Rasmus Hougaard Bücher

Organisationen und Führungskräfte sind erfolgreicher, wenn Mitarbeiter Verbindung, Sinnhaftigkeit und Glück erfahren. Es gibt eine Krise in der Wirtschaft: Während 77 Prozent der Führungskräfte glauben, ihre Mitarbeiter ausreichend zu motivieren, sagt 88 Prozent dieser Mitarbeiter, dass ihnen die Aufmerksamkeit von oben fehlt. In Wie Führungskräfte denken präsentiert Rasmus Hougaard eine Lösung: ein effektives Führungsmodell, mit dem Führungskräfte echte Verbindungen schaffen und eine Kultur fördern können, in der intrinsische Motivation, Autonomie, Kreativität und Mitgefühl im Vordergrund stehen. Um dies zu erreichen, sind Führungskräfte erforderlich, die drei Kernqualitäten entwickeln: Achtsamkeit, Selbstlosigkeit und Mitgefühl. Wie Führungskräfte denken behandelt modernes Leadership und enthält Praxisbeispiele aus Unternehmen wie Marriott, McKinsey und LinkedIn.

Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman offers a general audience access to over six decades of insight and expertise from a Nobel Laureate in an accessible and interesting way. Kahneman's work focuses largely on the problem of how we think, and warns of the dangers of trusting to intuition - which springs from "fast" but broad and emotional thinking - rather than engaging in the slower, harder, but surer thinking that stems from logical, deliberate decision-making. Written in a lively style that engages readers in the experiments for which Kahneman won the Nobel, Thinking, Fast and Slow's real triumph is to force us to think about our own thinking.

One Second Ahead is about applying mindfulness techniques (mindfulness techniques enable people to manage their attention, improve their awareness, and sharpen their focus and clarity) to work life.

Leadership is challenging, especially when trying to balance compassion for your team with the need to achieve results. In the face of a global pandemic, high unemployment, and civil unrest, the world feels unstable, and our spirits are tested. Now, more than ever, leaders must embody compassion, characterized by genuine concern for others. This quality fosters stronger connections, enhances collaboration, builds trust, and increases loyalty. Research indicates that compassionate leaders are often viewed as more competent and effective. However, as Rasmus Hougaard and Jacqueline Carter highlight, compassion alone isn't sufficient. Effective leadership requires a balance of caring for people and exercising wisdom in decision-making. These two elements—wisdom and compassion—often conflict, leading leaders to sometimes lean too far in one direction, resulting in negative outcomes. Effective leadership may involve delivering tough feedback, making difficult decisions, or even downsizing, all of which require a careful balance of compassion and effectiveness. This book provides insights and strategies to help leaders navigate this balance, offering rich stories, data from thousands of leaders worldwide, and practical tools for leaders at any level. It serves as an essential guide for leading with humanity while achieving organizational goals.

Leadership is challenging, especially in times of crisis such as a global pandemic, economic instability, and civil unrest. The human spirit is being tested, making it crucial for leaders to show compassion. However, effective leadership also requires making tough decisions—delivering negative feedback, disappointing team members, and sometimes laying off employees. The common belief that one must choose between being a compassionate leader and an effective one is a false dichotomy. In reality, making difficult decisions can often be the most compassionate action. Rasmus Hougaard and Jacqueline Carter, founders of Potential Project, emphasize the need to balance care for employees with leadership effectiveness. Their research, based on data from thousands of leaders and companies across nearly a hundred countries, reveals that leaders who successfully blend compassion with wisdom significantly enhance employee engagement, performance, loyalty, and well-being. Drawing on examples from renowned companies like Netflix, IKEA, and Unilever, this practical guide offers tools and insights for leaders at all levels, demonstrating how to navigate the complexities of leadership with humanity while achieving results.
