Why are men still winning at work? If women have equal leadership
ability, why are they so under-represented at the top in business
and society? Why are we still living in a man's world? And why do
we accept it? In this provocative book, Gill Whitty-Collins looks
beyond the facts and figures on gender bias and uncovers the
invisible discrimination that continues to sabotage us in the
workplace and limits our shared success. Addressing both men and
women and pulling no punches, she sets out the psychology of gender
diversity from the perspective of real personal experience and
shares her powerful insights on how to tackle gender equality.
'Kind, realistic and genuinely helpful' Observer 'Bravo on the
publication of this witty, wise guide to solo working' Alice
Lascelles 'Filled to the brim with advice . . . Such a brilliant
book' Emma Gannon Whether by choice or circumstance, as a
freelancer or a company employee working from home, more of us are
becoming solo workers than ever before. But once you've made the
leap, how to do you actually work well in isolation? And how can
you thrive while working alone? Picking up where the freelancer
bibles stop, Solo addresses what we gain but also miss when we
shift from the structure of an office environment to the solitary
confines of our homes or studios. Blending the latest research in
psychology, economics and social science with guided
self-examination and more than ten years of freelance experience,
Rebecca Seal shows you how to stay resilient, productive and
focused in a company of one. Practical and inspiring, she also
explores the idea of meaningful work and helps you define your own
success.
As organizations shift to depend more on team-based structures, the
pressure to develop high-performing teams is more critical than
ever. In the modern work environment, teams are expected to embrace
change, navigate complexity, and collaborate well under pressure
all while delivering exceptional results and forming productive
relationships. While it is crucial to have talented, bright people
within a team, there is a dynamic that is even more essential to
overall team effectiveness. This dynamic is "Team Emotional
Intelligence" (Team EQ). While most people are familiar with
emotional intelligence (EQ) when it comes to individuals, the power
of how EQ relates to the entire team has not been well-understood
until now. Insights from the latest research on team emotional
intelligence and TalentSmartEQ's research trends from working with
over 200 teams (with 2000+ team members) combine to bring EQ
know-how to the team level. Team Emotional Intelligence 2.0
delivers practical strategies and showcases how an emotionally
intelligent team is far more than the sum of its parts. This book
focuses on the four key skill areas of Team EQ: Team Emotion
Awareness, Team Emotion Management, Internal Team Relationships,
and External Team Relationships, and it delivers 53 strategies and
a step-by-step process for increasing team EQ skills so team
leaders and anyone who's a member of a team can achieve peak
performance and reach their goals. Dr. Greaves, Evan Watkins, and
their contributing team of experts begin with a life and death
story of team failure that illustrates how emotions can drive team
decisions and lead to disaster. They share a proven approach to
helping teams understand Team EQ skills, build these skills into
strengths, and use them to sustain positive momentum and achieve
peak performance. Strategies for remote and hybrid teams working
virtually offer targeted approaches to bonding, communicating,
tough conversations, and decision making as modern workplaces
transform. Like she did with the best-selling Emotional
Intelligence 2.0 (at 2 million copies sold and counting), Dr.
Greaves and her team take complex concepts and translate them into
easy-to-understand skills that can be used immediately and
developed further over time. As organizations increasingly rely on
getting work done through teams, the understanding and development
of team EQ skills is more relevant and impactful than ever.
Management leaders must constantly be prepared to correct the
deviant behaviors of their employees and redirect the negative
energy for the betterment of all. Ignoring this type of destructive
behavior not only spoils the overall work environment for
employees, but also risks the loss of quality, talented personnel.
Analyzing Workplace Deviance in Modern Organizations is an
essential reference source containing innovative research on best
practices for adopting and implementing employee deviance remedial
strategies. While highlighting topics including conflict
resolution, cultural issues, and deviant behavior, this book is
ideally designed for executives, managers, directors, business
professionals, industry practitioners, human resources managers,
policymakers, researchers, academicians, and students working in
management, organizational behavior, human resources, and employee
relations fields.
