Download or read book My Expectations Nearly Killed My Dream written by Andries J. Jacobs and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operating in a start-up and entrepreneurial environment that is innovative, fast-paced, and requires multitasking brings about the realization that a demonstrable gap exists between what leadership expects of consultants and how they, in reality, work, referred to as the expectation-reality gap (ERG). Whether you have an idea, are ready to initiate, or are building your consulting organization, you will benefit from the content of this book. Once your leadership and consultants grasp the themes, writes Jacobs, they will respond with urgency to become key players and gain significant momentum for your start-up, and consulting business. Jacobs masterfully applied the input-process-output (IPO) model and descriptive attributes to demonstrate and analyze the ERG, and guide readers to gain insight into why the expectation-reality gap occurs, and what inadequacies might exist in terms of culture, capability, and leadership. Jacobs provides for each theme, a checklist of questions to ascertain whether your organization employs practices to avoid or narrow the ERG. Realizing the ERG themes exist and understanding the context is a powerful instrument. For hiring teams during the recruitment process; client-engagement leaders when engaging consultants in business development activities; project leaders in assigning and mentoring team members; executive management in starting, leading, and managing consulting organizations; and for individual consultants understanding what leaders expect. My Expectations Nearly Killed My Dream is the checklist methodology every entrepreneur needs to build a non-conventional business, an influential culture, and talent that can sustain an environment characterized by client value, speed, and adaptability.
Download or read book Obsessed by Art written by Francesca Cernia Slovin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2006-11-28 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aby Warburg (1896-1929) was the scion of M. M. Warburg & CO the German Jewish banking empire. At thirteen, he made a pact with the youngest brother, by which he granted his birthright in exchange for the promise that the sibling would purchase for him every book he would desire. It is thus that the famous Warburg Library was born. During a long trip in Italy, as a young man, Warburg falls in love with Italian Renaissance and starts to accumulate all related texts. Once back home, in Hamburg, he further develops the nucleus of the library with volumes concerning unique and original disciplines, from Magic to Astrology, from Alchemy to Primitive Civilizations. Placed in a newly built, perfectly round library Warburg organizes the order of the volumes following his theory of "migration of symbols". Thanks to this visionary and revolutionary approach, the History of Art acquires a new dimension and a new tool of interpretation, through what would ultimately be called Iconology. With the explosion of the First World War, Warburg's mental equilibrium collapses and he is hospitalized in a Swiss psychiatric institution where he will remain for more than ten years. It is from here, that the fascinating narrative of Francesca Cernia Slovin starts, looking back at Aby's life in a compelling reconstruction as a flash back. The second part of the book continues when Warburg's disciple, Fritz Saxl, takes his place as director of what had become the famous Warburg Institute. After Aby's death, with the rise of Hitler, the Nazis threaten to burn down the library. On the night of December 12, 1933, with the help of a few assistants, Saxl with an heroic effort transported the entire library of over a hundred thousand volumes onto two small steamships and flees to London. Thanks to these few brave men and the hospitality of Lord Courtauld, today the Warburg Institute is a holy place of pilgrimage for every Art historian. With more than three hundred thousand titles and two hundred thousand periodicals the library contains forty percent of items missing at the British Library.
Download or read book Spaghetti Westerns written by Aliza S. Wong and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-12-15 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the silent days of cinema, Westerns have been one of the most popular genres, not just in the United States but around the world. International filmmakers have been so taken by westerns that many directors have produced versions of their own, despite lacking access to the American West. Nowhere has the Western been more embraced outside of the United States than Italy. In the 1960s, as Hollywood heroes like John Wayne and Randolph Scott were aging, Italian filmmakers were revitalizing the western, securing younger American actors for their productions and also making stars of homegrown talent. Movies directed and produced by Italians have been branded “spaghetti westerns”—a genre that boastsseveral hundred films. In Spaghetti Westerns: A Viewer’s Guide, Aliza S. Wong identifies the most significant westerns all’italiana produced as well as the individuals who significantly contributed to the genre. The author profiles such American actors as Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, and Lee Van Cleef; composers including Ennio Morricone and Carlo Rustichelli; and, of course, directors like Sergio Corbucci and Sergio Leone. The most memorable movies of the genre are also examined, includingCompañeros, Django; A Fistful of Dollars; The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly; and They Call Me Trinity. In addition to citing pivotal films and filmmakers, this volume also highlights other relevant aspects of the genre, including popular shooting locations, subgenres like the Zapata western, and the films and filmmakers who were inspired by the spaghetti western, including Quentin Tarantino, Richard Rodriguez, and Takashi Miike. An introduction to a unique homage of American cinema, Spaghetti Westerns: A Viewer’s Guide allows fans and scholars alike to learn more about a genre that continues to fascinate audiences.

Book excerpt: “ALL OF HEAVEN HOLDS ITS BREATH WAITING ON YOUR DECISION TO LIVE OUTRAGEOUSLY IN FAITH. TO BE UNCOMPROMISING TO WHATEVER GOD CALLS YOU TO DO...” The word CRAZY refers to passionate, zealous and devoted individuals. They inspire followers, challenge systems of thinking and bring a revolution. Jesus was in every sense of the word, CRAZY. He set a new standard of living and became a revolutionary; changing the world forever. Too many believers today are spiritually apathetic to things of God. They have no power, influence or fruitfulness of any significant amount. In a time of superficial faith the time has come for a CRAZY Revolution. To make a stand in the faith no matter the cost. To turn over tables in the face of hypocrisy. And to live the Christian faith radically. This is the Jesus way. What does it look like to be a committed Christian? How are we to live in holiness in a dark and fallen world? And how are we to stay true to Jesus’ call in taking up our cross and following Him? The answers will surprise you. This book will cover the essential qualities of what it means to be a faithful follower of Christ. It will explore the key elements of what are to be our priorities and how to finish our race strong. A revolution is rising in on the horizon of a strong and faithful army, living outrageously in faith. Much is at stake and all of heaven is awaiting your decision. Because at the end of the day, as you will soon find, you’ll be crazy not to be CRAZY...
