Lídři jedí poslední - Simon Sinek - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Jak vybuduji stabilní a a výkonný tým, ve kterém všichni usilují o dosažení společného cíle? Kde nepanuje cynismus a sobectví? Kde jsou si kolegové oporou? Simon Sinek, autor bestselleru Začněte s proč, studoval množství firem, v jejichž čele stojí lídři, kterým více než na sobě a na krátkodobých ziscích záleží na zaměstnancích. Své poznatky pak zpracoval do nové knihy Lídři jedí poslední, kde se jimi můžete inspirovat i vy. Armáda má jasno: důstojníci jedí poslední! Co je v jídelně spíše symbolickým gestem, dostává na bitevním poli vážnější rozměr. Ti nejlepší lídři obětují vlastní pohodlí a bezpečí pro dobro těch, kterým velí. Budují ve své firmě důvěru, pocit jistoty a podporují spolupráci. Jejich zaměstnanci pak táhnou za jeden provaz a dokážou čelit vnějším výzvám. Firmy jsou stabilní a dlouhodobě úspěšné. Tento princip používá lidstvo od dob lovců a sběračů a Simon Sinek ukazuje, že platí stále, možná víc než kdy jindy. Simon Sinek (1973) Simon Sinek je britsko-americký autor, motivační řečník a marketingový konzultant. Je autorem světových bestsellerů: „Začněte s PROČ“, „Lídři jedí poslední“ a „Objevte své PROČ“. Sinek zformuloval a popularizoval koncept „zlatého kruhu“, v jehož středu stojí „proč" - vnitřní smysl existence nebo práce jednotlivce. Vzděláním je etnograf, a tak ho nepřestávají fascinovat lidé a organizace. Spolupracuje se společností Ernst&Young, jíž pomáhá měnit firemní kulturu, nebo s renomovanou RAND Corporation. Spolupracuje nebo spolupracoval i s dalšími firmami a organizacemi, mezi nimi figurují například Microsoft, Disney, Mars, KPMG, Pfizer nebo americká armáda.

Jeho doménou se však staly televizní seriály. Nejprve Boříkovy lapálie a Pan Tau, Malý pitaval z velkého města, Slavné historky zbojnické, Doktor z vejminku, Bambinot, Území bílých králů, Co teď a co potom?.

Nekonečná hra - Simon Sinek - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Od autora knihy Začněte s PROČ „Nekonečnou hru jsem napsal pro všechny, kdo se nebojí změnit status quo a budovat realitu, která naplňuje naši hluboce zakořeněnou potřebu cítit se bezpečně a vytvářet hodnoty, jež nás přesahují.“ – Simon Sinek O knize Autor bestsellerů Začněte s PROČ a Lídři jedí poslední představuje metodu trvale úspěšného podnikání. V nekonečné hře není cílem porazit konkurenci, ale vybudovat nesmrtelnou firmu, již milují zaměstnanci, zákazníci i akcionáři. Ikonu, která bude prospěšná komunitám, v nichž působí, přežije změny i otřesy trhu a současně zůstane zisková. Na existenčních dramatech řady společností vám Sinek přesvědčivě ukáže, že k vybudování takového podniku musíte následovat ušlechtilou vizi a mít odvahu z ní neslevit. Nadchne vás pro celistvější přístup k byznysu, díky němuž se krátkodobý růst nebo snaha stát se „jedničkou na trhu“ změní v zastaralé koncepty. V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte: - Jak vybavit svou firmu pro účast v nekonečné hře. - Že klíčovým předpokladem pro funkci lídra je nekonečné nastavení mysli a odvaha vést. - Proč musí být vize nekonečné firmy v souladu nejen s cíli majitelů a akcionářů, ale také zaměstnanců, zákazníků a širší komunity. - Že etický úpadek společnosti je důsledkem líného řízení. - Proč nemá smysl srovnávat se s konkurentem, pokud nejde o důstojného rivala. Byznys je hra, jejíž pravidla si nemůžeme zvolit. Můžeme si však vybrat, zda ji budeme hrát s konečným, nebo nekonečným nastavením mysli. O autorovi Simon Sinek (* 1973) je konzultant, spisovatel a životní optimista, který chce měnit svět k lepšímu. Všechny jeho knihy se staly mezinárodními bestsellery a jeho první TED talk je třetí nejsledovanější přednáškou konference. Pomáhá lidem i organizacím s objevováním jejich PROČ, přispívá do řady médií, přednáší a školí pro Microsoft, AOL, SAP nebo americký Kongres.

