Book excerpt: If you have been tapped on the shoulder to take on a formal or informal physician, medical, healthcare or technical field leadership role, and are wondering "How do I do this?", this book is here to help. In a creative yet straightforward fashion, Dr. Malcolm Ogborn provides a valuable and insightful resource that can support professionals, particularly physicians, who find themselves thrust into leadership roles requiring knowledge and skills that have not been part of their professional training. Sudden Leadership follows the early leadership journeys of two fictitious physicians. For each scenario in which the characters find themselves, Dr. Ogborn reviews relevant, evidence-based literature and offers pragmatic and field-tested approaches that allow new professional leaders to face their challenges with confidence. Topics include • defining your leadership, including knowing when to take a leadership role and when to turn it down • attracting and, more importantly, engaging followers and knowing when to lead by being a good follower • motivating and managing others doing the work and mastering the skills of delegation • running meetings that actually work rather than get in the way of work • handling tough conversations skilfully to achieve progress not confrontation • strong team leadership by embracing the natural development of teams and skillfully adapting your leadership style to changing team needs • mastering time allocation by understanding how you think about time, how you make time related decisions, and how you hold your self accountable for good use of your time. • successfully managing conflict as an inevitable and surprisingly productive part of human experience. • preventing burnout by recognizing it as an occupational phenomenon, not a mental illness • leading change or system improvement through clear targeting, familiarity with the determinants of change acceptance, well-planned and skilled advocacy and effective recruitment of a change team and allies Engaging and educational, Sudden Leadership will make a vital addition to any professional's library.

Download or read book Why Should Anyone Be Led by You written by Robert Goffee and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2006-02-07 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too many companies are managed not by leaders, but by mere role players and faceless bureaucrats. What does it take to be a real leader—one who is confident in who she is and what she stands for, and who truly inspires people to achieve extraordinary results? Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones argue that leaders don’t become great by aspiring to a list of universal character traits. Rather, effective leaders are authentic: they deploy individual strengths to engage followers’ hearts, minds, and souls. They are skillful at consistently being themselves, even as they alter their behaviors to respond effectively in changing contexts. In this lively and practical book, Goffee and Jones draw from extensive research to reveal how to hone and deploy one’s unique leadership assets while managing the inherent tensions at the heart of successful leadership: showing emotion and withholding it, getting close to followers while keeping distance, and maintaining individuality while “conforming enough.” Underscoring the social nature of leadership, the book also explores how leaders can remain attuned to the needs and expectations of followers. Why Should Anyone Be Led By You? will forever change how we view, develop, and practice the art of leadership, wherever we live and work.

Download or read book Thebaid Volume II written by P. Papinius Statius and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2004-02-17 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Statius published his Thebaid in the last decade of the first century. This epic recounting the struggle between the two sons of Oedipus for the kingship of Thebes is his masterpiece, a stirring exploration of the passions of civil war. The extant portion of his unfinished Achilleid is strikingly different in tone: this second epic begins as a charming account of Achilles' life. Statius was raised in the Greek cultural milieu of the Bay of Naples, and his Greek literary education is reflected in his poetry. The political realities of Rome in the first century are also evident in the Thebaid, in representations of authoritarian power and the drive for domination. This two-volume edition of the epics, a freshly edited Latin text facing a graceful translation, completes D. R. Shackleton Bailey's new Loeb Classical Library edition of Statius. Kathleen M. Coleman contributed an essay on recent scholarship on the two epics.

Book excerpt: This isn't your grandma's King Arthur story. Nate Arturi isn't a knight in shining armor. He sure as hell isn't a king. And the last time someone called him heroic, it was because he fetched his neighbor's corgi off the roof. But when an ancient alien beacon awakens on Earth, sounding the call to enemies near and far, the Merlin is left with little choice. Any Knight in a Doomsday, or so the saying goes. Now, ambushed by hulking alien brutes and tricked into accepting a foul-mouthed sword from a homeless wizard, Nate suddenly finds his senior year at Penn State slipping out of hand. But when an armada of butt-ugly troglodans and exotic gorgon killers starts raining from the sky, one thing becomes inescapably clear: Unless he mans up and gets that damned beacon off of his planet, everything he knows is about to be burned to a crisp.
