'One of the World's all-time great leaders' Professor Anita Elberse, Harvard Business School What does it take to lead a team to world-class success over a sustained period of time? Sir Alex Ferguson is one of the few leaders who truly knows. In his 38 years in management, Sir Alex won an astonishing 49 trophies and helped grow Manchester United into one of the biggest commercial brands in the world. In this inspirational and straight-talking book, Sir Alex reveals the secrets behind his record-breaking career. LEADING is structured around the key skills that Sir Alex values most highly. It includes subjects we immediately associate with his managerial style: Discipline, Control, Teamwork and Motivation. But it also addresses subjects that are less obvious but no less important when seeking success: Delegation, Data Analysis and Dealing with Failure. Written with the investor Sir Michael Moritz, a longstanding friend of Sir Alex, LEADING is packed with insight, wisdom, humour and honesty. The individual stories inevitably concern themselves with football, and the phenomenal success that came along the way, but the lessons can be applied by anyone. Whether you run a business, teach in a classroom, or work in a small team, LEADING will help you become a better leader.

Almost thirty years ago, Michael Moritz, then a young journalist at 'Time' magazine, was allowed exclusive access to the inner workings of a cutting-edge technology company to tell the story of its first decade in business. 'The Little Kingdom: The Private Story of Apple Computer' brought readers into the childhood homes of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, showed how they dropped out of college and founded Apple in 1976, and charted the company s rise from basement brainstorming to colossal empire. Now, after spending almost twenty-five years at Sequoia Capital, the much admired private investment partnership, Moritz, who has since served as a board member of a remarkable list of important companies including Yahoo!, Google and PayPal, offers his contemporary perspective on the accomplishments of Steve Jobs and the extraordinary comeback of Apple in this revised edition of his now-classic work. Required reading for anyone who has ever listened to music on an iPod, downloaded an app onto an iPhone, browsed on a Mac, or is curious about the distinctive attributes of enduring companies, 'Return to the Little Kingdom' is the only book that explains how Steve Jobs came to found the company that changed our world - twice.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 1998 im Fachbereich VWL - Sonstiges, Note: 1.3, Universitat Regensburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Im Rahmen dieser Diplomarbeit soll untersucht werden, inwieweit ein Interessenausgleich zwischen Arbeitslosen und Arbeitnehmern, die ihre Arbeitszeit verkurzen wollen, mit dem Ziel einer hoheren Beschaftigungsquote erreicht werden kann. Dabei werden unter dem Begriff "Beschaftigung" explizit auch Formen jenseits der Erwerbsarbeit miteinbezogen und wird gepruft, welche Beschafti-gungsformen zu einer Entlastung des Arbeitsmarktes beitragen konnen. Einen zentralen Stellenwert nimmt die Berucksichtigung der Arbeitszeitpraferenzen von erwerbsfahigen Personen ein. Durch die Pramisse der Freiwilligkeit, eine Arbeit aufzunehmen bzw. die Arbeitszeit zu reduzieren, soll erreicht werden, dass alle daran beteiligten Personen (derzeitige Arbeitnehmer, derzeitige Arbeitslose, Arbeitgeber) im okonomischen Sinne bessergestellt (bzw. zumindest nicht schlechter gestellt) werden

Wenn Worte einf hlsam zum Spiegel unserer Seele werden, dann k nnen sie uns zu all jenen Orten entf hren, an denen wir unserer Heimat und unserem authentischen Sein begegnen. Hier wo die Vielfalt unserer Gef hle und Stimmungen sichtbar wird, wo wir unseren Sehns chten und unserer Liebe ohne Angst in die Augen schauen k nnen, ist der Raum f r wunderbares Teilen. Teilen der Sprache, von Erfahrungen und Bildern, wie sie Poesie bieten kann. Im Buch "Die Magie der Worte" von Michael Moritz erh lt der Leser einen Einblick in die ganz pers nlichen Sprachbilder des Autors. Moritz verzichtet dabei bewusst auf komplexe lyrische Wortkombinationen. Viel mehr m chte er mit seinen Texten, unmittelbar seine Empfindungen zum Ausdruck bringen. Manche Texte sind im Anschluss von Meditationen entstanden. Andere nach Begegnungen und Situationen, die den Autor auf besondere Art und Weise ber hrt haben. Das Buch bietet neben den poetischen Texten auch eine Anleitung im Umgang mit ihnen und eine Beschreibung m glicher Leserituale. Hier finden Leser Anregungen wann und wo das Lesen von Poesie eine besondere Wirkung auf uns aus ben kann. Denn der passende Kontext kann unsere Leseerfahrung noch verst rken.
