Jak z úspěšných skupin vznikají skvělé organizace. Ptáci tvoří hejna, vlci smečky a lidé kmeny, skupiny o dvaceti až sto padesáti lidech. Kmeny jsou základním stavebním prvkem jakéhokoli rozsáhlejšího lidského úsilí. Mají větší vliv a význam než týmy, celé podniky či sebeschopnější generální ředitelé. Jsou to právě kmeny, kdo v podniku rozhoduje o tom, zda se novému šéfovi bude dařit nebo zda ho brzy nahradí někdo jiný. Některé kmeny vyžadují od všech svých členů maximální výkony a neustále se rozvíjejí. Jiné dělají jen to, co je nezbytně nutné. Co je příčinou tohoto rozdílu ve výkonnosti? Jejich kmenoví vůdci. Kmenoví vůdci se soustředí na posilování kmenu, přesněji řečeno na rozvíjení kmenové kultury. Pokud se jim to daří, jde kmen od úspěchu k úspěchu. Pro řadu lidí to představuje velkou hádanku: jak to dělají? Když se jich zeptáte, mnozí kmenoví vůdci nedokážou objasnit, co přesně dělají jinak. Po přečtení této knihy vám bude jasné, v čem spočívá jejich úspěch, a navíc je dokážete napodobit.

Navigating workplace challenges often feels like managing a leaky inner tube, where addressing one problem leads to another emerging. The book explores the complexities of prioritizing issues, such as cost reduction versus employee morale, and highlights the cycle of frustration that arises from both failure and success. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of workplace problems, illustrating how solutions can inadvertently create new challenges, ultimately complicating efforts for improvement.

The book explores how organizational challenges often stem from mismanaged priorities, leading to a cycle of frustration and temporary fixes. Zaffron and Logan propose that true transformation occurs when people’s performance is directly addressed, rather than merely adjusting systems. They outline three laws that link performance to language and perceptions, emphasizing the power of future-based language. Drawing on successful case studies from major companies, the authors offer a framework for creating lasting change and fostering a unified vision among employees.

Every organization is composed of tribes—naturally occurring groups of between 20 and 150 people. Until now, only a few leaders could identify and develop their tribes, and those rare individuals were rewarded with loyalty, productivity, and industry-changing innovation. Tribal Leadership shows leaders how to assess, identify, and upgrade their tribes' cultures, one stage at a time. The result is an organization that can thrive in any economy.

When Goose’s parents are killed in a car crash on Christmas Eve, his life changes utterly. Living with his increasingly senile Nan, his dog Mutt is the only thing keeping him sane. His only other friend is Frank, a former friend of his father. Frank’s own life is falling apart and he has recruited Goose to help him carry out petty theft around the city. A year to the day since the accident that changed his life, Goose meets Anthony, a strange man who has forgotten who he is, but seems to know more about others than they know about themselves. When Mutt goes missing, Goose has no choice but to rely on Anthony to help find him. In an adventure that draws in Frank, who’s lost his family, an old lady who’s lost a precious bangle, an elderly doctor who’s lost his wife and mother who’s lost her daughter, Goose follows Anthony across Manchester. But at the centre of the mystery is Anthony himself: who is he, how does he know so much and can he help Goose and the others find what they’re searching for? A delight to read from start to finish, David Logan takes the reader on a terrific journey through love, loss and the quest for home.
