 Monsters and Monarchs Serial Killers in Classical Myth and History【電子書籍】[ Debbie Felton ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Jack the Ripper. Jeffrey Dahmer. John Wayne Gacy. Locusta of Gaul. If that last name doesn’t seem to fit with the others, it’s likely because our modern society largely believes that serial killers are a recent phenomenon. Not so, argues Debbie Feltonーin fact, there’s ample evidence to show that serial killers stalked the ancient world just as they do the modern one.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Felton brings this evidence to light in ＜em＞Monsters and Monarchs＜/em＞, and in doing so, forces us to rethink the assumption that serial killers arise from problems unique to modern society. Exploring a trove of stories from classical antiquity, she uncovers mythological monsters and human criminals that fit many serial killer profiles: the highway killers confronted by the Greek hero Theseus, such as Procrustes, who tortured and mutilated their victims; the Sphinx, or “strangler,” from the story of Oedipus; child-killing demons and witches, which could explain abnormal infant deaths; and historical figures such as Locusta of Gaul, the most notorious poisoner in the early Roman Empire. Redefining our understanding of serial killers and their origins, ＜em＞Monsters and Monarchs＜/em＞ changes how we view both ancient Greek and Roman society and the modern-day killers whose stories still captivate the public today.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 5,408円 |

Learn to shape your life without fearー**＜strong＞at work, at home, in relationships, and beyond.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞“Compelling,” (Cal Newport) “Liberating,” (Amy Dickinson) and “as entertaining as it is important” (Steven Levitt).＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Simone Biles quit the Olympics. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quit The Firm. Millions of people have quit their jobs, seeking happiness and defining success on their own terms. Is it a mistake? As Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Julia Keller found out, it’s not. And, in fact, it might even save your life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Diving into ‘the neuroscience of nope’ and the cultural messages that drive our reluctance to throw in the towel, Keller dismantles the myth of perseverance once and for all. Because grit isn't always great. Sticking it out doesn't always pay off. And quitting can be an unexpected act of self-love.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Quitting: A Life Strategy＜/em＞ reminds us that, in order to live meaningful, satisfying lives, we have to be able to say “no”ーfull stop.

 The Alexiad of Anna Komnene Artistic Strategy in the Making of a Myth【電子書籍】[ Penelope Buckley ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This is the first full-scale study of the literary art of Anna Komnene's Alexiad. Her history of her father's reign is well-known and much used by Byzantinists and historians of the First Crusade, but the art with which it shapes its central character has not been fully examined or understood. This book argues that the work is both history and tragedy; the characterization of Alexios I Komnenos is cumulative; it develops; the models for his idealization change; much of the action takes place in his mind and the narrative relays and amplifies his thought while building a dense picture of the world in which he acts. Engaging critically and responsively with other texts, Komnene uses the full range of current literary genres to portray the ideal culture of his rule. She matches her art of literary control to his of government over the adverse forces of his time.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 5,862円 |

Uncovering the Truth Behind Shakespeare's Legacy【電子書籍】[ Appleton Morgan ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "The Shakespearean Myth: William Shakespeare and Circumstantial Evidence," Appleton Morgan meticulously dismantles the longstanding myths surrounding the life and works of William Shakespeare. Through a blend of literary analysis and rigorous examination of historical records, Morgan presents a compelling case for the skepticism surrounding Shakespeare's authorship. This scholarly work is grounded in a critical literary style that combines engaging prose with an investigative tone, which appropriately situates it within the broader context of Shakespearean studies, inviting readers to ponder the implications of authorship in a literary canon reverberating with cultural significance. Appleton Morgan, a prominent literary critic, was deeply influenced by the burgeoning debates of his time regarding authorship, particularly during the late 19th century when questions about literary identity were gaining traction. His extensive background in literature, coupled with a persistent inquiry into Shakespeare's biography, propelled him to challenge established narratives. Morgan's academic credentials and keen analytical mind lend credibility to his arguments, creating an essential discourse in understanding how literature is often intertwined with myth and misinformation. For those intrigued by literary criticism or the enduring enigma of Shakespeare, Morgan's exhaustive research and articulate presentation make "The Shakespearean Myth" an essential read. It encourages both scholars and casual readers alike to engage critically with literary history, promoting a deeper appreciation for the complexities of authorship and the overarching myths that permeate our cultural heritage.

