Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today’s fast-paced, unprecedented, and unpredictable economy, many executives simply don’t know what to do. Conventional methods—which many never entirely be understood in the first place—often don’t work during economic upheaval. Executives, especially CEOs, need something better. They need a guide that identifies the roadblocks and points out the landmines. In her more than 30 years of working with hundreds of executives, Dr. Linda Henman has observed the critical elements of success, both for the new leader and the one who aspires to the next level of success. In Landing in the Executive Chair, you’ll learn how to: Avoid the pitfalls and identify a clear plan for personal and organizational success. Leverage the first months in a new executive position—that time of transition that promises opportunity and challenge, but also often brings a period of great vulnerability. Create a competitive advantage, set the right tone, make effective decisions, keep talent inside your doors, and establish credibility—all while navigating unfamiliar and turbulent waters. As organizations expand and grow, the skills that led to success often won’t sustain further development in a more complex, high-stakes environment. Present and future executives need more. They need Landing in the Executive Chair.

They need a roadmap to success. Challenge the Ordinary will help managers and executives at all levels: Avoid the traps of traditional strategy formulation and decision making.

Download or read book Risky Business written by Linda Henman and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-05-16 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To position an organization for growth, you cannot shy away from disruptive, high-stakes, pivotal decisions about the future. So why DO you? Why do so many smart leaders cringe when they face disruption? Most people think of disruption as negative while some leaders make disruption their goal. Organizational Psychologist Dr. Linda Henman considers both approaches preventable and costly mistakes. The surprising truth about improving anything you do—personally, professionally, publicly, or privately—lies at the intersection of your ability to think abstractly and your willingness to take prudent risks. Drawing on a rich trove of original, cutting-edge research and four decades’ worth of consulting, Henman knows what it takes to succeed in the C-suite. She dispels myths by presenting a clear and compelling summary of what she has observed—and in many cases, helped to create. Her in-the-trenches experiences spurred her to arrive at this conclusion: Myths about leadership have blinded us to what leaders really do. Many leaders believe in the concept of creative disruption but remain skeptical about trusting it. Jam-packed with big ideas, Risky Business arrives just in time—a rare book that will transform the way you think about risk, change the way you view disruption, and help you understand what you must do to think strategically, to grow dramatically, and to do it quickly. Inspiring and revelatory, filled with story-driven narratives and practical takeaways, Risky Business brings together decades of counterintuitive research to shed light on how you can effect change.
Download or read book The Graf Zeppelin written by Paul Cozens and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2017-06-28 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a historical fiction. This means that the characters are fictional as are their exploits, but the story line is based on historical fact. Most people are unaware that during WWII, Nazi Germany had an operational aircraft carrier, the Graf Zeppelin. Had the Graf Zeppelin sortied with Bismarck, Tirpitz, and Prinz Eugen into the Atlantic in 1939, the entire outcome of the war could have been changed. However, due to an ongoing feud between Hermann Gring and Admiral Erich Raeder, the carrier was not allowed aircraft and she sat out the war as an ineffective white elephant. Gnther Schmidt is assigned the task of obtaining intelligence on the US Navy, specifically about carrier aviation. He places a young frulein, Karen Berr, in a girls college in Pensacola, Florida, where she meets a naval pilot, LTJG John Parker and falls in love, subsequently marrying him. Hermann Gring hates the Kriegsmarine with a passion, and Gnther embarrasses him in front of Hitler, thus becoming a personal enemy. Gnther is targeted by Gring for assassination. Gring, who is in charge of aircraft production, makes the decision to prevent the Kriegsmarine from having navalized aircraft. Gnther is tasked with training pilots for the German Navy in landing techniques for carriers. He sets up a clandestine training facility at Greifswald on the Baltic, flying brightly colored aircraft to misdirect Grings goons. Subsequently, Gnther becomes involved in advising German naval designers in the development of an aircraft carrier. Gring tries to have Gnther assassinated but fails, only killing his wife, Gertrude. Gring hosts a big military bash and brags to Japans ambassador, Baron Hiroshi Oshima, about Germanys plan for world conquest. Oshima sends a report via the oceanic cable to Japan, unaware that the American Navy has broken the diplomatic code and are reading these messages. The transcripts are codenamed Magic. The Spanish Civil War erupts, giving Gnther and his newly trained pilots on-the-job training. Gnther helps Messerschmitt in developing the Bf 109T naval fighter and a dive bomber, the Ju 87 G. Gring tries again to assassinate Gnther and fails. Gnther, using misdirection, manages to have the naval aircraft manufactured and hidden from Gring. World War II erupts and Gnther sails into combat on the Graf Zeppelin as her CAG when she sorties with Tirpitz, Bismarck, and Prinz Eugen. German dive bombers from the Graf Zeppelin sink two British cruisers in the Denmark Strait and assist in sinking the Hood and Prince of Wales. The German flotilla is attacked by British torpedo airplanes, which loses all but one due to the intervention of the Bf 109T fighters. Tirpitz is hit by several torpedoes and must retire. The American Coast Guard Cutter, Modoc, is attacked by German dive bombers, thus bringing America into the war. The German flotilla joins up with Gneisenau and Scharnhrst to begin decimating the convoys. An American flotilla, including Washington and Ranger, intervenes. The resulting battle ends with the destruction of the German flotilla. Gnther is captured by the Americans.

Book Synopsis Apartheid's Festival by : Leslie Witz
Download or read book Apartheid's Festival written by Leslie Witz and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2003-10-06 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apartheid's Festival highlights the conflicts and debates that surrounded the 1952 celebration of the 300th anniversary of the landing of Jan Van Riebeeck and the founding of Cape Town, South Africa. Taking place at the height of the apartheid era, the festival was viewed by many as an opportunity for the government to promote its nationalist, separatist agenda in grand fashion. Leslie Witz's fine-grained examination of newspapers, brochures, pamphlets, and advertising materials reveals the expectations of the festival planners as well as how the festival was engineered, historical figures were reconstructed, and the ANC and other anti-apartheid organizations mounted opposition to it. While laying open the darker motives of the apartheid regime, Witz shows that the production of local history is part of a global process forged by the struggle between colonialism and resistance. Readers interested in South Africa, representations of nationalism, and the making of public history will find Apartheid's Festival to be an important study of a society in transition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roger Fraser, the ever optimistic but perpetually put upon investment banking stock analyst-trouble shooter and occasional rugby player has more work and domestic issues to challenge his sensibilities. He skilfully manoeuvres from one demanding situation to the next, barely managing to extinguish the callous flames of fate seeming to constantly blight his endeavours and bite at his flesh. During his excursions into shocking social scandals and battling with egotistical megalomaniacs, he endlessly verges on disaster, but somehow always manages to survive. Roger pokes irreverent fun at the new Establishment, single-handedly takes on female dragons, prevails against rampaging supermarket shoppers and trades wisecracks with a Brummy vicar, but invariably finds himself tethered to the doghouse, singing the blues.

We meet Bennie at the melancholy nadir of his adult life - divorced, struggling to connect with his nine-year-old son, listening to a washed-up band in the basement of a suburban house.
