Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. HR has lost its way and needs to find a new direction. The central question this book sets out to answer is: if we are to survive and thrive in this new, volatile business world, how do we lead, manage, engage and support our employees in a radically different way? HR departments, and companies, need to transform their approach. This entails not simply tinkering with the process or the mechanics, but taking a completely fresh look at the entire scenario. Its the difference between spending hours deciding how many grades there should be in an employee grading system, and asking if grading people actually increases their ability to perform better in the first place.To achieve this change, Disruptive HR has three pillars:1. Treating employees as adults not children2. Treating employees as consumers or customers (not a one-size-fits-all approach)3. Treating employees as human beingsEACH: Employees as Adults, Consumers and Human beings. (Each of us is different, each of us deserves better.) So what happens when you read this book? First, theres the lightbulb moment: I do that and I hadnt even realised it. Then youll see what this means for you and your organisation, with practical tools, ideas and techniques so you can start making changes immediately.And finally, the hard bit: this book will help you introduce this new thinking to others in your business.

It locates the fragments of a story that still has resonance today; the pulse and surge of an older wisdom that cracks the mendacity of the shopping malls vacuous promise. It is a passionate evocation of a generous, inclusive, diverse and spiritually significant world the world of our longing. In the winter of 2009 Mac Macartney walked from his birthplace in England across Wales to the island of Anglesey, once the spiritual epicentre of Late Iron Age Britain, navigating by the sun and the stars, with no map, compass, stove or tent, and in the coldest winter for many years. The Childrens Fire records that journey, and seeks to lay bare the aching loss of knowing and understanding sacredness as it applies to everything ordinary that brings joy to the human heart. It asserts the emergence of a new story; the story of a people coming home to a truth made all the more poignant having so painfully broken faith with nature, our deeper humanity, and the paradise we fouled with such casual disrespect. It is a love story and part of a larger narrative that is surfacing all around the world. It seeks to reclaim our future and name it, beautiful. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
