7 Ways to Lead: Evolve Professionally & Personally
by Andre Young<p>A common sense guide to becoming a better leader and achieving a healthy work/life balance in order to live your best life.<p> <p>The number one complaint from many companies is “Our leaders don’t know how to lead!” Why would they? Most people are promoted because they did one thing really well or outlasted their “addicted to average” co-workers/teammates, not because they knew how to lead. Andre Young’s favorite example is “You sold a million dollars worth of product . . . You are now the Sales Manager.” They haven’t proved they can manage or lead anyone; they’ve only proven they can sell a million dollars worth of product . . . their way.<p> <p>Work/Life Harmony is more important now than it’s ever been. The notion of leaving home at the door before entering work and leaving work at the door when entering home is obsolete. The fact that cell phones are always accessible means significant others, relationships, and outside life now enter work with every employee . . . ALL DAY. So, when things are bad intimately, parentally, and socially, it shows up at work with employees trying to do their job in between responding to ten pages of “Hate Texts.” In contrast, when that same employee returns home, their phone may continue to ring with work emails, work texts, etc. If they respond, they’ve effectively communicated it’s okay to invade their time. If they don’t, it doesn’t erase the anxiety of not responding or knowing a pile of work is building up. There may not be a true balance between both realms, but 7 Ways to Lead helps leaders find and create harmony between the two.<p>

75 Jahre Grundgesetz: Wie sich die Gewaltenteilung im Lauf der Zeit verändert hat
by Jochen TheurerDieses aufschlussreiche Buch beschreibt, wo und wie sich die Macht heute in Deutschland tatsächlich verteilt. Obwohl Art. 20 Abs. 2 GG noch genauso lautet wie 1949, hat sich das Verhältnis zwischen Exekutive, Legislative und Judikative zum Teil stark verändert. Beispielsweise ist das Bundesverfassungsgericht im Verhältnis zum Bundestag tendenziell mächtiger geworden und treibt das Parlament durch bahnbrechende Entscheidungen immer wieder vor sich her – vom Recht auf informationelle Selbstbestimmung über das „3. Geschlecht“ bis hin zum Klimaschutz. Zudem spielen internationale Player eine immer größere Rolle: War das Grundgesetz vor 75 Jahren die höchste Rechtsnorm in Deutschland, bestreitet mittlerweile kein Jurist mehr ernsthaft den Vorrang von EU-Recht vor der deutschen Verfassung. Dieser informative Einblick in die komplexe Welt des Rechts stellt anschaulich dar, wie sich der Inhalt von Gesetzen trotz identischem Wortlaut verändern kann.

8 Billion and Counting: How Sex, Death, and Migration Shape Our World
by Jennifer D. SciubbaA provocative description of the power of population change to create the conditions for societal transformation. As the world nears 8 billion people, the countries that have led the global order since World War II are becoming the most aged societies in human history. At the same time, the world’s poorest and least powerful countries are suffocating under an imbalance of population and resources. In 8 Billion and Counting, political demographer Jennifer D. Sciubba argues that the story of the twenty-first century is less a story about exponential population growth, as the previous century was, than it is a story about differential growth—marked by a stark divide between the world’s richest and poorest countries. Drawing from decades of research, policy experience, and teaching, Sciubba employs stories and statistics to explain how demographic trends, like age structure and ethnic composition, are crucial signposts for future violence and peace, repression and democracy, poverty and prosperity. Although we have a diverse global population, demographic trends often follow predictable patterns that can help professionals across the corporate, nonprofit, government, and military sectors understand the global strategic environment. Through the lenses of national security, global health, and economics, Sciubba demonstrates the pitfalls of taking population numbers at face value and extrapolating from there. Instead, she argues, we must look at the forces in a society that amplify demographic trends and the forces that dilute them, particularly political institutions, or the rules of the game. She shows that the most important skills in demographic analysis are naming and being aware of your preferences, rethinking assumptions, and asking the right questions. Provocative and engrossing, 8 Billion and Counting is required reading for business leaders, policy makers, and anyone eager to anticipate political, economic, and social risks and opportunities. A deeper understanding of fertility, mortality, and migration promises to point toward the investments we need to make today to shape the future we want tomorrow.

8 Things We Hate About IT
by Susan Cramm"Why can't you get what you really want from IT? All you desire is a ready-and-willing partner to help you exploit IT to drive your business. Instead, you get endless rules and regulations, not to mention processes, projects, and technologies that deliver too little, too late, for too much. It's frustrating!How to build a relationship that puts you firmly in control and produces the business results you need? In The 8 Things We Hate About IT, Susan Cramm provides the answers.Start by understanding differences between operational and IT managers - in backgrounds, personality, pressures, and incentives. Cramm explains how differences prevent operational managers and IT from communicating what, why, and how they do what they do.Citing case studies and stories, the author then presents practical strategies for overcoming the difficulty. These include seeing things from your IT partners' perspective, developing a single version of 'truth,' and assuming accountability for IT just as you've done for management of your firm's financial and human resources.Brutally honest, provocative, and filled with sound advice, this book reveals that the key to solving the IT problem is decidedly un-IT: it's a deeper understanding of human behavior, including how to apply your leadership skills to the world of IT."