 The Myth of Normal Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture【電子書籍】[ Gabor Mat? MD ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞**The instant ＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞ bestseller＜/p＞ ＜p＞By the acclaimed author of ＜em＞In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts＜/em＞, a groundbreaking investigation into the causes of illness, a bracing critique of how our society breeds disease, and a pathway to health and healing.**＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this revolutionary book, renowned physician Gabor Mat? eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their healthcare systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug; more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high blood pressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than 30 percent of the population. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness is on the rise. So what is really “normal” when it comes to health?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Over four decades of clinical experience, Mat? has come to recognize the prevailing understanding of “normal” as false, neglecting the roles that trauma and stress, and the pressures of modern-day living, exert on our bodies and our minds at the expense of good health. For all our expertise and technological sophistication, Western medicine often fails to treat the whole person, ignoring how today’s culture stresses the body, burdens the immune system, and undermines emotional balance. Now Mat? brings his perspective to the great untangling of common myths about what makes us sick, connects the dots between the maladies of individuals and the declining soundness of societyーand offers a compassionate guide for health and healing. Cowritten with his son Daniel, ＜em＞The Myth Of Normal＜/em＞ is Mat?’s most ambitious and urgent book yet.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,521円 |
 The Myth of the Imperial Presidency How Public Opinion Checks the Unilateral Executive【電子書籍】[ Dino P. Christenson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Throughout American history, presidents have shown a startling power to act independently of Congress and the courts. On their own initiative, presidents have taken the country to war, abolished slavery, shielded undocumented immigrants from deportation, declared a national emergency at the border, and more, leading many to decry the rise of an imperial presidency. But given the steep barriers that usually prevent Congress and the courts from formally checking unilateral power, what stops presidents from going it alone even more aggressively? The answer, Dino P. Christenson and Douglas L. Kriner argue, lies in the power of public opinion.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With robust empirical data and compelling case studies, the authors reveal the extent to which domestic public opinion limits executive might. Presidents are emboldened to pursue their own agendas when they enjoy strong public support, and constrained when they don’t, since unilateral action risks inciting political pushback, jeopardizing future initiatives, and further eroding their political capital. Although few Americans instinctively recoil against unilateralism, Congress and the courts can sway the public’s view via their criticism of unilateral policies. Thus, other branches can still check the executive branch through political means. As long as presidents are concerned with public opinion, Christenson and Kriner contend that fears of an imperial presidency are overblown.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 4,167円 |

 The Myth of Artificial Intelligence Why Computers Can’t Think the Way We Do【電子書籍】[ Erik J. Larson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞**“Exposes the vast gap between the actual science underlying AI and the dramatic claims being made for it.” ーJohn Horgan＜/p＞ ＜p＞“If you want to know about AI, read this book…It shows how a supposedly futuristic reverence for Artificial Intelligence retards progress when it denigrates our most irreplaceable resource for any future progress: our own human intelligence.” ーPeter Thiel**＜/p＞ ＜p＞Ever since Alan Turing, AI enthusiasts have equated artificial intelligence with human intelligence. A computer scientist working at the forefront of natural language processing, Erik Larson takes us on a tour of the landscape of AI to reveal why this is a profound mistake.＜/p＞ ＜p＞AI works on inductive reasoning, crunching data sets to predict outcomes. But humans don’t correlate data sets. We make conjectures, informed by context and experience. And we haven’t a clue how to program that kind of intuitive reasoning, which lies at the heart of common sense. Futurists insist AI will soon eclipse the capacities of the most gifted mind, but Larson shows how far we are from superintelligenceーand what it would take to get there.＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Larson worries that we’re making two mistakes at once, defining human intelligence down while overestimating what AI is likely to achieve…Another concern is learned passivity: our tendency to assume that AI will solve problems and our failure, as a result, to cultivate human ingenuity.”＜br /＞ ーDavid A. Shaywitz, ＜em＞Wall Street Journal＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“A convincing case that artificial general intelligenceーmachine-based intelligence that matches our ownーis beyond the capacity of algorithmic machine learning because there is a mismatch between how humans and machines know what they know.”＜br /＞ ーSue Halpern, ＜em＞New York Review of Books＜/em＞＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 2,598円 |

