Mit "Lean in" brachte Sheryl Sandberg Selbstverstandlichkeit in das Thema Frauen und Fuhrung. Sich einbringen, die Hand heben und sich trauen koennen sind wichtige Teile des Erfolgsrezeptes von Frau-sein. "Lean back" greift dieses Verstandnis auf und erweitert es um einen balanceschaffenden Gegenimpuls: Sich zurucklehnen, Kraft aus sich heraus schoepfen, auf sich vertrauen und wissen, was gut fur einen ist, das ist der Brennstoff des Erfolgs. Nur wer Abstand gewinnt, sieht das grosse Ganze. Lean back bedeutet nicht, sich einfach entspannt zuruckzulehnen sondern das Einnehmen der richtigen Haltung und Perspektive, um als Frau maximale Wirkung zu entfalten. Lean back und Lean in sind wie das Ying und Yang von Fuhrung und Erfolg. Das eine kann ohne das andere nicht bestehen und nur zusammen entwickelt sich die Dynamik, die notwendig ist, um nachhaltig erfolgreich zu sein. In Lean back kommen Frauen in Fuhrungspositionen aus den unterschiedlichsten Bereichen und Industrien zu Wort. Sie beschreiben ihre Erfahrungen und teilen ihre Lebens- und Berufsgeschichten. "Frau in Fuhrung" kann viele Gesichter haben. Viele Wege fuhren nach Rom - es gibt nicht das eine Rezept, nur viele spannende Lebensentwurfe und -wege. Lean back bietet eine Vielfalt an Rollenmodellen und bietet damit eine erweiterte Perspektive.Im Fokus von Lean back liegen die Arbeit an der eigenen Haltung und das Persoenlichkeitswachstum fur Frauen, die Verantwortung ubernehmen wollen.

Hier kann ich Tag fur Tag uben, ohne dass ich an Ansehen verlieren werde. Hier beginnt der Siegeszug der Nein-Sager. Denn schlussendlich sind Nein-Sager erfolgreicher.

Die Leser des Buches werden von 13 Burnout-betroffenen Menschen in ihre Lebenserzahlungen mitgenommen. Diese Erzahlungen konnten sie alle erst jetzt aus der ruckwartigen Perspektive aufschreiben, obwohl bei allen so etwas wie eine Ahnung der Zusammenhange wahrend des Burnout-Prozesses anklang. Zu schmerzlich ware es gewesen, sich einzugestehen, dass die eingeschlagene Richtung nicht stimmt bzw. den jeweiligen Alltag nicht schaffen zu koennen, da wir in einem Burnout-Prozess unserer Gesellschaft meist die Deutungshoheit lassen: Du bist zu schwach, Du bist ein Versager, andere schaffen das, das musst Du auch schaffen, denk dran, was Du dafur investiert hast!' Doch im Nachhinein haben sich alle erlaubt, selbst zu deuten, was sie erlebt haben, und bezeichnen die Erfahrung im Burnout als entscheidend wichtiges Erleben in ihrem Leben hin zu einem wesensnaheren Alltag. Die Retroperspektive erlaubt es allen den Prozess als wichtige Richtungsanderung und Reifung zu sehen und doch hatten alle sehr gerne ihren Burnout-Prozess fruhzeitiger verlassen, hatten sie gewusst wie. Alle haben aber auch verstanden und dargestellt, warum es bei ihnen zum Burnout kommen 'musste'. Von Betroffenen lernen heisst also auch die Frage zu beantworten, inwieweit sich ein Burnout-Prozess fruhzeitig bemerken lasst und ob es bewahrte Exit-Strategien dafur gibt. Des weiteren kommt die Frage auf, ob es eine Burnout-Pravention geben kann. Dieses Buch gibt daher 13 persoenliche Antworten.

'It's high time we expose and remedy the pseudo-feminist marketing malarkey holding women back under the guise of empowerment' Amanda Montell, author of Wordslut ________________ Brands profit by telling women who they are and how to be. Now they've discovered feminism and are hell bent on selling 'fempowerment' back to us. But behind the go-girl slogans and the viral hash-tags has anything really changed? In Brandsplaining, Jane Cunningham and Philippa Roberts expose the monumental gap that exists between the women that appear in the media around us and the women we really are. Their research reveals how our experiences, wants and needs - in all forms - are ignored and misrepresented by an industry that fails to understand us.

