Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Meet Emily and Paul: The parents of two young children, Emily is the newly promoted VP of marketing at a large corporation while Paul works from home or from clients' offices as an independent IT consultant. Their lives, like all of ours, are filled with a bewildering blizzard of emails, phone calls, yet more emails, meetings, projects, proposals, and plans. Just staying ahead of the storm has become a seemingly insurmountable task. In this book, we travel inside Emily and Paul's brains as they attempt to sort the vast quantities of information they're presented with, figure out how to prioritize it, organize it and act on it. Fortunately for Emily and Paul, they're in good hands: David Rock knows how the brain works-and more specifically, how it works in a work setting. Rock shows how it's possible for Emily and Paul, and thus the reader, not only to survive in today's overwhelming work environment but succeed in it-and still feel energized and accomplished at the end of the day. YOUR BRAIN AT WORK explores issues such as: - why our brains feel so taxed, and how to maximize our mental resources - why it's so hard to focus, and how to better manage distractions - how to maximize your chance of finding insights that can solve seemingly insurmountable problems - how to keep your cool in any situation, so that you can make the best decisions possible - how to collaborate more effectively with others - why providing feedback is so difficult, and how to make it easier - how to be more effective at changing other people's behavior --Warren Bennis, Distinguished Professor of Business and University Professor, University of Southern California and author of On Becoming a Leade.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. In constant demand as a speaker and thought leader in business coaching around the world, David Rock understands why conventional "managing" and "motivating" rarely work. Supported by the latest research on the brain and learning styles, Quiet Leadership gives every stressed-out manager a simple system for bringing out the best in their colleagues. The core of Rock's program for creating coaches is that modern organizations require a new 'quiet' kind of leadership--leadership that is capable of improving people's thinking and therefore their performance.

The highly-effective leader achieves breakthroughs by asking guided questions that help others understand their mental wiring, road blocks, and assumptions--and create new mental models for effective performance. Rock's 5-step program walks every manager through this new process for teaching people how to change from within. The results Better thinking, positive change, high-performing teams. The book includes exercises, tips, sidebars, and dozens of powerful illustrations.…
