Download or read book Seeing Around Corners written by Rita Gunther McGrath and published by Harper Business. This book was released on 2019 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first prescriptive, innovative guide to seeing inflection points before they happen--and how to harness these disruptive influences to give your company a strategic advantage. Paradigmatic shifts in the business landscape, known as inflection points, can either create new, entrepreneurial opportunities (see Amazon and Netflix) or they can lead to devastating consequences (e.g., Blockbuster and Toys R Us). Only those leaders who can "see around corners"-that is, spot the disruptive inflection points developing before they hit-are poised to succeed in this market. Columbia Business School Professor and corporate consultant Rita McGrath contends that inflection points, though they may seem sudden, are not random. Every seemingly overnight shift is the final stage of a process that has been subtly building for some time. Armed with the right strategies and tools, smart businesses can see these inflection points coming and use them to gain a competitive advantage. Seeing Around Corners is the first hands-on guide to anticipating, understanding, and capitalizing on the inflection points shaping the marketplace.
Download or read book The Power of the Other written by Henry Cloud and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expert on the psychology of leadership and the bestselling author of Integrity, Necessary Endings, and Boundaries For Leaders identifies the critical ingredient for personal and professional wellbeing. Most leadership coaching focuses on helping leaders build their skills and knowledge and close performance gaps. These are necessary, but not sufficient. Using evidence from neuroscience and his work with leaders, Dr. Henry Cloud shows that the best performers draw on another vital resource: personal and professional relationships that fuel growth and help them surpass current limits. Popular wisdom suggests that we should not allow others to have power over us, but the reality is that they do, for better or for worse. Consider the boss who diminishes you through cutting remarks versus one who challenges you to get better. Or the colleague who always seeks the limelight versus the one who gives you the confidence to finish a difficult project. Or the spouse who is honest and supportive versus the one who resents your success. No matter how talented, intelligent, or experienced, the greatest leaders share one commonality: the power of the others in their lives. Combining engaging case studies, persuasive findings from cutting-edge brain research, and examples from his consulting practice, Dr. Cloud argues that whether you’re a Navy SEAL or a corporate executive, outstanding performance depends on having the right kind of connections to fuel personal growth and minimize toxic associations and their effects. Presenting a dynamic model of the impact these different kinds of connections produce, Dr. Cloud shows readers how to get more from themselves by drawing on the strength and expertise of others. You don’t have a choice whether or not others have power in your life, but you can choose what kinds of relationships you want.
Download or read book Four Corners written by Kira Salak and published by ReadHowYouWant. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the route taken by British explorer Ivan Champion in 1927, and amid breathtaking landscapes and wildlife, Salak traveled across this remote Pacific island - often called the last frontier of adventure travel - by dugout canoe and on foot. Along the way, she stayed in a village where cannibals m was still practiced behind the backs of the missionaries, met the leader of the OPM - the separatist guerrilla movement opposing the Indonesian occupation of Western New Guinea - and undertook an epic trek through the jungle. The New York Times said ''Kira Salak is tough, a real - life Lara Croft.'' And Edward Marriott, proclaimed Four Corners to be ''A travel book that transcends the genre?It is, like all the best travel narratives, a resonant interior journey, and offers wisdom for our times.''
Download or read book Minimum Number of Timing Signoff Corners written by Alexander Tetelbaum and published by Alexander Tetelbaum. This book was released on 2024-05-09 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book outlines a brand-new approach of how to do timing signoff of complex microchips with the minimum number of corners. It is the first book in my planned series of books on global and local on-chip variations (OCV) and statistical, Monte-Carlo-based methods of timing signoff. I have spent more than 7 years on developing those new methods and now will share my results with the electronic design community. Each book will have a short version as a E-book that will be followed by a paperback/cover full version book with all important details. The books are mainly targeting microchip designers and software engineers in Electronic Design Automation (EDA) companies as well as companies that design and/or manufacture microchips. The number of timing signoff corners exponentially grows and makes microchip design very complex, time consuming, or even impossible to close timing. Additionally, there is a toll on microchip performance due to conservatism, which increases with the corner number. All delay, dimension, and other absolute values are scaled (or normalized) and do not represent real values/parameters of any particular technology node or design. Initially, I focus on factors impacting the corner number and how to find the minimum number of traditional Power, Voltage, Temperature (PVT), and Resistance, Capacitance (RC) corners. Then, I outline a break-through method with the absolute minimum of the corner number where instead of PVT/RC corners I introduce 4 min/max timing delay corners (so-called slack corners). Then, I discuss a new approach on how to design for the maximum profit by setting a proper target for the timing yield Y during timing signoff. Finally, I discuss possible enhancements in signoff paradigms, methods, and statistical STA tools. The importance of these pseudo- and fully statistical Monte Carlo-based post-STA methods is to study OCV variations in detail and justify all OCV derates for STA tools no matter whether the PVT/RC corners signoff is or the 4-slack corners is used.
