Ledelse og strategi

In 2010 world-renowned innovation expert Clayton M. Christensen gave a powerful speech to the Harvard Business School's graduating class. Drawing upon his business research, he offered a series of guidelines for finding meaning and happiness in life. He used examples from his own experiences to explain how high achievers can all too often fall into traps that lead to unhappiness.The speech was memorable not only because it was deeply revealing but also because it came at a time of intense personal reflection: Christensen had just overcome the same type of cancer that had taken his father's life. As Christensen struggled with the disease, the question "How do you measure your life?" became more urgent and poignant, and he began to share his insights more widely with family, friends, and students. In this groundbreaking book, Christensen puts forth a series of questions: How can I be sure that I'll find satisfaction in my career? How can I be sure that my personalrelationships become enduring sources of happiness? How can I avoid compromising my integrity—and stay out of jail? Using lessons from some of the world's greatest businesses, he provides incredible insights into these challenging questions. How Will You Measure Your Life? is full of inspiration and wisdom, and will help students, midcareer professionals, and parents alike forge their own paths to fulfillment.

Krisehåndtering i et organisasjonsperspektiv gir en utførlig drøfting av hvordan krisehåndtering i en beredskapsorganisasjon påvirkes av både organisatoriske og institusjonelle strukturer, og av uformelle normer og praksiser.Forfatteren bruker politiets håndtering av terrorangrepene i Oslo og på Utøya fredag 22. juli 2011 som empirisk case for å belyse kompleksiteten knyttet til krisehåndtering. Forfatteren har gjennom sin forskning fått tilgang til et unikt datamateriale, som kaster nytt lys over politiets innsats i kjølvannet av terroren som fant sted.Ifølge forfatteren gir Gjørv-kommisjonens konklusjoner fra 2012 en altfor enkel og unyansert forklaring på politi-innsatsen og myndighetenes håndtering mer generelt den 22. juli. Som boken viser må man ta høyde for hvilken type informasjon som var tilgjengelig for de involverte polititjenestepersonene underveis i krisehåndteringen, de organisatoriske og teknologiske rammebetingelsene politiet opererte innenfor, og den politiske styringen av politiet i årene forut for 2011, for å få det fulle bildet av politiets innsats.Selv om det empiriske søkelyset er på politiets krisehåndtering under terrorangrepene 22. juli, er boken først og fremst en fagbok om krisehåndtering med utgangspunkt i organisasjonsteoretiske og statsvitenskapelige perspektiver.

Boka setter fokus på helse- og sosialarenaen som konfliktarena, og viser hvordan konfliktforståelse er en forutsetning for god konflikthåndtering. Mange av eksemplene i boka er knyttet til lederens ansvar for konflikthåndtering. Forfatteren henvender seg i første rekke til fagfolk og studenter på høgskoleutdanningene for helse- og sosialsektoren. Med litteraturliste og register.

How you compensate people is one of the most important strategic decisions your company will make - but few "get it right and out of sight." Nail it and you can add hundreds of percentage points to the bottom line while driving up the energy in the organization. Make the wrong call (or piecemeal the decision together), and the results will create needless drama throughout the organization. Do any of these challenges sound familiar? ¿ "I gave a star performer a raise, and now everyone else is marching into my office, demanding one, too." ¿ "If anyone looked closely at our payroll, it would be hard to rationalize why we're paying certain people what we do." ¿ "I'm tired of losing our best people to the Googles of the world because we can't match their salaries." Compensation is one of your largest expenses, one you can turn it into a strategic advantage in attracting, retaining, and motivating talent (or not accidentally demotivating them). In this highly practical book, the authors share 5 principles for designing effective compensation systems along with plenty of examples from leading small, medium, and large firms across various industries. You'll learn: 1. The #1 mistake business leaders make in setting up their compensation plans 2. The psychological aspects of compensation underpinning successful plans 3. How individual bonuses can backfire 4. The power of gamifying gains to drive up energy and engagement 5. Whether you want to be queen/king or rich!

Mellomlederen handler om den sentrale rollen mellomlederen spiller i effektiv implementering av endringer, og betydningen mellomlederen har for virksomhetens leverte strategi. Mellomlederen er en leder - med det ansvar og de muligheter som ligger i det. Derfor blir både ledelses- og strategibegrepet drøftet. Maktbegrepet, maktspill og mellomlederens maktutøvelse blir behandlet i sammenheng med ledelsesbegrepet. Med utgangspunkt i de teoretiske drøftelsene om mellomlederen i endring presenteres leseren for et rammeverk for å strukturere og analysere mellomlederens rolle ved endring og iverksetting av strategi. En rekke eksempler fra forfatterens egen lederkarriere belyser bokens teoretiske innhold. Boken retter seg mot både nye og mer erfarne ledere på alle nivåer samt studenter som gjennom sitt utdanningsløp kommer i kontakt med ledelsesfaget. I tillegg vil de som ved endt utdanning ganske snart kan påregne å komme i en mellomlederfunksjon, ha nytte av boken.

