Le plan des revenus passifs: Comment faire de l'argent dans votre sommeil
by Adidas WilsonLes revenus passifs sont en train de devenir de plus en plus populaires. Cependant, beaucoup de gens ne comprennent pas encore à quel point ils sont bénéfiques. Croyez le ou pas, faire de l'argent dans votre sommeil n'est pas le plus grand bénéfice ici. Ce livre souligne les raisons les plus importantes pour lesquelles vous devriez chercher une source de revenus passifs ou être en train d'en créer une. J'offre aussi des stratégies semi-passives. Planifier sa retraite ne devrait pas causer une grosse migraine, à moins que vous ne pensiez que vous ne pouvez vous préparer pour votre retraite que par le biais d'économies. Si un changement soudain dans votre vie ou l'économie venait à prendre place, vos économies ne seront probablement pas près utiles durant votre retraite. Ce n'est pas un secret que les économies ne sont justes pas suffisantes. Vous aurez des dépenses inattendues dans votre vieil âge et vous sous-estimerez probablement la quantité d'argent que vous devriez économiser. Les gens vivent plus longtemps de nos jours mais cela ne veut pas dire qu'ils veulent travailler plus longtemps. Une source de revenus passifs veut dire que vous aurez constamment des rentrées d'argent. Vous obtiendrez régulièrement une quantité d'argent contrairement aux économies. Cela sera comme obtenir un chèque de paie sans travailler activement.
Le retour à la bière...et au hockey: L'histoire d'Eric Molson
by Helen Antoniou<p>Pour la majorité des Canadiens, le nom de la famille Molson fait partie de l'essence même du Canada. Depuis 1786, année où John Molson fonda sa première brasserie à Montréal, il rime avec bière, hockey et philanthropie. Rares sont cependant ceux qui savent à quel point la famille est passée proche, ces dernières années, de perdre le contrôle de cette entreprise. Le retour à la bière...et au hockey dévoile des détails personnels de la vie et de l'œuvre d'Eric Molson, qui, non seulement, a sauvé l'entreprise familiale, mais lui a permis de connaître la prospérité comme brasserie de classe mondiale au vingt et unième siècle. <p>Bénéficiant d'un accès sans précédent à la famille Molson, Helen Antoniou retrace l'évolution d’Eric Molson depuis sa position de jeune maître brasseur passionné par les aspects chimiques de l'industrie brassicole jusqu'au poste de président du conseil d'administration de Molson. De nature pacifique, il a été aux prises avec de gros ego, a dû composer avec des situations de salles de conseil complexes et a même dû affronter un cousin déstabilisant qui s'efforçait de le tasser sur le côté. Se fondant sur une recherche poussée, Helen Antoniou relate dans le détail comment Eric, un homme introverti, a vaincu son aversion pour les conflits et a transformé un conglomérat en déroute pour le ramener à son activité principale, soit la fabrication de la bière, et finir par en faire un des plus grands brasseurs au monde. S'il a aujourd'hui passé le flambeau à ses fils, membres de la septième génération, sa vision résolue prévaut encore. <p>Récit passionnant du combat d'un homme à la barre d'un géant de l'univers brassicole, Le retour à la bière...et au hockey explique en quoi les principes directeurs d'Eric Molson ont influencé l'avenir de Molson, aussi bien l'entreprise que la famille.</p>

Le système éducatif congolais
by the editors at The World BankCette analyse sectorielle est le produit de la collaboration entre une équipe nationale interministérielle (ministères en charge de l'éducation et ministères partenaires) et une équipe d'appui de la Banque mondiale et du Pôle de Dakar en analyse sectorielle (UNESCO-BREDA). Le rapport présente les principales caractéristiques du système éducatif congolais et vise à évaluer les progrès réalisés dans la période récente, à identifier les contraintes qui pèsent sur son développement ainsi que les marges de manuvres qui pourraient aider le pays à durablement améliorer son système éducatif. Ce rapport offre donc aux décideurs nationaux et à leurs partenaires au développement une base analytique solide pour instruire le dialogue politique et le processus de prise de décision. Le Gouvernement Congolais s'est appuyés sur les résultats de ce rapport pour la préparation d'un plan sectoriel d'éducation visant à être endossé par les partenaires techniques et donc à recevoir l'appui financier des partenaires de l'IMOA-EPT.
