Book Synopsis Demystifying Leadership by : Asha Kaul
Download or read book Demystifying Leadership written by Asha Kaul and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-18 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can leadership lessons be learnt from the Mahabharata? Demystifying Leadership positively asserts that we can and probes inquiry in the lives of six characters-Bhishma, Ashvatthama, Karna, Shakuni, Kunti and Krishna. It studies these characters in inescapable situations as they navigate through life by demonstrating values, decision-making ability, integrity and principles. Within the given constraints, some of these characters swim and rise, while others sink in moral turpitude. Extrapolating these successful and not-so-successful character traits to corporate leaders and linking them to scholarship, the authors provide lessons for leaders and managers operating in diverse situations. Borrowing from different disciplines, such as literature, philosophy, politics and psychology, Demystifying Leadership proposes to link essentials of leadership in the form of a Leadership Triangle comprising six levels: positive personality, peace with personal identity, purpose, positive use of power and politics, paradoxical leadership and principled pragmatism. It takes a grounded approach in amalgamating mythology and leadership through scholarship and practice.

Mack Story High Impact leaders align their habits with key values in order to maximize their influence. These 10 values are common sense. However, they are not always common practice. These 10 values will help you build trust and accelerate relationship building. Those mastering these 10 values will be able to lead with speed as they develop 360 of influence from wherever they are. THE VALUE OF VISION Vision is the foundation of hope. THE VALUE OF MODELING Someone is always watching you. THE VALUE OF RESPONSIBILITY When we take responsibility, we take control. THE VALUE OF TIMING It matters when you do what you do. THE VALUE OF RESPECT To be respected, we must be respectful. THE VALUE OF EMPOWERMENT Leaders gain influence by giving it to others. THE VALUE OF DELEGATION We should lead with questions instead of directions. THE VALUE OF MULTIPLICATION None of us is as influential as all of us. THE VALUE OF RESULTS Leaders like to make things happen. THE VALUE OF SIGNIFICANCE Are you going to settle for success? Why we do what we do is about our purpose. How we do what we do is about our performance. What we do will determine our potential. Where these three components overlap, you will achieve a HIGH IMPACT."

Book Synopsis Demystifying Leadership Series by : Mack Story
Download or read book Demystifying Leadership Series written by Mack Story and published by Kaizenops. This book was released on 2014-05-03 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If you already knew what you need to know, you would already be where you want to go." Mack Story, Defining Influence Are you looking for transformation in your life? Do you want better results? Do you want stronger relationships? In Defining Influence, Mack blends his personal growth journey with lessons on the principles he learned to apply effectively along the way. He's not telling you what he learned after years of research. He's a regular guy telling you what he learned after years of application and transformation. He has found his purpose in helping others grow and develop as they light the fire within. My passion is to help you transform your life as I share principles of influence mixed with personal stories that allowed me to overcome being a reactive, short tempered, self-serving, front-line factory worker. My transformation over many years resulted in my developing a strong passion for studying and teaching professional leadership. I'll detail the principles I learned and applied in order to change ME, so I could rebuild my relationship with my son after losing all influence with him from age 15-19. Our relationship is better than ever now. He's 23 and is a student of leadership as well. He is getting amazing results personally and professionally too! I don't just teach leadership principles straight from a book. I teach them straight from my life. I learn them. I apply them. I verify them. And then, I share what I have learned to help others improve. "We are anxious to improve our circumstances, but we are unwilling to improve ourselves. We, therefore, remain bound." James Allen Excerpt from the Introduction: You will learn the foundational principles of leadership (influence) which will help you understand the importance of the following five questions. You will be able to take effective action by growing yourself and possibly others to a higher level of leadership (influence). Everything you ever achieve, internally and externally, will be a direct result of your influence. 1.Why do we influence? - Our character determines why we influence. Who we are on the inside is what matters. Do we manipulate or motivate? It's all about intent. 2.How do we influence? - Our character, combined with our competency, determines how we influence. Who we are and what we know combine to create our unique style of influence which determines our methods of influence. 3.Where do we influence? - Our passion and purpose determine where we have the greatest influence. What motivates and inspires us gives us the energy and authenticity to motivate and inspire others. 4.Who do we influence? - We influence those who buy-in to us. Only those valuing and seeking what we value and seek will volunteer to follow us. They give us or deny us permission to influence them based on how well we have developed our character and competency. 5.When do we influence? - We influence others when they want our influence. We choose when others influence us. Everyone else has the same choice. They decide when to accept or reject our influence. We only influence others when they want to change. The first three questions are about the choices we make as we lead (influence) ourselves and others. The last two questions deal more with the choices others will make as they decide first, if they will follow us, and second, when they will follow us. They will base their choices on who we are and what we know. Asking these questions is important. Knowing the answers is more important. But, taking action based on the answers is most important. Cumulatively, the answers to these questions determine our leadership style and our level of influence (leadership).
Book Synopsis Demystifying Professional Learning Communities by : Kristine Kiefer Hipp
Download or read book Demystifying Professional Learning Communities written by Kristine Kiefer Hipp and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2010-02-16 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to clearly define an approach to school improvement that uses professional learning community (PLC) practices to achieve school improvement and success for every student. This book offers information, examples and case studies to clarify the concept of a PLC, to respond to critical issues in schools, and to support educational leaders in addressing the important mandates of accountability and school improvement. As school leaders proactively lead efforts to create learning communities, their schools, districts, and staff will incorporate knowledge, skills, and practices that focus on teaching and learning for all. The authors' findings will assist leaders, change agents, policy makers, and university faculty in guiding schools toward creating and maintaining PLCs as they sustain school improvement for student learning.

