As you're well aware, your individual energy ebbs and flows--leading to high and low productivity cycles. Fail to manage your energy correctly, and you risk falling into traps including inertia, complacency, and frenzied, unfocused activity that only erodes the quality of your life. The same holds true for your entire organization. In Fully Charged, Heike Bruch and Bernd Vogel provide tools and strategies to help you manage your company's collective energy. First, diagnose your company's "energy state" using the Organizational Energy Matrix. By assessing the intensity (high or low) and the quality (positive or negative) of the energy in your enterprise, you discover which of four energy states your company is experiencing. Second, move your company out of dangerous states characterized by complacency, cynicism, aggression, withdrawal, and other perils. By applying practices mastered by companies as diverse as Airbus, Novartis, SAP, and Tata Steel, you can shift your firm into a state of high, positive energy--in which everyone is emotionally engaged, mentally alert, and working swiftly and productively toward critical goals.Practical and backed by extensive research, Fully Charged reveals how to continually refresh your company's energy--so it's always ready to tackle the next period of high demand.

Bernd Vogel entwickelt ein Modell zur Entstehung von Netzwerkhandeln in Veranderungsprozessen, das er in einer quantitativen Studie testet. Es zeigt sich, dass neben kontextuellen Faktoren und dem individuellen Handeln der Netzwerkteilnehmer vor allem netzwerkinterne Einflussfaktoren - kollektive Kognitionen, kollektive positive Emotionen und kollektive Volition - von wesentlicher Bedeutung sind.

Leadership ist einer der zentralen Erfolgsfaktoren für wettbewerbsentscheidende Prozesse wie Wachstum, Innovation und Change. Die Beiträge verdeutlichen, dass es für Unternehmen eine große Rolle spielt, ob und wie Führungskräfte sich für strategische Aufgaben einsetzen, ihre Mitarbeiter mobilisieren und selbst Initiative ergreifen. Best Practices auf verschiedenen Ebenen – von Selbstführung über die Führung einzelner Mitarbeiter und Teams bis hin zu Leadership in ganzen Unternehmen – illustrieren dies. Zudem werden Trends vorgestellt, die sich in der Leadership-Praxis und in der Forschung abzeichnen. Die Beiträge von herausragenden Vertretern aus Praxis und Wissenschaft – u.a. von Josef Ackermann, Utz Claassen, Oliver Kahn, Fredmund Malik und Reinhard K. Sprenger – stützen sich auf Fallstudien, empirische Untersuchungen und persönliche Erfahrungen der Autoren. Für die 2. Auflage wurde das Buch unter anderem um einen Beitrag des Spitzenkochs und Restaurantkritikers Christian Rach erweitert.
