Download or read book On Being Awesome written by Nick Riggle and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lively treatise, pro-skater-turned-philosopher Nick Riggle presents a theory of awesomeness (and its opposite, suckiness) that’s both sharply illuminating and more timely than ever “Nick Riggle’s fun book is ‘awesome’ by its own definition. But don’t miss its profound ambition, which is to show how philosophy unearths the structure of ordinary language, defines the meaning of life in routine business, and poses the question of how best to live.” —Aaron James, author of Assholes: A Theory We all know people who are awesome and people who suck, but what do we really mean by these terms? Have you ever been chill or game? Do you rock or rule? If so, then you’re tapped into the ethics of awesomeness. Awesome people excel at creating social openings that encourage expressions of individuality and create community. And if you’re a cheapskate, self-promoter, killjoy, or douchebag, you’re the type of person who shuts social openings down. Put more simply: You suck. From street art to folk singers, Proust to the great etiquette writer Emily Post, President Obama to former Los Angeles Dodger Glenn Burke, Riggle draws on pop culture, politics, history, and sports to explore the origins of awesome, and delves into the nuances of what it means to suck and why it’s so important to strive for awesomeness. An accessible and entertaining lens for navigating the ethics of our time, On Being Awesome provides a new and inspiring framework for understanding ourselves and creating meaningful connections in our everyday lives.

Download or read book The Rough Guide to Awesome Leadership written by Ivan Palomino and published by Ivan Palomino. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book for leaders and leaders-to-be that feel that they can create great impact in their organization through the understanding of human psychology. The authors are not academics. We say it is as it is - plain, blunt, and simple. This book is for people who had enough of knowing what it takes to change but simply find it hard to be motivated and consistent with actions to be an awesome leader. It is for people who believe that life is simply about trying and sometimes failing and that’s ok, as long as there is progress. Each chapter describes insights and actions that defines leadership in the way that leaders can thrive as a person and inspire others. In our work with executive leaders, we have found some commonalities in leaders that were successful in escaping the rat race for validation and lead teams to superior heights: 1. They take decisions based on what makes their teams flourish 2. They have developed a process of regular practice of micro-actions to increase their capacity to manage their interactions with their teams 3. They have developed a mindset where they trust their own capabilities to learn as well as the capabilities of their teams This also means that they let go of existing paradigms on what motivates people, and they even went rogue with the practice of more human centric values. This book is not about leadership frameworks. Instead, we wanted to share a list of ideas that can ignite curiosity and inspire you for some quick action.To come with these ideas, we have combined our experience in the field of leadership development with a couple of applications of behavioral science. Many organizations are craving to create solid human centric cultures and build a new generation of leaders that are prepared to make a human work culture sustainable. WHY IT MATTERS TO BE AN AWESOME LEADER AND WHY IT CAN SOMETIMES BE PAINFUL? Like many people in leadership positions, you have probably sweated a lot to make it there – long hours of work to prove your commitment, some extra work to prepare for presentations to show that you have brains to solve problems, socializing with colleagues (the ones you like and the ones you don’t), enduring some amazing and some painful bosses, learning and repeating new buzzwords, awkward discussions about when you will be promoted. It seems like a never-ending story to prove that you are cut out for the new position. Now that you are part of the sacred circle, the question is - when does the painful aim to prove yourself ends? Some will tell you that it never ends. We believe that there is a way to make it less painful for you and others.
Download or read book Advances in Cognitive Sociolinguistics written by Dirk Geeraerts and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2010 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book brings together ten studies into the social and conceptual aspects of language-internal variation. All contributions rely on a firm empirical basis in the form of advanced corpus-based techniques, experimenntal methods and survey-based research, or a combination of these. In the book, methods are sought that may adequately unravel the complex and multivariate dimensions intervening in the interplay between conceptual meaning and variationist factors. In terms of its descriptive scope, the volume covers three main areas: lexical and lexical-semantic variation, constructional variation, and research on lectal attitudes and acquisition. It thus illustrates how Cognitive Sociolinguistics studies both the variation of meaning, and the meaning of variation.
