Jennifer Garvey Berger Knihy

Kniha přináší nový pohled na osobní zrání v dospělosti, a to především v pracovním kontextu. Na rozdíl od rozšířené představy o tom, že po dosažení osmnácti let jsme dospělí, autorka na praktických příkladech ukazuje čtyři různé způsoby myšlení, s nimiž se u dospělých setkáváme. Každá z těchto forem mysli v sobě zahrnuje formu předchozí a nabízí nové a komplexnější porozumění světu. Psychologem Robertem Keganem inspirovaný pohled na psychologický vývoj dospělých, jak ho autorka předkládá, umožňuje porozumět nově rozdílům, které jsme dříve připisovali osobnostním charakteristikám, jež jsme pokládali za prakticky stálé. Vývojová psychologie však ukazuje, že mnoho rozdílů, se kterými se setkáváme, je vývojového charakteru: Můžeme nejen doufat v jejich změnu, ale pomocí popsaných postupů tuto změnu podpořit.

Listen to people in every field and you'll hear a call for more sophisticated leadership—for leaders who can solve more complex problems than the human race has ever faced. But these leaders won't simply come to the fore; we have to develop them, and we must cultivate them as quickly as is humanly possible. Changing on the Job is a means to this end. As opposed to showing readers how to play the role of a leader in a "paint by numbers" fashion, Changing on the Job builds on theories of adult growth and development to help readers become more thoughtful individuals, capable of leading in any scenario. Moving from the theoretical to the practical, and employing real-world examples, author Jennifer Garvey Berger offers a set of building blocks to help cultivate an agile workforce while improving performance. Coaches, HR professionals, thoughtful leaders, and anyone who wants to flourish on the job will find this book a vital resource for developing their own capacities and those of the talent that they support.

Author and consultant Jennifer Garvey Berger has worked with all types of leaders - from top executives at Google to nonprofit directors who are trying to make a dent in social change. She hears a version of the same plea from every client in nearly every sector around the world: "I know that complexity and uncertainty are testing my instincts, but I don't know which to trust. Is there some way to know what to do when I can't know what's next?" Her newest work is an answer to this plea. Using her background in adult development, complexity theories, and leadership consultancy, Garvey Berger discerns five pernicious and pervasive "mind traps" to frame the book. These are: the desire for simple stories, our sense that we are right, our desire to get along with others in our group, our fixation with control, and our constant quest to protect and defend our egos. In addition to understanding why these natural impulses steer us wrong in a fast-moving world, leaders will get powerful questions and approaches that help them escape these patterns.

We humans have a natural inclination towards connection, engagement and creativity - all necessary skills to thrive in complexity. At the same time, the stress caused by uncertainty and ambiguity can make it hard to tap into this inclination. This book offers a set of practices that help you not only understand complexity but actually hack into your nervous system to bring your natural capacities back online. We do this by helping your body's natural complexity management gifts take charge: by learning to notice and shift our nervous systems through rest, movement, and experimentation; by developing a new relationship to our emotions; and by leaning into connections and love. Following the narrative of Unlocking Leadership Mindtraps, this book illustrates how paying close attention to our body, redefining our emotional experiences, and shifting our engagement to our surrounding environment can transform the anxiety, exhaustion, and overwhelm that complexity creates. Instead, we can cultivate better connection, engagement, and creativity--thereby creating the conditions for us and those around us to thrive in a complex world by making best use of the internal natural resources we already have.

Jennifer Garvey Berger har gennem sin forskning i lederskab og kompleksitet fundet frem til fem af de mest skadelige og udbredte tankefælder, mindtraps, når det drejer sig om at lede i kompleksitet. Denne bog kortlægger tankefælderne og ser på, hvordan de har været nyttige for os indtil nu i en simpel verden, og undersøger, hvorfor de ikke længere er gavnlige. Bogen giver dig også et sæt effektive nøgler til at låse fælderne op, så du kan slippe fri, og finde nye veje. Du vil opdage, at: 1. vi sidder fast i simple historier 2. vi sidder fast i vished 3. vi sidder fast i konsensus 4. vi sidder fast i kontrol 5. vi sidder fast i vores ego. Bogen er skrevet til dig, uanset hvilken slags leder du er, om du er leder på højt eller lavt niveau, om du har en officiel lederstilling, eller om du bare forsøger at være chef i dit eget liv. Hvis dit liv føles mere komplekst, mindre forudsigeligt og mere forvirrende, end det engang gjorde, og hvis du synes, at dine rygmarvsreaktioner af og til fører dig på afveje, kan denne bog forhåbentlig få dig til at forstå hvorfor. Den kan hjælpe dig til at se nye muligheder, skabe nye løsninger og skabe forandringer, som vil gøre dit liv nemmere, og gøre den øgede kompleksitet til en ven fremfor en fjende.
