      "The workplace has undergone a massive shift. Remote work and economic instability have depressed innovation and left us disconnected and disengaged. Quiet quitting runs rampant, and people show up without truly showing up. Alarmed managers are doubling down on keystroke surveillance, productivity tracking and back-to-the-office mandates, when what they should be doing is the opposite - affording employees the dignity necessary to inject purpose and motivation into their work. In The Song of Significance, Seth Godin argues that we need to build organisations that empower and trust employees to deliver their best work, no matter where they're working. If you want your employees to live up to their full professional potential, you must give them the respect and autonomy they deserve as humans. Godin offers a series of commitments leaders must make, and a list of organizational milestones on the way to significance. It's time for leaders to make and keep a new promise, and to recognize that, as Godin says, "Humans aren't a resource. They are the point.""--Publisher's description.

    • Oduševnělé přehodnocení toho, čím může být práce a vedení, z hlavy vizionáře, známého autora a myšlenkového vůdce Setha Godina. Tato kniha je strhující úvaha o práci: proč je taková, jaká je, proč se tak zhoršila a co můžeme všichni - zejména vedoucí pracovníci - udělat pro to, aby se zlepšila. Ekonomická nestabilita a vzestup práce na dálku způsobily, že jsme odloučení a neangažovaní. Znepokojení manažeři reagují tvrdými nařízeními shora, propouštěním, dohledem a povinnými schůzemi. Pracovníci reagují tichým odchodem a prací za svou mzdu. Ale nemusí to tak být. Legendární autor knih o podnikání Seth Godin se prostřednictvím 144 provokativních strof dostává k jádru toho, co nás trápí; ukazuje, co je skutečným důvodem těchto trendů, a vyzývá nás, abychom se zlepšili způsobem, který má smysl. Volba je jednoduchá. Můžeme snášet kocovinu průmyslového kapitalismu, nadále zacházet s lidmi jako s věcmi na jedno použití a připojit se k závodu ke dnu poháněnému umělou inteligencí. Nebo se spojíme, abychom vybudovali významnou organizaci, která každého zařadí, posílí a bude mu důvěřovat, aby odváděl svou nejlepší práci bez ohledu na to, kde se nachází. Tuto knihu je třeba sdílet se šéfy a spolupracovníky, diskutovat o ní a uvádět ji do praxe. Bez ohledu na naši roli je v našich silách něco změnit. Protože, jak píše Godin: "Lidé nejsou zdroj. Jsou smyslem."

      When it comes to the climate, we don't need more marketing or anxiety. We need established facts and a plan for collective action.The climate is the fundamental issue of our time, yet it seems we can barely agree on what is really going on, let alone what needs to be done. We urgently need facts, not opinions. Insights, not statistics.The Carbon Almanac is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between hundreds of writers, researchers, thinkers, and leaders that focuses on what we know, what has come before, and what might happen next. With thousands of data points, articles and charts explaining carbon's impact on everything in our society, from our the economy to extreme weather events, it is the definitive source for facts and the basis for a global movement to fight climate change. This book isn't what the oil companies, marketers, activists, or politicians want you to believe. This is what's really happening, right now. Our planet is in trouble, and no one concerned group, corporation, country, or hemisphere canaddress this on its own. We are in this together. And it's not too late for concerted, collective action for change.

Aber ist Kreativität nicht ein Talent, über das nur einige wenige verfügen? Der Marketingexperte und Erfolgsautor Seth Godin ist sich sicher: Das ist Unsinn! Schließlich macht auch Übung den Meister.

      From the bestselling author of Linchpin, Tribes, and The Dip comes an elegant little book that will inspire artists, writers, and entrepreneurs to stretch and commit to putting their best work out into the world. Creative work doesn't come with a guarantee. But there is a pattern to who succeeds and who doesn't. And engaging in the consistent practice of its pursuit is the best way forward. Based on the breakthrough Akimbo workshop pioneered by legendary author Seth Godin, The Practice will help you get unstuck and find the courage to make and share creative work. Godin insists that writer's block is a myth, that consistency is far more important than authenticity, and that experiencing the imposter syndrome is a sign that you're a well-adjusted human. Most of all, he shows you what it takes to turn your passion from a private distraction to a productive contribution, the one you've been seeking to share all along. With this book as your guide, you'll learn to dance with your fear. To take the risks worth taking. And to embrace the empathy required to make work that contributes with authenticity and joy.

