In this timeless guide on maximizing teams to achieve outstanding business success, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Who's Got Your Back, and Never Eat Alone distills his years of experience coaching teams at Fortune 500 companies and startup unicorns to optimize team performance. The world's best teams don't win because of leadership alone. They win because of teamship. Yet when it comes to success, it is leaders who are lauded; too little attention is given to the transformation of the team itself. We've all but ignored how to extract billions of dollars of shareholder value from the interdependency of talent in teams, Keith Ferrazzi argues. Upgrading teams is one of the least curated and under-leveraged opportunities for success. It is time to focus on teamship. But first we must reinvent our understanding of what teamship is and how it functions in a work world that is significantly more volatile, networked, hybrid, diverse, and inclusive than even a decade ago. New thinking about the false and debilitative assumptions that drive teams to underperform is overdue. We need to capture the bold spirit of co-creation and human ingenuity that drives teams like Astro Teller's Google X to strive for and sustain innovation. In Teamship, Ferrazzi shares the approach that drives his coaching practice-the playbook he has used to reboot team performance at major brands, including Mastercard, Intel, Starbucks, and General Motors, along with fast-growth unicorns like MongoDB, and Scopley and governments like Bhutan and NGOs like the World Bank. Drawing on more than two decades of deep study with colleagues from the Ferrazzi Greenlight Research Institute, he identifies ten key shifts to unlock the potential of any team, accompanied with 20 High Return Practices that quickly turn each shift into a new team habit. Using the tools that have successfully rebooted team performance at Fortune 500 companies and unicorn brands, Teamship can help any organization experience innovation and exponential growth.

With the increase of entrepreneurship, business consolidations, and introspection of institutions, underserved communities are taking center stage. As each industry seeks to find the right trailhead to understand the complex solutions, Big Body Business applies the simple "golden rule" premise as a universal compass. This book is not here to address root causes of obesity, but rather accepts the data as reality, moves past the complexity of why it is so, and seeks to serve people without phobia or judgment. In fact, by reading this book, you can't go back to seeing people of size as simply fat, one-dimensional characters.Designed to be accessible, this book offers the passionate perspective of someone who has experienced many facets of business. Joan Denizot has found herself an accidental advocate and she embraces her role as a pioneer, all while in a big body. The ideas are in one sense obvious and overlooked, (as indicated on the cover), yet only now has the zeitgeist come to allow society to pause and take a closer look at pain points. Joan uses her personal journey, years as a lone voice in the desert making products exclusively for people of size, and the experiences of her customer base to make the much needed human connection to great effect.The way to succeed is to help what hurts, and Joan has spent decades courageously and authentically putting herself into harm's way on behalf of her community. She sees the barriers for heavy people as invisible closed signs which most organizations have chosen to ignore or have simply never noticed. Big Body Business offers the wisdom and words that open the doors to new opportunities. With inclusion driving decisions in every boardroom, and the banner of fat advocacy waving proudly, you too can succeed in making more money, making better experiences, and making a difference.Joan Denizot is an author, speaker, and founder of ZIZE Bikes, (the first and only maker of bikes exclusively for heavy riders), and BodyReady, a consulting company dedicated to helping bring change through empowerment and empathy.

"A master class on team dynamics in a picture book -- yes! Only someone with Michelle Brody's experience and wisdom could do that! Read this book and learn from the best!" -- Amy Hayes, Global Head of Learning and Development at Meta (Facebook)We all experience workplace conflict. Now, SEE the solution in a new way.What if workplace teams that are pulled apart by conflict could be "drawn together" by actual drawings - playful but pointed illustrations that help us see ourselves (and each other) in normalizing, lighthearted ways to rapidly trigger breakthroughs in team tension? Using a "visual method" developed for couples therapy, high-stakes and high-emotion team situations are captured in mindset-changing pictures so that teams can deescalate conflict, engage responsibility, and achieve real resolution. In her groundbreaking new book Own Your Armor, executive coach and psychologist Dr. Michelle Brody presents a dramatically different, refreshing, and proven way to improve ineffective workplace dynamics and repair toxic cultures. She helps us see our "people dynamics" problems in new ways so we can craft lasting solutions.A Book Like No Other, Now for Your Unique TeamThere are a lot of books for leaders on "how to fix your team" when they are difficult, which suggests that the team is the problem and the leader is the change agent, pushing or pulling strategic levers to improve the situation. Own Your Armor approaches team dynamics with a completely different set of assumptions: The problem isn't just the team, The solution isn't just the leader's, andThe levers aren't "strategic."The levers are psychological, and they belong to us all. Team dynamics are co-created and are circularly reinforced over time. Unwinding them requires everyone (leaders and team members) to recognize their contribution to the culture problem and to rejoin the team with their best self.In the engaging pages of this book, which is filled with instructive illustrations and framed by 10 principles for "owning your armor" in the workplace, Brody shares the true causes of why teams experience bad culture and offers a practical way to talk about moving a team toward greater health.Revolutionary Change for Workplace CultureFixing an unhealthy work culture isn't easy, but it's impossible if we don't get at what is causing it. The root of team dynamics problems is nearly always a pileup of everyone's defensive armor. "We can all show up as our regular selves at work," Brody explains, "but when we're under threat, we put on some armor." Passive-aggressiveness, micromanaging, finger-pointing, and resource-grabbing are all forms of armor that good people sometimes resort to when under threat. Once people start armoring up, mistrust in a team grows, causing more need for armor, and locking up the culture even more. "For a team to take off armor to restore good communication, armor has to be owned."