We've eaten Alar with our apples and PCBs with our fish, drunk arsenic with our water, breathed asbestos in our schools. Someone sounded the alarm, someone else said we were safe, and both had science on their side. Whom are we to trust? How are we to know? Amid this chaos of questions and conflicting information, Aaron Wildavsky arrives with just what the beleaguered citizen needs: a clear, fair, and factual look at how the rival claims of environmentalists and industrialists work, what they mean, and where to start sorting them out. Working with his students at a risk analysis center, Wildavsky examined all the evidence behind the charges and countercharges in several controversial cases involving environmental health and public safety. Here he lays out these cases in terms an average citizen can understand, weighs the merits of the claims of various parties, and offers reasoned judgments on the government's response. From Love Canal to Times Beach, from DDT to Agent Orange, acid rain, and global warming, from saccharin to asbestos, nuclear waste, and radon, Wildavsky shows how we can achieve an informed understanding of the contentious environmental issues that confront us daily. The book supports the conclusion Wildavsky reached himself, both as a citizen committed to the welfare of the earth and its inhabitants, and as a social scientist concerned with how public policy is made: though it is bad to be harmed, it is worse to be harmed in the name of health.

In diesem Buch wird eine klare Analyse der BREXIT-Widerspruche von Premierministerin Theresa Mays Global Britain-Politik und der Rolle der Finanzmarkte - bei Bankenaufsicht in einem Umfeld mit drohendem ITALEXIT und transatlantischen Trump-Handelskonflikten - durchgefuhrt. Es beantwortet ganz aktuell die wichtigsten Fragen zum BREXIT: Wie ist das historische BREXIT-Referendum in Grossbritannien abgelaufen, welches sind die Hintergrunde des anstehenden EU-Austritts und welche Folgen fur Deutschland, Europa und die Weltwirtschaft sind absehbar? Die BREXIT-Entscheidung ist fur Europa ein Jahrhundertereignis, das die EU schwacht und die Machtgewichte global verschiebt. Die EU hat an Anziehungskraft verloren, sie ist nicht im Einklang mit dem 21. Jahrhundert, das asiatisch, digital und innovationsstark ist. Es zeigt sich, dass indirekt ein Weg von der Bankenkrise zur Anti-Immigrationswelle und zum EU-Austritt fuhrte. Zudem war das Referendumsergebnis stark verzerrt von einer grob fehlerhaften Infobroschure der Cameron-Regierung, die den zu erwartenden Einkommensverlust als Effekt eines EU-Austritts verschwieg - mit dieser Information hatte sich eine klare Pro-EU-Mehrheit ergeben. Ein zweites Referendum? EU-Reformen? Noetig ist eine Neo-EU, die besser konstruiert ist. Die 2., erweiterte Auflage mit dem aktuellen Stand der Diskussion zum BREXIT.

Kommunale Nagelstudios, schwerfallige Bedenkentrager, Steuerverschwendung, Beamtenmentalitat, Versorgungsstation fur ausgediente Politiker - viele falsche Bilder und Vorstellungen zur kommunalen Wirtschaft sind fest im oeffentlichen Bewusstsein verankert. Immer wieder werden die gleichen Stigmatisierungen kolportiert, mit denen der Kommunalwirtschaft fragwurdige Zuschreibungen angeheftet werden. Das Sachbuch klart gut verstandlich und nachvollziehbar uber weit verbreitete Irrtumer auf. Manche dieser falschen Annahmen halt sich deshalb so zah, weil sie auch in der politischen und publizistischen Zunft schlichtweg ungepruft von einem zum anderen ubernommen werden. Dieses unbedarfte "Beharrungsvermoegen" popularer Irrtumer ist nicht zu unterschatzen. Die Autoren beleuchten anhand vieler aktueller Beispiele aus der kommunalen Praxis den Hintergrund und Wahrheitsgehalt dieser popularen Missverstandnisse.