    • Das ist Marketing!

      So wird man wirklich sichtbar

      So geht Marketing heute auch Der Marketing-Guru Seth Godin weiß: Heute werden Produkte nicht mehr durch aufsehenerregende Werbeblöcke oder nervende Spam-Mailings vermarktet– jedenfalls nicht erfolgreich. Ob für Technologie- Start-ups, Kleinunternehmer oder Konzernmitarbeiter, das Umfeld hat sich für alle geändert. Die Kunden erwarten keine Produkte mehr, sie erwarten angepasste Problemlösungen. Godin gewährt erstmalig einen kompakten Einblick in seine ganze Marketingerfahrung. Er belegt mit konkreten Beispielen, dass effektives Marketing heute nur durch Einfühlungsvermögen, Service, Spannung, Vertrauen und die richtige Positionierung gelingt. Und zeigt, was alles nötig ist, um Menschen wieder mit guter Arbeit zu erreichen.

    • Over the past 25 years, Seth Godin has inspired millions of entrepreneurs, marketers, and leaders through his blog, online courses, lectures, and bestselling books. He has coined influential concepts like Permission Marketing, Purple Cow, Tribes, and The Dip. For the first time, he consolidates his marketing wisdom into one accessible package. Central to his philosophy is a key idea: great marketers use marketing to solve other people's problems rather than merely addressing their company's issues. They aim to make the world better through empathy, generosity, and emotional labor. This guide teaches you how to identify your smallest viable audience, interpret the right signals to position your offering, build trust with your market, and engage with the narratives your audience holds about status and affiliation. It emphasizes the importance of creating opportunities and providing tools for people to achieve their goals. Marketers are encouraged to abandon deceitful practices, avoid confusing social media metrics with genuine connections, and stop wasting resources on fleeting attention. This approach offers a sustainable marketing strategy that remains relevant, regardless of how tactics evolve over time.

Если вы это делали уже давно, если вас останавливает страх неудачи или если вам непонятно, как к этому подступиться, то "Пробуй - получится!" - книга для вас.

A v dnešním světě dostávají právě ta nejlepší pracovní místa a s nimi i nejvíc svobody. V této knize se dozvíte: - kdy a jak se změnil svět práce a proč si to mnozí lidé stále neuvědomují že každý má možnost zvolit, zda se stane nepostradatelným, nebo zda se zařadí mezi průměrné a postradatelné - jak se stát pilířem firmy, co všechno to obnáší a co naopak poskytuje - jaké jsou hlavní dovednosti nepostradatelných a jak se dají rozvíjet - jak nepostradatelní pracují s emocemi, jak vytvářejí vztahy s lidmi kolem sebe - proč pro nepostradatelné neplatí žádná pracovní příručka, žádný itinerář - jakými mýty jsme obklopeni a proč brání správným rozhodnutím

They love their work, pour their best selves into it, and turn each day into a kind of art.Linchpins are the essential building blocks of great organizations. They may not be famous but they're indispensable. And in today's world, they get the best jobs and the most freedom.As Godin writes, "Every day I meet people who have so much to give but have been bullied enough or frightened enough to hold it back. It's time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map. You have brilliance in you, your contribution is essential, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do it, and you must."

      Every day we tell ourselves stories about the world. These stories might be true or they might be false, but nevertheless we believe them. We live in an age where every business must have a story to tell its customers. Because if it doesn't, very soon it will have no customers at all. In All Marketers Are LiarsSeth Godin uses dozens of examples to show us that the most successful stories aren't necessarily the most truthful but are usually the most compelling and authentic. That means they are believed by those who tell them. Which means they are believed by those who listen to them. And that means they get passed on . . . and on. How good is your story?

    • Whether it is the TV commercial that breaks into our favourite programme or the telemarketing phone call that disrupts a family meal, traditional advertising is based on the hope of snaring our attention away from whatever we are doing. Seth Godin calls this Interruption Marketing, and, as companies are discovering, it no longer works. Instead of annoying potential customers by interrupting their most coveted commodity, time, Permission Marketing offers consumers incentives to voluntarily accept advertising. Now the Internet pioneer who has dramatically improved marketing effectiveness in media introduces a fundamentally different way of thinking about advertising products and services. By reaching out to only those individuals who have expressed an interest in learning more about a product, Permission Marketing enables companies to develop long-term relationships with customers, create trust, build brand awareness, and greatly improve the chances of making a sale.
