Book Synopsis Pinocchio. Leadership without Lies by : Beppe Carrella
Download or read book Pinocchio. Leadership without Lies written by Beppe Carrella and published by goWare. This book was released on 2018-09-24 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What should Pinocchio, king of liars, teach us about leadership? What does lying mean? What leader would candidly admit, to telling a lot of lies of their own free will? Leadership is made of and is told through stories about great universal values which, however, we prove to lack in our communal everyday life. There are way too many omissions in these stories. True leadership is a whole different thing. Carrella’s is a journey through the truth in the lies set to music, to wild rock and songs that sound like poetry and poetry that sounds like songs. A breathtaking narration. There is no winking at the readers, no attempt to earn their favor. It is hard like only rock can be. Like only true stories are. Every passage a song, a memory, a tiny dot, a tale of business history. Songs, literary works, comics, documentaries, videos are used to portray a most original variation of Pinocchio the hero, looking for freedom through disobedience, lies and the confrontation with own his vulnerability. Which might just be the path of the leader: saying only what other people want you to say. Ultimately, then, Pinocchio the puppet is the one who tells less lies of all.
Book Synopsis Faust. The Dark Side of Leadership by : Beppe Carrella
Download or read book Faust. The Dark Side of Leadership written by Beppe Carrella and published by goWare. This book was released on 2023-12-07 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being a leader and saving one’s soul by successfully doing one’s job is a very complex mission. Too often, leadership is but a footnote to ‘a Faustian pact’, an ethical hell that requires the conscientious use of an internal moral GPS. Faust’s story is a guide, capable of giving substance to our most hidden shadows, living with the presence of good and evil, re-establishing a relationship with nature and trying to recover that feminine energy that is present in each of us, often repressed. It could become a lifesaver for learning to juggle in a world that burns everything and everyone on the altar of profit. It is a tale that represents the effort to go beyond rationality and the accumulation of knowledge, a journey to escape the boredom of a life lived through the eyes of others. Perhaps at the end of this journey we will be able to smile at what K. Kraus writes: ‘The devil is an optimist if he thinks he can make men worse’. After all, by now, dear Mephistopheles, I know what you look like, and you are an optimist if you think I will sign a pact with you. Or maybe not?

Download or read book Don Quixote. The Leadership of Near-Win written by Beppe Carrella and published by goWare. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can Don Quixote, patron saint of the resilient, dauntless champion of near-victories, teach us about leadership? And who, much like him, wouldn’t want to be a knight? To live a thousand adventures, to amaze and astonish, to be rewarded with fame, to be the carrier of great ideals and values. What happened to that dream? We are so quick to label believers as fools… and who is more of a dreamer than the don? Someone who lost his marbles, who has started to see beauty in his surroundings. Who calls the “truth” of this world into question. The don has a vision, which compels him to set off with nag and squire, just moving forward. We too might become the heroes of the story, one failure after the other. Uphold our ideals when everything around us is falling apart. Take our talent into our own hands. And well, to quote Will Eisner, it doesn’t matter whether Don Quixote truly existed, what matters is that his dream did. Foreword by Cristina Koch.

Book Synopsis Follow the Leader by : Jyotika Ellwood
Download or read book Follow the Leader written by Jyotika Ellwood and published by BalboaPress. This book was released on 2011-06-08 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Follow The Leader: A Journey to Self Realization is a body, mind and soul book with a difference. It is designed to guide readers towards their highest potential through stories. * This fascinating book includes stories of personal experiences of self discovery, stories from different cultures including Native American like Geronimo and Australian aboriginal Dreamtime stories. This book explains the different religions and how they develop strong faith which is the positive aspect of religion whilst the opposite produces a blind faith or a faith seeped in prejudice that makes us judge ourselves as being holier than others. * The chakras are explained in stories as well, like the deeply moving story of Raicharan. The seven chakras are explained using scientific evidence to verify this amazing power of the body's secret healing system and how this energy allows one to reach their highest potential. "Our sole purpose for being here is to develop our soul, and this can only be done when we consciously change all those negative traits of our inherited and conditioned personality by controlling the mind using the energy from within. This energy gives us the will-power to resist and control the weaker aspects of our human nature and allows our thoughts and actions to be guided by our higher self (personality)." * Shri Patanjali, one of the earliest and greatest of Indian philosophers said, "Concentrate on another's mind know that mind. Concentrate on strength like that of the elephant, get that strength. Concentrate on friendship, mercy, joy, excel in them."
Book Synopsis Pinocchio Goes Postmodern by : Richard Wunderlich
Download or read book Pinocchio Goes Postmodern written by Richard Wunderlich and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first full-length study in English of Carlo Collodi's The Adventures of Pinocchio, the authors show how the checkered history of the puppet illuminates social change from the pre World War One era to the present. The authors argue that most Americans know a trivialized, diluted version of the tale, one such source is Disney's perennial classic. The authors also discover that when adults are introduced to the 'real' story, they often deem it as unsuitable for children. Placing the puppet in a variety of contexts, the authors chart the progression of this childhood tale that has frequently undergone dramatic revisions to suit America's idea of children's literature.
