Seit jeher gelten lange Arbeitszeiten, chaotische Arbeitsabläufe und egoistische Kollegen in der Kreativbranche als selbstverständlich. Offenbar meint man, sich solche Bedingungen im kreativen Bereich leisten zu können – als wären sie geradezu eine Voraussetzung für grandiose Arbeitsleistungen. Tatsächlich ist eine derart vergiftete Unternehmenskultur der Feind jeder Kreativität. Paul Woods zeigt, wie sich diese Zeitbombe entschärfen lässt, in dem man eine Arbeitsatmosphäre schafft, von der alle profitieren. Ob Director oder Junior, ob Agentur- oder Kundenseite, in den Bereichen Design, Werbung, Verlagswesen, Mode oder Film – in diesem Buch finden alle eine amüsant-unverblümte Lektüre voller Anekdoten und erhellender Flussdiagramme zur Selbstanalyse. Hinzu kommen vielen Übungen und Aktionspläne für bessere, d. h. produktivere Arbeitsweisen. All das zusammen ergibt eine verblüffend einfache Strategie, die sich leicht in den Arbeitsalltag integrieren lässt und zu dem Ergebnis führt, dass das Team glücklicher und produktiver und damit letztlich sogar noch erfolgreicher wird.

ONE RING CIRCUS

The century-old Toronto Argonauts, like the rest of The Canadian Football League, seemed to be in shambles in 1991. Suddenly everything changed. The Argos were acquired by an unlikely trio: the greatest hockey player of all time, Wayne Gretzky; a universally beloved comic genius, John Candy; and an upstart sports magnate, Bruce McNall, whose apparent Midas touch masked dark secrets. They audaciously swiped from the NFL the most-hyped college athlete in years, Rocket Ismail, by signing him to the richest football contract ever, and set their sights on a league championship. The Blues Brothers--Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi--were flown in from Europe to perform with Candy at the Rocket's first game and the season only got crazier from there. One Ring Circus is the untold saga of one of the greatest gambles in sports history, and one of the most unforgettable seasons on any gridiron, brought to life by a veteran sportswriter who combines meticulous research with the perspective and passion of a lifelong fan.