Boka gir ledere, tillitsvalgte og andre endringsledere kunnskapen som trengs for å gå fra et utdatert system preget av målstyring, byråkrati og hierarki - til et samfunn som fjerner sløsing i alle former og frigjør de enorme og ofte skjulte ressursene som ligger i alle mennesker. Lærende organisasjoner beskriver det nødvendige oppbruddet fra den nåværende mål- og resultatstyringen til ekte lærende organisasjoner og lærende systemer. Boka består av tre deler. Den første delen, «Fortid», tar opp spørsmålet: Hvorfor har vi havnet i dette uføret, og hvordan kommer vi ut av det? Del to, «Nåtid», handler om hvordan vi går fra «innføring av Lean» og kontinuerlig forbedring til å bli en ekte lærende organisasjon. Siste del, «Framtid», spør: Hvordan utvikler vi selvorganiserende og åpne deltakende organisasjoner? En rød tråd gjennom boka er systemtenkning. Systemtenkning er bevissthet om hvordan systemer virker, og om hvordan vi tenker om dem. For å transformere organisasjonene må vi forandre hvordan vi tenker. Boka er for folk som vil bli bedre tenkere.

Behavioral Science in the Wild helps practitioners understand how to use insights from the behavioral sciences to create change in the real world.

Carrie Sun was in her twenties when she stepped into the fast and furious world of high finance. An immigrant from China who grew up in the Midwest and graduated from M.I.T., hers was a world of 24/7 striving in which working hard was the ultimate virtue. After a grueling interview process, she lands a position at one of Wall Street's most covert investment firms. She begins her job eager to learn, grow, and do whatever it takes to dazzle her billionaire boss. But the deeper Sun ventures into this white, male-dominated, time-starved, luxury-laden world, the less she recognises herself. It takes playing the game at the highest level, amidst the ultimate winners in our winners-take-all economy, for Sun to question her past that brought her to the top and, perhaps, find the courage to break free and leave it all behind. Coming in the midst of a global reckoning with burnout, when many - and perhaps especially women - are reevaluating their relationship to work, Sun's story illuminates the struggle for balance in a world of extremes. It is a universal tale of self-creation. Challenging us to account for some of our most deeply held beliefs about work and money and identity, Private Equity is a stunning, dramatic story of personal transformation within an unjust system.

Denne boken er en oppfølger til næringslivsleder og forfatter Anita Krohn Traaseths bestselger Godt nok for de svina (2014), som handlet om barndom og oppvekst, de første arbeidsårene og veien til lederansvar. I Fisken på disken møter vi en mer erfaren leder og hennes refleksjoner rundt tiden vi lever i, meningen med å lede endring, og valgene hun har tatt. Hun gir innblikk i hvor hun henter energi, og hvorfor hun mener at det av og til er viktig å gjøre ting du aldri hadde forestilt deg at du kom til å gjøre. Vi blir med Krohn Traaseth på et krevende endringsoppdrag i Innovasjon Norge i 2014-2019. Årene som på mange måter var opptakten til den største omstillingen av norsk økonomi i nyere tid. Med utgangspunkt i egne erfaringer skriver hun innsiktsfullt om hvor viktig det er å ta opp ting selv om det er vanskelig og risikofylt, å stå for noe, sette grenser, og ta konsekvensene som måtte komme. For det blir aldri godt nok, blir det vel?

';Indispensable' Daniel Kahneman How do you get people to donate their organs? What's the trick to reading a wine list? What's the perfect number of potential matches a dating site should offer? Every time we make a choice, our minds go through an elaborate process most of us never even notice. We're influenced by subtle aspects of the way the choice is presented that often make the difference between a good decision and a bad one. To overcome the common faults in our decision-making and enable better choices in any situation involves conscious and intentional decision design. Transcending the familiar concepts of nudges and defaults, The Elements of Choice offers a comprehensive, systematic guide to creating effective choice architectures, the environments in which we make decisions. The designers of decisions need to consider all the elements involved in presenting a choice: how many options to offer, how to present those options, how to account for our natural cognitive shortcuts, and much more. These levers are unappreciated, yet they impact our reasoning every day. This book doesn't simply analyse the mental fallacies that trip us up. It goes further to show us what good decision-making looks like that it can be both moral and effective.

«En glimrende bok! Uansett hvem du er og hvor du er i livet, kan du la deg inspirere av Eirik Kristoffersen.» Erik Bertrand Larssen Hva skal til for å bli best? I Jegerånden tar Eirik Kristoffersen oss med på innsiden av Norges fremste elitestyrke. I 2020 ble general Eirik Kristoffersen Norges nye forsvarssjef. Inntil da hadde han det meste av karrieren tjenestegjort i Forsvarets spesialkommando (FSK) - en myteomspunnet militær styrke med svært harde opptakskrav. For å bli en del av FSK, må man ha den rette «jegerånden», men hva innebærer det? Hva gjør FSK for å utvikle sine soldater, både individuelt og som gruppe? Og hvordan bygger de en kultur preget av tillit og trygghet - der man både omstiller seg, tåler konflikter og tør å gjøre feil? Boka er skrevet i samarbeid med Malin Stensønes. Den bygger på en rekke konkrete hendelser - både dramatiske episoder fra krig, utfordringer under opplæring eller omstilling, og eksempler på egenskapen Kristoffersen setter aller høyest hos sine medarbeidere: mot til å protestere og si nei. Jegerånden er en bok om ledelse, motivasjon og kultur, men først og fremst om den innbitte viljen til alltid å bli bedre.
