Book Description
Jeffrey Pfeffer in his book Dying For A Paycheck talks about how work is stressing us out and ultimately killing us.One of the biggest factors of this stress is our boss. Chances are most of us have had a not so great boss. We know the impact that has. If you are or aspire to be a people manager one day, please prepare yourself. If you manager other managers, prepare them.People managers are critical to organizational success and performance and the engagement of people within an organization. Lazlo Boch is the former SVP of People Operations at Google and author of the book Work Rules. In his book he talks about a research initiative done by Google in the early 2000s. Basically Google got rid of people managers! But they quickly brought them back realizing that was a bad decision. Google then undertook a huge study of their people managers to find out what made them successful. They called it Project Oxygen. They discovered that they were 8 common qualities of the best managers and ended up adopted that list as the values and skills they expected to be exercised by their managers.What's interesting is that this list is pretty universal and not only applicable to Google or the tech industry, but pretty much everywhere.People managers have a responsibility to themselves, their people and their organizations to be their best, to become Super Managers.Super Managers realize that their business is now the people within the organization, not simply "what" the organization does.This book outlines what it takes to be a Super Manager and shares the best approaches to developing and exercising all of the skills necessary to become a Super Manager.It's also a great book to use as a simple and approach textbook to build an internal people manager development course around for any type or size organization. It's simple, practical and includes reflection questions, action steps, assessment reference list for the reading materials.I hope it helps you on your journey on building Super Managers!Let make work a place of joy, thriving and growth! Here's to the future of work!Devin has practiced, studied, researched, taught and consulted on several topics within leadership, business and management. He is the owner and principal of CCG, a training and consulting company on a mission to make work better by building better managers, teams and cultures.

Book Description
As future generation information technology (FGIT) becomes specialized and fr- mented, it is easy to lose sight that many topics in FGIT have common threads and, because of this, advances in one discipline may be transmitted to others. Presentation of recent results obtained in different disciplines encourages this interchange for the advancement of FGIT as a whole. Of particular interest are hybrid solutions that c- bine ideas taken from multiple disciplines in order to achieve something more signi- cant than the sum of the individual parts. Through such hybrid philosophy, a new principle can be discovered, which has the propensity to propagate throughout mul- faceted disciplines. FGIT 2009 was the first mega-conference that attempted to follow the above idea of hybridization in FGIT in a form of multiple events related to particular disciplines of IT, conducted by separate scientific committees, but coordinated in order to expose the most important contributions. It included the following international conferences: Advanced Software Engineering and Its Applications (ASEA), Bio-Science and Bio-Technology (BSBT), Control and Automation (CA), Database Theory and Application (DTA), D- aster Recovery and Business Continuity (DRBC; published independently), Future G- eration Communication and Networking (FGCN) that was combined with Advanced Communication and Networking (ACN), Grid and Distributed Computing (GDC), M- timedia, Computer Graphics and Broadcasting (MulGraB), Security Technology (SecTech), Signal Processing, Image Processing and Pattern Recognition (SIP), and- and e-Service, Science and Technology (UNESST).

THE MANAGER takes the reader beyond the well-worn anecdotes, deeper into the stories of football's top men and the world they inhabit. Barney Ronay asks the important questions about these compelling characters - Where did they come from? Why are they so miserable? Where do they get their suits? Hilarious and absorbing, this book contains enough revelations to provide the most avid fan with a library of fresh tales. You'll never look at the man on the touchline in the same way again.

Manager Moving Mountains
Author: Nicole Gaiziunas
Publisher: MI Wirtschaftsbuch
ISBN: 3864160960
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Every executive board would like to have the best in their field. Unfortunately, this undertaking has been failing extensively and categorically for years. Every year billions are spent on executive and personnel development, talent management, training and qualification, with modest results. No man-agers can move mountains like this, not to mention the range of challenges which are mounting up in this time of exogenous shocks, threatened global supply networks and dwindling raw material sources. The 'input' principle is to blame: Too much emphasis is placed on what is put in. The 'best in class' pay attention to what comes out. They work according to the principle of 'return': Training should no longer just make it possible for managers and employees to move mountains. The mountains need to be moved in the training itself. This is self-financing and profit-generating because it creates 'return projects' which are designed to increase turnover, reduce costs and/or improve efficiency. That's how mountains are moved! With this new understanding of management development and the unleashed power of developing personalities. In short, with future competence. The author spotlights twelve megatrends from business and society that managers across all industries will need to master with future competence in the next few years. They lead in to Change Management 2.0: Transformation instead of just change.

Deep Reinforcement Learning
Author: Hao Dong
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811540950
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 526
Book Description
Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is the combination of reinforcement learning (RL) and deep learning. It has been able to solve a wide range of complex decision-making tasks that were previously out of reach for a machine, and famously contributed to the success of AlphaGo. Furthermore, it opens up numerous new applications in domains such as healthcare, robotics, smart grids and finance. Divided into three main parts, this book provides a comprehensive and self-contained introduction to DRL. The first part introduces the foundations of deep learning, reinforcement learning (RL) and widely used deep RL methods and discusses their implementation. The second part covers selected DRL research topics, which are useful for those wanting to specialize in DRL research. To help readers gain a deep understanding of DRL and quickly apply the techniques in practice, the third part presents mass applications, such as the intelligent transportation system and learning to run, with detailed explanations. The book is intended for computer science students, both undergraduate and postgraduate, who would like to learn DRL from scratch, practice its implementation, and explore the research topics. It also appeals to engineers and practitioners who do not have strong machine learning background, but want to quickly understand how DRL works and use the techniques in their applications.
