Embarking on a journey of self-reflection and discovery, he forged a path to revolutionize his leadership and transform his career trajectory.

The six steps are manageable and incremental, designed to fit practically within the pace of busy modern life. Knowing how daunting the prospect of change can be, Doug arms readers with exercises and practices to realistically bring their foundation to life in every situation. Now, today’s leaders who feel stuck and overwhelmed finally have a blueprint for lifting their leadership to make meaningful change in their organizations and in the world.

Download or read book Blueprint with a new afterword written by Robert Plomin and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A top behavioral geneticist makes the case that DNA inherited from our parents at the moment of conception can predict our psychological strengths and weaknesses. In Blueprint, behavioral geneticist Robert Plomin describes how the DNA revolution has made DNA personal by giving us the power to predict our psychological strengths and weaknesses from birth. A century of genetic research shows that DNA differences inherited from our parents are the consistent lifelong sources of our psychological individuality—the blueprint that makes us who we are. Plomin reports that genetics explains more about the psychological differences among people than all other factors combined. Nature, not nurture, is what makes us who we are. Plomin explores the implications of these findings, drawing some provocative conclusions—among them that parenting styles don't really affect children's outcomes once genetics is taken into effect. This book offers readers a unique insider's view of the exciting synergies that came from combining genetics and psychology. The paperback edition has a new afterword by the author.

Book excerpt: Women don’t feel comfortable telling a man what they wish he knew about dating. He’s expected to know it. Unfortunately, the only time men receive specific guidelines is when they’re being told what they’re notsupposed to do. As a result, very few know what they are supposed to do! What men want is a clear blueprint. Imagine how much simpler dating would be if women could just speak their minds! Therefore, Jason Evert surveyed more than a thousand women and asked them questions such as: · How would you want a man to ask you out? · How do you not want to be asked on a date? This book reveals their surprising answers, plus: · How to know if she’s the right one · Where women don’t want to go on a first date · What word they want a man to say when he asks · When, where, and how he should ask · What she hopes the date will include · How a man can save his marriage before he’s married Dating doesn’t need to become a relic of the past. It needs to be revived. For this to happen, men need to put down their screens, look a woman in the eye, and ask her on a date. The Dating Blueprint explains how.

Download or read book Conversational Marketing written by David Cancel and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-01-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real-time conversations turn leads into customers Conversational Marketing is the definitive guide to generating better leads and closing more sales. Traditional sales and marketing methods have failed to keep pace with the way modern, internet-savvy consumers purchase goods and services. Modern messaging apps, which allow for real-time conversations and instant feedback, have transformed the way we interact in our personal and professional lives, yet most businesses still rely on 20th century technology to communicate with 21st century customers. Online forms, email inquiries, and follow-up sales calls don’t provide the immediacy that modern consumers expect. Conversational marketing and sales are part of a new methodology centered around real-time, one-on-one conversations with customers via chatbots and messaging. By allowing your business to communicate with customers in real time—when it’s most convenient for them—conversational marketing improves the customer experience, generates more leads, and helps you convert more leads into customers. Conversational Marketing pioneers David Cancel and Dave Gerhardt explain how to: Merge inbound and outbound tactics into a more productive dialog with customers Integrate conversational marketing techniques into your existing sales and marketing workflow Face-to-face meetings, phone calls, and email exchanges remain important to customer relations, but adding a layer of immediate, individual conversation drives the customer experience—and sales—sky-high.

Download or read book Global Health Security written by Lawrence O. Gostin and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With lessons learned from COVID-19, a world-leading expert on pandemic preparedness proposes a pragmatic plan urgently needed for the future of global health security. The COVID-19 pandemic revealed how unprepared the world was for such an event, as even the most sophisticated public health systems failed to cope. We must have far more investment and preparation, along with better detection, warning, and coordination within and across national boundaries. In an age of global pandemics, no country can achieve public health on its own. Health security planning is paramount. Lawrence O. Gostin has spent three decades designing resilient health systems and governance that take account of our interconnected world, as a close advisor to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and many public health agencies globally. Global Health Security addresses the borderless dangers societies now face, including infectious diseases and bioterrorism, and examines the political, environmental, and socioeconomic factors exacerbating these threats. Weak governance, ineffective health systems, and lack of preparedness are key sources of risk, and all of them came to the fore during the COVID-19 crisis, even—sometimes especially—in wealthy countries like the United States. But the solution is not just to improve national health policy, which can only react after the threat is realized at home. Gostin further proposes robust international institutions, tools for effective cross-border risk communication and action, and research programs targeting the global dimension of public health. Creating these systems will require not only sustained financial investment but also shared values of cooperation, collective responsibility, and equity. Gostin has witnessed the triumph of these values in national and international forums and has a clear plan to tackle the challenges ahead. Global Health Security therefore offers pragmatic solutions that address the failures of the recent past, while looking toward what we know is coming. Nothing could be more important to the future health of nations.

