manipulate the spread of information, Seth Godin argues that the information can spread most effectively from customer to customer, rather than from business to customer. Godin calls this powerful customer-to-customer dialogue the ideavirus, and cheerfully eggs marketers on to create an environment where their ideas can replicate and spread.In lively detail, Godin looks at the ways companies such as PayPal, Hotmail, GeoCities, even Volkswagen have successfully launched ideaviruses. He offers a "recipe" for creating your own ideavirus, identifies the key factors in the successful spread of an ideavirus (powerful sneezers, hives, a clear vector, a smooth, friction-free transmission), and shows how any business, large or small, can use ideavirus marketing to succeed in a world that just doesn't want to hear it anymore from the traditional marketers.

Whether it is the TV commercial that breaks into our favourite programme or the telemarketing phone call that disrupts a family meal, traditional advertising is based on the hope of snaring our attention away from whatever we are doing. Seth Godin calls this Interruption Marketing, and, as companies are discovering, it no longer works. Instead of annoying potential customers by interrupting their most coveted commodity, time, Permission Marketing offers consumers incentives to voluntarily accept advertising. Now the Internet pioneer who has dramatically improved marketing effectiveness in media introduces a fundamentally different way of thinking about advertising products and services. By reaching out to only those individuals who have expressed an interest in learning more about a product, Permission Marketing enables companies to develop long-term relationships with customers, create trust, build brand awareness, and greatly improve the chances of making a sale.

Featuring a collection of insightful posts from Seth Godin's renowned blog, this book serves as a treasure trove of wisdom and inspiration. It encourages readers to reflect on creativity, marketing, and the power of unique ideas. Ideal for quick reads or deep dives, it appeals to both long-time fans and newcomers, making it a versatile addition to any bookshelf.

"The workplace has undergone a massive shift. Remote work and economic instability have depressed innovation and left us disconnected and disengaged. Quiet quitting runs rampant, and people show up without truly showing up. Alarmed managers are doubling down on keystroke surveillance, productivity tracking and back-to-the-office mandates, when what they should be doing is the opposite - affording employees the dignity necessary to inject purpose and motivation into their work. In The Song of Significance, Seth Godin argues that we need to build organisations that empower and trust employees to deliver their best work, no matter where they're working. If you want your employees to live up to their full professional potential, you must give them the respect and autonomy they deserve as humans. Godin offers a series of commitments leaders must make, and a list of organizational milestones on the way to significance. It's time for leaders to make and keep a new promise, and to recognize that, as Godin says, "Humans aren't a resource. They are the point.""--Publisher's description.