 The "Rape" of Japan The Myth of Mass Sexual Violence during the Allied Occupation【電子書籍】[ Brian P. Walsh ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Most Americans regard the postwar Occupation of Japan as a prime example of American magnanimity. They are blithely unaware of the prevailing Japanese myth that upon entering Japan, U.S. servicemen “engaged in an orgy of looting, sexual violence, and drunken brawling” and that during the first ten days of the Occupation there were 1,336 reported cases of rape in Kanagawa Prefecture alone. The myth goes further with claims that U.S. military officers demanded the Japanese government set up brothels for use by American troops and that when embarrassed officials in Washington, D.C., forced Occupation officials to close the brothels, the servicemembers went on a rampage, resulting in (according to official records) reported rapes of Japanese women skyrocketing from an average of 40 to 330 cases a day.＜br /＞ ?＜br /＞ The truth is that none of this happened. Nevertheless, large numbers of Japanese still believe these allegations. As the passions of war have faded, the currency of such stories has only grown, and they are now regarded by many as fact. This false narrative of mass sexual violence and the organized exploitation of Japanese women by American military forces is also widely accepted among historians of World War II and its aftermath.＜br /＞ ?＜br /＞ Brian P. Walsh, a Princeton-educated scholar, thoroughly debunks this false narrative in a brave and compelling book that reflects his in-depth research into both American and Japanese primary sources. Historian Ed Drea has praised Walsh’s work on this topic as a “masterful refutation of perceived wisdom. It is original historical research and writing at its best and is a significant contribution to the study of sexual violence in a military context and to the U.S. occupation of Japan.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞Walsh sets the records straight, by showing that MacArthur’s General Headquarters established women’s rights on a more secure foundation than anywhere else in East Asia, provided a far safer physical environment than most other occupations, and all but eliminated endemic sexually transmitted diseases. These diseases ruined millions of lives, prematurely ending as many as five thousand per year, including those of more than a thousand children. ＜em＞The “Rape” of Japan＜/em＞ is a long-overdue refutation and exposure of a relentless propaganda campaign that has persisted for more than seven decades.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 4,161円 |
 The Meritocracy Trap How America's Foundational Myth Feeds Inequality, Dismantles the Middle Class, and Devours the Elite【電子書籍】[ Daniel Markovits ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞A revolutionary new argument from eminent Yale Law professor Daniel Markovits attacking the false promise of meritocracy＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞It is an axiom of American life that advantage should be earned through ability and effort. Even as the country divides itself at every turn, the meritocratic ideal ? that social and economic rewards should follow achievement rather than breeding ? reigns supreme. Both Democrats and Republicans insistently repeat meritocratic notions. Meritocracy cuts to the heart of who we are. It sustains the American dream.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But what if, both up and down the social ladder, meritocracy is a sham? Today, meritocracy has become exactly what it was conceived to resist: a mechanism for the concentration and dynastic transmission of wealth and privilege across generations. Upward mobility has become a fantasy, and the embattled middle classes are now more likely to sink into the working poor than to rise into the professional elite. At the same time, meritocracy now ensnares even those who manage to claw their way to the top, requiring rich adults to work with crushing intensity, exploiting their expensive educations in order to extract a return. All this is not the result of deviations or retreats from meritocracy but rather stems directly from meritocracy’s successes.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is the radical argument that Daniel Markovits prosecutes with rare force. Markovits is well placed to expose the sham of meritocracy. Having spent his life at elite universities, he knows from the inside the corrosive system we are trapped within. Markovits also knows that, if we understand that meritocratic inequality produces near-universal harm, we can cure it. When ＜em＞The Meritocracy Trap＜/em＞ reveals the inner workings of the meritocratic machine, it also illuminates the first steps outward, towards a new world that might once again afford dignity and prosperity to the American people.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,521円 |
 Mind is a Myth【電子書籍】[ U. G. Krishnamurti ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "Mind is a Myth," U. G. Krishnamurti offers a radical examination of human consciousness, dismantling prevailing notions of the mind and selfhood. With a style that is both poetic and incisive, Krishnamurti challenges the reader to confront the conditioning that underpins thought itself. His exploration transcends traditional philosophical paradigms, drawing upon aspects of Eastern philosophies while rigorously critiquing their foundations. The text defies categorization, oscillating between philosophy, psychology, and spiritual discourse, aiming to awaken an understanding beyond the conceptual confines of the mind. U. G. Krishnamurti, often seen as a maverick thinker, draws from his own experiences of disillusionment with established spiritual traditions and intellectual thought. Having once been considered a disciple of a prominent spiritual leader, Krishnamurti's journey led him to articulate a distinct viewpoint on the non-existence of the 'self' as a separable entity. His insights are steeped in a deep sense of personal inquiry, resembling that of a modern-day sage guiding readers towards a profound realization of existence uncolored by mental constructs. "Mind is a Myth" is an essential read for anyone intrigued by the complexities of consciousness and the illusions of identity. This book invites you to dismantle preconceptions and embark on a transformative intellectual journey. By engaging with Krishnamurti's revolutionary ideas, readers will find themselves encouraged to cultivate a direct encounter with reality, free from mental distractions.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 300円 |

