Download or read book Managing Your Virtual Boss written by Carmela Southers and published by Happy About. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remote work, distributed teams, and virtual managers are a reality for many thousands in today's workforce. Working remotely can mean zero or low commuting stress, more independence, a great work-life balance, and enhanced productivity. On the flip side, it can mean being on call 24/7, isolation, scanty career enhancement opportunities, and loss of motivation. So how do you ensure that remote work becomes a positive experience for you? Virtual work expert Carmela Southers teaches you how, in her eloquent new book, "#MANAGING YOUR VIRTUAL BOSS tweet." Carmela is no novice to virtual work. Over two decades, she built her career exclusively through virtual work. Her current manager is located 3000 miles away, a factor that she has turned into a plus for herself, her manager, and the organization. This first-person, hands-on experience is what makes her new book unique, accessible, and invaluable for anybody who works at a distance from their boss-telecommuters, work-from-home individuals, field sales personnel, managers of distributed teams-every one of them will turn the pages to find practical guidance with immediate results. Carmela points out that, as a remote worker, you must understand your boss's perspective. She shows you how to be more aware of what your boss needs from you, how to communicate in a way that conveys your dedication without resorting to 3 a.m. emails, how to improve personal discipline, and how to gain the trust and confidence to be perceived as a high performer who deserves flexibility and autonomy. You will learn to understand, and even empathize, with the secret fears your boss has in managing you, and master practical strategies you can use to ensure your success. The world of work has changed before our eyes, and even more changes lie ahead. As with any change, there is potential for danger...and opportunity. Although the title of the book specifically refers to boss, this book has great tips on how to manage anyone that you're currently working with (i.e., project leader, project member, customer, peer, etc.). The win/win view philosophy that Carmela Southers proposes makes "#MANAGING YOUR VIRTUAL BOSS tweet" a must-read today.

Download or read book Cyberpsychology and the Brain written by Thomas D. Parsons and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyberpsychology is a relatively new discipline that is growing at an alarming rate. While a number of cyberpsychology-related journals and books have emerged, none directly address the neuroscience behind it. This book proposes a framework for integrating neuroscience and cyberpsychology for the study of social, cognitive, and affective processes, and the neural systems that support them. A brain-based cyberpsychology can be understood as a branch of psychology that studies the neurocognitive, affective, and social aspects of humans interacting with technology, as well as the affective computing aspects of humans interacting with computational devices or systems. As such, a cyberpsychologist working from a brain-based cyberpsychological framework studies both the ways in which persons make use of devices and the neurocognitive processes, motivations, intentions, behavioural outcomes, and effects of online and offline uses of technology. Cyberpsychology and the Brain brings researchers into the vanguard of cyberpsychology and brain research.

Download or read book Back to Work written by Stephen Adams and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the current recession began in December 2007, the American economy has lost a staggering total of 6.5 million jobs. The unemployment rate is hovering near 10% for the first time in over a quarter-century. And still, each month, several hundred-thousand more people are losing their jobs. It seems as if words like “hope” and “opportunity” have gone the way of our economy. For many people, the very idea of unemployment (not to mention the reality of it) is a life-changing trauma at the top of their stress list, disrupting their lives and marriages, and even attacking their sense of self-worth. For others, this unenviable circumstance might well be a blessing in disguise—marking the start of a new career path or even self-employment. It all depends on how it’s handled. Back to Work! is a short, easy-to-read book that will help you cope with the emotional and spiritual effects of job loss, from an author who has been there. Three times. In Back to Work! Stephen Adams speaks from experience as he helps you get from wherever you are now—to your next career. This little book is full of illustrations from Stephen’s own life and the lives of other successful career remodelers.
