Back to Human: How Great Leaders Create Connection in the Age of Isolation

Autor Dan Schawbel
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 noi 2018

Observăm că structura volumului Back to Human este riguros proiectată pentru a ghida liderii printr-un parcurs de transformare de la dependența tehnologică la reconectarea umană. Dan Schawbel organizează materialul pornind de la date empirice solide, oferind un mix între teorie, studii de caz globale și instrumente de autoevaluare, precum 'The Work Connectivity Index'. Cartea propune o tranziție clară: de la înțelegerea modului în care comunicarea virtuală alimentează izolarea, către implementarea unui model de leadership bazat pe integrare și învățare partajată.

Remarcăm că abordarea autorului diferă de cea din Humanizing the Remote Experience through Leadership and Coaching de Diane Lennard prin gradul ridicat de aplicabilitate imediată. În timp ce lucrarea lui Lennard este mai abstractă, explorând indicii senzoriali și dinamica de grup, Schawbel livrează un manual operațional, plin de exerciții și strategii concrete pentru creșterea productivității prin colaborare. De asemenea, spre deosebire de Connections Change Everything, care se concentrează strict pe conversații, Back to Human privește cultura organizațională în ansamblu, chestionând însăși natura echilibrului dintre viața personală și cea profesională.

În contextul operei sale, această carte reprezintă evoluția firească a temelor explorate anterior. Dacă în Promote Yourself autorul punea accentul pe modul în care individul trebuie să se poziționeze într-o lume digitală 24/7, în Back to Human el mută reflectorul pe responsabilitatea liderului de a crea un mediu în care tehnologia nu mai este un paravan, ci un instrument subordonat interacțiunii umane autentice. Este o trecere necesară de la brandingul personal la construcția de comunități profesionale reziliente.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Back to Human explains how a more socially connected workforce creates greater fulfillment, productivity, and engagement while preventing burnout and turnover.

 

New York Times bestselling author Dan Schawbel guides the next generation of leaders to create a workplace where teammates feel genuinely connected, engaged, and empowered to grow strong interpersonal skills rather than relying on technology. Based on Schawbel's exclusive research studies--featuring the perspectives of over 2,000 managers and employees across different age groups and from the US, UK, China, India, Brazil and other countries - Back to Human reveals why electronic and virtual communication, though vital and useful, actually contributes to a stronger sense of isolation at work than ever before.

 

The corporate cultures we are experiencing right now need to change, and Schawbel offers a new leadership model featuring The Work-Life Balance Myth (we should consider work-life integration instead, which creates more synergies between all areas of your life and puts you in control of how you allocate your time), Shared Learning (how sharing knowledge allows you to stay relevant despite industry disruptions), and more. The book includes:

 

-Interviews with 100 leaders from notable companies including Facebook, Honeywell, HBO, Starbucks, General Mills, GE, Nike, American Express, Four Seasons, Walmart, TIME, LinkedIn, and The U.S. Air Force.

-A self-assessment called "The Work Connectivity Index" that measures that strength of team relationships.

-Exercises, examples and activities that readers can work on individually, or as a team, which will help them improve their leadership skills.

-Tips and strategies on how to increase personal productivity, be more collaborative and become more fulfilled at work.