 Prometheus in Music Representations of the Myth in the Romantic Era【電子書籍】[ Paul Bertagnolli ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The ancient Greek myth of Prometheus, the primordial Titan who defied the Olympian gods by stealing fire from the heavens as a gift for humanity, enjoyed unprecedented popularity during the Romantic era. An international coterie of writers such as Goethe, Monti, Byron, the Shelleys, Sainte-H ne, Coleridge, Browning, and Bridges engaged with the legend, while composers such as Beethoven, Reichardt, Schubert, Wolf, Liszt, Hal Saint-Sa Holm Faur Parry, Goldmark, and Bargiel based works of diverse genres on the fable. Romantic authors and composers developed a unique perspective on the myth, emphasizing its themes of rebellion, punishment for transgression and creative autonomy, in great contrast to artists of the preceding era, who more characteristically ignored the tribulations of Prometheus and depicted him as the animator of a na Arcadian mankind who, when awakened from their spiritual dormancy, expressed astonishment at the wonders of nature and paid homage to the Titan as a new god. Paul Bertagnolli charts the progress of the myth during the nineteenth century, as it articulates an extraordinary variety of issues pertaining to culture, society, aesthetics, and philosophy. Drawing on archival research, dance history, sketch studies, literary theory, linear analysis, topos theory, and reception history, individual chapters demonstrate that the legend served as a vehicle to express opinions on subjects as diverse as aristocratic patronage, movements of the body on the public stage, rebellion against political and religious authority, outright atheism, humanitarianism of the German Enlightenment, interest in the music of Greek antiquity, industrialization, nationalism inflamed by war, populism, and the aesthetics of musical form. Composers often resorted to varied and unorthodox musical techniques in order to reflect such remarkable subjects: Beethoven outraged critics by implying a key other than the tonic at the outset of the overture to＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 12,210円 |

Krishnamurti: The Mystique of Enlightenment Courage to Stand Alone Mind is a Myth No Way Out Thought is Your Enemy The Natural State Uppaluri Gopala Krishnamurti (1918-2007), better known as U.G., was an Indian speaker who questioned the state of enlightenment as a real thing. Instead of using the word "enlightenment", he used "calamity" and "natural state" to describe an event in his life. He claimed that the return to the natural state is a rare, a causal, biological occurrence, an event which he referred to in his own life as "the calamity". Because of this, he discouraged people from pursuing the "natural state" as a spiritual goal. He rejected the very basis of thought and in doing so negated all systems of thought and knowledge. Hence he explained his assertions were experiential and not speculative ?

 Harry Potter and Myth: The Legends behind Cursed Child, Fantastic Beasts, and all the Hero’s Journeys【電子書籍】[ Valerie Estelle Frankel ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Adoring fans have explored much about Harry Potter, especially his classic hero’s journey. However, many don’t notice how the other characters suffer through the same struggle at every stage of life ? one Dumbledore and Neville Longbottom pass but Draco Malfoy and Voldemort do not. Exploding into the Wizarding World in 2016, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child offered an unusual double hero’s journey for Albus Severus and Scorpius and a twisted antiheroine’s journey for Delphi. This book demystifies all these, unveiling the nostalgic symbolism behind the play’s auguries, baby blankets, and time-turners. 2016 also introduced Ilvermorney, the American Hogwarts, and its valiant, loving founder Isolt Sayre. Uncovering her folklore and symbolism reveals a secret war between the Celtic old world and the bold pioneer spirit of the new. Meanwhile, Rowling’s original characters overturn Greek, Roman, Norse, and Celtic myths, even as Harry unites King Arthur’s hallows and claims the sword as destined king. Revisioning folklore from England to Africa is one of Rowling’s talents, especially in Beedle the Bard. Rowling also nods to history, from Voldemort’s World War II childhood and Nazi prejudice to the dazzling glitter of the 1920s, setting for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. For serious fans, an entire world of mythology waits below the surface of the ever-expanding Potterverse.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 385円 |
 The Routledge Handbook to Music under German Occupation, 1938-1945 Propaganda, Myth and Reality【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Following their entry into Austria and the Sudetenland in the late 1930s, the Germans attempted to impose a policy of cultural imperialism on the countries they went on to occupy during World War II. Almost all music institutions in the occupied lands came under direct German control or were subject to severe scrutiny and censorship, the prime objective being to change the musical fabric of these nations and force them to submit to the strictures of Nazi ideology.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This pioneering collection of essays is the first in the English language to look in more detail at the musical consequences of German occupation during a dark period in European history. It embraces a wide range of issues, presenting case studies involving musical activity in a number of occupied European cities, as well as in countries that were part of the Axis or had established close diplomatic relations with Germany.

