Synopsis: Business leaders have seen it before. Teams that should be achiev= ing great work with ease are caught in a wild frenzy of competing prioritie=
s. Gradually their people suffer burnout, innovation evaporates, and time a=
nd energy are wasted on the wrong problems.

Thanks to this organizational multitasking, their organization is flooding = from the pressure to do it all. But there is an unexpected solution to achi= eve high performance once again.

With the publication of "Real Flow: Break the Burnout Cycle and Unlock High=
Performance in the New World of Work", organizational agility expert Brand=
i Olson brings front and center what happens when an organization chases to=
o many priorities simultaneously. Featuring extensive interviews with organ= izational leaders, "Real Flow" demonstrates the principles of flow that wil=
l create the environment teams need to achieve and sustain high performance=
.. Integrating cognitive science, organizational agility, and lean principle= s, this is your guide to deliver exceptional value and enable people to be = happy, healthy, and engaged in their work.

"Real Flow" reveals: The costly link between competing priorities, multitas= king, and burnout and why no amount of vacation, self-care, or team-buildin=
g activities will solve it; How to embrace the ecosystem paradigm and the d= irect impact it has on an organization's ability to adapt, change, and thri= ve; Strategies to remedy the burnout problem that don't involve doing less,=
expecting less, or shrinking the to-do list; How to redefine performance t=
o maximize human potential for the long term over the short term and what t= hat will do for your teams; The essential practice of limiting work in prog= ress to improve the flow of value, plus the radical effect it has on solvin=
g the challenges your organization is facing.

Business managers and corporate executives don't need to choose between goo=
d work and their teams' well-being. Leading a high-performance organization=
depends on happy, healthy people. A careful reading of "Real Flow" will en= able them to cultivate an evidence-driven approach to design a high-perform= ing, agile organization, improve employee retention, and stop their employe=
e burnout for good.

Critique: Of special interest to anyone having the responsibility for busin= ess management and work team leadership, "Real Flow: Break the Burnout Cycl=
e and Unlock High Performance in the New World of Work" is an extraordinary=
, insightful, effective, and thoroughly 'user friendly' 'how-to' instructio= nal reference guide that is especially recommended for personal reading lis=

https://www.amazon.com/Power-Remote-High-Performing-Organizations-Workplace= /dp/1955884447

Synopsis: Arising from the Covid-19 pandemic's impact upon the business com= munity resulting in an increased demand for hybrid and fully remote work st= yles, most firms understand that some form of distance work is here to stay=
-- and they have put some remote protocols in place.

But are they the right ones? Do they reflect best practices when it comes t=
o the hiring, training, and onboarding of new remote hires? Are policies an=
d workflows in place that enable remote workers to be as productive as poss= ible? Does management know how to keep remote teams engaged while keeping a=
n eye out for burnout and other wellness issues?

Often, the answer is "we're not quite there yet." Many companies either see=
the shift to remote work as a threat to their culture and management style=
, or they just don't know how to make the transition.

With the publication of "The Power of Remote: Building High-Performing Orga= nizations That Thrive in the Virtual Workplace", co-authors Cynthia Watson = and Shane Spraggs show just how to take advantage of the many opportunities=
remote work presents.

Critique: Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, "The Power o=
f Remote: Building High-Performing Organizations That Thrive in the Virtual=
Workplace" is expertly divided into five major sections: Remote Steps into=
the Spotlight; Building a Remote Team; Optimal Remote Performance; Effecti=
ve Virtual Leadership; Tackling Remote Business Projects. A critically impo= rtant informational and instructional resource, "The Power of Remote" is av= ailable for personal reading lists in a digital book format (Kindle, $9.99)=
and should be considered an essential, core addition to professional, comm= unity, corporate, and academic library Business Organizational Management a=
nd Telecommunications collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists=

https://www.amazon.com/Great-Digital-Transformation-Reimagining-Interaction= s/dp/1955884455

Synopsis: Creating a website and digitizing processes may have seemed cutti=
ng edge at one time; but technologies have continued to advance, and retail= ers simply must keep up if they are to succeed in today's volatile marketpl= ace.

