Unul dintre primele titluri ale colectiei CEO, Lean In de Sheryl Sandberg,se adreseaza femeilor de afaceri, confruntate adesea cu dilema: o cariera de succes sau o viata personala implinita?Autoarea, al doilea om din conducerea Facebook, aflata in ultimii ani in topul celor mai puternice femei de afaceri si al celor mai influente personalitati si mama a doi copii, ne arata ca este posibil sa impaci reusita profesionala cu implinirea personala, ca trebuie sa depasim stereotipurile de gen, ca femeile trebuie sa aiba mai multa incredere in sine si ambitie pentru a-si obtine locul pe care il merita.Premisa acestei c?r?i o constituie un discurs fulminant TEDTalk, sus?inut de Sandberg ?n 2010, ?n care descria felul ?n care femeile ??i st?vilesc progresul ?n carier? ?n mod involuntar. Cuv?ntarea ei devenit? un real fenomen ?i urm?rit? de mai mult de 2 milioane de ori, ?ncurajeaz? femeile ?s? se a?eze la masa tratativelor“ al?turi de b?rba?i, s? caute ?n permanen?? provoc?ri, s?-?i asume riscuri ?i s?-?i urm?reasc? scopurile cu tenacitate.Astfel, studiile de specialitate au eviden?iat faptul c? de?i s-au scurs treizeci de ani de c?nd 50% din absolven?ii de colegii din Statele Unite ale Americii sunt femei, totu?i b?rba?ii continu? s? de?in? o majoritate cov?r?itoare a pozi?iilor de conducere din guvern ?i industrie. Femeile ?nc? nu-?i fac auzite vocile, iar autoarea ?ncearc? s? g?seasc? un r?spuns la ?ntrebarea De ce progresul femeilor ?n accederea la rolurile de conducere s-a blocat?, explic? cauzele originare ale problemei ?i ofer? solu?ii conving?toare, practice, care le pot conferi femeilor puterea de a-?i etala ?ntregul poten?ial.Sandberg sondeaz? ?n ad?ncime aceste aspecte, pentru a str?punge ambiguit??ile ?i prejudec??ile prezente ?n vie?ile tuturor ?i a le ?ndruma pe femei, pas cu pas, ?n cl?direa unei cariere de succes, descriind etapele specifice pe care trebuie s? le parcurg? acestea ?n scopul concilierii reu?itelor profesionale cu ?mplinirea personal?.Scris? cu umor ?i ?n?elepciune, aceast? carte este un apel inspirat la ac?iune, destinat a schimba polii conversa?iei de la femeile care nu pot face la cele care pot, devenind astfel un strig?t animat c?tre acestea de a pune um?rul la crearea unei lumi mai egale.

What will you find in this book? You’ll find events and stories which strikingly resemble the ones that we see in corporations. You’ll find familiar things that you like and things that will make the corporate officials think meditate. And last but not least you will find each and every one of you. Why should you buy a book that speaks about the things that you live daily? Maybe because the way in which things are narrated will enchant you and will captivate you because it feels like someone has read your mind, because you simply want to enjoy yourself by discovering the corporate environment. It is a book dedicated mainly to corporate members and to the people who work there, that is about us, the corporate members. On an optimistic note and funny way, I hope.

Preparations for the ISO Implementation Project – A Plain English Guide
Dejan Kosutic
¥81.67
“There are many misconceptions about ISO standards that very often do not allow the standard to become a serious candidate for consideration, let alone for the actual implementation.” In this book, Dejan Kosutic, author and experienced ISO consultant, is giving away his practical know-how on preparing for ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 20000, ISO 22000, OHSAS 18001, ISO 13485, AS9100, and IATF 16949 implementation. No matter if you are new or experienced in the field, this book gives you everything you will ever need to learn about preparations for ISO implementation projects, and how to avoid some costly mistakes in the process. The first step that is crucial to any ISO implementation project is to convince your top management to implement the ISO standard, and in order to do so, you have to speak the language they want to hear. As Kosutic says: “What management wants to hear are profit, market share, client satisfaction, cost cutting, business strategy, and business risks. And you can't blame them – after all, this is what their job is all about.” Starting from that step, Preparations for the ISO Implementation Project: A Plain English Guide will cover other important steps your organization must take in order to be completely prepared for the implementation of any ISO standard. Among other important things, you will learn how to choose a consultant, how to set up the project management structure, and what tools and templates can help you in the implementation project. Written in easy-to-understand language, this book is written for people who are going for an ISO implementation for the first time and need clear guidance on what to do before the project starts. Whether you’re an experienced practitioner or new to the field, it’s the only book you’ll ever need on the subject.

Like icebergs, some stories hold their mysteries submerged beneath the surface. Poet and novelist Mario Milosevic conjures a cornucopia of such tales, presenting 2,002 opening sentences paired with 2,002 closing sentences, bridged by a brief universal middle section that either muddies the waters or makes everything as clear as ice. A mad storyteller’s fever dream, Mostly Invisible doubles Scheherazade’s iconic 1,001 nights and pours forth a kaleidoscopic cavalcade of thrills, romance, mystery, adventure, fantasy, and intrigue. Echoing much of the mystery of life, the bulk of these stories lurk hidden from view, but come alive in the imaginations of readers willing to take a journey to the outer edges of storytelling.

The polished gentleman of sentimental fiction has so long served as the type of smooth and conscienceless depravity that urbanity of demeanor inspires distrust in ruder minds. On the other hand, the blunt, unpolished hero of melodrama and romantic fiction has lifted brusqueness and pushfulness to a pedestal not wholly merited. Consequently, the kinship between conduct that keeps us within the law and conduct that makes civilized life worthy to be called such, deserves to be noted with emphasis.

The beautiful Alvita who had lost both her parents, was living quietly in her family home in Southern Russia. Her father had been Russian and her mother had been English. ??????????? Alvita was pleased to receive a visit from her brother, Ivor, but shocked when he told her that they must leave Russia immediately, as a Revolution was inevitable and would start very soon. ??????????? He had brought with him his friend, Nicholas, who said that he would help them pack up as many of their treasures as they could and make their way to England. ??????????? Alvita felt a little unsure of Nicholas, but thought that perhaps she might be mistaken. ??????????? Ivor insists that he should be a Russian Prince and Alvita a Princess as the English are always impressed by grand titles, although Alvita is none too sure about the deception. ??????????? After packing her mother’s jewellery, some valuable pictures and silver, they know that they must avoid the dangerous Revolutionaries and travel as fast as possible to the nearest Port to find a ship to take them to England. ??????????? This Nicholas arranges for them and, when they arrive in England, Ivor by chance meets an old friend, Charles, the Marquis of Harrington, who he was friends with when they were at Oxford University. ??????????? Charles takes them to his impressive house in London and, when he learns that they want to sell their treasures, he arranges for them to be displayed in the ballroom and the stables. ???????????