Nekonečná hra - Simon Sinek
NEVYBERÁME SI VLASTNÚ HRU, NEMÁME VPLYV NA PRAVIDLÁ, ROZHODUJEME LEN O TOM AKO BUDEME HRAŤ V konečných hrách - napríklad vo futbale či v šachu - sú hráči známi, pravidlá sú pevne stanovené a cieľ hry je jasný. Na konci hry je úplne zrejmé, kto je víťaz a kto porazený.V nekonečných hrách - ako napríklad v biznise, v politike a aj v našom osobnom živote - hráči prichádzajú a odchádzajú, pravidlá sa môžu zmeniť počas hry a niečo ako cieľová páska v skutočnosti neexistuje. V nekonečnej hre nie sú víťazi, ani porazení - je len to, čo je už za nami a všetko to, čo je stále pred nami. Simon Sinek vás v knihe NEKONEČNÁ HRA pozýva spoznať rozdiel medzi konečnými a nekonečnými hrami a objaviť, že všetky dôležité veci v živote, v biznise a v spoločnosti, majú charakter nekonečnej hry. Simon odhalil, že organizácie a tímy sa stretávajú s množstvom problémov, keď majú ich lídri konečnú perspektívu v nekonečnej hre. Tieto organizácie zaostávajú v inováciách, v angažovanosti a pracovnej morálke zamestnancov - to všetko nakoniec vedie k slabým výsledkom.Lídri, ktorí žijú a pracujú s víziou nekonečnej perspektívy budujú silnejšie, tvorivejšie a inšpiratívnejšie projekty a organizácie. Ich ľudia si navzájom dôverujú a sú odolnejší a flexibilnejší v čoraz rýchlejšie sa meniacom svete. To sú nakoniec tí, ktorí nás ostatných - najmä v čase krízy - vedú v ústrety neistej budúcnosti. Simon Sinek verí, že schopnosť osvojiť si perspektívu nekonečnej hry, je nevyhnutný predpoklad pre každého lídra, ktorý chce zanechať svoju firmu, školu, kliniku, neziskovú organizáciu či miestnu komunitu v lepšom stave, v akom mu bola zverená.

Začněte s proč - Simon Sinek - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Při studiu vůdčích osobností a organizací, které velkou měrou ovlivnily svět, Simon Sinek zjistil, že všichni uvažovali, jednali a komunikovali přesně stejným způsobem – vždy začali s otázkou PROČ a až poté řešili, JAK a CO realizovat. Autor tento model nazývá zlatý kruh. Jde o velmi účinný princip, na jehož základě lze vybudovat firmu, organizaci, věnovat se politice, vést hnutí a inspirovat lidi. Každá organizace umí vysvětlit, CO dělá. Některé umějí vysvětlit, i JAK to dělají. Ale jen málo z nich dokáže formulovat, PROČ to dělají. Za PROČ se přitom nepovažují peníze nebo zisk, to jsou vždy jen výsledky. Proč vaše organizace existuje? Proč dělá věci, které dělá? Osobnosti a firmy, které to vědí, nikdy nepotřebují manipulovat – ony inspirují. Lidé je následují ne proto, že musejí, ale protože sami chtějí. Zaměstnance jejich práce těší, spatřují v ní smysl, mají zázemí a hrdost. Zákazníci jsou loajální, ochotni poskytnout podporu i v těžkých časech, imunní vůči manipulacím ostatních. SIMON SINEK seznamuje jednotlivce i organizace s modelem zlatého kruhu a principem fungování PROČ. Jeho poznatky využívají všichni, kteří chtějí někoho inspirovat, od řadových úředníků po zahraniční velvyslance, od malých podniků po korporace typu Microsoft, od Hollywoodu po Pentagon. Vyučuje na Kolumbijské univerzitě v rámci programu Strategické komunikace. Pokud zrovna nebydlí v hotelu, žije v New Yorku. Je autorem blogu na blog.startwithwhy.com. Ondřej Halámek (1990) Narodil se v Karviné. V Třebíči vystudoval gymnázium, v Brně poté obor muzikálové herectví na JAMU, které úspěšně ukončil v roce 2017. Od 1. srpna téhož roku je v angažmá MdB.nV průběhu svého studia hostoval v MdB v inscenacích: Limonádový Joe, Chaplin, Bítls a Brněnské kolo. Nejraději vzpomíná na role: Figaro (Figarka), Charley Kringas (Zlatá brána otevřená).

