The way we manage organizations seems increasingly out of date. Survey after survey shows that a majority of employees feel disengaged from their companies. The epidemic of organizational disillusionment goes way beyond Corporate America-teachers, doctors, and nurses are leaving their professions in record numbers because the way we run schools and hospitals kills their vocation. Government agencies and nonprofits have a noble purpose, but working for these entities often feels soulless and lifeless just the same. All these organizations suffer from power games played at the top and powerlessness at lower levels, from infighting and bureaucracy, from endless meetings and a seemingly never-ending succession of change and cost-cutting programs.Deep inside, we long for soulful workplaces, for authenticity, community, passion, and purpose. The solution, according to many progressive scholars, lies with more enlightened management. But reality shows that this is not enough. In most cases, the system beats the individual-when managers or leaders go through an inner transformation, they end up leaving their organizations because they no longer feel like putting up with a place that is inhospitable to the deeper longings of their soul.We need more enlightened leaders, but we need something more: enlightened organizational structures and practices. But is there even such a thing? Can we conceive of enlightened organizations?Bron : http://www.lannoo.be

Jean-Marie Dru est le président de TBWA, l'un des plus grands réseaux mondiaux d'agences de publicité. Personne n'était mieux placé que lui pour faire vivre et pour expliquer, de l'intérieur, cette activité mal connue et souvent décriée. Elle incarne pourtant en son essence l'évolution des sociétés démocratiques de marché et constitue l'un des accélérateurs les plus puissants de la production économique. L'auteur nous livre ici la synthèse de plus de trente années d'aventures au croisement de l'art et du commerce. Ses façons de voir comme de faire autrement son métier, au contact des plus grandes marques et des plus novatrices, nous invitent à considérer à notre tour la publicité autrement. L'iPod relance Apple. Adidas se donne un nouveau souffle. McDonald's adopte un profil à la française. Autant d'histoires que raconte avec passion Jean-Marie Dru. Elles éclairent les mutations des marques et des entreprises, que la publicité accompagne souvent, et quelquefois précède.

Language is central to our lives, the cultural tool that arguably sets us apart from other species. Some scientists have argued that language is innate, a type of unique human 'instinct' pre-programmed in us from birth. In this book, Vyvyan Evans argues that this received wisdom is, in fact, a myth. Debunking the notion of a language 'instinct', Evans demonstrates that language is related to other animal forms of communication; that languages exhibit staggering diversity; that we learn our mother tongue drawing on general properties and abilities of the human mind, rather than an inborn 'universal' grammar; that language is not autonomous but is closely related to other aspects of our mental lives; and that, ultimately, language and the mind reflect and draw upon the way we interact with others in the world. Compellingly written and drawing on cutting-edge research, The Language Myth sets out a forceful alternative to the received wisdom, showing how language and the mind really work.
