Pornind de la celebra sentin?? dostoievskian? – ?Dac? Dumnezeu nu exist?, atunci totul este permis" – unii au depl?ns declinul autorit??ilor religioase ?i al idealurilor morale, iar al?ii au conchis c? singurul principiu de via?? care ne r?m?ne este cel al luptei pentru supravie?uire, observ? Fromm. Ca r?spuns la bulversarea valorilor din secolul trecut, cartea de fa?? aduce argumente filosofice ?i socio-psihanalitice pentru o ?ntoarcere a omului la sine, pentru o nou? "art? de a tr?i". Etica "umanist?", propus? de Fromm, se vrea o alternativ? la etica "autoritar?", motivat? de culp? ?i supunere tem?toare. Noua moral? se va ghida, astfel, dup? gradul ?n care reu?im s? ne actualiz?m poten?ialul - acesta va fi criteriul ?n func?ie de care vom decide ce ne este permis sau interzis din punct de vedere moral. C?ci, ?n loc de a ne trata propria persoan? ca pe o marf? (dup? cum ne ?ncurajeaz? "orientarea mercantil?" de ast?zi), menirea noastr? va fi s? ne realiz?m poten?ialul. "Binele" este, astfel, redefinit ca afirmare a vie?ii ?i actualizare a posibilit??ilor umane, iar "r?ul" este echivalat cu degradarea puterilor noastre omene?ti.?

Interviuri aprofundate, initiate de Gallup Organization cu mai mult de 80.000 de manageri din peste 400 de companii – cel mai extins studiu de gen, realizat vreodata. Cei mai mari manageri din lume par sa aiba prea putine lucruri in comun. Ei sunt diferiti ca sex, varsta si rasa. Folosesc stiluri foarte diferite si au teluri distincte. Si totusi, in ciuda diferentelor dintre ei, marii manageri au o trasatura comuna: nu se feresc sa incalce toate regulile considerate sacre de managementul traditional. Ei nu cred ca, beneficiind de o pregatire corespunzatoare, o persoana poate realiza orice si-ar propune. Nu incearca sa-i ajute pe oameni sa-si depaseasca slabiciunile. Nu iau in seama deloc regula de aur. Dimpotriva, chiar au angajati favoriti. Aceasta carte extraordinara explica de ce fac toate acestea. Marcus Buckingham si Curt Coffman de la Gallup Organization prezinta rezultatele remarcabile ale studiului aprofundat pe care l-au facut asupra unor manageri aflati intr-o mare diversitate de situatii. Unii erau in pozitii de top. Altii erau simpli supervizori. Unii lucrau in companii aflate pe lista Fortune 500, altii aveau functii cheie in mici companii. Indiferent de pozitia lor, managerii asupra carora s-a concentrat studiul Gallup au fost invariabil cei care excelau in transformarea in performanta a talentului fiecarui angajat. Pe restransa piata a muncii de astazi, companiile se intrec in a-i gasi si a-i pastra pe cei mai buni angajati, rasplatindu-i cu bani, beneficii, promovari si stagii de instruire. Dar aceste eforturi bine intentionate omit adesea esentialul. Cheia atragerii si pastrarii angajatilor talentati este managerul aflat in ?prima linie“, adica in contact direct cu acestia. Oricat de generos ar fi salariul si oricat de celebru stagiul de pregatire, o companie care duce lipsa de manageri ?in prima linie“ va avea de suferit. Buckingham si Coffman explica modul in care cei mai buni manageri aleg un angajat mai degraba in functie de talent, decat in functie de pricepere sau experienta; felul in care acesti manageri definesc asteptarile legate de fiecare angajat, stabilind mai degraba rezultatele de atins, decat pasii de urmat; modul in care isi motiveaza oamenii, stimuland punctele forte unice ale fiecaruia, in loc de a incerca sa le amelioreze slabiciunile si, in sfarsit, felul in care marii manageri sprijina dezvoltarea cuiva, ajutandu-l sa-si gaseasca locul potrivit, nu neaparat sa urce pe treapta urmatoare a carierei. Si, poate cel mai important lucru este faptul ca, din acest studiu care initial a generat mii de intrebari diferite pentru a sonda opinia angajatilor, au rezultat douasprezece intrebari simple care reusesc sa distinga departamentele cele mai puternice ale unei companii de restul departamentelor. Cartea de fata este prima care prezinta acest fundamental instrument de masurare si care demonstreaza legatura intre opiniile angajatilor si productivitate, profit, satisfactia clientilor si rata profitului.

Robert R.

Ever wondered what to do in polite society if you find an insect in your food? Or how a gentleman should ask a lady to dance? And what on earth is the etiquette for smoking cigars? First published in 1860, Cecil B. Hartley's classic guide to gentlemanly behaviour is a veritable mine of information and indispensable advice for aspiring gentlemen. No matter if a man finds himself at a party, meeting someone new or travelling abroad, he has but to leaf through this book to learn how best to behave, and indeed how not to behave. And if he can find time between his numerous invitations to balls and hunting parties, he could benefit from a perusal of the sections on gentlemanly deportment and conversational technique. Not forgetting, of course, the all-important advice on how to treat ladies, surely an integral part of any true gentleman's training. Published here in a stunning edition alongside The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, this is the perfect gift for the would-be gentleman in your life. While it's an excellent volume for dipping into for hilarious nuggets of outdated advice, this guide also contains advice on all manner of topics, from beard-keeping to chivalry, that are just as relevant today as they were in Cecil B. Hartley's time. As he says himself: 'Once a gentleman always a gentleman' and be sure that you can so carry out the rule, that in your most careless, joyous moments, when freest from the restraints of etiquette, you can still be recognizable as a gentleman by every act, word, or look.