Download or read book Trump @ Work written by Richard Moran and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Unprecedented" is the adjective most often ascribed to everything about Donald Trump. Trump @ Work is about the unprecedented impact that Donald Trump and his Presidency and style has had on attitudes and perceptions of leadership and management. This book brings a unique perspective about what has changed and what has not changed through humorous and true "bullets" and observations. Why do some leaders get fired for things that other leaders boast about? In spite of controversy, why do some initiatives still get implemented? Is implementation all that matters? Is empathy and credibility still critical to success? Why aren’t there any instruction manuals about how to navigate the new workplace? These are not questions raised by just a few. These are questions everyone in the workplace is asking. Trump @ Work explores these questions and many more. It reveals how the rules of the game have changed for everyone seeking success or at least, to survive. It’s hard enough to keep up with leadership and management trends. Donald Trump is making it more difficult, not intentionally, not through the tweets he writes, but by how he is challenging the long existing norms. Who knew that tweeting would become an established way of communicating to an organization? Who knew that in spite of constant searing criticism, one can disregard it and continue to follow an agenda? Who knew that preaching to supporters and ignoring naysayers is a way to manage? Whether you appreciate Donald Trump or not, he has had an impact on the thinking about leadership and management and the author precisely explores that impact in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reenvisioning Israel through Political Cartoons: Visual Discourses During the 2018–2021 Electoral Crisis examines the ways in which the work of Israeli political cartoonists broadens conversations about contemporary challenges in the country. Matt Reingold shows how 21 cartoonists across 10 different Israeli newspapers produced cartoons in response to the country’s social and political crises between December 2018–June 2021, a period where the country was mired in four national elections. Each chapter is structured around an issue that emerged during this period, with examples drawn from multiple cartoonists. This allows for fertile cross-cartoonist discussion and analysis, offering an opportunity to understand the different ways that an issue affects national discourse and what commentaries have been offered about it. By focusing on this difficult period in contemporary Israeli society, the volume highlights the ways that artists have responded to these national challenges and how they have fashioned creative reimaginings of their country.

Book Synopsis When a Lie Is Not a Sin by : Dennis S. Ross
Download or read book When a Lie Is Not a Sin written by Dennis S. Ross and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2016-05-02 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The difference between truth and falsehood is often clear and simple. But when life gets complicated, the Hebrew Bible can help. The Hebrew Bible is true and wants us to tell the truth, even as biblical characters behave in less than truthful ways. What's more, where some of the lies people tell in the Hebrew Bible stories are punished, others are ignored and still others are rewarded. The Hebrew Bible’s mixed-message of "Do as I say, not as they do" shows that lies―little and big, whether told to protect or advance oneself or when intended to preserve the peace―often occur under involved circumstances and demand careful consideration. By viewing an array of situations in light of the Hebrew Bible―from the routine but delicate to the once-in-a-lifetime dilemma―this book will make a difference in how you think and live. This candid look at religion and truthfulness is ideal for anyone interested in exploring the religious basis for personal decision making, conscience and morality, including Jews of all denominations personally or in Torah study groups, Christians and social justice activists.
Book Synopsis How Not to Be a Politician by : Rory Stewart
Download or read book How Not to Be a Politician written by Rory Stewart and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[Rory Stewart] walked across Asia, served in British Parliament, and ran against Boris Johnson. Now he gives us his view of what’s wrong with politics, and how we can make it right.” —Adam Grant, “The 12 New Fall Books to Enrich Your Thinking” From a great writer—legendary for his expeditions into some of the world’s most forbidding places—a wise, honest, and sometimes absurdist memoir of a most remarkable journey through British politics at the breaking point Rory Stewart was an unlikely politician. He was best known for his two-year walk across Asia—in which he crossed Afghanistan, essentially solo, in the months after 9/11—and for his service, as a diplomat in Iraq, and Afghanistan. But in 2009, he abandoned his chair at Harvard University to stand for a seat in Parliament, representing the communities and farms of the Lake District and the Scottish border—one of the most isolated and beautiful districts in England. He ran as a Conservative, though he had no prior connection to the politics and there was much about the party that he disagreed with. How Not to Be a Politician is a candid and penetrating examination of life on the ground as a politician in an age of shallow populism, when every hard problem has a solution that’s simple, appealing, and wrong. While undauntedly optimistic about what a public servant can accomplish in the lives of his constituents, the book is also a pitiless insider’s exposé of the game of politics at the highest level, often shocking in its displays of rampant cynicism, ignorance, glibness, and sheer incompetence. Stewart witnesses Britain’s vote to leave the European Union and its descent into political civil war, compounded by the bad faith of his party’s leaders—David Cameron, Boris Johnson, and Liz Truss. Finally, after nine years of service and six ministerial roles, and shocked by his party’s lurch to the populist right, Stewart ran for prime minister. Stewart’s campaign took him into the lead in the opinion polls, head-to-head against Boris Johnson. How Not to Be a Politician is his effort to make sense of it all, including what has happened to politics in Britain and the world and how we can fix it. The view into democracy’s dark heart is troubling, but at every turn Stewart also finds allies and ways to make a difference. A bracing, invigorating mix of irony and love infuses How Not to Be a Politician. This is one of the most revealing memoirs written by a politician in living memory.
