Führung rockt!: Wie Sie bei Ihren Mitarbeitern ein Klima für freies Denken und Innovationen schaffen
by Lutz W. EichlerFührung rockt - wenn es gelingt, die Kreativität der Mitarbeiter und deren Lust am eigenen Wirken zu wecken und ihnen Freiräume zum Wachsen zu geben. Das Buch befasst sich mit den Chancen und Herausforderungen des Leadership im Industriezeitalter 4.0. Der Schwerpunkt des Buches von Lutz W. Eichler ist die Erschließung des kreativen Potenzials der Mitarbeiter und Teams durch exzellente Führung. Führungskräfte müssen ihre Rolle heute neu definieren und sich klar werden, dass Führung vor allem von den Geführten abhängig ist. Sie müssen anders kommunizieren und mit Fehlern umgehen, ihren Mitarbeitern die Möglichkeiten geben, auch scheinbar verrückte oder abwegige Dinge zu tun und damit ein echtes Klima für freies Denken und Innovationen schaffen. Große und neue Wertschöpfung findet mehr und mehr außerhalb standardisierter Normen und Regeln statt. Das ist Chance und Herausforderung, zugleich aber auch Risiko, wenn wir es falsch machen. In seinem Buch verbindet Lutz W. Eichler seine jahrzehntelange Erfahrung als Psychologe, Trainer, Berater und Führungskraft mit den Anforderungen, die eine sich schnell wandelnde Businesswelt unter den Bedingungen des Internets und der Industrialisierung 4.0 an moderne Führung stellt. Mit Impulsen zum Aufstehen, Anfangen und Anpacken!

Natural and Synthetic Waxes: Origin, Production, Technology, and Applications
by Ernst J. Krendlinger Uwe H. WolfmeierNatural and Synthetic Waxes A compilation of all relevant information for the production and use of waxes in technical applications Waxes are among the oldest organic substances used by mankind. Before all others, beeswax is known to have played a role in human history for thousands of years. But over time, many other wax species have been detected and exploited, and prepared for different utilizations. Today, we possess knowledge of a great variety of different types of waxes. Unfortunately, there still is no broadly accepted definition of a wax: for the relatively few wax chemists, waxes are usually defined by their physico-chemical properties more than by their chemical constitution. Waxes are not uniform but oligomeric and polymeric substances, not simply describable with a chemical formula. The realm of waxes encompasses fully or partly natural, refined, partly or fully synthetic products, which can be extended by “wax-like” products which do not fulfil all definition criteria. Waxes are offered in different forms like pellets, granules, powders, or micropowders. Their number of technical applications runs into thousands. However, waxes in most cases are just adjuvants or additives, and with few exceptions like candles not known to a broader public. Only few publications over the last decades tried to present a more comprehensive overview of heir chemistry, chemical composition, their physical and analytical properties, their applications, and their sometimes astonishing history. Based on personal experience and expertise, the authors intend to present an overview on the main classes of waxes, their origin, history, future, and potential fate. Economical aspects like market size and development, ecological impacts and challenges, and regulatory issues are also addressed. Waxes are indispensable products in everyday life and in industry and technology, though mostly not even visible or distinguishable to experts. They deserve more than the role of a “poor cousin” in chemistry and technology.