In addition, there is some reflection on the post-war implications of German occupation for the musical environment in Europe.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Music under German Occupation＜/em＞ is written for all music-lovers, students, professionals and academics who have particular interests in 20th-century music and/or the vicissitudes of European cultural life during World War II.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 10,255円 |
 The Myth of Executive Functioning Missing Elements in Conceptualization, Evaluation, and Assessment【電子書籍】[ Leonard F. Koziol ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Executive functioning: we measure it, assess it, document its development in youth, track its decline in age and use it as a basis for diagnoses, treatment planning and-of course-theories. Could it be possible that science has spent decades chasing a cognitive phantom?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Noting the lack of consensus concerning definition, component skills, and location within the brain, ＜em＞The Myth of Executive Functioning＜/em＞ calls basic assumptions, prominent theories, commonly used test methods, and even the phrase ＜em＞executive＜/em＞ ＜em＞functioning＜/em＞ into question. The book's deceptively simple argument takes an evolutionary/neuroscience look at the cornerstones of cognitive organization, including memory, planning, decision-making and adaptation to novel circumstances. From there, gaps are identified between systems of cognitive control and those behaviors that are evaluated in neuropsychological testing-gaps that contribute to the disconnect between how science views mind and body, brain and behavior. The author's problem-solving metaphor places new emphasis on stimulus processing and on the relationship between movement and thought as he offers thought-provoking perspectives on:＜/p＞ ＜p＞The limits of neuropsychological constructs.＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞The components of adaptive thinking.＜/li＞ ＜li＞The automatic aspects of problem solving.＜/li＞ ＜li＞The left-brain/right-brain dichotomy.＜/li＞ ＜li＞Problems with the domain approach to cognition.＜/li＞ ＜li＞New paradigms for testing cognitive functioning.＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞ ＜p＞A controversial presentation with the potential to change clinical practice and training, ＜em＞The Myth of Executive Functioning＜/em＞ will be read, debated and learned from by neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, cognitive neuroscientists and rehabilitation specialists.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 8,507円 |

 Slack Getting Past Burnout, Busywork, and the Myth of Total Efficiency【電子書籍】[ Tom DeMarco ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞To most companies, efficiency means profits and growth. But what if your “efficient” companyーthe one with the reduced headcount and the “stretch” goalsーis actually slowing down and losing money? What if your employees are burning out doing the work of two or more people, leaving them no time for planning, prioritizing, or even lunch? What if you’re losing employees faster than you can hire them? What if your superefficient company is suddenly falling behind?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Tom DeMarco, a leading management consultant to both Fortune 500 and up-and-coming companies, has discovered a counterintuitive principle that explains why efficiency improvement can sometimes make a company ＜em＞slow＜/em＞. If your real organizational goal is to become fast (responsive and agile), then he proposes that what you need is not more efficiency, but more slack.＜/p＞ ＜p＞What is “slack”? Slack is the degree of freedom in a company that allows it to change. It could be something as simple as adding an assistant to a department, letting high-priced talent spend less time at the photo copier and more time making key decisions. Slack could also appear in the way a company treats employees: instead of loading them up with overwork, a company designed with slack allows its people room to breathe, increase effectiveness, and reinvent themselves.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In thirtyーthree short chapters filled with creative learning tools and charts, you and your company can learn how to:＜/p＞ ＜p＞make sense of the Efficiency/Flexibility quandary＜/p＞ ＜p＞run directly toward risk instead of away from it＜/p＞ ＜p＞strengthen the creative role of middle management＜/p＞ ＜p＞make change and growth work together for even greater profits＜/p＞ ＜p＞A innovative approach that works for new- and old-economy companies alike, this revolutionary handbook will debunk commonly held assumptions about real-world management, and give you and your company a brand-new model for achieving and maintaining true effectivenessーand a healthier bottom line.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,370円 |
