Labor Economics in an Islamic Framework
The labor market in Islam is governed by the Islamic laws of fairness, justice, and reward that is equivalent to the job done. Most of the literature in the field discusses the normative aspect of the labor market, whereas few attempts can be seen to address more positive aspects. There is a need for new theoretical and empirical models for the Islamic labor market, which should differ from established approaches.This book provides a comprehensive overview of the nature, scope, and dimensions of the labor market in an Islamic context, from both theoretical and practical perspectives. It presents and discusses labor economics and then compares the similarities and differences between conventional and Islamic views of the labor market, explaining where they meet, and critically justifying why they differ, under the umbrella of Shari'ah. The book raises pertinent issues, which it analyzes from both standpoints and widens the discourse to include norms, morality, and related institutions such as social security and welfare. A unique feature of the book is that it examines labor economics practices among a specific group of countries, and studies the labor conditions within these countries, where the majority of the population follow the teachings of Islam in their daily lives. The book proposes practical strategies for the development of new models for the Islamic labor market which are compatible with the modern world.The book will enable academics and practitioners of Islamic economics to make economic sense of Shari'ah compliance and human resource development.

Meetings Matter
Meetings have become a pain point for millions. Many see them as useless sessions that take time away from meaningful tasks. But one consultant with more than 30 years of experience has a different perspective--that meetings matter and can be mastered. In his new book, Meetings Matter, Paul Axtell emphasizes the importance of meetings, and he redesigns them using the vital foundation of conversation. With real-life examples and actionable advice, he shows you how to design meetings for results, lead them to achieve agendas that move projects forward, and even allow time to build the relationships that make working together in a remarkable way possible. This book will revolutionize the meeting--moving it from that dreaded obligation to the most powerful way to get things done in business and in life. Meetings are at the heart of effective organizations. Each meeting is an opportunity to clarify issues, set direction, sharpen focus, create alignment, and move ambitions forward. We have to change the way we think about meetings--the way we design and lead them and, most importantly, how we manage what happens between meetings. Axtell offers eight powerful strategies for fixing our meeting problems, and within each strategy, he provides concrete advice you can put into action immediately--such as limiting participants, being vigilant about what gets on the agenda, designing the conversation for each agenda item, and managing the experience for everyone in the room so people leave feeling heard and appreciated. Further, he explains how meetings can be your primary way to create and maintain your network of relationships. "We go to meetings. A lot of them," writes Axtell. "So let's put creating and building relationships in front of us as one of the desired outcomes. What would you do differently if you looked at each meeting as an opportunity to add to your network?" Wise and well considered, Meetings Matter is a first-class primer not only on remarkable productivity, but on inspiring us to use meetings to build better relationships.

Strategies that successful career changers use-and how to make them work for you.Nearly all of us have entertained the notion of changing careers. Feeling burned out at work, unfulfilled, or just plain unhappy with whatever we're doing, we long to reinvent ourselves on a new and different career path. But how do we make this transition successfully?In this update of the groundbreaking classic, bestselling author Herminia Ibarra presents a model for career reinvention that flies in the face of everything we've learned from "career experts"--and is tailor-made for changing careers in today's uncertain world. Career transition is not a linear path toward some predetermined identity, according to Ibarra, but a crooked journey along which we try on a host of "possible selves" we might become.