Book Synopsis Maximize Your Potential by : Mack Story
Download or read book Maximize Your Potential written by Mack Story and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOTE: Maximize Your Potential: Unleashing the Leader Within is the white-collar, or non-specific, version of Blue-Collar Leadership: Leading from the Front Lines and the content is nearly identical. It's primarily for those team members who do not have anyone reporting to them. Finally, there is a book specifically created for the often overlooked and underdeveloped entry-level team members. My passion is to help leaders and organizations invest in their team or to help you invest in yourself. I wish someone would have given me this book nearly 30 years ago when I started my career. It would have changed my life then. It can change your life now. Separate yourself from the crowd quickly by learning how to master the traits High Impact leaders value most. You will learn how to get noticed by the right people and how to get promoted for the right reasons. You will learn how to become recognized as a leader worth following, and you don't need formal authority (position) because you will develop something much better: moral authority (influence). I've made this book easy to read for non-readers. There are 30 chapters with 3 pages each. If you read a chapter per day (3 pages; 8-10 minutes), you will easily complete the book in one month even if you're a non-reader. I've written this book specifically for the often overlooked and underdeveloped entry-level team members who have so much untapped potential. It will help them better understand: - how to make an impact from where they are - how to be recognized for their abilities - how to position themselves well for promotions - how to increase their influence with their leaders and their teammates - how to be a better team player - how & why they should accept more responsibility - how to intentionally become more valuable to the company - how to become more valuable and successful as an individual - how to lead themselves well in order to create a better future. This book will actually be great for anyone at any level in any industry, but the greatest value will be to those in any position who have received little or no leadership development. Of course, higher level leaders also need to know and understand what's in this book to multiply the potential of those on their team. Because the book is based on principles, they apply to all people at all levels regardless of position or title.

Book Synopsis Maximize Your Leadership Potential by : Mack Story
Download or read book Maximize Your Leadership Potential written by Mack Story and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOTE: Maximize Your Leadership Potential: Beyond Management & Supervision is the white-collar, or non-specific, version of Blue-Collar Leadership & Supervision: Unleash Your Team's Potential and the content is nearly identical. It's primarily for those who have others reporting directly to them, especially those new to a formal leadership position or those who have had very little or no formal leadership training and development. Think of this book as "Leadership 101" for leaders at any level. It's written in an easy to read format with 30 chapters that are three pages each. It can also be easily utilized for conducting a 30 day book study with your leaders. This book is a tool and resource for developing those courageous people who have stepped up and accepted a position of leadership, most often, without ever receiving any formal leadership training. They're simply expected to lead without being taught how to lead. And, they do the best they can. This book will help them grow beyond management and supervision. Leaders will understand what it means to be a high impact leader of people and how to become a highly effective leader. They will learn how to move beyond managing people and to begin leading people. As I share the principles that allowed me to be promoted 14 times in the first 20 years of my career, they will learn how to get noticed by the right leaders and how to get promoted for the right reasons. With over 11,000 hours of leading leaders and their cross-functional teams through process improvement, organizational change, and cultural transformation, I've also used the principles in this book to achieve amazing results with and through other people. After reading this book, you will have a choice. Will you remain a traditional supervisor or manager of people? Or, will you choose to become a high impact leader of people that also supervises and manages things and process?
Book Synopsis The Digital Transformation of Logistics by : Mac Sullivan
Download or read book The Digital Transformation of Logistics written by Mac Sullivan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The digital transformation is in full swing and fundamentally changes how we live, work, and communicate with each other. From retail to finance, many industries see an inflow of new technologies, disruption through innovative platform business models, and employees struggling to cope with the significant shifts occurring. This Fourth Industrial Revolution is predicted to also transform Logistics and Supply Chain Management, with delivery systems becoming automated, smart networks created everywhere, and data being collected and analyzed universally. The Digital Transformation of Logistics: Demystifying Impacts of the Fourth Industrial Revolution provides a holistic overview of this vital subject clouded by buzz, hype, and misinformation. The book is divided into three themed-sections: Technologies such as self-driving cars or virtual reality are not only electrifying science fiction lovers anymore, but are also increasingly presented as cure-all remedies to supply chain challenges. In The Digital Transformation of Logistics: Demystifying Impacts of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the authors peel back the layers of excitement that have grown around new technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), 3D printing, Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Blockchain or Cloud computing, and show use cases that give a glimpse about the fascinating future we can expect. Platforms that allow businesses to centrally acquire and manage their logistics services disrupt an industry that has been relationship-based for centuries. The authors discuss smart contracts, which are one of the most exciting applications of Blockchain, Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings for freight procurement, where numerous data sources can be integrated and decision-making processes automated, and marine terminal operating systems as an integral node for shipments. In The Digital Transformation of Logistics: Demystifying Impacts of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, insights are shared into the cold chain industry where companies respond to increasing quality demands, and how European governments are innovatively responding to challenges of cross-border eCommerce. People are a vital element of the digital transformation and must be on board to drive change. The Digital Transformation of Logistics: Demystifying Impacts of the Fourth Industrial Revolution explains how executives can create sustainable impact and how competencies can be managed in the digital age - especially for sales executives who require urgent upskilling to remain relevant. Best practices are shared for organizational culture change, drawing on studies among senior leaders from the US, Singapore, Thailand, and Australia, and for managing strategic alliances with logistics service providers to offset risks and create cross-functional, cross-company transparency. The Digital Transformation of Logistics: Demystifying Impacts of the Fourth Industrial Revolution provides realistic insights, a ready-to-use knowledge base, and a working vocabulary about current activities and emerging trends of the Logistics industry. Intended readers are supply chain professionals working for manufacturing, trading, and freight forwarding companies as well as students and all interested parties.