Začněte s PROČ - Simon Sinek
Proč děláte to, co děláte? Proč jsou některé firmy a lidé úspěšnější, vlivnější, inovativnější a bohatší než ostatní? Proč si dokážou získat věrné zákazníky a loajální zaměstnance, zatímco jiní, i přes stejné podmínky, jejich úspěch zopakovat nedokážou?Simon Sinek se rozhodl zjistit, co mají úspěšné osobnosti společného. Ve své knize sleduje mimo jiné Martina Luthera Kinga Jr., Steva Jobse či bratry Wrightovy. Při studiu zjistil, že všichni uvažovali, jednali a komunikovali stejným způsobem: vždy začínali s otázkou PROČ a teprve poté řešili, JAK a CO uskutečnit.Tento princip nazývá autor zlatý kruh: CO – každá organizace ví, co dělá, JAK – některé dokážou popsat, jak to dělají, PROČ – jen málokdo však dokáže vysvětlit, proč to dělá. Podstatné je, že PROČ není zisk. Peníze jsou vždy jen výsledkem. Lidé a firmy, které znají své skutečné PROČ, nemusí manipulovat – ony inspirují. Zaměstnanci pak svou práci dělají s radostí a hrdostí, zákazníci zůstávají loajální a podporují je i v těžkých časech.Začněte s PROČ je kniha určená všem, kdo podnikají, vedou, budují nebo plánují začít. Pokud principy zlatého kruhu správně uplatníte, stanete se přínosem pro podniky, neziskové organizace i politické strany. Je to kniha pro ty, kdo chtějí inspirovat ostatní, nebo hledají někoho, kdo bude inspirovat je.

Leadership is not about being in charge, it is about taking care of those in your charge.When we take care of our people, our people will take care of us. They will help see that our cause becomes a reality.In Leaders Eat Last, Simon Sinek, internationally bestselling author of Start With Why, investigates these great leaders from Marine Corps Officers, who don''t just sacrifice their place at the table but often their own comfort and even their lives for those in their care, to the heads of big business and government - each putting aside their own interests to protect their teams.''Simple and elegant, it shows us how leaders should lead'' William Ury, co-author of Getting to Yes

The Game Boy Encyclopedia - Chris Scullion
_The Game Boy Encyclopedia_ is the sixth book in Scottish author and journalist Chris Scullion’s critically-acclaimed series of video game encyclopedias. There are few video game systems as iconic and important as the Nintendo Game Boy. Released in 1989, the handheld’s humble green-tinted display allowed for a low-cost portable console that won over players where it mattered most: the quality of its games. From huge early successes like the iconic Tetris and Super Mario Land to its revival years later with the groundbreaking Pokémon games, the Game Boy stands proudly as one of the greatest gaming systems ever. Its 1998 successor, the Game Boy Color, addressed the one main weak spot in the Game Boy’s armour and offered full-colour games. Combined, nearly 120 million Game Boy and Game Boy Color handhelds were sold worldwide, with both models playing a huge role in so many childhoods (and adulthoods). This book contains every game released in the west for both handhelds: around 580 on the Game Boy and around 560 on the Game Boy Color. With around 1,150 games covered in total, screenshots and trivia factoids for every single title and a light-hearted writing style designed for an informative but entertaining read, _The Game Boy Encyclopedia_ is the definitive guide to a legendary gaming platform.