Le temps, c'est de l'argent
by Adidas WilsonLorsque vous posez la question à la plupart des gens, ils vous diront qu'ils ne s'attendaient pas à ce que le mouvement FIRE devienne aussi populaire. Renoncer aux plaisirs de la vie et économiser plus de 50% de son revenu pour prendre sa retraite à 30 ou 40 ans n'est pas chose facile. En 2020, le mouvement FIRE est à son apogée. Malheureusement, cela signifie qu’il n’y a plus d’augmentation - la seule voie à suivre est de descendre. Chaque jour, vous voyez l'histoire d'une personne qui a pris sa retraite prématurément et comment elle y est parvenue. C'est ainsi que vous savez que le FEU est à son apogée. Tout investisseur sait que lorsque vous voyez les nouvelles imprimées, vous ne pouvez pas investir car il est trop tard. Mais c'est généralement le moment idéal pour vendre. Les investisseurs essaient de prévoir l'avenir. Construire une vraie richesse ne consiste pas seulement à gagner de l'argent. À un moment donné, vous avez vu des pauvres heureux et des riches misérables. Selon les recherches, la relation entre le bonheur et l'argent est faible. Les dix principes suivants vous aideront à atteindre la vraie richesse, personnellement et financièrement. Devenez profondément motivé - L'argent ne peut pas être considéré comme une motivation profonde. La richesse financière a des avantages externes. Avec de l'argent, vous pouvez avoir de gros comptes bancaires, des maisons de luxe, etc. mais vous ne pouvez pas acheter le bonheur. Étant donné que les objectifs externes ont des limites inhérentes, ils limiteront votre motivation.

Le travail des constellations familiales et l'argent
by Marc Baco« Pourquoi moi ? Pourquoi est-ce que j’ai toujours des problèmes d’argent, et pas mon frère ou ma sœur ? » Peut-être vous êtes-vous déjà posé cette question, sans parvenir à une réponse satisfaisante. Dans ce livre, Marc Baco vous invite à le rejoindre pour un intéressant et révélateur voyage dans les profondeurs des enjeux de notre âme, selon la perspective des constellations familiales, sur la question de la dette et du manque d'argent. Le système familial désigne généralement un membre de la famille pour attirer l’attention sur un déséquilibre. Cette personne apportera une « compensation absolue » à ce dernier, bien qu’elle ne soit pas particulièrement bien placée pour résoudre un problème spécifique — il s’agit en fait d’un choix complètement arbitraire et aléatoire. En procédant de cette manière, la famille crée un équilibre stable — au détriment d’un individu. L'auteur espère que vous trouverez, dans cette présentation d'exemples vécus et concrets, des pistes pour répondre à vos questions et dénouer vos problématiques, pour une maîtrise en conscience des blocages financiers et des dettes.
Lead
by Gary BurnisonLead is a different kind of book. Rather than being the "last word" on leading others, it is meant to be the "first word"--an invitation to the reader to reflect on what the leadership journey means to each and every individual. At its core, Lead will benefit anyone who seeks to inspire, influence, or lead others, whether they are coaches, teachers, pastors, community organizers, politicians--or are in the C-suite. Lead offers an exploration of the essential elements of leadership, which author Gary Burnison defines as: purpose, strategy, people, measure, empower, reward, anticipate, navigate, communicate, listen, and learn--all of which culminate in leading. Instead of taking the left-brain approach of "paradigm shifts" and "leadership models," the author focuses on right-brain constants such as emotional connection, compassion, focusing on others, humility, and managing oneself. Lead readers will find inspiring stories, easy to digest analogies, reflective exercises and evocative images meant to give them pause, draw them in, and encourage introspection.
