REWORK is an international best seller, ranked in the best sales of: New York Times – Wall Street Journal – Sunday Times.

This is the manifesto of 21st century entrepreneurship Written by Jason Fried and Jason Heinemeier-Hansson, the founders and managers of an American software design company (37signals):

REWORK shakes up all the most commonly accepted principles on the creation, development and management of a company.

This new edition highlights the “manifesto of entrepreneurship” aspect of the book for the 21st century. In a speech of uncommon strength of conviction, served by black and white illustrations of great strength, the authors dismantle one by one all the so-called essential concepts of success:

• planning is useless,

• we learn nothing from our mistakes,

• working too much is detrimental to success,

• there is no point in gaining weight,

• don’t listen to others (and especially not the older ones),

• meetings are the death of businesses,

• the rapidity

Why are organizations so resistant to change? What strategy should be used to overcome this inertia? How can you avoid anxiety and overcome roadblocks while evolving? What role does leadership play in meeting the challenges of change? Companies must constantly launch new initiatives in an increasingly volatile and competitive world. This strategy, which has become essential for success, requires learning to lead change in order to be implemented successfully. World-renowned change management expert John Kotter offers a true eight-step roadmap for successful change in a book considered by Time magazine to be one of the 25 most influential business books of all time. Driving Change is a book that is both practical and operational in its approach.

A unique and spectacular guide to making the most of our professional and personal lives!

Even if, contrary to the famous FBI negotiator Chris Voss, we are rarely called upon to stand up to a madman recluse in a bank, our daily life is a succession of negotiations from which we do not always emerge victorious: this promotion of which we dream, constantly postponed; this bank loan that we are hesitant to ask for; the demands of a child to which one ends up yielding… What if we stopped cutting the pear in half every time?

Chris Voss has developed a set of principles, tactics, and emotional and communicational strategies that can disarm even the most obstinate or devious interlocutor in any type of potential negotiation.

Netflix has brought about a true revolution in the world of entertainment. It has become a monster that fascinates as well as frightens the audiovisual world, present in 190 countries, bringing together hundreds of millions of customers, including seven million in France, and weighing more than 200 billion dollars. Reed Hastings founded his first company in 1997, which provides an online DVD rental and purchase service delivered to your home. Understanding the consequences of the digital revolution ahead of time, he will adapt quickly, reject all rules, and develop his own change and management doctrine based on freedom and responsibility.

At Netflix, employee quality is more important than procedure quality; innovation takes precedence over efficiency; there are no limits for leave and expense reports; absolute sincerity is expected rather than avoidance; and we are paid well above the market as long as our creativity and performance are present. While telling the story of this extraordinary company and giving a voice to many of those who participated in it and lived through the mistakes and abrupt changes, it is the entire daily life, philosophy, and experience of a unique company that has created its own revolutionary model. Reed Hastings chose an unconventional method of developing his ideas: an often contradictory dialogue between him and Erin Meyer.