The People's Game: How to Save Football - Gary Neville
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Neville at his authentic best. [He] is the closest thing to a spokesman there is for English football.' Sunday Times 'Brilliant.' Mail on Sunday 'Gary Neville usually talks a lot of sense, and writes it too . . . Neville's words are timely.' Henry Winter, The Times __________ The beautiful game is under threat. The greed and selfishness of the biggest clubs is harming the sport, with smaller clubs struggling for financial survival and supporters being left behind. It's time to fix football. __________ Football is the people's game. A sport accessible to everyone and enjoyed by millions around the world. But football is broken. Beneath the glamourous sheen of the Premier League, it's a game that's rusting and rotten. The growing influence and wealth of the biggest teams is harming the game, leaving fans out of pocket and smaller clubs clinging to survival. The European Super League, which looked to eradicate competition in favour of guaranteed profits, was just the beginning. This isn't what football is about. Something's got to change. Enough is enough. Gary Neville has had a front-row seat in football for over 30 years, witnessing the sport at every level - as a player, a coach, a pundit and an owner. Most of all, he's a fan. Shocked by the state of the game, Gary looks to find out how we got into this mess, who's responsible, and what we can do about it. The People's Game is Gary's vision for a brighter future. Drawing on interviews with those at the epicentre of the sport's biggest issues - from the role of ownership to the lack of funding in the football league, the rise in racism, ownership models and the future of the women's game - he explains how football has sleepwalked into this mess and offers a new path forward. With stories from his own playing career, as well as insight into some of the biggest footballing decisions in recent history, this is a total look at the game today. This is a passionate, personal and critical account of how football lost its soul, and what we can do to get it back.

The Infinite City - Niall Kishtainy
‘Glorious’ GUARIDAN''Vigorous, rigorous and eminently readable’ SPECTATORLondon is a city of dreamers. A city of possibility and experiment. A city of fervent imaginings and courageous aspirations. For centuries, it has been the capital of utopian thought. The Infinite City tells this history for the first time. In his soaring new book, Niall Kishtainy draws us into the imaginative worlds of Thomas More, the Diggers, William Morris and Extinction Rebellion protestors. He introduces us to thinkers like Thomas Spence who threw coins stamped with the words ‘YOU FOOLS’ into the alleys of Holborn. To Ada Salter who was the first woman borough councillor in London and ignited the Bermondsey Revolution. To ninety-two-year-old Dolly Watson who became the queen of Claremont Road in Leytonstone during the Reclaim the Streets protests in the 1990s. These are inspiring tales of people who drew might from the city around them and fought for their ideologies in an increasingly transforming world.Beginning in the sixteenth century and stretching from the contemporary transformation of the East End docklands to the COVID lockdowns, The Infinite City shows how London’s spirit has been one of visionary imagination amid relentless change and innovation.

The Infinite Alphabet - Cesar A. Hidalgo
We all understand that knowledge shapes the fate of business and the growth of nations, but few of us are aware of the principles that govern its motion. The Infinite Alphabet unravels the laws describing the growth and diffusion of knowledge by taking you from a failed attempt to build a city of knowledge in Ecuador to the growth of China’s innovation economy. Through dozens of stories, you will learn why aircraft manufacturers in Italy began manufacturing scooters after the Second World War and how migrants like Samuel Slater shaped the industrial fabric of the United States.Knowledge is the secret to the wealth of nations. But to understand it, we must accept that it is not a single thing, but an ever-growing tapestry of unique ideas, experiences and received wisdom. An Infinite Alphabet that we are only beginning to fathom.César A. Hidalgo, a world-renowned scholar for his work on economic complexity, will walk you through the “three laws” and the many principles that govern how knowledge grows, moves, and decays. By the end of this journey, you will understand why knowledge grows exponentially in the electronics industry and what mechanisms govern its diffusion across geographic borders, social networks, and professional boundaries.Together these principles will teach you how knowledge shapes the world.