Gerard Szatvanyi, an entrepreneur and founder of OSF Digital, a leading Sal= esforce partner, knows firsthand what it takes to remain on top (and not be= come obsolete) in today's connected retail world. Global brands and compani=
es of all sizes have turned to him, time and again, to help them through th= eir own digital transformation journeys. Thanks to the expertise of Szatvan=
yi and his team, these retailers have been able to avoid the red. Better ye=
t, they have built systems that support customer interactions and enable an=
integrated, experience-driven path forward.

What does it take to digitally transform? Szatvanyi is aware of the obstacl= es, and he doesn't shy away from tough topics in the retail space, includin=
g the challenges surrounding stores and misunderstandings about remote work=
.. Rather, with the publication of "The Great Digital Transformation: Reimag= ining the Future of Customer Interactions" and in an approachable conversat= ional style, he extends his hand and invites readers to sit back with him a=
nd dream.

After all, with the technologies available today, the possibilities are nea= rly endless. Szatvanyi points out that the starting line is not a budget re= view or the development of a to-do list. Rather, it's a thinking exercise; =
a conversation, if you will, about what could be.

In his pragmatic way, Szatvanyi turns the complicated topic of digital tran= sformation into easy-to-digest segments. What other strategy allows you to = play video games for a few hours and try on headsets? Yet that's exactly wh=
at Szatvanyi advises. Doing so can help readers understand the potential of=
these technologies. After engaging in up-and-coming channels, it's often e= asier to imagine ways to use them to interact with customers. With personal=
examples and case studies sprinkled throughout, readers shift from thinkin=
g about new ways to live and work to seeing them in action.

"The Great Digital Transformation" covers: What digital transformation is; = How to be customer-centric; Ways to create mobile experiences; The purpose =
of on-the-ground stores; How to engage in video; Guidelines to give employe=
es meaningful tasks; Ways to reimagine remote work; What to know about head= less commerce; How to target a niche market; Why building a community matte= rs; How to capture data the right way; Best practices for setting up teams = and systems.

Szatvanyi also shares practical guidelines to weigh the costs and benefits =
of new implementations. "The Great Digital Transformation" maintains a focu=
s on revenue generation and improved profit margins. In every chapter, Szat= vanyi lists questions to help readers re-think their current practices and = re-imagine their business. These takeaways make it easy for organizations, = regardless of their available resources or budgets, to take steps forward. = Readers will be inspired to start their own digital transformation journeys=
and lead their brands toward a bright, profitable future.

Critique: Given the dramatic impact that the digital world has had on every= thing from politics to commerce, from consumer behavior to supply chain dyn= amics, "The Great Digital Transformation: Reimagining the Future of Custome=
r Interactions" must be considered as an essential and core addition to per= sonal, professional, community, corporate, and academic library Business On= line Marketing and E-Commerce collections and supplemental curriculum studi=
es lists. It should be noted for MBA students, academia, corporate executiv= es, entrepreneurs and business marketing directors that "The Great Digital = Transformation" is also available in a digital book format (Kindle, $9.99).

Editorial Note: Gerard Szatvanyi (https://gerardszatvanyi.com) is the found= er, president, and CEO of OSF Digital, a leading global commerce solutions = company which specializes in digital transformation. OSF Digital is a certi= fied and award-winning Salesforce partner and has successfully led global r= etailers through their digital journeys. As an entrepreneur and executive, = Szatvanyi has more than twenty years of experience in managing start-ups an=
d medium-sized IT businesses and leading them to reach top performance. Cli= ents from around the world have sought his expertise in enterprise applicat= ions, IT services, and consultancy. With his long list of international con= nections, Szatvanyi is pioneering the way into a new form of global entrepr= eneurship. In addition to his role at OSF Digital, he holds management and = board positions for other tech-enabled businesses.
