Mindfulness is a way to pay attention to the present moment, without judgment. Companies such as Apple, Google, General Mills and Deutsche Bank use mindfulness to reduce stress and conflict in the workplace. By practicing mindfulness, you will be able to increase your emotional intelligence and productivity as well as communicate more effectively. The book gives specific techniques such as S.B.N.R.R. (Stop, Breathe, Notice, Reflect and Respond).
The original work from the author who popularized the phrase "emotional intelligence"
In Thrive, Arianna Huffington makes an impassioned and compelling case for the need to redefine what it means to be successful in today's world. In addition to the traditional money and power to define success, she proposes a "Third Metric" - living a healthy, balanced and meaningful life. She offers clear suggestions and provides memorable stories on introducing and maintaining the Third Metric in your life.
This book builds on Morgenstern's Organizing from the Inside Out and enhances her three step program of Analyze, Strategize, Attack. It includes a quick start program with her WADE technique and time mapping tools.
As leaders, our communication skills require us to carefully choose our words and tone. This book provides ranges of phases to respond to a situation and help to think through language and options. One example includes responses when someone is being stubborn - the professional response "There is probably more than one way to look at this" and the unprofessional response "You're as stubborn as a mule!" - with 23 gradient examples in between. Chapters include Conflicts and Anger, Negotiations, Problem Solving and Diplomacy.
Building on his "Workday Now" organizational approach, Linenberger uses Control, Create, Connect to connect or remind us of what personally inspires us in our jobs. He builds on those inspirations to identify vision goals and organizational approaches to meet those goals.
Allen's premise - our productivity is directly proportional to our ability to relax. Only when our minds are clear and our thoughts are organized can we achieve effective results and unleash our creative potential. He provides tips on overall organization, email management, goals and shifting priorities, and overcoming feeling overwhelmed.
Daniel Goleman offers a groundbreaking look at today’s scarcest resource and the secret to high performance and fulfillment: attention. He shows why high-achievers need all three kinds of focus (inner, other, and outer), and explains how those who rely on Smart Practices - mindfulness meditation, focused preparation and recovery, positive emotions and connections, and mental "prosthetics" that help them improve habits, add new skills, and sustain greatness - excel while others do not.
Psychologists have discovered that our minds are ruled by two different systems - the rational mind and the emotional mind - that compete for control. The rational mind wants a great beach body; the emotional mind wants that Oreo cookie. In Switch, the Heaths show how everyday people - employees and managers, parents and nurses - have united both minds and, as a result, achieved dramatic results. In a compelling, story-driven narrative, the Heaths bring together decades of counterintuitive research in psychology, sociology, and other fields to shed new light on how we can effect transformative change. Switch shows that successful changes follow a pattern, a pattern you can use to make the changes that matter to you, whether your interest is in changing the world or changing your waistline.
