Why We Must Work
Humans evolved to experience work as pleasurable and continued to find it pleasurable for the first 98% of our history, often likening it to play. The negative associations we see now with "work" stem from the extreme inequality and exploitation accompanying the rise of the state 5,500 years ago. Consequently, today many people view work negatively, seeing it as a means to gain income to enable consumption as opposed to serving as a means for creativity, community, and self-fulfillment. In Why We Must Work, Jon D. Wisman draws upon economics, philosophy, evolutionary psychology, social anthropology, and history to explore how work has been experienced and understood over the course of history. In addressing current conditions, he notes the absurdity that, while we live with unparalleled abundance, some workers suffer unemployment and most are not free in their workplaces, often being bossed about. Equally absurd, given our abundance, is the extreme inequality that results in pervasive insecurity, stress, and pessimism. Laissez-faire ideology legitimates the public policies that generate this inequality and these work conditions while depicting ever greater consumption as opposed to meaningful work as the means to greater happiness. Wisman offers an attractive alternative vision of our future, grounded in two reforms to make work again fulfilling: guaranteed employment and workplace democracy. Guaranteed employment would provide security and eliminate poverty while providing everyone with the social and self-respect of being a productive member of society. Measures to bring about worker ownership and control of their firms would bring freedom and democracy to the workplace. Both reforms conform to cherished values while preserving capitalism's two principal institutions of private property and markets.

Your Best Meeting Ever
INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER "Everyone wants better meetings, but no one seems to know how--until now." --Reid Hoffman, New York Times bestselling author and cofounder of LinkedIn "Warning: This read may save you countless hours." --Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author and host of the podcast Re: Thinking From Rebecca Hinds, PhD--organizational expert who has helped Fortune 500 companies fix their fractured collaboration--comes a bold, battle-tested blueprint for tackling the workplace's biggest time-wasters: meetings. Meetings are broken. They are relics from a bygone era of top-down hierarchies and factory-like procedures--designed to issue orders, flaunt power, and keep the hierarchy intact. In today's digital, collaborate-or-bust era, this model isn't just inefficient, it actively harms employees and organizations. Drawing on decades of research and stories from leading companies like Google, Salesforce, Pixar, YouTube, and Dropbox, Your Best Meeting Ever provides a blueprint to transform your meetings from monotonous, soul-crushing time sinks into powerful tools for collaboration. The secret? Treat them like products. Using seven product design principles, you'll turn your meetings into well-designed products that actually drive work forward and serve your most important users--the people in your organization. You'll learn: - Why every organization needs a "Meeting Doomsday" to reset collaboration, and how to strategically orchestrate one at your company. - How to fix your communication system so meetings are a last resort, not a knee-jerk default. - Which meeting metrics matter--and which do more harm than good. - How to inject moments of delight into your meetings so people genuinely want to show up. - When to integrate technology into your meetings so you enhance collaboration, rather than detract from it. More than just a practical guide, Your Best Meeting Ever is a rallying call to rethink how we collaborate in the modern workplace. Whether you're a leader or an individual contributor, this powerful book will nudge you to be audacious--to challenge the existing norms and embrace new paradigms--so you'll never dread another meeting again.
Organisational Behaviour, Communication, and Digitalisation in a Changing World
This book brings together leading scholars and practitioners in organizational behaviour and communication to explore the complex relationship between employees and their organisations and the associated workplace outcomes. This comprehensive volume provides insights, theories, and practical strategies to understand and address the multifaceted nature of organisational dynamics in the face of constant and accelerated change. The first section of the book delves into the theoretical foundations of organisational behaviour. Some of the contributors in this section offer a comprehensive analysis of the socio-cultural and psychological aspects that influence individual behaviour within organisations. Building upon this foundation, the subsequent sections of the book examine various dimensions of organisational behaviour, including leadership, teamwork, diversity, and conflict resolution. One of the focuses of this edited volume is the examination of emerging technologies and their effects on the operation of organisations. Hence, some of the chapters examine the management of employee-organisations using digital platforms and explore employee engagement, collaboration, the effect of organisational support, supervisor support, or lack thereof. By delving into the role of digital technologies in the context of a changing world, the book offers valuable insights into the development of contemporary organisations, especially how technology is leveraged to foster a sense of connectivity in dispersed work environments.
