Współcześnie psychologia dotyka niemal każdej sfery życia społecznego. Żaden film sensacyjny czy dokumentalny, żaden talk-show czy nawet porada medyczna nie będą mieć pełnego charakteru, jeżeli nie wprowadzi się do nich elementu psychologii. Prototyp samochodu, projekt domu, dobór stroju, towarów konsumpcyjnych i partnera, sposób wychowania dzieci – wszystkie te kwestie albo są przedmiotem badań psychologicznych, albo podlegają ich wpływom. Psychologia to nauka zarówno czysta, jak i stosowana. Jej celem jest zrozumienie zachowania oraz podstawowych mechanizmów i procesów kształtujących idee, uczucia i myśli. Ludzie stawiający pierwsze kroki w psychologii są często zaskoczeni zakresem problemów badanych przez psychologów – od marzeń sennych do urojeń wielkościowych; od fobii komputerowej do przyczyn nowotworów; od pamięci do migracji społecznych; od kształtowania postaw do alkoholizmu. Co ważne i pożyteczne, psychologia uczy słownictwa, dzięki któremu można opisać i wyjaśnić pewne zachowania: uczy języka opisującego i tłumaczącego te zachowania. 50 idei, które powinieneś znać to seria książek wprowadzających w fascynujący świat pytań i zagadnień – tych trudnych oraz tych zupełnie podstawowych – które od dawna towarzyszą ludzkości w jej misji zrozumienia świata. Seria prezentuje najważniejsze teorie i idee głównych dziedzin wiedzy, stanowiąc świetny punkt wyjścia do dalszej nauki. Obowiązkowa lektura każdego początkującego erudyty!

Leadership is most needed in times of change, uncertainty and crisis. We are living through those times. To support leaders in all spheres, this book provides a guide to the territory of leadership and its three domains: the strategic (head), the operational (hands) and the interpersonal (heart). It describes the tasks leaders have to achieve and explains the psychology of leadership based in personality. It argues strongly that complete leadership is the province of diverse teams of leaders made up of complementary differences. And now the best has just got better. The new edition shows how leadership has to change over time, describes how the most highly rated leaders achieve their goals and also elucidates the neuroscience of leadership to enhance understanding of leadership’s foundations. Pendleton, Furnham and Cowell’s work is a powerful combination of the best research on the psychology of leadership and years of iteration and practical implementation in the field – working with thousands of leaders from all walks of life and learning from their successes and challenges. There is no one secret recipe for success as a leader. What this book provides is a framework to enable you to achieve success in your own way.
