She is one of a small but influential band of business academics who have begun to question the \"ideological gloomy paradigm\" - the overwhelmingly negative assumptions about human nature that historically underpin management theorising.   The Democratic Enterprise is one of the first interventions to crystallise these dissatisfactions and offer steps to a positive alternative model...The revolution is democracy and it starts here.\"   The Observer        \"One of Britain's leading lights in human resource strategy\"   Financial Times       Liberating your Business with Freedom, Flexibility and Commitment    The Democratic Enterprise delivers the blueprint for a business built on choice and commitment.  A business made fast through freedom and purposeful through meaning.  This is a business people would choose to work for.         These days individuals matter more than their roles, so how can we change the way we manage and organise people to make the most of their talent and energy? The free to choose are fast to act for an enterprise they believe in, but they're also the first to leave an organisation that fails them. In The Democratic Enterprise HR guru Lynda Gratton sets out a practical blueprint for designing smarter working relationships based on free choice and shared purpose - where autonomy, choice and trust breed speed, flexibility and commitment. This is the business we'd choose to work for, even if we have the talent and ability to leave.    Smart people want a more grown-up relationship with their employers these days. And most businesses too, realise that they can get more from people through flexible and intelligent working relationships. So imagine a company where people have more freedom in how, where and when they work. Where they have more personal choice in their work, but also share more commitment with their colleagues to a bigger purpose. This is a business we would choose to work with.    The Democratic Enterprise explores, from the perspective of the individual and the organization what it means to craft choice, and shows us how to use some of the basic principles of democracy to build organizations of which we can be proud.     The book examines eight companies which have pioneered choice and democracy, and shows how:        the oil giant BP has created transparent internal markets for jobs enabling every employee to develop a breadth and depth of competencies   McKinsey \u0026amp; Co. has brought an unprecedented level of transparency to the ways in which associates can choose the projects to work on   Sony have created a ground-breaking digital system by creating a context in which engineers have real freedom to create worthwhile and meaningful jobs   Unisys has enabled every employee to access an enormous range of training opportunities to ensure they are truly becoming ‘the best they can be’.    Goldman Sachs builds choice around the development relationships which are so crucial to personal and organizational development   AstraZeneca has brought complete transparency to employee access to pay and benefits.    BT has enabled many tens of thousands of employees to make locational choice   and finally,  how HP has built discretion around time.     Learn how each of these companies have pioneered the tenets of democracy and choice and by doing so have created strong, agile enterprises powered by employee engagement and collaboration.

But why do they occur in some companies and teams and not others? How can you avoid the Big Freeze and instead encourage these centres of creativity, action and energy?    Hot Spots presents this powerful new idea which holds enormous potential for increasing productivity, co-operation and innovation. Hot Spots can be found anywhere that ideas converge - workplaces, companies, industries, coffee shops, hallways, conferences. And distance is no barrier either: Hot Spots can thrive across different geographical locations and different time zones. Based on extensive research with industry leaders such as BP, Nokia, Adidas, Linux, Goldman Sachs, Ogilvy One, Unilever and Reuters, Hot Spots explores the conditions and environments that are conducive to the creation of Hot Spots.

While we hear about the looming pension crisis and issues with caring for the aged, this is a transformation for which we are currently ill-prepared - as individuals, companies and governments. Our traditional three-stage approach to working life - education, work and then retirement - is the reason why so much current government policy is focused on the third stage of retirement. But when life extends, it's not just about the end - it's about the extension of every period within a lifespan. Financially, we can't still plan to retire at 65 if we are going to live on to 100. The 100 Year Life asks the questions: - Can our physical and mental health be maintained by such a long second stage of continuous work? - Can some of the intangible assets that really matter for a productive life - such as family and friends - really be maintained through a non-stop 60-year career? - Can a working career of 60 years be supported by the skills and knowledge accumulated in the first stage of life? It also offers some solutions: - Questioning the norm of jumping straight from education to full-time work. - Being a job creator rather than a job seeker, or using core skills to create a portfolio career within a variety of jobs. - Moving with the job market where specialist knowledge, insight and the capacity to work in highly collaborative ways will be more valuable. The 100 Year Life explains what to expect from our future working life, the choices we will be faced with at any stage of life, and shares ways to make the most of this incredible opportunity to ensure that a longer life is a better life.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49584342335761,"sku":"GOR009095879","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50000612196625,"sku":"GOR009238517","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51417063063825,"sku":"CIN1472936248VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1472936248.jpg?v=1751211055"},{"product_id":"glow-book-lynda-gratton-9780273723875","title":"Glow","description":"\"Destined to be one of the most talked about business books of the decade.\"            Marc Silvester, Chief Technology Officer \u0026amp; Head of Service Innovation, Fujitsu    \"Churchill once said that we are all worms but some of us are glow worms.

A new edition of the international bestseller, featuring a new preface  'Brilliant, timely, original, well written and utterly terrifying' Niall Ferguson  Does the thought of working for 60 or 70 years fill you with dread? Or can you see the potential for a more stimulating future as a result of having so much extra time?   Many of us have been raised on the traditional notion of a three-stage approach to our working lives: education, followed by work and then retirement.  But this well-established pathway is already beginning to collapse – life expectancy is rising, final-salary pensions are vanishing, and increasing numbers of people are juggling multiple careers. Whether you are 18, 45 or 60, you will need to do things very differently from previous generations and learn to structure your life in completely new ways.  The 100-Year Life is here to help.  Drawing on the unique pairing of their experience in psychology and economics, Lynda Gratton and Andrew J. Scott offer a broad-ranging analysis as well as a raft of solutions, showing how to rethink your finances, your education, your career and your relationships and create a fulfilling 100-year life.   · How can you fashion a career and life path that defines you and your values and creates a shifting balance between work and leisure?  · What are the most effective ways of boosting your physical and mental health over a longer and more dynamic lifespan?  · How can you make the most of your intangible assets – such as family and friends – as you build a productive, longer life?  · In a multiple-stage life how can you learn to make the transitions that will be so crucial and experiment with new ways of living, working and learning?  Shortlisted for the FT\/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award and featuring a new preface, The 100-Year Life is a wake-up call that describes what to expect and considers the choices and options that you will face. It is also fundamentally a call to action for individuals, politicians, firms and governments and offers the clearest demonstration that a 100-year life can be a wonderful and inspiring one.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49725662298385,"sku":"GOR011622547","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49737055928593,"sku":"NGR9781526622839","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50331045789969,"sku":"GOR011142294","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51356506685713,"sku":"GOR014236437","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51417225298193,"sku":"CIN1526622831G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51530629513489,"sku":"NIN9781526622839","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51874700525841,"sku":"CIN1526622831VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52123302232337,"sku":"NLS9781526622839","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52153357205777,"sku":"GOR012112654","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1526622831.jpg?v=1751433012"},{"product_id":"redesigning-work-book-lynda-gratton-9780262544986","title":"Redesigning Work","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49763716890897,"sku":"CIN0262544989G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50347493916945,"sku":"CIN0262544989VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53043959234833,"sku":"GOR014712960","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262544989.jpg?v=1751037805"},{"product_id":"hot-spots-book-lynda-gratton-9781458777539","title":"Hot Spots","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49873464623377,"sku":"GOR009566754","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1458777537.jpg?v=1750955522"},{"product_id":"new-long-life-book-andrew-j-scott-9781635577143","title":"The New Long Life","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA practical guide to how we can positively adapt to a changing world, from the internationally bestselling authors of \u003ci\u003eThe 100-Year Life.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"Wonderful . . .