How to improve your game and discover your true potential by increasing your concentration, willpower and confidence Every golfer, whether amateur or pro, who has ever picked up a club knows what it''s like to get the yips - that feeling when you inexplicably lose control of your shot, and become overwhelmed by self-doubt, tension, fear of failure and anxiety.

Putting aside the mechanics of golfing technique and laborious debates about strategy, this classic handbook for golfers of all levels tackles the psychological aspects of the game and reveals how you can perform to your true potential for more than brief moments at a time. Using only his Inner Game principles, without taking a single lesson and playing only once a week, Timothy Gallwey knocked 15 strokes off his game in a year. There is no physical reason why you can''t hit perfect drives or sink long putts more consistently. By applying the Inner Game approach to your own game, you too can see phenomenal improvements to your scorecard.

The Essential Difference - Simon Baron-Cohen
Simon Baron-Cohen''s The Essential Difference: Men, Women and the Extreme Male Brain is an unflinching look at the scientific evidence behind the innate sex differences of the mind. Men and women have always seemed to think in entirely different ways, from conversation and communication to games and gadgets. But are these differences created by society, or do our minds come ready-wired one way or another, with female brains tending towards interaction and male towards organisation? And could this mean that autism - rather than being a mental anomaly - is in fact simply an extreme male brain? Why are female brains better at empathasing? How are male brains designed to analyse systems? And what really makes men and women different? Simon Baron-Cohen explores list-making, lying and two decades of research in a ground-breaking examination of how our brains can be male or female but always completely fascinating. ''Compelling ... Inspiring'' Guardian ''This is no Mars/Venus whimsy, but the conclusion from twenty years of experiment'' Evening Standard ''A devastating contribution to the gender debate'' Mail on Sunday ''A fascinating, thought-provoking book'' Observer Simon Baron-Cohen is Professor at Cambridge University in the fields of psychology and psychiatry.

How carefully should you answer when asked what you''d take to a desert island? What do you do if your parents are reading your diary? How useful is a Swiss Army Knife? And what''s A Brief History of Time really about?Armed with a sharp eye for the absurd and an overwhelming sense of doom, Simon Rich explores the ridiculousness of our everyday lives, from the most minute of anxieties to one of life''s biggest questions: Does God really have a plan for us? Yes, it turns out. Now if only He could remember what it was ...''Simon Rich is very much laugh-out-loud funny. He can conjure authentic, from-the-abdomen laughter on almost every page. He stacks surrealism on top of slick satire on top of pure childish silliness in such a brilliant and condensed way, there are sometimes three laugh-out-loud moments within the same paragraph ...

The Murder Game - John Curran
From The Murder of Roger Ackroyd to Magpie Murders, and related diversions including cryptic crosswords and Cain’s Jawbone, The Murder Game examines the games authors played with their readers and the importance of puzzles in Golden Age whodunits.With books flourishing in the 1920s and ’30s like never before, no genre was more innovative or popular than detective fiction. It was an era that saw the emergence of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, John Dickson Carr, Ellery Queen and dozens of other authors who became household names for a generation of readers.The Golden Age of Detection has enjoyed a great resurgence of interest in recent years, with publishers mining back catalogues to bring the best of yesteryear to very receptive new audiences. What is it about a literary movement that took off in the 1920s that still appeals to book lovers in the 2020s?In this authoritative new study, John Curran reveals that it is the ludic qualities of classic crime fiction that continue to intrigue. At its heart is the ‘whodunit’ game between writer and reader, but there is also the game between detective and murderer, between publisher and book-buyer, even between the writers themselves.Coinciding with an increase in leisure time and literacy, the Golden Age also saw the development of the crossword, the growth of bridge and Mahjong, the enduring popularity of jigsaws and the emergence of Cluedo – all activities requiring the ‘little grey cells’. The Murder Game considers all of these, and many other sporting and competitive recreations, helping to explain the reading public’s ongoing love affair with the Golden Age.
