Most Popular Books by Jean Gomes

Through his years of intensive work consulting to companies including Procter & Gamble, Sony, Toyota, Microsoft, Ford and Ernst & Young, with his firm The Energy Project, Schwartz has developed a powerful program for changing the way we are working that greatly boosts our engagement and our satisfaction with our work and increases our performance. In this book he marshalls a wide range of powerful evidence from business research and psychology that shows that the current model of work is not only not optimal, it is specifically counter-productive because it saps us of our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energy. In order for us to perform at our best, we must make a set of key changes in our work lives -- and in order to develop the full potential of their work force, our managers and companies must institute changes that will provide us with the regular physical renewal, emotional reward, mental focus and stimulation; and sense of purpose and significance that we need.

La antiproductividad, es uno de los pocos libros con el poder de transformar profundamente el modo en que trabajamos y vivimos. El paradigma “más cantidad, más grande y más rápido” impone una serie de costos secundarios perjudiciales que disminuyen nuestra energía, concentración, creatividad y pasión. Un dato: aproximadamente el 75% de los empleados en todo el mundo no se sienten comprometidos con el trabajo que realizan. Este libro ofrece un enfoque innovador para enriquecer nuestras vidas de nuevas energías para que seamos más productivos, pero que estemos más satisfechos en el trabajo como fuera de él. Basados en hallazgos de la ciencia de alto rendimiento, los autores nos explican que estamos desatendiendo las cuatro necesidades básicas que generan el buen desempeño: sostenibilidad (física); seguridad (emocional); manifestación de la propia personalidad (mental), y trascendencia (espiritual). En lugar de funcionar como los ordenadores a altas velocidades durante largos períodos, debemos trabajar rítmicamente, consumiendo y renovando en forma regular la energía con cada una de nuestras cuatro necesidades. La antiproductividad es un aporte innovador para el liderazgo ya que muestra cómo las organizaciones debilitan el alto rendimiento porque siempre pretenden obtener más de sus empleados, en vez de intentar satisfacer sus cuatro necesidades básicas para que aporten lo mejor de si en el trabajo.

ENERGI er en af de sjældne bøger, som grundlæggende kan ændre den måde, hvorpå vi lever og arbejder. Mantraet om ’mere, større, hurtigere’ har store omkostninger for vores arbejdsliv og underminerer vores fokus, kreativitet og passion. Resultatet er, at næsten 75 procent af alle ansatte verden over føler sig uengagerede på deres arbejde. Denne bog præsenterer en banebrydende løsning, som vil skabe nye vaner, ny energi og gøre os mere tilfredse og mere produktive – på og uden for jobbet. Løsningen findes i opfyldelsen af de fire grundlæggende behov: det fysiske, det emotionelle, det mentale og det spirituelle. ENERGI tilbyder ledere, medarbejdere og organisationer en praktisk, efterprøvet tilgang til en strategi, som kan imødegå de stadigt stigende krav, som vi alle udsættes for i en mere og mere kompleks verden. Forfatterne trækker i bogen på omfattende forskning i emnet og på deres eget arbejde med store virksomheder som Google, Ford, Ernst & Young, Shell og IBM. "Vi har brug for at finde en rytme, hvor vi bruger flere sider af vores krop i løbet af en dag. Vi har brug for mere afveksling. Vi har brug for en bedre forbindelse mellem det, vi selv laver, og den større sammenhæng, det indgår i." Lars Kolind, bestyrelsesformand, fra bogens forord