She shows how you can use these strategies to: Explore your possible selvesCraft and execute "identity experiments"Create "small wins" that keep momentum goingConnect with role models and mentors who can ease the transitionArrange new learnings into a coherent storyNow with action-oriented exercises to help you work successfully through your own career transition, this updated edition gives you the tools to discover a new path and find success in your new career.
A Study of Labor Mobility in China
The title investigates rural labor mobility in China since 2003, an important phenomenon in the process of Chinese economic transition, influential in economic growth at the macro level and individual wellbeing at the micro level.Based on empirical analysis, the study identifies and evaluates the characteristics, driving forces and impact of the migration and mobility of the rural labor force. The following factors are considered to impact rural workers' mobility decisions and are thoroughly discussed in each chapter: (1) convergence in the level of regional income, (2) industrial structure and the age structure of the workforce, (3) the household registration system, (4) the income gap, (5) the issue of children that are left behind, (6) the health status of rural migrant workers and (7) their social networks. Drawing on new research methods, the final chapter reassesses the impact of rural parents' migration to the city and the overall wellbeing of their children left behind at home, challenging the well-accepted view that there is a negative correlation between the two.The book will appeal to scholars and students interested in labor economics, Chinese economy, sociology, demography, migrant population and especially labor mobility in China.
Digital Body Language
An instant Wall Street Journal BestsellerNow in paperback--the definitive guide to communicating and connecting in a hybrid world.Email replies that show up a week later. Video chats full of "oops sorry no you go" and "can you hear me?!" Ambiguous text-messages. Weird punctuation you can't make heads or tails of. Is it any wonder that communication takes us so much time and effort to figure out? How did we lose our innate capacity to understand each other? Humans rely on body language to connect and build trust, but with most of our communication happening from behind a screen, traditional body language signals are no longer visible--or are they? In Digital Body Language, Erica Dhawan, a go-to thought leader on collaboration and a passionate communication junkie, combines cutting edge research with engaging storytelling to decode the new signals and cues that have replaced traditional body language across genders, generations, and culture. In real life, we lean in, uncross our arms, smile, nod and make eye contact to show we listen and care. Online, reading carefully is the new listening. Writing clearly is the new empathy. And a phone or video call is worth a thousand emails.Digital Body Language will turn your daily misunderstandings into a set of collectively understood laws that foster connection, no matter the distance. Dhawan investigates a wide array of exchanges--from large conferences and video meetings to daily emails, texts, IMs, and conference calls--and offers insights and solutions to build trust and clarity with anyone in our ever-changing world.
The Kindness Economy
The Kindness Economy is a powerful new force for change in business that will benefit not just society but the planet. The decade old profit first driven business strategy of not "giving a fuck" about people or the planet is no longer tenable for the multitude of challenges we face both environmentally, and socially. Today we need to switch around our priorities-first people, then the planet, then profit. In that order. From just chasing value (profit), to adding values (kindness), this book looks at the successful examples and strategies to build better society, better cities, and a betterfuture for us all. In terms of trend logic, it is the countertrend we have been waiting for. We can best understand the reason why we need a new kindness economy if we look at the unkind economy. Kindness is not a word you ever heard in association with Digitalization, with Uber, Amazon, or many other classic value chain businesses that are now struggling to keep their workers and increase their profit. Today in the face of the economic, societal, and environmental challenges, kindness is the key for long term change and a better future. From just chasing value, to adding values, the culture of kindness not only has to be strategically nurtured, but understood and most importantly, promoted as profitable.

The Tao of Sales
Sales is not a battle, a war, or a sporting event. Sales is a straightforward procedure with philanthropic undertones and shading that does not need to be sophisticated. Author John Fabiano presents a unique and refreshing look at simple and elegant sales procedures in The Tao of Sales, highlighting considerations and processes aimed to strip away clich矇s' and lead to a mutually effective and acceptable process for salespeople and buyers.Fabiano delivers an eclectic dialogue regarding successful approaches for sales success based on simplicity, questioning, ownership, ethics, and working smart, as opposed to standard sales philosophy. The Tao of Sales provides a profusion of how-to ideas for a simple, organic sales process that is a cooperation rather than a competition between salesperson and prospect.Many of the methods, philosophies, and points are highlighted by Fabiano's personal experiences. Because sales advice and training come in a variety of shapes and sizes, he advises practitioners to make informed decisions and to use what resonates from within. The Tao of Sales is intended for the novice, the beginner, those who need to make decisions or make adjustments, and those seeking a better path.Praise for The Tao of Sales"As someone who has worked successfully on both sides of the office door-sales consulting and sales management-reading this book felt like a great affirmation of everything I've learned from my mentors over the years, minus all of the bad stuff."-Patrick Cuccaro, Managing Director of Affairs to Remember Caterers and a Yelp!

How's Your Computer-Side Manner?
The way you show up in digital spaces communicates your brand-whether you intend it or not. With the ease of digital communication at anyone's fingertips and many professionals transitioning to work-from-home, the way an individual communicates online is more important than ever before. Keynote speaker and communication coach Dr. Ali Atkison's latest guide for personal success, How's Your Computer-side Manner? explains how to blend one's "in-person" self with their digital self, in order to put their best foot forward in an ever-changing digital landscape. Digital communication is an absolute necessity for today's working professionals--especially for those who may never meet their colleagues in person due to the rise in remote-work opportunities. Dr. Ali Atkison believes that it's time to end the false delineation between who someone is in-person versus who they are online. Too many proceed with mistaken assumptions about what shapes their communication style and their communication choices, and without the clarity of why we do what we do, it is difficult to make more well-informed decisions. How's Your Computer-side Manner? explores the 9 common mistakes today's professionals often make in their digital communications--and the negative consequences that can result from those mistakes, from being left off of projects and out of meetings, to being placed on performance-improvement plans, to losing respect and a sense of community with colleagues. Dr. Atkison explains how these mistakes can happen and their impact, while providing easy-to-employ strategies for mitigating these mistakes and improving online communication.