LEAD: Leadership Effectiveness in Africa and the African Diaspora
by Terri R. Lituchy Bella L. Galperin Betty Jane PunnettThis book considers the new business environment of modern-day Africa, addressing how management styles must adapt to societal changes across the continent. As investment in the continent grows and African businesses begin to look beyond their own borders, there comes a real need to understand leadership from an Afro-centric perspective. This book explores the similarities and differences across African countries, compares them with other regions, and identifies particular cultural realities that managers must consider in order to be successful in the new business environment of modern Africa. Building on their Leadership Effectiveness in Africa and the African Diaspora (LEAD) research project, the authors provide an empirical understanding of African leadership styles and how businesses can harness these more effectively. Drawing on the African Diaspora's values, beliefs, and preferences, as well as anecdotal material from African academics and managers, this book grants a realistic view of leadership in various African countries including Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, and South Africa. It will be invaluable to academics, students, and anyone interested in African and global business leadership from a non-Western perspective.
Lead: How Women in Charge Claim Their Authority
by Ellen M. Snee EdDDuring Ellen Snee&’s eighteen years as a Catholic nun, she gained a number of essential—and, happily, transferable—skills: how to discern a call or deep desire, how to work collaboratively with other women, and how to be a savvy operator within male hierarchies. In Lead, she draws on that knowledge—as well as lessons learned and insights gained from her Harvard dissertation on psychological dimensions of authority for women, two decades of work with executive women as CEO of Fine Line Consulting, and five years as VP of Organizational & Leadership Development at VMware, a global technology leader—to address the exercise of authority by women. Lead guides readers through specific challenges of leadership Snee has identified as most vital to success through her own corporate experience and consulting work: developing resilience, presenting with authority, gaining financial literacy, managing in every direction, and more. Throughout, Snee urges women to find and speak with their unique voice and claim their personal power. Full of illuminating personal and client anecdotes and surprising research insights, Lead is an accessible, instructive, and empowering road map to finding external success—by drawing on the strengths you&’ve carried inside you all along.

Lead and Disrupt: How to Solve the Innovator's Dilemma, Second Edition
by Charles A. O’Reilly III Michael L. TushmanFully revised, this second edition offers a proven strategy for using ambidexterity to build discontinuous growth for mature organizations, and the flexibility to adapt in fast-changing environments. Why do successful firms find it so difficult to adapt in the face of change – to innovate? In the past ten years, the importance of this question has increased as more industries and firms confront disruptive change. The pandemic has accelerated this crisis, collapsing the structures of industries from airlines and medicine to online retail and commercial real estate. Today, leaders in business have an obligation not only to investors but to their employees and communities. At the core of this challenge is helping their organizations to survive in the face of change. The original edition summarized the lessons that the authors as researchers and consultants had learned over the previous two decades. Since then, they have continued to work with leaders of organizations around the world confronting disruptive change. With updates to every chapter, including new examples and analysis, this fully revised edition incorporates the lessons and insights that the authors have gained in the past five years. Two new chapters critically examine the role of organizational culture in promoting or hindering ambidexterity and its underlying fundamental disciplines. Using examples from firms such as Microsoft, General Motors, and Amazon, O'Reilly and Tushman illustrate how leaders can align their organization's cultures to fit the needed strategy, and how ideation, incubation, and scaling approaches, when used altogether, can successfully develop new growth businesses.

by Anne ChowDrawing from over three decades of experience, former CEO of AT&T Business Anne Chow shares how to lead bigger by leveraging inclusion beyond DEI, to elevate your work, workforce, and workplace.For generations, when we&’ve needed to innovate and grow, we&’ve been told to &“think bigger&”—it&’s now time to Lead Bigger. In a world that&’s become more interconnected yet polarized, inclusion has been overly politicized and narrowly defined to issues of gender and race. As a result, we need a new approach to inclusive leadership that goes beyond DEI, harnessing its power for innovation and growth. In Lead Bigger, Anne Chow reframes inclusion as the required leadership competency of expanding our perspectives for greater performance in our work, workforce, and workplace. As former CEO of AT&T Business, she was the first woman of color to hold the position of CEO in the company&’s over one hundred and forty year history. Chow draws from her expertise in transforming organizations to teach you how to create a dynamic environment that engages everyone you and your company interact with—as well as those you wish to be connected to—while adapting to the ever-changing world. This book equips you with the necessary tools to expand your inclusive leadership skills, including prompts, tactics, and enriching insights from leadership visionaries General Stanley McChrystal, Arianna Huffington, and Adam Grant. Chow illuminates a seismic shift in the business world, in which a more humanistic approach is required as technology upends work as we know it. If you&’re committed to advancing work that matters, engaging a dynamic workforce, and fostering an agile workplace, you&’re ready to Lead Bigger.