This book contributes toward the understanding of the human experience at work during the pandemic and its implications on employee well-being in the context of Malaysia, a developing economy with its own set of unique challenges.

This book aims to bridge this gap by examining the Malaysian perspective of the concept of employee well-being in detail with the overarching goal of serving as a guide toward overcoming the challenges wrought on by the ever-changing post-pandemic environment. Different conditions and experiences are discussed to contextualize the unique ways in which individuals react to difficulties with an emphasis on how organizations can assist at a micro-level to allow employees to overcome such difficulties.

As our world grapples with the profound challenges of the 21st century, the concept of sustainability has emerged as a guiding light, illuminating the path towards a more equitable, resilient, and harmonious future. This edited volume, "New Paradigms of Sustainability in the Contemporary Era," presents a collection of diverse voices and groundbreaking perspectives that collectively redefine how we perceive and approach sustainability in our rapidly evolving world.The contemporary era has witnessed a seismic shift in our understanding of sustainability. Traditionally, the focus was on environmental conservation, resource management, and mitigating the impacts of human activities on the planet.

The chapters transcend disciplinary boundaries, fostering cross-pollination of ideas and approaches that have the potential to catalyze transformative change.Another prominent theme explored in this volume is the power of local action in shaping global sustainability outcomes. While international agreements and policies play a critical role, the volume underscores the importance of grassroots initiatives, community engagement, and localized solutions. These approaches not only empower individuals and communities but also have a ripple effect, influencing regional and global sustainability agendas.This volume is not limited to theoretical discussions. It is enriched with inspirational case studies and practical examples from around the world. From indigenous communities practicing traditional knowledge-based conservation to tech-driven innovations that address urban sustainability challenges, these real-world examples demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of new sustainability paradigms."New Paradigms of Sustainability in the Contemporary Era" represents a collective endeavour to expand the horizons of sustainability thinking.

Together, we can embrace new paradigms of sustainability, redefining our relationship with the planet, each other, and the future generations who will inherit the world we shape today.

I sistemi informativi gestionali (MIS) costituiscono un aspetto fondamentale della moderna infrastruttura organizzativa, integrando tecnologie informatiche, risorse umane e strutture procedurali per facilitare l'esecuzione efficiente delle funzioni aziendali. Nel suo nucleo, il MIS comporta la raccolta, l'elaborazione, l'archiviazione e la diffusione sistematica dei dati per supportare il processo decisionale, il coordinamento e l'analisi in vari ambiti operativi. Ciò comporta lo sfruttamento dei dati provenienti da fonti interne, come i sistemi transazionali, e da canali esterni, come i fornitori e i clienti. Attraverso sofisticati meccanismi di elaborazione, il MIS trasforma i dati grezzi in informazioni utili, archiviate in modo sicuro all'interno di database o data warehouse per garantirne l'accessibilità e l'integrità. Gli utenti possono quindi recuperare le informazioni pertinenti tramite report, cruscotti e strumenti analitici personalizzati, consentendo di prendere decisioni informate a livello strategico, tattico e operativo. Inoltre, il MIS favorisce la comunicazione e la collaborazione tra le parti interessate, integrandosi perfettamente con altri sistemi organizzativi come l'ERP e il CRM per snellire i processi e migliorare la produttività.
