Powerful - Building A Culture Of Freedom And Responsibility (Paperback): Patty McCord Powerful - Building A Culture Of Freedom And Responsibility (Paperback)
Patty McCord
R187 Discovery Miles 1 870 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

When it comes to recruiting, motivating, and creating great teams, Patty McCord says most companies have it all wrong. McCord helped create the unique and high-performing culture at Netflix, where she was chief talent officer. In her new book, Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility, she shares what she learned there and elsewhere in Silicon Valley.

McCord advocates practicing radical honesty in the workplace, saying good-bye to employees who don’t fit the company’s emerging needs, and motivating with challenging work, not promises, perks, and bonus plans. McCord argues that the old standbys of corporate HR―annual performance reviews, retention plans, employee empowerment and engagement programs―often end up being a colossal waste of time and resources. Her road-tested advice, offered with humor and irreverence, provides readers a different path for creating a culture of high performance and profitability.

Powerful will change how you think about work and the way a business should be run.

Professions, Competence and Informal Learning (Hardcover): Graham Cheetham, Geoff Chivers Professions, Competence and Informal Learning (Hardcover)
Graham Cheetham, Geoff Chivers
R3,806 Discovery Miles 38 060 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book takes a fresh look at professions - their history and sociology, and at the nature both of professional practice and professional competence. Based on research by the authors across 20 varied professions, the book offers an innovative model of professional competence and throws new light on how competence is acquired. It identifies a range of informal learning processes, which seem to be just as important to becoming competent as formal training. As a result, the authors suggest a paradigm of professional development that combines informal and formal learning and also brings together academic and competence-based approaches. Professions, Competence and Informal Learning provides practical advice to professional developers on programme design as well as tips for individual professionals on how to exploit their informal learning opportunities. It draws on the research to forecast the future skills needs of professionals and suggests how professional development programmes may need to change in response. The book should be of value to anyone who is interested in professional competence, whether as a professional educator or developer, or as an individual professional. It is also potentially of use to trainers and educators in non-professional areas, especially those with an interest in informal learning.

R5,925 Discovery Miles 59 250 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Although in recent years some emerging economies have improved their performance in terms of research and development (R&D) investment, outputs and innovative capacity, these countries are still blighted by extreme poverty, inequality and social exclusion. Hence, emerging countries are exposed to conditions which differ quite substantially from the dominant OECD model of innovation policy for development and welfare. This Research Handbook contributes to the debate by looking at how innovation theory, policy and practice interact, and explains different types of configurations in countries that are characterized by two contrasting but mutually reinforcing features: systemic failure and resourcefulness. Focusing on innovation governance and public policies, it aims to understand related governance failures and to explore options for alternative, more efficient approaches. This book brings to the fore new concepts, theories and questions about the Global South, across multiple disciplines. It discusses specific country cases, exploring overarching patterns and lessons that address development bottlenecks and policy designs aimed at improving quality of life and economic progress in emerging economies. Defining more adequate development strategies by balancing economic well-being with social inclusion, this book will be of great interest to scholars, students and policy makers of innovation, growth and development studies.

Common hiring practices are destined for failure-here's how to hire the right people and build a company culture designed for long-term success What's more important in a job candidate-skills or attitude? Mark Murphy argues for the latter, and Hiring for Attitude provides the data to back it up. In a major study by Murphy's company, Leadership IQ, 46 percent of all new hires fail within their first 18 months-and 89 percent fail for attitudinal reasons, not skills. Hiring for Attitude explains how to change your hiring practices to avoid this common pitfall and lead your company to long-term success. It takes you step by step through the process of shedding hiring techniques destined for failure and, instead, focus on the what matters in a candidate: attitude.
