Download or read book Relentless Visionary written by Michael Berick and published by Barbera Foundation. This book was released on with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If asked to list important inventors, few remember to include Alessandro Volta. Yet, his is a household name more spoken than that of Alexander Graham Bell, the Wright Brothers, or even Thomas Edison. That’s because the terms “volt” and “voltage” can be attributed to Volta, the inventor of the “Voltaic pile,” which is recognized as the first electric battery. A product of the Age of Enlightenment—a time when ideas about reason, science, literature and liberty took center stage—Volta employed a very modern, hands-on approach to his work. Though he had no formal education, he was the first person to identify the gas known as methane, and created the first authoritative list of conducting metals. Alessandro Volta saw things not just as they were, but as what they could be. He was a disrupter, an innovator and a visionary. Above all, he was relentless. Without Volta’s hunger to create and his drive to invent and discover, we might not have electric cars, laptops, cellphones, and hearing aids today.

Book excerpt: American Musicals in Context: From the American Revolution to the 21st Century gives students a fresh look at history-based musicals, helping readers to understand the American story through one of the country's most celebrated art forms: the musical. With the hit musical Hamilton (2015) captivating audiences and reshaping the way early U.S. history is taught and written about, this book offers insight into an array of musicals that explore U.S. history. The work provides a synopsis, overview of critical and audience reception, and historical context and analysis for each of 20 musicals selected for the unique and illuminating way they present the American story on the stage. Specifically, this volume explores musicals that have centered their themes, characters, and plots on some aspect of America's complex and ever-changing history. Each in its own way helps us rediscover pivotal national crises, key political decisions, defining moral choices, unspeakable and unresolved injustices, important and untold stories, defeats suffered, victories won in the face of monumental adversity, and the sacrifices borne publicly and privately in the process of creating the American narrative, one story at a time. Students will come away from the volume armed with the critical thinking skills necessary to discern fact from fiction in U.S. history.

Download or read book Spiritual Leadership written by Thomas G. Bandy and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea that certain kinds of people gravitate toward certain kinds of leaders has been around for a long time. There are exceptions and degrees of commitment, of course. People (as individuals) are complicated and changeable. On the other hand, people (as groups) are remarkably consistent and predictable. There are patterns. The typical follower of this leader has these characteristics. The typical follower of that leader has those characteristics. Conversely, this group of people tends to look for, believe in, and listen to this kind of leader; and that group of people tends to look for, believe in, and listen to that kind of leader. There are trends. Certain kinds of people are more responsive to certain kinds of leaders. Certain kinds of leaders seem to be more empathic toward, and understanding of, certain kinds of people. They seem to know some contexts, certain needs, and distinct attitudes better than others. If you follow the career of a leader, you can anticipate who they will gather around them and where they will be most effective. Bandy shows how this is true for church leaders too and introduces ideas of different types of leaders attracting different groups of followers. Knowing your "type" will help you know who will be attracted to your leadership style.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Visionary Brand In my new book, The Visionary Brand, I explore how brands become Visionary, and how they sustain this success for generations. Through both my direct experience with these brands, along with extensive research, I have been able to define the formula for realizing Visionary status. Although I have found no "one" brand is truly the ultimate Visionary, many are close, and you discover why these great brands are missing one or many ingredients to becoming truly Visionary. What makes a brand truly Visionary? Product, Innovation, Culture, Marketing? It is a harmonious blending of product, marketing, and passionate culture. Along with a visionary who establishes and commits themselves and the brand to ageless foundational principles. What formula has sustained iconic brands such as; Apple, Nike, Adidas, and allowed them to maintain their vision and brand ETHOS for generations? How does one brand lose its premium status, while others thrive from generation to generation? The Visionary Brand explores the core of these generational companies, and how they have evolved to become visionaries. This definitive guide to preserving authentic success through identifying, protecting, and nurturing the brand's core foundational principles will be a timeless leadership resource. Both professionally and personally, serving a purpose from start-up through established category leaders. Most brands at some point lose sight of their vision or have not established their brand core ETHOS. The Visionary Brand will revitalize those who are not yet evangelizing their brand's values and principles, along with guiding those who have yet to define their foundation. To succeed, you must understand who you are, what value you are providing, where you are positioning, and how to engage with your loyal community and brand team. From aspirational, real-life scenarios, to inspirational guidance, The Visionary Brand will provide ongoing support to successfully drive your brand forward. The Visionary Brand outlines the independent elements to emulating and successfully executing this foundational strategy. * Define your vision and build a Foundational Principles platform. * Stick to your vision while capturing global market share from your competitors. * Create a continuous Pipeline of Innovation. * Establish a Culture of Passionate followers. * Engage, and build Loyalty. * Embrace the changing tide of the new age adoption curve. * Be an Artist, be yourself, and instill the courage to accomplish your Vision. There may be Visionary brands, but no one company exists as The Visionary Brand, while some have most, none have all. I sincerely hope you enjoy the book and find its content useful in your Journey to becoming Visionary! Sincerely, Bryan Smeltzer, Author, The Visionary Brand

Download or read book Realistic Visionary written by Peter R. Henriques and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Realistic Visionary the renowned George Washington scholar Peter Henriques seeks to humanize the first president without diminishing him. Henriques’s Washington makes mistakes, is sensitive to criticism, and is slow to accept blame, but he is also the greatest man of his age, a relentless pragmatist who could nonetheless envision what a free and united America could be for "millions unborn." Rather than revisiting Washington’s life in its entirety, Henriques constructs a biographical portrait by addressing the vital themes and events through which Washington the man is revealed. What emerge most clearly in Realistic Visionary are Washington’s successful struggle to channel his monumental personal ambition into public service and his unrivaled ability to turn his ambitious visions for the fledgling nation into reality.

Book excerpt: This book holds top secrets on how you can build real wealth and explains in accessible terms: The Mindset of Wealth Power Earning Investing in Real Estate Family Development Mastery “Wealth isn’t about money. All my adult life, people have asked me, ‘Robert, how did you make money? How did you become wealthy?’ I’ve shared that with them—and now with you. First of all, I want you to understand that those are two different questions. Yes, of course, money can help you create wealth. But wealth is far more than a number on your bank statement. So if wealth isn’t about money, what exactly is it? Wealth is independence. Real wealth is the ability to live your life on your own terms. It’s the freedom to switch careers, spend time with your family, improve your community, and make a difference in the world. Building Wealth will help you not only to reach your own financial goals, but also to attain this level of wealth.”—Robert Barbera
