Four books that might interest you

Marketing, organization and collaboration are changing fundamentally as a result of AI, new working models and increasing demands for self-management and networking. Visibility is increasingly being created in generative systems, leadership must ensure both health and performance, and successful work is increasingly characterized by flexible forms of collaboration. In collaboration with GetAbstract, we present four current books that provide a compact overview of these developments and provide practical impulses for the future-oriented design of marketing, leadership and organization.

 

In collaboration with GetAbstract, we present four books from the marketing and communications sector. This time: «Generative Engine Optimization», «The Mentally Healthy Organization», «Chain Breakers» and «No One Wins Alone».

The mentally healthy organization

How it controls itself.

Silke Schemer

Publisher: Verlag Barbara Budrich

Publication year: 2025

Pages: 190

ISBN: 9783847431725

How can performance be ensured without overburdening people? Silke Schemer answers this question with a structured management approach that translates psychological findings directly into organizational design. She argues that self-management is the decisive resource of modern organizations. The multitude of levels, terms and models increases analytical precision, but also makes the book challenging to read. Those who accept this density will receive a seriously elaborated framework for organizational health.

Chain sprinkler

More freedom, more us - the path to self-determined and successful work.

Ingo Hamm

Publisher: Vahlen

Publication year: 2025

Pages: 280

ISBN: 9783800677726

Having just worked from home, many employees are now being told to return to the office. Business psychologist Ingo Hamm uses illustrative examples to describe how frustrated many team members react to this. He analyzes the topic psychologically in order to derive practical recommendations for managers. The author's enjoyment of language does lead to some repetitions that could be dispensed with in terms of content. However, anyone who wants to learn about the weaknesses and strengths of home and office work and find ideal combinations is well advised to read this book.

No one wins alone

Structured networking - the underestimated path to success.

Carsten Sudhoff

Publisher: Haufe

Publication year: 2026

Pages: 198

ISBN: 9783689510350

Carsten Sudhoff is convinced that networking is an underestimated skill for the future. At some point, everyone faces a complex challenge where they need support. If you can then rely on a good network, you have access to the expertise and skills of others to solve the problem. Professional networker Sudhoff provides easy-to-understand tips and explains in practical terms how to turn mere contacts into a reliable network. Some examples seem a little contrived, but it is still worth reading for anyone who wants to build and maintain their network in a structured way.
