Download or read book Managing Complexity Through Social Intelligence written by Jeremy Horne and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-07 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents solutions to problems that are total and based on thinking about how and why humans have organized themselves. It discusses how to avoid the now well-documented Holocene Extinction, propelled by climate change, wars, resource depletion, desertification, degrading knowledge quality, famine, and deterioration of societies overall. It explains why we cannot respond effectively with hedonistic, incompetent, corrupt, and anarchistic "liberal democracy" and why neither personality cult regimes can suffice. The book offers a model of an organic social structure embodying a collective consciousness of communitarianism and Platonic-style ethos. Putting an emphasis on the re-establishment of Classical Greek virtue, it offers solutions to resolve identity politics, alienation, and meritocracy. While doing so, the author opposes the "everyone is equal" ideology to govern the section of policymakers, instead circumscribing "rights" in terms of responsibilities, prioritizing education and training to carry forth the ethos of valuing truth above materialism, and developing Durkheim's social brain via a new discipline, "sociointelligence". The book goes on to explain how underpinning these elements is a comprehensive elucidation of often misunderstood words like "liberty", "freedom", "authoritarianism", and "democracy". All of these areas are arranged and combined in uniquely describing the organic society the author deems necessary to avoid human extinction. As a result, the book presents a “new organicity”, where the emerging transhumanism seeks to transcend hydrocarbon-based life with humanly-constructed life. This book will appeal to students, researchers, and scholars of political science, philosophy, and the social sciences interested in a better understanding of complexity, democratic theory, Holocene Extinction, organic thinking, and meritocratic societies.

Book excerpt: FREEDOM has its own very informative website: visit www.humancondition.com The fastest growing realization everywhere is that humanity can't go on the way it is going. Indeed, the great fear is we're entering endgame where we appear to have lost the race between self-destruction and self-discovery―the race to find the psychologically relieving understanding of our 'good and evil'-afflicted human condition. Well, astonishing as it is, this book by biologist Jeremy Griffith presents the 11th hour breakthrough biological explanation of the human condition necessary for the psychological rehabilitation and transformation of our species! The culmination of 40 years of studying and writing about our species' psychosis, FREEDOM delivers nothing less than the holy grail of insight we have needed to free ourselves from the human condition. It is, in short, as Professor Harry Prosen, a former president of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, asserts in his Introduction, 'The book that saves the world'. Griffith has been able to venture right to the bottom of the dark depths of what it is to be human and return with the fully accountable, true explanation of our seemingly imperfect lives. At long last we have the redeeming and thus transforming understanding of human behaviour! And with that explanation found all the other great outstanding scientific mysteries about our existence are now also able to be truthfully explained―of the meaning of our existence, of the origin of our unconditionally selfless moral instincts, and of why we humans became conscious when other animals haven't. Yes, the full story of life on Earth can finally be told―and all of these incredible breakthroughs and insights are presented here in this 'greatest of all books'.

This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past years, more emphasis has been given in understanding the level of cultural adjustment that individuals face on migrating to a new country. Not much attention has been given on studying repatriates. This phenomenological study deals with the experiences of 17 Indian repatriates, their emotional challenges and the various coping strategies that they had to employ in order to smoothen their repatriation process on returning to their home country. Six main themes were identified on applying thematic analysis to the individual semi-structured interviews: relief from hardships faced in the host country, stronger bond with the home country, feeling of being an alien in your home country, dynamic factors upon repatriation, emotive encounters and coming to terms with chaos associated with repatriation. Findings from the study, shows that the repatriates had faced many emotional challenges such as feeling of alienation, difficulty in adjusting to the old culture and getting a job, adjusting to the new work settings, grief on leaving the host country, idleness and laziness felt on repatriation, societal and familial pressure and financial struggles. Financial security, positive adjustment to the new work settings and the new income scale, lessons learned from the hostile experiences faced while abroad, pre-arrangements done in the home country before repatriating and reintegrating host culture into home culture served as an effective coping strategy, which eventually helped them in their successful repatriation over time.
Download or read book Emotional Intelligence and Social Intelligence in Terms of Leadership Behavior and Personal Effectiveness Among 2 Level Students written by Dr. Amarnath Reddy and published by Ashok Yakkaldevi. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective leadership is essential for an organization‘s success; hence, the ability to identify and define effective leadership is crucial. Technical expertise, superior performance, and established experience are no longer only criterion of effective leadership. Today effective leaders are defined by inspiring and motivating others, promoting a positive work environment, understanding and managing emotions, building bonds, communications, and influence, and so forth. Emotional Intelligence (EI) has an emerging track record of being linked to leadership performance. Emotional intelligence connects a leader‘s cognitive abilities with their emotional state. The ability for leaders to recognize the impact of their own emotions on their decision making is paramount if a leader is to make sound decisions based on the best interests of the organization. A leader must be able to read emotions in his/her peers and employees in order to be as effective as possible. Stodgily originated this notion with linkages of leader personality and control over emotions to employee perception of leader effectiveness. Due to the complexity of organizational change and the role emotions play in changes such as global expansion, job eliminations, leadership changes, as well as stressors of day to day responsibilities, the EI of managers and how they manage their associates is an element that leadership needs to consider while moving their organizations forward. Organizations everywhere need now to realize the benefits of primal leadership by cultivating leaders who generate the emotional resonance that lets people flourish.

Download or read book Leading the 21st Century Academic Library written by Bradford Lee Eden and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Libraries of all types have undergone significant developments in the last few decades. The rate of change in the academic library, a presence for decades now, has been increasing in the first decade of this century. It is no exaggeration to claim that it is undergoing a top to bottom redefinition. Cataloging and reference remain central to its new role, and the circulation of books is still high though declining. Among the changes is the architecture of the library: when new libraries replace old or where renovation is occurring; the role of technology at every stage and in every library application; the management of serials – selection, shelving and budgeting; and in a gradual but irrevocable move to digital forms, altered allocation of resources including larger portions of the budget diverted to preservation, not only of aging books, a theme in the latter part of the last century, but of digital files – cultural, historical, personal. In brief, the academic library is dramatically different today than it was only ten years ago. And with it, the profession of the academic librarian is also undergoing significant changes. Managing digital resources in all its forms, from telecommunications to storage and access devices, is central to its new roles. Creating, curating and preserving digital information is also key to the new librarianship. And what about services to its clients? Here also we see dramatic change, particularly but not exclusively with guiding library users in the effective use of networked knowledge. Information literacy is a key term and skill in using the new tools of digital literacy: reading and writing, searching and extracting; and the new technologies that drive social networking – the Iphone, Ipad, and Ipod and its many imitators. We can’t expect the redefined academic library to assume its final shape any time soon, if ever, but the transformation is well underway. This series: Creating the 21st-Century Academic Library, will explore this topic from a number of different perspectives. Volume 1, Visionary Leadership and Futures, will begin the discussion by examining some of the new roles and directions academic libraries are taking.