Lead for the Planet: Five Practices for Confronting Climate Change
by Rae AndreWith melting ice caps in the Arctic causing catastrophic environmental issues, it’s hard to believe that we’ve had to spend so much time convincing each other that climate change is real. Lead for the Planet shifts the focus to how we, the members of Team Humanity, are going to organize to solve the twin issues of climate change and energy evolution. The book channels a broad range of social science perspectives, from anthropology to psychology to economics, to help decision-makers explore how Team Humanity can get this thing done. Lead for the Planet outlines five practices that successful climate leaders will need to adopt, from getting the truth about the state of the planet, to assessing the risks and identifying the interests of key stakeholders, to implementing change within and between organizations and sectors on a global scale. Building on her experience as an organizational psychologist, Rae André shows how these practices comprise an effective model for climate leadership. Lead for the Planet is a guide for the kind of leadership that is necessary to help us all avoid the worst of global warming and to create a clean energy future for the generations to come.
Lead From The Heart: Transformational Leadership For The 21st Century
by Mark C. CrowleyLeadership and engagement expert Mark C. Crowley shows how trading in the old business playbook for heart-led leadership strategies will create purpose-driven, dedicated employees and higher levels of performance. Revised and updated to address the needs of those managing Gen Z and millennial employees in addition to the latest global research on employee engagement.In this thoroughly revised and updated edition of his now classic book, visionary Mark C. Crowley provides the roadmap workplace leaders the world over are seeking: How to most successfully and sustainably inspire and manage other human beings in the post-pandemic era.· Nearly 50 million workers quit their jobs in the U.S. alone in 2021—a record number likely to be exceeded in 2022.· While we might imagine that an opportunity to earn greater pay is the key driver of this &“Great Resignation,&” research shows two-thirds of the reasons people leave jobs boil down to issues related to their engagement and overall well-being.· More specifically, people quit when they feel they aren&’t valued, respected, appreciated, coached—or cared about personally—by their manager and organization.· Thanks in large part to the COVID pandemic and a global reset of what matters most to people in their lives, human beings have profoundly evolved in what they need and want in exchange for their work.· Consequently, a radical change in employee expectations demands that organizations and managers rapidly pivot by embracing leadership practices that match the moment.· The remedy to the Great Resignation is to adopt more humane ways of managing people knowing they inherently lead to infinitely greater engagement not to mention optimal employee performance.· In this new and updated version of his seminal and visionary book, Mark C. Crowley draws upon emerging medical and other scientific discoveries which prove it's the heart, not the mind, that drives human motivation and achievement.· While we&’ve long been led to believe that human beings are essentially rational beings, new research shows that feelings and emotions far more often motivate human behavior and what people care about most and commit themselves to in their lives.· In light of this breakthrough understanding, it&’s become incumbent upon workplace managers to pay great attention to their employees' emotional experience at work—far greater attention than any of us ever believed necessary.· Ironically, most of us were told the heart has no place in workplace management. In fact, most of us were taught that the heart acts like Kryptonite in leadership: it inherently undermines a manager's effectiveness - and lowers performance.· What makes this book so remarkable is that it brilliantly contradicts all those traditional beliefs and proves why people naturally and instinctively respond to managers who care about them personally and support their deep human needs.· To be absolutely clear, there's nothing soft or weak about the Lead From The Heart philosophy. Instead, it represents the future of workplace management and a roadmap to driving uncommon engagement, productivity and profitability when organizations around the world are wanting it most.· Rich with inspiring stories and illuminating research, this book proves that when you lead people with a greater balance of mind and heart, people naturally follow. And they also excel.
