"Intrinsic motivation-doing a thing for its inherent satisfaction rather than external rewards-is the key to success and satisfaction in any endeavor. A legendary performance coach shares his simple, proven, and fun methods for cultivating and keeping it. To be productive and optimistic about our personal and professional lives, we want to feel that we can understand and influence what is happening around us today, and that we have a reliable insight into what will happen tomorrow. We also require a rich, supportive, and secure social life. As more of us work remotely and the frequency of our in-person contact decreases, this desire for connection and trust has only become more important; the social drive is so strong that our body temperature drops when we feel excluded. To satisfy our psychological needs in today's professional world, we must pursue them consciously and purposefully-but unfortunately, most of us don't know how to do so effectively. Instead, we waste our time on ineffective coping strategies that often make us feel even worse. The true solution to becoming happier, healthier, and more productive is to become intrinsically motivated: To stop wasting time on activities that don't really contribute to our careers or our company's success, eschew the dog-eat-dog culture of modern business, and find ways to take pleasure in what we do-and to do it well. Intrinsic Motivation by Stefan Falk is a comprehensive guide to achieving this goal. Filled with methods and techniques he developed at McKinsey & Company and through 25 years as a senior executive and performance coach working with elite athletes, top executives, special operators in the armed forces, and leaders from all walks of life, this book will revolutionize your approach to success at work and beyond"-- Provided by publisher

Das Wettbewerbsfeld der Rückversicherungsunternehmen hat sich in der jüngsten Vergangenheit stark dynamisiert. Die tragischen Ereignisse vom 11. September 2001 haben die gesamte Versicherungsbranche erschüttert und zu einer Verknappung sowie Verteuerung des Kapitals geführt. Rückversicherungsunternehmen sind nun gezwungen, profitabel zu wirtschaften und eine optimale, renditeorientierte Verwendung des Kapitals zu erreichen. Eine effektive Performance-Messung auf Ebene des einzelnen Rückversicherungsvertrages spielt dabei eine entscheidende Rolle für den Geschäftserfolg und als Planungs- und Steuerungsinstrument. Falk beschreibt dies exemplarisch für die Lebensrückversicherung. Die Arbeit behandelt verschiedene Motivationsquellen des Konzepts, die Finanzierungsfunktion der Lebensrückversicherung, Einflussfaktoren auf den Vertragsverlauf, grundlegende Aspekte der Konzeption und mögliche Funktionsweisen der Performance-Messung. Falk zeigt den konkreten Nutzen einer solchen Performance-Messung für Rückversicherungsunternehmen und beschreibt deren Umsetzung in Form einer Datenbank. Die Thematik ist komplex und vielschichtig, bietet reichlich Diskussionsstoff und beleuchtet grundlegende Fragestellungen, ohne einen „eins zu eins“ übertragbaren Lösungsvorschlag zu liefern. Stattdessen werden Ansätze für weiterführende Überlegungen angeboten.
