Die Zahl Kleiner Anfragen steigt seit mehreren Legislaturperioden immer weiter an. Der Autor nimmt damit zusammenhangende Klagen aus der OEffentlichen Verwaltung zum Anlass, um zu untersuchen, welche Auswirkungen diese Steigerung auf Arbeitsbelastung und Performanz sowie auf Einstellungen und Praxisverstandnis von Beschaftigten der Ministerialburokratie hat. Dazu analysiert er die Parlamentsstatistik und fuhrt eine Umfrage in mehreren Bundesministerien durch. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Bearbeitung Kleiner Anfragen und deren Rahmenbedingungen die Verwaltung erheblich belasten und in Extremfallen die Funktionsfahigkeit gefahrden koennen. Er empfiehlt daher eine AEnderung der Bundestagsgeschaftsordnung. Auf Basis der Umfrageergebnisse diskutiert der Autor erste Reformvorschlage hierfur.

One simple idea can set you free: Don't take on a problem if it isn't yours! One of the most liberating books in the extraordinary One Minute Manager Library teaches managers an unforgettable lesson: how to have time to do what they want and need to do. The authors tell why managers who accept every problem given them by their staffs become hopeless bottlenecks. With a vivid, humorous, and too-familar scenario they show a manager loaded down by all the monkeys that have jumped from their rightful owners onto his back. Then step by step they show how managers can free themselves from doing everyone else's job and ensure that every problem is handled by the proper staff person. By using Oncken's Four Rules of Monkey Management managers will learn to become effective supervisors of time, energy, and talent -- especially their own.

If you have ever wondered why you are in the office on the weekends and your staff is on the golf course, The One Minute Manager Meets the Monkey is for youit's priceless!

As online distractions increasingly colonize our time, why has productivity become such a vital demonstration of personal and professional competence? When corporate profits are soaring but worker salaries remain stagnant, how does technology exacerbate the demand for ever greater productivity? In Counterproductive Melissa Gregg explores how productivity emerged as a way of thinking about job performance at the turn of the last century and why it remains prominent in the different work worlds of today. Examining historical and archival material alongside popular self-help genres-from housekeeping manuals to bootstrapping business gurus, and the growing interest in productivity and mindfulness software-Gregg shows how a focus on productivity isolates workers from one another and erases their collective efforts to define work limits. Questioning our faith in productivity as the ultimate measure of success, Gregg's novel analysis conveys the futility, pointlessness, and danger of seeking time management as a salve for the always-on workplace.

Immer wieder kommt es bei der Besetzung von Ausschussen zu Pattsituationen zwischen dem Regierungs- und dem Oppositionslager. Der Autor geht der Frage nach, wie mit derartigen Pattsituationen umgegangen werden soll. Dabei berucksichtigt er einerseits die staatsrechtlichen Vorgaben fur die Ausschussbesetzung, die durch die Rechtsprechung des Bundesverfassungsgerichts konturiert wurden. Andererseits tragt er der politischen Praxis, namlich dem regelmassig geschlossenen Agieren von Regierungs- und Oppositionslager in den Ausschussen, Rechnung. Am Ende seiner Untersuchung unterbreitet der Autor einen Regelungsvorschlag zur Aufloesung von Pattsituationen, bei dem alle Massgaben gleichermassen zur Geltung kommen.

The latest no-f**ks-given guide from New York Times bestselling author of the international sensations The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F**k, Get Your Sh*t Together, You Do You, and Calm the F**k Down.

How to stop saying yes when you can't, you shouldn't, or you just don't want to

With 2 million copies sold worldwide, Sarah Knight's bestselling No F*cks Given Guides prove that she's the Queen of No: no to a single extraneous f*ck given, to unwanted obligations, overcommitting, and overcomplicating her life.

For Sarah, saying no is easy. For the rest of us, it's stress-inducing, blood pressure-raising, teeth-grinding hard. But it doesn't have to be. F**k No! is filled with tips, techniques, and practical strategies that will arm you with not only permission to decline, but plenty of ammunition for doing so.

An encyclopedia of examples, a cornucopia of comebacks, a plethora of polite replies: if you're looking to say no (and without being selfish, unlikeable, or mired in missing out), you've come to the right place.
