Au Contraire!: Figuring Out the French Asselin, Gilles; Mastron, Ruth

When Coca-Cola entered the French market with a hard-core bottom-line management style, they were met with boycotts in cafes and supermarkets. At the launch of EuroDisney in Paris, Mickey Mouse was ‘greeted’ by angry protesters hurling tomatoes and eggs. What went wrong? As a culture, the French are fiercely independent yet romantic, conservative yet avant-garde, rational yet emotional. In “Au Contraire!: Figuring Out the French”, bilingual and bicultural authors Gilles Asselin and Ruth Mastron explore beyond the stereotypes, examining the assumptions, attitudes, patterns of thought and beliefs that make the French so - French. Written for anyone interested in or interacting with the French, “Au Contraire!: Figuring Out the French” unearths the often invisible cultural forces that govern behaviour.

When Richard Nisbett showed an animated underwater scene to his American students, they zeroed in on a big fish swimming among smaller fish. Japanese subjects, on the other hand, made observations about the background environment...and the different “seeings” are a clue to profound underlying cognitive differences between Westerners and East Asians. As Professor Nisbett shows in The Geography of Thought people actually think - and even see - the world differently, because of differing ecologies, social structures, philosophies, and educational systems that date back to ancient Greece and China, and that have survived into the modern world.

This is Chris Harrison’s hilarious and captivating story of leaving his previous life for La Dolce Vita - or rather the Southern Italian version of that seductive way of life, with its luscious foods, physical beauty and sundrenched vistas. On a trip to Dublin, Chris falls head over heels in love with Daniela, an Italian girl with eyes the colour of Guinness, and follows her to her small home town of Andrano on the coast of Puglia.

Among olive groves and cobblestone lanes, Chris takes us on a moving, insightful and often hilarious journey into the heart of Southern Italy. Can this relationship with Southern Italy possibly survive or will the sweet life turn sour?

Unlike in Africa, where all Peter’s experiences had been safari based, he planned to vary things up in South America, getting involved with conservation projects as well as seeking out “the wildest and rarest wildlife experiences on offer”.

Much has been written about coaching individuals, yet there has been little investigation of coaching teams at work. Even in organisations that have made strides towards becoming coaching cultures, the focus has been on the individual, not the team. This failure is now a serious weakness in the abilities of managers at all levels. In this book, David Clutterbuck bridges the gap between what is known about team learning and coaching and the practical experience of managers and team coaches. He answers such questions as how team coaching differs from individual coaching, what skills underpin effective team coaching, and how team coaching can be made a sustainable, automatic process.

Developing Exemplary Performance One Person at a Time Sabbag, Michael

9780891062493 Hardback 232 pages 229 x 152 mm PUBLISHED 15 Jul 2009

Rejecting the notion that ‘one solution fits all’ when it comes to improving employee performance, Michael Sabbag instead focuses on building exemplary performance with one employee, one step at a time. He lays out a simple process to identify the ‘right’ performance focus - one exemplary strength that can be leveraged and one ‘expandable’ strength with development potential. He then shows how to select the ‘right’ combination of tools and solutions - from job redesigns to one-onone coaching - to achieve peak performance. In chapter-by-chapter detail, the seven key performance factors are examined to help actively engage employees in this easy-to-implement performance development process.

The world of work has changed, no longer fitting the traditional, vertical lines of function and geography.

The answer, according to this intensely practical book, is not by changing structures, but by changing mindsets and building skillsets. The answer is to develop ‘matrix managers’ - managers who are able to take advantage of the opportunities the matrix offers both the organization and themselves and individuals.

Top-performing employees are constantly searching for “employers of choice” - organizations that provide a fulfilling work environment. Just as important, though, are “managers of choice” - supervisors who can adapt the work environment to meet employees’ individual needs. A “manager of choice” is the one chosen and trusted by employees who can work elsewhere and for other managers, and by senior management to handle increasing levels of responsibility and authority. Today’s prospective employees have many options available, and they expect more from a job than just a paycheck, such as flexible schedules, benefits and training opportunities. This book guides managers in implementing the five key competencies for human capital management.

Gavin Kennedy aims to go beyond tough guy tactics to reveal how people actually negotiate. This text is not about what people ought to do, rationally or otherwise - it is about how people really behave and what you can do about it. His thesis is that the two usual modes of negotiating behaviour should be blended.

The “red style” is the use of manipulative tactics and agressive ploys, whilst the “blue style” is the antidote to this, suggesting the use of principled negotiation and rational problem solving prescriptions. Kennedy presents his “purple style”, which says: “give me some of what I want (“red style”) and I will give you some of what you want (“Blue style”)”.
