Billion or Bust! .....Surprise Bestseller! As president and then CEO of cloud provider Rackspace, Lanham Napier grew the company from $5 million to over $1 billion in revenues and $5 billion in market value while creating thousands of jobs. Under his leadership, especially growing its trademarked, high-quality customer service, Fanatical Support, Rackspace gained thousands of customers and industry dominance. A lifelong Texan, Lanham grew the company in his home state, overseeing the development of phenomenal new headquarters (a converted mall) in San Antonio and leading the company's IPO. Further, he obsessed over how to increase employee engagement, and he exuberantly succeeded in his goal. But, when Microsoft, Amazon, and Google entered the industry in force, everything changed . . . including Lanham's relationship with Rackspace executives and the company's board of directors. Lanham believed he had three options for leading the Rackspace response to the intense competition. But in fact, the board showed him that there was a fourth option (a very challenging option at that), which he had never even considered. Readers love the authenticity of this book and made it a bestseller for coaching and mentoring and for business management.

Denne boka gir en god innføring i sentrale utfordringer for ledere i offentlig sektor. Et grunnleggende prinsipp i velferdsstaten er at alle har lik rett til offentlige tjenester. For å få til dette i et komplisert og mangfoldig samfunn der digitaliseringen skyter fart, må offentlig sektor i størst mulig grad være brukerorientert - ledere og medarbeidere må både kjenne til brukernes behov og involvere dem i utviklingen av tjenestene. Brukerorientert ledelse i offentlig sektor gir en helhetlig presentasjon av hva brukerorientering innebærer i virksomheter i offentlig sektor, med særlig vekt på lederes rolle, og gir en god innføring i sentrale problemstillinger rundt brukerorientering. Gjennom praktiske eksempler viser boken hvordan virksomheter kan bli mer brukerorientert, både i fysiske møter med brukerne og digitalt. Boken tar også opp dilemmaer som kan oppstå på grunn av sektorens doble oppdrag: offentlige virksomheter skal ivareta både samfunnets og brukernes interesser.

Understand how to use emotion, memory, engagement and design thinking to create effective learning experiences for in-person, remote and digital learning.

Erfaring fra mer enn tre tiår innen ledelse av endring og transformasjon, i flere selskaper på tvers av bransjer og nasjonale kulturer, har lært meg noen viktige ting. Denne læringen har overbevist meg om det fantastiske potensialet de fleste organisasjoner har, knyttet til forbedring av måten endring planlegges og gjennomføres på. Min viktigste læring kan kort oppsummeres slik. Endring er en kontinuerlig innsats og organisasjoner som mestrer endring i den daglige driften, på den mest profesjonelle og inkluderende måten, er de mest bærekraftige. Verdien av endringen hviler på i hvilken grad den blir adoptert av organisasjonen og denne delen mangler for ofte. Derfor kreves det aktiv endringsledelse for å høste gevinstene med ethvert endringsinitiativ. Vellykket endring kan bare skje hvis den drives av lederne i organisasjonen. En prosjektleder eller en endringsleder kan bare legge til rette for prosessen og gjøre det mulig for lederne å mobilisere for endringen.
