Este libro abarca 100 reflexiones sobre los cambios transformacionales en las organizaciones. Comprender tu cultura organizacional real frente a la cultura deseada, la cultura local y la de tus stakeholders te ayudará a establecer la mejor estrategia de gestión del cambio para reducir las fricciones y los puntos de resistencia incluso antes de comenzar. El éxito en la transformación tiene mucho más que ver con las personas involucradas en el cambio que con el proceso de cambio en sí. El propósito de este libro es proporcionarte algunas reflexiones sobre qué tener en cuenta antes de implementar un cambio. Hay muchos libros que hablan sobre el proceso de cambio y también hay una gran variedad de libros que hablan sobre Inteligencia Cultural e Inclusividad en general o sobre cómo adaptarse a culturas específicas. Hay muy pocos que aborden cómo la cultura afecta la manera de recibir los cambios, cómo perfilar la verdadera cultura de una empresa para luego planificar el cambio y cómo gestionar el cambio desde un punto de vista cultural y de comportamientos específicos. Es decir, comprender realmente las motivaciones individuales y subyacentes de cada uno de los stakeholders, tenerlos en cuenta y elaborar estrategias para abordar los principales puntos de resistencia incluso antes de comenzar a planificar el cambio. Las ideas y consideraciones de este libro se basan en la información y las experiencias adquiridas a través de mi interacción con más de 7.000 profesionales y ejecutivos de todo el mundo y mi conocimiento sobre el Análisis del Comportamiento y la Inteligencia Cultural. De ninguna manera se pretende ofrecer una guía completa sobre el cambio transformacional, sino más bien, generar una profunda reflexión. Este libro puede ser especialmente inspirador para las pequeñas y medianas empresas (PYME) que buscan superar un punto de estiramiento, perciben un techo de cristal en su desarrollo o simplemente desean pasar al siguiente nivel.

El siglo XXI nos sorprendió con veloces cambios originados por la globalización, que obligan a las organizaciones a asumir innumerables retos como nuevas y mejores propuestas para salir de la crisis, buscando siempre estar por delante de la competencia en la eterna lucha por conquistar al consumidor. Con frecuencia oímos hablar acerca del liderazgo como una de las llaves que abre las puertas hacia el máximo beneficio de la empresa. Sin embargo, más allá de él, resulta indispensable la creación de una cultura empresarial en la que todos estén involucrados, que comienza con el compromiso sincero de un cambio de conducta en la alta gerencia. En este libro, David Fischman comparte interesantes reflexiones basadas en historias reales, así como analogías y fábulas sobre situaciones cotidianas que se aplican bien el terreno de la vida corporativa. Todo esto sazonado con gráficos de humor y cuadros de ayuda para identificar de forma sencilla los puntos débiles en los que urge intervenir.

Who will lead your workforce during rapid change? Gallup research reveals: It’s the manager. While the world’s workplace has been going through historic change, the practice of management has been stuck in time for decades. The new workforce — especially younger generations — wants their work to have deep mission and purpose. They don’t want old-style command-and-control bosses. They want coaches who inspire them, communicate with them frequently and develop their strengths. Who is the most important person in your organization to lead your teams through these changes? Decades of global Gallup research reveal: It’s your managers. They are the ones who make or break your organization’s success. Packed with 52 discoveries from Gallup’s largest study of the future of work, It’s the Manager shows leaders and managers how to adapt their organizations to rapid change — from new workplace demands to the challenges of managing remote employees, the rise of artificial intelligence, gig workers, and attracting and keeping today’s best employees. Great managers maximize the potential of every team member and drive your organization’s growth. And they give every one of your employees what they want most: a great job and a great life. This is the future of work. It’s the Manager includes a unique code to take the CliftonStrengths assessment, which reveals your top five strengths, as well as supplemental content available on Gallup’s online workplace platform.

"Most people believe their emotions are automatic reactions to events. Events happen and trigger emotions, and that is all there is to it. Few realize that their emotions are determined by what they think, by how they interpret events, and not by the events themselves. Epstein provides techniques for gaining control of emotions and putting them to positive use while also developing the theoretical insights behind such control."--

Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Visual Research Methods is a guide for students, researchers and teachers in the social sciences who wish to explore and actively use a visual dimension in their research. This book offers an integrated approach to doing visual research, showing the potential for building convincing case studies using a mix of visual forms including: archive images, media, maps, objects, buildings, and video interviews. Examples of the visual construction of ‘place’, social identity and trends of analysis are given in the first section of the book, whilst the essays in the second section highlight the astonishing creativity and innovation of four visual researchers. Each detailed example serves as a touchstone of quality and analysis in research, with themes ranging from the ethnography of a Venezuelan cult goddess to the forensic photography of the skeleton of a fourteenth-century nobleman. They give a keen sense of the motives, philosophies and benefits of using visual research methods. This volume will be of practical interest to those embarking on visual research as well as more experienced researchers. Key concerns include the power of images and their changing significance in a world of cross – mediation, techniques of analysis and ethical issues, and how to unlock the potential of visual data for research.
