Making It All Work:
Winning at the Game of Work and the Business of Life

Since its publication in 2001, Getting Things Done has become, as Time magazine put it, "the defining self-help business book" of the decade. Having inspired millions of readers around the world, it clearly spoke to an urgent need in an increasingly time-pressured society. Now, in the highly anticipated sequel Making It All Work, Allen unlocks the full power of his methods across the entire span of life and work. While Getting Things Done functioned as an essential tool kit, Making It All Work is an invaluable road map, providing both bearings to help you determine where you are in life and directions on how to get to where you want to go.

Women's Leadership

Women's Leadership

by Valerie Stead
This volume is distinctive because it explores different concepts of leadership, seeks to challenge traditional concepts, and to explode common myths. In contrast to the traditional male, hierarchical, value free and organisational bound construction of leadership, this text presents an alternative construction that is female, non-hierarchical and underpinned and driven by values, rooted in community and beyond the boundaries of traditional organizations. This volume uses examples from research with leading women to portray that leadership is not a floating or external concept, but has tangible, social, cultural and political roots and anchors.

The Future of Work

The Future of Work

by Richard Donkin
Changing attitudes, living patterns and technologies are transforming our relationship with work in such fundamental ways that tomorrow's workplace will be barely recognizable to that of our parents. To help us make sense of these changes Richard Donkin has examined the forces and themes that are influencing what amounts to a silent revolution in social behavior. Donkin argues that this change is creating a watershed in working lives as significant as that of the factory system that heralded the Industrial Revolution. Unless we understand these forces, he warns, policies may be poorly fitted to meet the challenges ahead posed by environmental change and shrinking oil reserves.
In this timely book, Donkin presents a cohesive argument for policy reform, not only in employment, but also in outdated economic assumptions that are no longer meeting the needs of a resource-hungry world.
