Living in Company is a book designed for reflection - self-inquiry - finding personal answers. The chapters are short and designed to be read one at a time: read and reflect. The book is an invitation to try new perspectives: it is for individuals who want to explore, "There must be more to life" - one's spirituality. Living in Company explores the duality of values that we apply at work and in the rest of our lives, and looks at dissolving the duality "My Work" and the rest of "My Life". Living in Company looks at: what effect attitudes and beliefs have on our lives - what kinds of leaders there are - how do we feel about change and comfort, and what is the connection between them - what do teams and tourists have in common - "Corporate gardening"! - what is the real nature of power - pre-bundled human software: the operating system exposed - what makes us tick - and much more. The company is seen as an organic entity - a group of individuals working together, so the more the individuals are aligned with their values and goals, and the more they share themselves: then the better the company will perform, and the better place it will be to work/live in. Living in Company contemplates many topics that are already familiar to those working in the corporate world. The ideas set out are not designed to persuade or convey a new "truth", but rather to stimulate reader reflection - to help listen how it is for you - to provoke the sharing of "how it is for me" - to create more alignment about values. Living in Company proposes to the leaders of companies that the only real way to have better results than competitors is through having the members of the company contribute more (not working harder - but doing more with less). The more the individual feels at ease with himself, the more he is available to contribute to the company. This book is intended for individuals interested in: self-help - personal transformation - spirituality. This book is intended for use in companies for: training - human resources and personnel management - organizational learning - coaching Visit the author's own website at www.nigelbuxton.com

How to find clarity amid the turbulence of work and life We all wish we had more time to pause and reflect about small decisions and big goals—and everything in between. But since we live and work in a vortex of tasks, meetings, decisions, and responsibilities, we rarely get the chance to step back. In this practical guide, bestselling author and Harvard Business School professor Joseph Badaracco argues that you don't need long periods of solitude and tranquility to reflect well. In fact, reflection can take place in the cracks and crevices of your very busy life, and these moments can help you understand your feelings, look at problems from different perspectives, focus on what really matters, and, ultimately, lead a better life. Building on candid interviews with over a hundred executives and professionals, as well as on the classic works of Marcus Aurelius, Michel de Montaigne, and Ignatius of Loyola, Badaracco offers simple, customizable principles and ideas for reflection that lend a gentle discipline to an otherwise nebulous process. Concise, smart, and pragmatic, Step Back is the guide you need to make reflection a positive force in your work and life.
