People - friends, family members, colleagues, salespeople - lie to us all the time. Daily, hourly, constantly. None of us is immune and all of us are victims. This title links three disciplines - facial recognition training, interrogation training and a comprehensive survey of research in the field.
As contrary as it sounds, “planning” — as we traditionally understand the term—can be the worst thing a company can do. Consider that volatile weather events disrupt trusted supply chains, markets, and promised delivery schedules. Ever-shifting geo-political tensions, as well as internal political upheaval within U.S. and global governments, derail long-planned new ventures. Technology failures block opportunities. Competitors suddenly change their product or release date; your team cannot meet the pace of innovations in your market niche, leaving you sidelined. There are myriad ways in the current business environment for a company’s well-considered business plans to go awry. Most business schools continue to prepare managers to be effective in stable and predictable environments, conditions that, if they ever existed at all, are long gone. The Agility Shift shows business leaders exactly how to make the radical mindset and strategy shift necessary to create an agile, entrepreneurial organization that can innovate and thrive in complex, ever-changing contexts. As author Pamela Meyer explains, there is much more involved than a reconfiguration of the org chart and job descriptions. It requires relinquishing the illusion of control at the very foundation of most management training and business practice. Despite most leaders' approaches, “Agility is not simply accelerated planning.” Unlike many agility books on the market, The Agility Shift provides specific, actionable strategies and tactics for leaders at all levels of the organization to put into practice immediately to improve agility and achieve results.
Zeichen verstehen, Täuschung durchschauen, Wahrheit ermitteln
**Ich weiß, dass du lügst!** Wir werden jeden Tag im Schnitt fast 200-mal belogen. Dennoch sind Menschen unglaublich schlecht darin, Lügen zu erkennen: Unsere Erfolgsquote liegt bei nur 52 %, also kaum besser, als wenn wir einfach eine Münze werfen würden. Mit diesem Buch können wir etwas dagegen tun: Durch die Verknüpfung von drei Disziplinen – Gesichtserkennungstraining, Befragungstraining und einer umfassenden Studie über Betrugstechniken – erhalten wir das umfassende und entscheidende Wissen, wie wir Lügen entlarven und die richtigen Informationen herauslesen können. Mit Meyers BASIC-Methode lernen wir Schritt für Schritt, wie wir in Zukunft Lügner sofort identifizieren, und erhalten darüber hinaus erprobte Vorgehensweisen und Techniken, wie wir künftig zuverlässig die Wahrheit herausfinden können. Denn Hinweise auf Unwahrheiten und Betrügereien gibt es überall – wir müssen nur die Geheimsprache der Gesten, Gefühle und Schlüsselwörter verstehen.
