Download or read book The Gamechanger s Playbook written by Tisha Schuller and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All of us who work in oil and gas feel the press of massive disruptions affecting our industry. An increasingly hostile - or at best skeptical - public is demanding an energy system at odds with the energy system as we know it. Nevertheless, we must face the disruptors at play, disruptors that against all logic have accelerated their impact during the pandemic and economic crisis. And turn from disrupted, to disruptor. Seize the opportunity of the moment to lead a thriving energy industry into an ever-improving energy future.The Gamechanger's Playbook is written for you - oil and gas leaders - to make sense of this moment. It looks squarely at the disruption afoot and asks: what {else} could go wrong, what might never be the same again, what power structures will collapse, and what, if anything recognizable will remain?There are themes here of general relevance to all civic leaders. But The Gamechanger's Playbook is written for our industry because we were particularly vulnerable before the pandemic, price collapse, and economic devastation. It seemed our place in the world would continue to shift from heroes to villains. Back then the path to success was unclear, and now it is wickedly so. The Gamechanger's Playbook charts a path with a keen eye to the millions of men and women who bring oil and gas to market to keep the world energized and every day create the foundation for whatever the recovery from the pandemic and economic crisis will look like. Let's go build the energy future.

Download or read book The Way We re Working Isn t Working written by Tony Schwartz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-18 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was previously titled, Be Excellent at Anything. The Way We're Working Isn't Working is one of those rare books with the power to profoundly transform the way we work and live. Demand is exceeding our capacity. The ethic of "more, bigger, faster" exacts a series of silent but pernicious costs at work, undermining our energy, focus, creativity, and passion. Nearly 75 percent of employees around the world feel disengaged at work every day. The Way We're Working Isn't Working offers a groundbreaking approach to reenergizing our lives so we’re both more satisfied and more productive—on the job and off. By integrating multidisciplinary findings from the science of high performance, Tony Schwartz, coauthor of the #1 bestselling The Power of Full Engagement, makes a persuasive case that we’re neglecting the four core needs that energize great performance: sustainability (physical); security (emotional); self-expression (mental); and significance (spiritual). Rather than running like computers at high speeds for long periods, we’re at our best when we pulse rhythmically between expending and regularly renewing energy across each of our four needs. Organizations undermine sustainable high performance by forever seeking to get more out of their people. Instead they should seek systematically to meet their four core needs so they’re freed, fueled, and inspired to bring the best of themselves to work every day. Drawing on extensive work with an extra-ordinary range of organizations, among them Google, Ford, Sony, Ernst & Young, Shell, IBM, the Los Angeles Police Department, and the Cleveland Clinic, Schwartz creates a road map for a new way of working. At the individual level, he explains how we can build specific rituals into our daily schedules to balance intense effort with regular renewal; offset emotionally draining experiences with practices that fuel resilience; move between a narrow focus on urgent demands and more strategic, creative thinking; and balance a short-term focus on immediate results with a values-driven commitment to serving the greater good. At the organizational level, he outlines new policies, practices, and cultural messages that Schwartz’s client companies have adopted. The Way We're Working Isn't Working offers individuals, leaders, and organizations a highly practical, proven set of strategies to better manage the relentlessly rising demands we all face in an increasingly complex world.

Download or read book Joan Garry s Guide to Nonprofit Leadership written by Joan Garry and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-03-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonprofit leadership is messy Nonprofits leaders are optimistic by nature. They believe with time, energy, smarts, strategy and sheer will, they can change the world. But as staff or board leader, you know nonprofits present unique challenges. Too many cooks, not enough money, an abundance of passion. It’s enough to make you feel overwhelmed and alone. The people you help need you to be successful. But there are so many obstacles: a micromanaging board that doesn’t understand its true role; insufficient fundraising and donors who make unreasonable demands; unclear and inconsistent messaging and marketing; a leader who’s a star in her sector but a difficult boss… And yet, many nonprofits do thrive. Joan Garry’s Guide to Nonprofit Leadership will show you how to do just that. Funny, honest, intensely actionable, and based on her decades of experience, this is the book Joan Garry wishes she had when she led GLAAD out of a financial crisis in 1997. Joan will teach you how to: Build a powerhouse board Create an impressive and sustainable fundraising program Become seen as a ‘workplace of choice’ Be a compelling public face of your nonprofit This book will renew your passion for your mission and organization, and help you make a bigger difference in the world.

The language in the book is deliberately kept reader-friendly, allowing easy accessibility and grasp of knowledge. In the contemporary era, the predominance of the internet and advanced technology have increased the operational value of tour operators and travel agencies. Increased domestic and international visits to India led to an increased dependence on travel intermediaries. Also, the lower investment and attractive returns enticed many people to start their own travel agencies. The book provides a comprehensive view of travel agencies' and tour operators' businesses in the tourism sector. Each topic is discussed and supported by examples to provide students with a better understanding. The book proposes to provide both practical and theoretical knowledge about the tourism industly. It also imparts basic knowledge of contemporary topics like online travel agencies, e-visa, the significance of travel insurance in the post-COVID-19 phase and entrepreneurship in the tourism trade. This book aims to impart knowledge about the travel intermediaries' significance, operating mechanisms, and activities. The wide array of activities carried out by travel agents and tour operators covers itinerary planning, package design, helping travellers choose a destination, costing the package, marketing the product, operating the booking software (GDS), and so on. This book will help students learn about the significance of travel intermediaries in facilitating travellers in different ways throughout their vacations. Each chapter has been divided into the following parts: (a) lntrodudion: It introduces you to the unit's topic and learning objectives. (b) Relevant Knowledge: This part of the unit provides you with the relevant information on the topics covered. The knowledge developed through this part will enable the students to perform certain activities listed at the end of each topic. (c) Assignment: The various questions included in this part will help the students to check their understanding of the topics learned. Sincere attempts have been made to keep the language of the book simple. The concepts have also been explained through pictorial illustrations wherever necessary. This will allow the students to have a swift reading of the book, making the content of the book easy to understand. We also hope that this book will boost the students' morale and enormously benefit the teachers. Constructive suggestions for the improvement of the book are most welcome. The authors would be glad to read the feedback and implement it in upcoming books. -Authors
