Job Social

DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. Scopul tău adevărat este să îi devii consilier, să știi să-i explici de ce are nevoie de un anumit produs ori serviciu și cu ce îi va îmbunătăți viața. Mai important decât semnarea unui contract este ca, în urma ei, clientul să vrea să păstreze relația cu tine, să vă împrieteniți și să beneficiați amândoi în viitor de schimbul de bunuri și de idei. Este vorba despre o filozofie complexă și onestă, diferită de cea a majorității vânzătorilor. Azi, mai mult ca oricând, la baza oricărei vânzări se află relațiile interumane.

Weaving the brackish humor of Chuck Palahniuk with the empathy of Barbara Ehrenreich, J. R. Helton brings to life an obscured underside of the American psyche in this unflinching account of life inside the working class of Texas in the 1980s. We first meet Helton as a struggling writer succumbing to the bleak reality of what it means to support himself and a wife. That despair is transformed into resilience as Helton insightfully narrates his wayward years, enduring hateful employers and mind-numbing manual labor.

DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. Cercetările lui Leidy Klotz au condus la un adevăr simplu: indiferent dacă este vorba despre construirea unor jucării cu piese de lego, planurile de urbanizare, sendvișuri sau strategiile de afaceri, mintea e tentată să adauge, în loc să scadă. Adunăm instinctiv lucruri care nu ne trebuie neapărat. Le oferim stimulente celor cu performanțe remarcabile, dar nu ne gândim să înlăturăm obstacolele din calea lor. Ne însușim idei noi, care să ne facă lumea mai bună, dar nu renunțăm mai întâi la cele învechite și dăunătoare.

America confronts a jobs crisis that has two faces. The first is obvious when we read the newspapers or talk with our friends and neighbors: there are simply not enough jobs to go around. The second jobs crisis is more subtle but no less serious: far too many jobs fall below the standard that most Americans would consider decent work. A quarter of working adults are trapped in jobs that do not provide living wages, health insurance, or much hope of upward mobility.

Corporate executives may be becoming less loyal to their employees, but those same employees still want to be loyal to their company.

La stratégie est le nœud de toutes les décisions et la matrice de la plupart des tragédies.

Laissez-vous guider à travers cette fresque percutante, de Sun Tzu à Clausewitz pour les champs de bataille - option plein air - et de Michael Steve Jobs pour l'univers économique - option business.
