The values underlying all corporate cultures are represented in seven colors which combine to form individual patterns. The Culture Map can be used as a basis for successful change and innovation processes, mergers, and integrations. When managers and employees see where they are trying to go, it enables them to take the appropriate decisions and actions."This is the perfect (work-)book for those who want to know what makes their organization tick and who want to actively sculpt its success."

Using seventeen cases where researchers applied behavioral interventions in the field, this book identifies not only what works but also what does not work (and why).

What all of us can do to fight the pervasive human tendency to enable wrongdoing in the workplace, politics, and beyondIt is easy to condemn obvious wrongdoers such as Elizabeth Holmes, Adam Neumann, Harvey Weinstein, and the Sackler family. But we rarely think about the many people who supported their unethical or criminal behavior. In each case there was a supporting cast of complicitors: business partners, employees, investors, news organizations, and others. And, whether we're aware of it or not, almost all of us have been complicit in the unethical behavior of others. In Complicit, Harvard Business School professor Max Bazerman confronts our complicity head-on and offers strategies for recognizing and avoiding the psychological and other traps that lead us to ignore, condone, or actively support wrongdoing in our businesses, organizations, communities, politics, and more.Complicit tells compelling stories of those who enabled the Theranos and WeWork scandals, the opioid crisis, the sexual abuse that led to the #MeToo movement, and the January 6th U.S. Capitol attack. The book describes seven different behavioral profiles that can lead to complicity in wrongdoing, ranging from true partners to those who unknowingly benefit from systemic privilege, including white privilege, and it tells the story of Bazerman's own brushes with complicity. Complicit also offers concrete and detailed solutions, describing how individuals, leaders, and organizations can more effectively prevent complicity.By challenging the notion that a few bad apples are responsible for society's ills, Complicit implicates us all-and offers a path to creating a more ethical world.

The unprecedented challenges of today¿a world-wide pandemic, climate disruption on a global scale, and an economic instability that knows no boundaries¿require a leadership grounded in a profound and unflinching awareness of our interconnectedness and the existential stakes before us. The Path to Authentic Leadership frames the dilemmas of leadership within the insights provided by the Ouroboros, the mythic snake willing to destroy parts of itself so that it can be renewed. Like the Ouroboros, today¿s leaders must be prepared to enter into a dynamic, uncertain, and ever-changing environment with the capacity to reflect, adapt, let go of what is no longer working, and create solutions that are not only renewing, but sustainable.Drawing from his decades of training in psychoanalysis and the systems-psychodynamic method, Kets de Vries discusses the effects of the pandemic in the context of the seven deadly sins, the impact of shame, evil, the lure of charisma and even the perils of procrastination. Also, he explores the inner theatre of white-collar criminals and the super-rich. He comments on the role of magic in management and the paradoxical role of koans, serving as catalysts for change.From there, he goes on to outline a path toward organizational transformation, turning again to the self-renewing process presented by the Ouroboros. This dynamic is applied to his 7C sequence for organizational transformation¿Context, Confrontation, Clarification, Crystallization, Cascading, Consolidation, and Continuity. Its enactment is brought to life through the story of a troubled CEO and the careful, step-by-step advice offered by an experienced executive consultant. Throughout, Kets de Vries reminds us that the path to authentic leadership will be meaningless unless it is guided by a deeply held commitment to serve as a force for good.

Imagine a world where all small business owners have the skills, tools, and confidence to contribute to a healthy world economy, creating secure, meaningful employment while maintaining personal prosperity and freedom.If only it were that easy. Small businesses account for 90 percent of all businesses globally and employ 70 percent of the world's workforce. The role of the small business owner cannot be underestimated-as goes the small business owner, so goes the economy. Yet 51 percent of small businesses don't make it to year five.The owners of the surviving 49 percent struggle to build (and keep) a profitable business. They tend to produce inconsistent results for customers. Often, they cannot pay their employees or themselves what they deserve. Instead of feeling proud of the company they've created, some business owners feel trapped. Start-ups and corporations get help from venture capitalists or grant programs; Main Street small business owners don't-especially not during years three through eight when most have a viable business, several employees, and more struggles than they expected.It's time the engines of our economy-small business owners- receive the help they deserve.Small Business, Big Opportunity: Systematize Your Small Business, Create Personal Freedom, and Live the Entrepreneurial Dream offers that help. This practical and complete guide to documenting and designing business systems empowers small business owners to free themselves from day-to-day operations and earn consistent profit so they can give back first to themselves, then to their family, their community, and the world.This book is a radical shift from popular authors, speakers, and trainers who've never built, run, and sold a business. Their well-intended advice neglects the owner's personal aspirations and emotional needs. Every small business owner feels the pressure of their responsibilities. This pressure often turns into anxiety, fear, and doubt, taking its toll on the owner's health over time. No book, course, or seminar before Small Business, Big Opportunity has helped business owners replace those negative feelings with hope.Small Business, Big Opportunity approaches small business owners with empathy and understanding. The author herself started, grew, and sold a profitable small business in a down economy. She's also helped hundreds of other business owners get organized, become profitable, and be financially free. Her book distills twenty-five years of small business success into a single volume, representing ten thousand hours of coaching and three thousand small business assessments. Small business owners will learn every key business system from structure and staffing through sales and service. As a result, owners can achieve goals on autopilot and build a profitable company worth selling or passing on to the next generation.Small Business, Big Opportunity targets the US and Canada's combined thirty-plus million small business owners to set them up for the success they imagined when they first started their venture. Written by an award-winning small business owner turned world-renowned small business coach, its pragmatic yet friendly style is illustrated with inspirational real-life small business success stories throughout. Small Business, Big Opportunity will enjoy wide acclaim, significant sales, and a perennial shelf life in both the business and self-help markets.

While larger corporations often lead in the realm of innovation, many Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) lag behind, especially in Eastern Europe. Their limited internal resources often become a bottleneck, making it challenging to address vital customer innovation. At its core, successful innovation management revolves around understanding and addressing genuine customer needs, fostering innovative business ideas and concepts.For many SMEs, the challenge lies not just in obtaining customer feedback, but also in effectively processing this feedback into actionable insights. The path to truly customer-centric innovation is intricate, necessitating transformations at every organizational level. Yet, with the dawn of digitalization and new media, a myriad of opportunities has emerged. These technologies empower SMEs to harness customer-centric innovations, bolstering their innovative prowess and market competitiveness. Surprisingly, the majority of SMEs remain unaware or underr-equipped to leverage these digital tools and methods.Against this background, the international Erasmu+ project 'Digital methods, toolbox and trainings for increasing customer innovation in SMEs' (ICIinSMEs) was implemented from 2020 - 2023, to enable and support SMEs to exploit their customer innovation potential and thus to strengthen the productivity and competitiveness of SMEs, to secure existing jobs and to create new ones. The book compiles the main results and experiences from Denmark, Germany, Hungary and Poland.