Book Synopsis Tree-Dimensional Leadership by : Arthur Hartzog Ph.D.
Download or read book Tree-Dimensional Leadership written by Arthur Hartzog Ph.D. and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-03-04 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tree-Dimensional Leadership is a unique approach to understanding ourselves and others. It is written in an easy-to-read, entertaining and engaging style that utilizes simple concepts, colorful images, humor, and Biblical and secular wisdom. It is not a scholarly study, and is not a typical self-help book. Tree-Dimensional Leadership is, well, unique. Businesses, government, education, communities and even families need competent leaders and positive role models. This book provides a simple model for viewing and understanding leadership that can be used by anyone from high school students to the highest levels of executive responsibility. Readers will learn to visualize mental images that can be easily understood and remembered, yet can be used to explain the intricacies and interactions of virtually everything related to leadership. The concepts will help leaders improve their own performance and effectiveness, and can be used equally as well by anyone to evaluate, judge and choose leaders. The book begins with a simple explanation of the concept of three dimensions, and gradually progresses through an examination of leadership, connecting the three dimensions with the fundamental principles of Authority, Abilities, and Character. Readers are taught how to use images of trees to understand effective and not-so-effective leadership. After reading Tree-Dimensional Leadership, readers will be able to use the image of a noble tree to recall just about everything there is to know about strong leadership. In fact, readers will be reminded of leadership principles on a daily basis, every time they see the trunks, branches and roots of trees.
Book Synopsis An Epistemic Theory of Democracy by : Robert E. Goodin
Download or read book An Epistemic Theory of Democracy written by Robert E. Goodin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-26 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Democracy has many attractive features. Among them is its tendency to track the truth, at least under certain idealized assumptions. That basic result has been known since 1785, when Condorcet published his famous jury theorem. But that theorem has typically been dismissed as little more than a mathematical curiosity, with assumptions too restrictive for it to apply to the real world. In An Epistemic Theory of Democracy, Goodin and Spiekermann propose different ways of interpreting voter independence and competence to make jury theorems more generally applicable. They go on to assess a wide range of familiar political practices and alternative institutional arrangements, to determine what constellation of them might most fully exploit the truth-tracking potential of majoritarian democracy. The book closes with a discussion of how epistemic democracy might be undermined, using as case studies the Trump and Brexit campaigns.

This book was released on 2024-10-05 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autumn Wind Dancing Daystar''s roots run deep in the soil of an Indigenous reservation in Alberta, Canada. Growing up as a third-generation survivor of residential schools, her upbringing was a tapestry woven with stories of resilience and strength. With a hereditary chief for a grandfather and a father who served in WWII, she was raised with the spirit of a warrior and the wisdom of generations past. From a young age, her parents instilled in her a love for writing, a passion that lay dormant until later in life when she realized it was her true calling. She poured herself into crafting this book with every fiber of her being, driven by a desire to share her truth with the world. While her academic achievements—a BA in Political Science from the University of Lethbridge and a Master''s Degree in Leadership & Administration from Gonzaga University—have undoubtedly shaped her perspective, the ancestral wisdom passed down through generations forms the heartbeat of her message. Autumn Wind Dancing''s educational journey was marked by challenges and triumphs. Despite the absence of a high school on the reservation during her time, she pursued her studies, facing the "culture shock" of transitioning to city life for high school. Although she initially left high school in grade 12, the support and belief of a Mormon guidance counselor led her back to finish and pursue a university education. Around a decade ago, Autumn found solace and truth in the teachings of The Book of Mormon upon joining the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Its profound message resonated with her, reflecting the essence of humanity across time. As she embraced her new faith, she found a sense of belonging and purpose. Her name, Autumn Wind Dancing, carries the echoes of her Plains Cree heritage, bestowed upon her by elders with deep significance. In a symbolic act of reclaiming identity, she legally adopted her traditional Cree name under Article 17 of the Truth & Reconciliation Call To Action, honoring her roots and journey towards reconciliation. writing, a passion that lay dormant until later in life when she realized it was her true calling.
