The new findings explain why so many of the established ways of managing things are inadequate for the task of motivating and harnessing high performance. Reinventing management thinking gives you principles, concepts, tools and techniques that will transform your organizational destiny and incidentally make life a lot easier as well. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith the help of modern science, the author explains that the key factor holding enterprises back is the common experience of high-stress and resultant low individual performance. Jeremy Old then goes on to show you vividly that because of stress, group outcomes everywhere are woefully below the full human potential latent in the workforce. He explains the antidote in clear logical terms. And that is to learn how to work with human nature. Whether you are designing the organizational structure, work activity or employee conditions, when you align your design with human nature you release a surge of energy that transforms commitment, focus, productivity, planning and decision-making outcomes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is an immensely practical book drawing on a wealth of easy to digest research findings as well as the author's twenty-five years' experience as both a business improvement specialist and psychotherapist. The author's wealth of experience enables him to cram his book full of down-to-earth advice and observations. And these points will help you modify your enterprise or work group, so that it works with human nature not against it. His own day-to-day experience in improving performance across dozens of enterprises large and small has convinced him that, if you work with human nature, you quickly access the full potential of all the employees and as a result the whole organization leaps forward. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReinventing management thinking shows you: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to get your team's inherent survival instincts working for you rather than against you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to work with twelve innate biological needs to liberate employee creativity, loyalty, commitment and focus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow creating a positive work atmosphere boosts energy levels by 60%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to escape the trap of stress-driven quick-fix decision-making.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to prevent existing beliefs obstructing organizational learning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe simple steps to build a financial business case for employee well-being.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTen golden rules from neuroscience that underpin new management thinking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe twelve qualities to cultivate successful leadership.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight methods to help you reduce dangerous bias in planning and decision-making.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy the dreaming brain is a key ingredient in organizational success.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to tap into the intelligence, problem-solving ability and experience of every brain in the organization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to use the '30 stressors model' to design stress out of your organization.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIOSH Magazine \u003ci\u003e\"The book's main theme is that stress makes our managers and organizations dysfunctional ...
