Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone makes mistakes. It's how you respond to those mistakes that'll determine whether you succeed or fail in the long term. Your ability to learn from failures will decide whether you repeat the same errors or successfully use them as building blocks to move ahead.

Download or read book Think Twice written by Michael J. Mauboussin and published by Harvard Business Review Press. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No matter your field, industry, or specialty, as a leader you make a series of crucial decisions every single day. And the harsh truth is that the majority of decisions—no matter how good the intentions behind them—are mismanaged, resulting in a huge toll on organizations, the people they employ, and even the people they serve. So why is it so hard to make sound decisions? In Think Twice, now in paperback, Michael Mauboussin argues that we often fall victim to simplified mental routines that prevent us from coping with the complex realities inherent in important judgment calls. Yet these cognitive errors are preventable. In this engaging book, Mauboussin shows us how to recognize and avoid common mental missteps. These include misunderstanding cause-and-effect linkages, not considering enough alternative possibilities in making a decision, and relying too much on experts. Through vivid stories, the author presents memorable rules for avoiding each error and explains how to recognize when you should “think twice”—questioning your reasoning and adopting decision-making strategies that are far more effective, even if they seem counterintuitive. Armed with this awareness, you'll soon begin making sounder judgment calls that benefit (rather than hurt) your organization.

Download or read book Embracing Failure Your Key to Success written by Lennox Cornwall and published by One Truth Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-28 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embracing Failure: Your Key to Success shows how failure is truly an opportunity, and not the final nail in your coffin of hope. In this new perspective, the analysis of what constitutes success aligns perfectly with Earl Nightingale's proposition that success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal. Using this truer, more worthwhile meaning for failure allows you to pursue success to its limits. The author acknowledges that there is nothing new to creating success: a worthy ideal, vision, plans, hard work, building an effective team, persistence and character are certainly still required, and Embracing Failure: Your Key to Success is explicit about these. But, like the golfer who changes his grip before winning a dearly sought after first Major championship, sometimes you need to see things a little differently to finally make that yearned for breakthrough to your own success. Herein lies the true value of the material contained in Embracing Failure: Your Key to Success. Supporting the empowering acronym—failure as a Fruitful And Informative Lesson Urging Renewed Effort—the author cleverly uses illustrations and his own poetry before each chapter. These make for an enlightening preview of the coming chapter. The effect on your attention is as much entertaining as it is illuminating, ensuring you get the chapter’s intended message.

Download or read book Harnessing Renewable Energy in Electric Power Systems written by Boaz Moselle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-09-23 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting its reliance on fossil fuels, the electric power industry produces the majority of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. The need for a revolution in the industry becomes further apparent given that 'decarbonization' means an increasing electrification of other sectors of the economy in particular, through a switch from gasoline to electric vehicles. Of the options for producing electric power without significant greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy is most attractive to policymakers, as it promises increased national self-reliance on energy supplies and the creation of new industries and jobs, without the safety and political concerns of nuclear power or the unproven technology of carbon capture and storage. Drawing on both economic theory and the experiences of the United States and EU member states, Harnessing Renewable Energy addresses the key questions surrounding renewable energy policies. How appropriate is the focus on renewable power as a primary tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions? If renewable energy is given specific support, what form should that support take? What are the implications for power markets if renewable generation is widely adopted? Thorough and well-evidenced, this book will be of interest to a broad range of policymakers, the electric power industry, and economists who study energy and environmental issues.
