Printed book, E-book

Great programmers aren’t born—they’re made. The industry is moving from object-oriented languages to functional languages, and you need to commit to radical improvement. New programming languages arm you with the tools and idioms you need to refine your craft. While other language primers take you through basic installation and “Hello, World,” we aim higher. Each language in Seven More Languages in Seven Weeks will take you on a step-by-step journey through the most important paradigms of our time. You’ll learn seven exciting languages: Lua, Factor, Elixir, Elm, Julia, MiniKanren, and Idris.

Just as each new spoken language can make you smarter and increase your options, each programming language increases your mental tool kit, adding new abstractions you can throw at each new problem. Knowledge is power. The Seven in Seven series builds on that power across many different dimensions. Each chapter in each book walks you through some nontrivial problem with each language, or database, or web server. These books take commitment to read, but their impact can be profound.

Vanaf het moment dat we leren praten wordt ons geleerd dat we beter onze mond kunnen houden als we niks aardigs te zeggen hebben. Misschien prima advies voor het dagelijks leven, maar - zoals Kim Scott heeft ervaren – rampzalig als managers het toepassen.

Great management is difficult to see as it occurs. Great management happens in one-on-one meetings and with other managers—all in private. It’s hard to learn management by example when you can’t see it.

Find out what goes on Behind Closed Doors and see how a skilled manager turns around a tricky management situation in seven weeks. You’ll learn how to provide and use feedback effectively, and become a better coach and mentor peers and team members.

E-book

Casey McDaniel had never been so nervous in his life. In just ten minutes, The Meeting, as it would forever be known, would begin. Casey had every reason to believe that his performance over the next two hours would determine the fate of his career, his financial future, and the company he had built from scratch. 'How could my life have unravelled so quickly?' he wondered. In his latest page-turning work of business fiction, best-selling author Patrick Lencioni provides readers with another powerful and thought-provoking book, this one centred around a cure for the most painful yet underestimated problem of modern business: bad meetings. And what he suggests is both simple and revolutionary.Casey McDaniel, the founder and CEO of Yip Software, is in the midst of a problem he created, but one he doesn't know how to solve. And he doesn't know where or who to turn to for advice. His staff can't help him; they're as dumbfounded as he is by their tortuous meetings. Then an unlikely advisor, Will Peterson, enters Casey's world. When he proposes an unconventional, even radical, approach to solving the meeting problem, Casey is just desperate enough to listen. As in his other books, Lencioni provides a framework for his groundbreaking model, and makes it applicable to the real world. Death by Meeting is nothing short of a blueprint for leaders who want to eliminate waste and frustration among their teams, and create environments of engagement and passion.

E-book

Je team staat voor grote uitdagingen, maar het werken met lijstjes en gedetailleerde planningen brengt jullie nu niet meer verder. Er zijn bovendien irritaties en spanningen in de samenwerking geslopen, ingegeven door ego's en politiek. Dat alles heeft tot gevolg dat dingen niet gedaan worden en kansen blijven liggen. Met Holacracy is het mogelijk om zulke 'spanningen' om te zetten in flow: om te werken vanuit een gezamenlijke focus die het mogelijk maakt als team snellere en betere beslissingen te nemen. Essentieel daarvoor is helderheid over rollen en verantwoordelijkheden, supereffectieve meetings, en eenduidige spelregels voor betere besluitvorming. Holacracy is een team- en organisatiemethodiek die verder gaat waar Getting Things Done ophoudt. De aanpak heeft een hoog praktisch gehalte en is voortgekomen uit jarenlange praktijkervaring in diverse sectoren. Aan de hand van een herkenbare casus wordt de lezer meegenomen in de belevenissen van een team dat deze aanpak aan den lijve ervaart.

Printed book, E-book, 176 pages

Published 2008-04-01

Een onmisbaar handboek voor ambitieuze ondernemers, die liever ondernemer dan manager zijn, maar wél op koers willen blijven. Verne Harnish is expert op het gebied van strategische groei. Uitgangspunt voor dit handboek zijn drie basisprincipes voor succesvol management, afkomstig uit de biografie van oliemagnaat John D. Rockefeller. Rockefeller was ooit de rijkste zakenman in de VS, die Harnish uitwerkte tot een managementtool voor snelgroeiende bedrijven. De drie principes van Rockefeller zijn: prioriteiten, informatie en ritme. Prioriteiten: hebben we duidelijke prioriteiten voor de korte en lange termijn? Heeft iedereen zijn eigen prioriteiten daarop afgestemd? . Informatie: is er genoeg informatie om de performance en de wensen van onze klanten te peilen? Werkt iedereen ook met en volgens die informatie? . Ritme: zijn er regelmatig vergaderingen om de koers en de verantwoordelijkheden scherp te houden? Worden die zinvol en effectief gehouden? De Rockefeller-strategie biedt het gereedschap om de juiste strategische beslissingen te nemen, deze uit te voeren en te checken of er ook gedaan wordt wat gedaan moet worden. Harnish legt de theorie uit aan de hand van cases en je kunt direct aan de slag met het strategisch plan op één A4tje, het stappenplan en de financieringstactiek.
