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."

Three cultures clash in all out war--against each other and against the gods--in the second book of this fantasy duology that's sure to capture fans of The Hunger Games and An Ember in the Ashes. The Races are over. War has begun. Ashlord and Longhand armies battle for control of the Empire as Dividian rebels do their best to survive the crossfire. This is no longer a game. It's life or death. Adrian, Pippa, and Imelda each came out of the Races with questions about their role in the ongoing feud. The deeper they dig, the clearer it is that the hatred between their peoples has an origin point: the gods. Their secrets are long-buried, but one disgruntled deity is ready to unveil the truth. Every whisper leads back to the underworld. What are the gods hiding there? As the sands of the Empire shift, these heroes will do everything they can to aim their people at the true enemy. But is it already too late? "A page-turning inferno of a book." -- Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Caraval series

Red Rising meets The Scorpio Races in this epic fantasy following three phoenix horse riders--skilled at alchemy--who must compete at The Races--the modern spectacle that has replaced warfare within their empire. Every year since the Ashlords were gifted phoenix horses by their gods, they've raced them. First into battle, then on great hunts, and finally for the pure sport of seeing who rode the fastest. Centuries of blood and fire carved their competition into a more modern spectacle: The Races. Over the course of a multi-day event, elite riders from clashing cultures vie to be crowned champion. But the modern version of the sport requires more than good riding. Competitors must be skilled at creating and controlling phoenix horses made of ash and alchemy, which are summoned back to life each sunrise with uniquely crafted powers to cover impossible distances and challenges before bursting into flames at sunset. But good alchemy only matters if a rider knows how to defend their phoenix horse at night. Murder is outlawed, but breaking bones and poisoning ashes? That's all legal and encouraged. In this year's Races, eleven riders will compete, but three of them have more to lose than the rest--a champion's daughter, a scholarship entrant, and a revolutionary's son. Who will attain their own dream of glory? Or will they all flame out in defeat?

Desperate to return home to Earth and claim the reward Babel promised, Emmett and the Genesis team join forces with the Imago. Babel's initial attack left their home city in ruins, but that was just part of the Imago's plan. They knew one thing Babel didn't. This world is coming to an end. Eden's two moons are on a collision path no one can prevent. After building eight secret launch stations, the Imago hoped to lure Babel down to their doomed planet as they left it behind. A perfect plan until the Genesis team's escape route was destroyed. Now the group must split up to survive the hostile terrain and reach another launch station. As both sides struggle for the upper hand, the fight leads inevitably back into space, where Emmett, his crewmates, and their new allies will fight one final battle for control of the Genesis ships. Win this time, and they'll survive Babel's twisted game once and for all. As the Imago world falls, this is the last chance to rise. Praise for The Nyxia Triad: A high-octane thriller . . . Nyxia grabs you from the first line and never lets go. --MARIE LU, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Young Elites series File this book under A for Amazing. --JAY KRISTOFF, New York Times bestselling author

Emmett Atwater thought Babel's game sounded easy. Get points. Get paid. Go home. But it didn't take long for him to learn that Babel's competition was full of broken promises, none darker or more damaging than the final one. Now Emmett and the rest of the Genesis survivors must rally and forge their own path through a dangerous new world. Their mission from Babel is simple- extract nyxia, the most valuable material in the universe, and win over the indigenous Adamite population. But Emmett and the others quickly realize they are caught between two powerful forces--Babel and the Adamites--with clashing agendas. Will the Genesis team make it out alive?

Emmett Atwater isn't just leaving Detroit; he's leaving Earth. Why Babel recruited himis a mystery, but the number of zeroes on his contract has him boarding their lightship and hoping to return to Earth with enough money to take care of his family, forever. As he and nine other teenagers wormhole their way through space, Emmett discovers that each recruit must earn the right to travel down to Eden. There, Babel will use them to mine a substance that's quietly become the most valuable in the world. For the chosen ten, every training session is measured, every point matters, and Emmett will do anything to win. But Babel's ship is full of secrets. And as Emmett uncovers the truth, he realizes he's not fighting for wealth or glory. He's fighting for his life.