Book Synopsis Demystifying Dissertation Writing by : Peg Boyle Single
Download or read book Demystifying Dissertation Writing written by Peg Boyle Single and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research shows that five strategies correlate with the successful completion of a dissertation:·Establishing a consistent writing routine·Working with a support group·Consulting your advisor·Understanding your committee’s expectations·Setting a realistic and timely scheduleBuilding on these insights, this book is for anyone who needs help in preparing for, organizing, planning, scheduling, and writing the longest sustained writing project they have encountered, particularly if he or she is not receiving sufficient guidance about the process, but also for anyone looking to boost his or her writing productivity.The author uncovers much tacit knowledge, provides advice on working with dissertation advisors and committee members, presents proven techniques for the prewriting and writing stages of the dissertation, sets out a system for keeping on schedule, and advocates enlisting peer support. As Peg Boyle Single states, “my goal is quite simple and straightforward: for you to experience greater efficiency and enjoyment while writing. If you experience anxiety, blocking, impatience, perfectionism or procrastination when you write, then this system is for you. I want you to be able to complete your writing so that you can move on with the rest of your life.” Few scholars, let alone graduate students, have been taught habits of writing fluency and productivity. The writing skills imparted by this book will not only help the reader through the dissertation writing process, but will serve her or him in whatever career she or he embarks on, given the paramount importance of written communication, especially in the academy. This book presents a system of straightforward and proven techniques that are used by productive writers, and applies them to the dissertation process. In particular, it promotes the concept of writing networks – whether writing partners or groups – to ensure that writing does not become an isolated and tortured process, while not hiding the need for persistence and sustained effort.This book is intended for graduate students and their advisers in the social sciences, the humanities, and professional fields. It can further serve as a textbook for either informal writing groups led by students or for formal writing seminars offered by departments or graduate colleges. The techniques described will help new faculty advice their students more effectively and even achieve greater fluency in their own writing.

Increasingly, the ability to glean and operationalize new insights efficiently as a byproduct of an organization’s day-to-day operations is becoming vital to hospitals and health systems ability to survive and prosper. One of the long-standing challenges in healthcare informatics has been the ability to deal with the sheer variety and volume of disparate healthcare data and the increasing need to derive veracity and value out of it.

This book focuses on teaching you how to: Develop skills needed to identify and demolish big-data myths Become an expert in separating hype from reality Understand the V’s that matter in healthcare and why Harmonize the 4 C’s across little and big data Choose data fi delity over data quality Learn how to apply the NRF Framework Master applied machine learning for healthcare Conduct a guided tour of learning algorithms Recognize and be prepared for the future of artificial intelligence in healthcare via best practices, feedback loops, and contextually intelligent agents (CIAs) The variety of data in healthcare spans multiple business workflows, formats (structured, un-, and semi-structured), integration at point of care/need, and integration with existing knowledge. In order to deal with these realities, the authors propose new approaches to creating a knowledge-driven learning organization-based on new and existing strategies, methods and technologies. This book will address the long-standing challenges in healthcare informatics and provide pragmatic recommendations on how to deal with them.
