Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "A fascinating survey of the digital age . . . An eye-opening paean to possibility." --The Boston Globe "Mr. Shirky writes cleanly and convincingly about the intersection of technological innovation and social change." --New York Observer An extraordinary exploration of how technology can empower social and political organizers For the first time in history, the tools for cooperating on a global scale are not solely in the hands of governments or institutions. The spread of the internet and mobile phones are changing how people come together and get things done--and sparking a revolution that, as Clay Shirky shows, is changing what we do, how we do it, and even who we are. Here, we encounter a whoman who loses her phone and recruits an army of volunteers to get it back from the person who stole it. A dissatisfied airline passenger who spawns a national movement by taking her case to the web. And a handful of kids in Belarus who create a political protest that the state is powerless to stop. Here Comes Everybody is a revelatory examination of how the wildfirelike spread of new forms of social interaction enabled by technology is changing the way humans form groups and exist within them. A revolution in social organization has commenced, and Clay Shirky is its brilliant chronicler.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. If you cut off a spider's leg, it's crippled. If you cut off its head it dies. But if you cut off a starfish's leg it grows a new one and the old leg can grow into an entirely new starfish. Some organisations are as decentralised as the starfish, with no control or grand strategy, such as Craigslist and Napster who both were originally run by their customers. This new book proves that this type of leadership is primed to take over the world. Major companies are starting to decentralise with great results. This is a guide to the theory behind decentralisation.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Although much as been written about how to make better decisions, a decision by itself changes nothing. The big problem facing managers and their organizations today is one of implementation--how to get things done in a timely and effective way. Problems of implementation are really issues of how to influence behavior, change the course of events, overcome resistance, and get people to do things they would not otherwise do. In a word, power. Managing With Power provides an in-depth look at the role of power and influence in organizations. Pfeffer shows convincingly that its effective use is an essential component of strong leadership. With vivid examples, he makes a compelling case for the necessity of power in mobilizing the political support and resources to get things done in any organization. He provides an intriguing look at the personal attributes--such as flexibility, stamina, and a high tolerance for conflict--and the structural factors--such as control of resources, access to information, and formal authority--that can help managers advance organizational goals and achieve individual success.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Suffering brought into the workplace or created by it is not just a private matter: it's an unrecognized, costly drain on organizational potential. Scholars and consultants Worline and Dutton reveal that not only does unaddressed suffering have a dramatic impact on productivity and profitability but that it robs workplaces of humanity, dignity, and motivation. Marshalling evidence from two decades of field research, they demonstrate that compassion confers measurable competitive advantages in areas like innovation, collaboration, service quality, adaptability, and talent attraction and retention. They outline steps leaders, managers, and coworkers can take to alleviate suffering in the workplace, showing how a capacity for compassion can be built into the structures and practices of an organization. Ultimately, they argue that creating compassionate organizations is smart business.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Turf battles, empire building, ego trips, favouritism - power struggles that arise from the win-lose perspective of power - short-circuit organizational communication, suppress creativity, punish those who take responsibility and create the gossip and grievances that plague today's workplace. This publication moves away from the traditional, finite notion of power to a new paradigm - one that expands and strengthens personal power, interpersonal influence and the ability to create powerful teams. In this blueprint for win-win performance, Michael Broom details the six principles of infinite power for achieving personal goals and the organization's vision: focus our energy on our own goals; think systematically; learn from differences; operate only from sound and current data; empower ourselves and others to resolve problems; and develop and use a diverse support system. Demonstrating that power is virtually unlimited when accrued through partnering and learning, this book shows how to apply the six principles to leadership, structures and policies, and management practices to create the focused and passionate culture of the infinite organization.…
