★2018公理商業圖書獎(Axiom Business Book Awards)得獎作品★亞馬遜書店讀者5星好評★《紫牛》作者賽斯‧高汀（Seth Godin）強力推薦★二十年領導力培訓經驗集結，適用各種企業與團隊規模的新型領導概念一個真正優秀的管理者，不是讓員工視自己為大神，而是讓員工因為他的存在，感到自己也可以很優秀。最高領導力，是改變在那裡工作的人的生活；最高領導力不是成就自己，是成就他人。員工無法投入工作的主要原因，是因為覺得自己在公司無足輕重，以及個人成長得不到發展。知名領導力培訓專家強納森‧雷蒙德以此為基礎，提出「最高領導力」必須以「關懷」為核心，照顧員工的心靈、精神與前途，創造員工自己挖掘答案的空間，提供他們完成目標的資源；讓員工了解個人成長與企業成長休戚與共，把最好的自己帶入工作中，互相成就；協助員工提升工作與生活狀態，個人層面成長，專業也會跟進。本書分三大部分，提供一套可實際操作的想法與工具，幫助管理者養成最高領導力。第一部分以嶄新視角，深入檢視領導階層對於員工投入程度常見的五大迷思，以及五種看似微不足道，卻會影響整個團隊正面╱負面發展的個人行為。懂得察覺這些易被忽略的蛛絲馬跡，就能開啟與員工的深層對話，幫助他們實現前所未有的成長。第二部分以「問責轉盤」為工具，建立「問責文化」。問責不是指責，問責的目的不是指出一個人的弱點，而是協助人們掌握自己的優勢，同時在工作與生活中成長。第三部分介紹「三大領導者原型」，點出優秀的領導者並非全知全能、獨自就能搞定一切的超級英雄，而是像《星際大戰》裡的尤達，提供學習空間與分享智慧，放手讓員工面對各種挑戰，發掘潛能。最後提出「五種員工原型」，針對如何引導出每個人的優勢提出新的觀點。真正優秀的領導權威，不是全知全能、帶頭衝鋒陷陣的超級英雄，而是懂得讓出戰場、適時給予支持的尤達大師！無論您是企業執行長、高級主管，團隊負責人，顧問還是教練，都能在書中找到能確實優化團隊的領導方法，並且付諸實踐。【好評推薦】不僅僅只想當個管理者的人必讀之作。《最高領導力》是當代經典，它重新定義當老闆的意義。－－賽斯‧高汀（Seth Godin），《紫牛》（Linchpin）作者

Packed with doodles and cartoons, here is the diary of Loki as he's trapped on earth as a petulant eleven-year-old--and even worse, annoying thunder god Thor is there, too. After one prank too many, trickster god Loki has been banished to live as a kid on Earth. If he can show moral improvement within one month, he can return to Asgard. If he can't? Eternity in a pit of angry snakes. Rude! To keep track of Loki's progress, King Odin (a bossy poo-poo head) gives him this magical diary in which Loki is forced to confess the truth, even when that truth is as ugly as a naked mole rat. To make matters worse, Loki has to put up with an eleven-year-old Thor tagging along and making him look bad. Loki is not even allowed to use his awesome godly powers! As Loki suffers the misery of school lunch, discovers the magic of internet videos, and keeps watch for frost giant spies, will he finally learn to tell good from bad, trust from tricks, and friends from enemies? Louie Stowell's witty text and

From the creator of Maisy, a joyful picture book with a gentle environmental message finds four insect friends in search of a good place to live.Bee, Ladybug, Beetle, and Dragonfly are looking for somewhere to live. And each has a different want: Bee loves flowers, Ladybug prefers leaves, Beetle is fond of dead wood, and Dragonfly likes ponds.

Will these four friends ever find a good place? Lucy Cousins brings her bold artwork and endearing characters to an inviting story that leads to a dazzling conclusion, showing children that even in an urban environment, encouraging wildlife and natural ecosystems can create a healthy and beautiful habitat for all of us.
