Executive Talent

This brilliant, up-to-date compendium argues that the most successful factor in company life is good people: individuals who are capable, competent, and savvy. Can corporate life attract such people? Ginzberg argues that despite demographic dislocations and the challenges to the work ethic, the answer to this question is a loud yes. In Executive Talent, Ginzberg and his colleagues show how to attract, train, and promote a superior work force, and how to take advantage of the different values in today's employees.Over 25 percent of the population currently graduates from a senior college, and the number going for advanced degrees is climbing. Blacks and Hispanics together will soon account for one in every four new native-born job applicants. Women are now nearly as prevalent in the work force as men. Today's employees place more emphasis on family and leisure, and less on company loyalty. In the face of these critical changes, companies can no longer continue with the same human resource policies. Ginzberg offers new approaches to attract and retain superior talent.In Executive Talent, Ginzberg brings together top academics and high level executives to explore the new world of work. They discuss coming trends and changes that will reshape the talent pool, how these shifts will impact the individual company, and ways to develop and implement a human resource strategy to meet the challenging work force of the future.

Comment les négociateurs réussissent : Retrouvez les aptitudes de l'enfance !

Business & Personal Finance

Naît-on bon négociateur ou le devient-on à force d'expérience ? Pourquoi certains réussissent-ils à négocier, là où d'autres échouent ? La négociation est un véritable plaisir et un mode de vie pour les uns, un pensum et une contrainte pour les autres. Négocier consiste pourtant simplement à intégrer l'autre dans son équation personnelle. C'est un voyage au coeur de l'altérité. L'art et la science de la négociation nécessitent des aptitudes clés acquises dès l'enfance, telles que l'agréabilité, l'audace, la flexibilité, la stabilité émotionnelle, la curiosité, la créativité et la ténacité. À contre-courant des multiples méthodes existantes, les auteurs sont convaincus que c'est bien dans l'enfance que se font les premières armes et que l'on développe son premier style de négociateur.Cet ouvrage s'adresse ainsi à toute personne (manager, pilote de projet, commercial, RH, parent...) qui sait que le pourcentage de décisions qui peuvent être prises de manière unilatérale, sans l'accord de personne, est infime. Vous y trouverez les clés pour préparer et définir le périmètre de la négociation, avant de rechercher l'enfant qui sommeille en chacun de nous, pour mobiliser les aptitudes qui permettent d'obtenir ce que l'on veut vraiment.

El Príncipe (Traducido)

Business & Personal Finance

El Príncipe, de Nicolás Maquiavelo, es un tratado político del siglo XVI. A veces se afirma queEl Príncipe es una de las primeras obras de la filosofía moderna, especialmente de la filosofía política moderna, en la que la verdad efectiva se considera más importante que cualquier ideal abstracto. También entra en conflicto directo con las doctrinas católicas y escolásticas dominantes de la época en materia de política y ética. El Príncipe tiene como tema general la aceptación de que los objetivos de los príncipes -como la gloria y la supervivencia- pueden justificar el uso de medios inmorales para alcanzar esos fines. Aunque es relativamente breve, el tratado es la obra más recordada de Maquiavelo y la más responsable de que la palabra «maquiavélico» se utilice como peyorativo. Incluso contribuyó a las modernas connotaciones negativas de las palabras «política» y «político» en los países occidentales. En cuanto al tema, coincide con los Discursos sobre Livio, mucho más extensos y escritos unos años más tarde. Maquiavelo subraya la necesidad del realismo, frente al idealismo. Junto a ello, subraya la diferencia entre los seres humanos y los animales, ya que «hay dos maneras de contender, una conforme a las leyes, la otra por la fuerza; la primera es propia de los hombres, la segunda de las bestias». En El Príncipe no explica cuáles cree que son los mejores objetivos éticos o políticos, salvo el control de la propia fortuna, frente a esperar a ver qué depara el azar. Maquiavelo daba por sentado que los aspirantes a dirigentes aspiran naturalmente a la gloria o al honor. Asociaba estos objetivos con la necesidad de «virtud» y «prudencia» en un líder, y veía tales virtudes como esenciales para la buena política y, de hecho, para el bien común. Que los grandes hombres debían desarrollar y utilizar su virtud y prudencia era un tema tradicional de los consejos a los príncipes cristianos.

The 3rd Alternative

Business & Personal Finance

From the multimillion-copy bestselling author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, hailed as the #1 Most Influential Business Book of the Twentieth Century, The 3rd Alternative introduces a breakthrough approach to conflict resolution and creative problem solving. There are many methods of “conflict resolution,” but most involve compromise, a low-level accommodation that stops the fight without breaking through to new and innovative results. The 3rd Alternative introduces a breakthrough approach to conflict resolution and creative problem solving, transcending traditional solutions to conflict by forging a path toward a third option. A third alternative moves beyond your way or my way to a higher and better way—one that allows both parties to emerge from debate or even heated conflict in a far better place than either had envisioned. With the third alternative, nobody has to give up anything, and everyone wins.Through key examples and stories from his work as a consultant, Covey demonstrates the power of 3rd Alternative thinking. His wide-ranging examples include a Canadian metropolitan police force that transformed a crime-plagued community; a judge who brought a quick, peaceful end to one of the biggest environmental lawsuits in American history without setting foot in a courtroom; the principal of a high school for children of migrant workers who raised their graduation rate from 30 percent to 90 percent; a handful of little-known people who are quietly finding new ways to bring peace to the Middle East; and many others. These various groups and individuals offer living examples of how to create new and better results instead of escalating conflict, as well as how to build strong relationships based on an attitude of winning together.Beyond conflict and compromise, The 3rd Alternative unveils a radical, creative new way of thinking.