Download or read book The Conversation written by Robert Livingston and published by Currency. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • An essential tool for individuals, organizations, and communities of all sizes to jump-start dialogue on racism and bias and to transform well-intentioned statements on diversity into concrete actions—from a leading Harvard social psychologist. FINALIST FOR THE FINANCIAL TIMES AND MCKINSEY BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD • LONGLISTED FOR THE PORCHLIGHT BUSINESS BOOK AWARD “Livingston has made the important and challenging task of addressing systemic racism within an organization approachable and achievable.”—Alex Timm, co-founder and CEO, Root Insurance Company How can I become part of the solution? In the wake of the social unrest of 2020 and growing calls for racial justice, many business leaders and ordinary citizens are asking that very question. This book provides a compass for all those seeking to begin the work of anti-racism. In The Conversation, Robert Livingston addresses three simple but profound questions: What is racism? Why should everyone be more concerned about it? What can we do to eradicate it? For some, the existence of systemic racism against Black people is hard to accept because it violates the notion that the world is fair and just. But the rigid racial hierarchy created by slavery did not collapse after it was abolished, nor did it end with the civil rights era. Whether it’s the composition of a company’s leadership team or the composition of one’s neighborhood, these racial divides and disparities continue to show up in every facet of society. For Livingston, the difference between a solvable problem and a solved problem is knowledge, investment, and determination. And the goal of making organizations more diverse, equitable, and inclusive is within our capability. Livingston’s lifework is showing people how to turn difficult conversations about race into productive instances of real change. For decades he has translated science into practice for numerous organizations, including Airbnb, Deloitte, Microsoft, Under Armour, L’Oreal, and JPMorgan Chase. In The Conversation, Livingston distills this knowledge and experience into an eye-opening immersion in the science of racism and bias. Drawing on examples from pop culture and his own life experience, Livingston, with clarity and wit, explores the root causes of racism, the factors that explain why some people care about it and others do not, and the most promising paths toward profound and sustainable progress, all while inviting readers to challenge their assumptions. Social change requires social exchange. Founded on principles of psychology, sociology, management, and behavioral economics, The Conversation is a road map for uprooting entrenched biases and sharing candid, fact-based perspectives on race that will lead to increased awareness, empathy, and action.

Download or read book From Mandate to Blueprint written by Thomas Fingar and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In From Mandate to Blueprint, Thomas Fingar offers a guide for new federal government appointees faced with the complex task of rebuilding institutions and transitioning to a new administration. Synthesizing his own experience implementing the most comprehensive reforms to the national security establishment since 1947, Fingar provides crucial guidance to newly appointed officials. When Fingar was appointed the first deputy director of National Intelligence for Analysis in 2005, he discovered the challenges of establishing a new federal agency and implementing sweeping reforms of intelligence procedure and performance. The mandate required prompt action but provided no guidance on how to achieve required and desirable changes. Fingar describes how he defined and prioritized the tasks involved in building and staffing a new organization, integrating and improving the work of sixteen agencies, and contending with pressure from powerful players. For appointees without the luxury of taking command of fully staffed and well-functioning federal agencies, From Mandate to Blueprint is an informed and practical guide for the challenges ahead.

Book excerpt: The Dating Blueprint What Every Single Should Know Is the fact that you would like to learn how to have better dates but just don't know how making your life difficult... maybe even miserable? Does it seem like you've tried everything in your power to figure it out, and yet, despite your best intentions, you're still plagued with: Not knowing how to even get started Not understanding even where to start with conversation Not knowing how to identify the right topics If this describes you, then you are in luck today... First, you are NOT alone! It may seem like it sometimes, but not knowing how to get started with dating conversation is far more common than you'd think. I ought to know, because I've been in the same spot before... "Why Understanding All The Ins And Outs Of This Issue Is Crucial!" This is one area you must pay attention to... Often the most daunting element about meeting new people is the probability of having to start a conversation as opposed to simply being the listener. This can be quite a challenge for those who are not really good conversationalists. It would be in the best interest for the individual to fine tune the skill of communication with a repertoire of handy topics for conversations. Let me explain... There are several different types of scenarios that require equally different conversation topics. There are conversations that require the introduction style to start a connection and then there are conversations that require the individual to ask questions in order to get to know the other party better. And the worst part? The more you don't know the less you will succeed! Make no mistake about it... "The Costs of NOT Getting All The Info You Need Are Just Too High!" Your lack of knowledge in this area may not be your fault, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't -- or can't -- do anything to find out everything you need to know to finally be a success! The costs of continuing to repeat this pattern are just too steep... I mean, think about all of the money you're wasting because of how continuing to try things that don't work costs you money... the time you're losing due to going around in circles is also time-consuming... ... and that's not to mention the toll it's taking on your personal life, like the way the failed attempts over and over can impact personal life/relationships. So today -- in the next FEW MINUTES, in fact -- we're going to help you GET ON TRACK, and learn how you can quickly and easily get your dating conversation under control... for GOOD! That is why I've written this book... "This Book Below Will Show You Exactly What What You Need To Do To Finally Be A Success With Your Dating!" As a person just like you who has struggled with what to say on a date, I have searched high and low to find the best strategies to fix this problem and I am fully qualified and equipped to help you put an end to your frustration with trying to wade through all the info you need to know to have great dates! Being able to contribute in a seemingly knowledgeable way in an ongoing conversation without appearing authoritative or overbearing will definitely ensure those around will feel comfortable and positively drawn to the individual. Having a friendly manner and taking care not to dominate but to try an include everyone in the conversation will certainly show the individual in a good light."

Book excerpt: After an epic, two continents, two-country, multi-city battle with Adam Clark’s ruthless CTAC assassins, Sergeant Hammer’s rogue Special Forces operators, the storied Red Army Faction, homicidal Latin Kings, and brutally corrupt prison officials belonging to the violent Brotherhood of the Iron Hammer, Dexter, and his S.W.O.R.D. operatives have emerged victorious. However, Dexter’s suspicions about the level of funds and technology available to the team are confirmed when Harold Ashford orders him to have S.W.O.R.D. sever all ties with the Urban Justice Research Institute and prepare for a new mission with their true employer. In Langley, Virginia, CIA Associate Deputy Director of Operations Marc Lubet, who is also secretly a member of CTAC, knows that Dexter’s team raided CTAC headquarters in Dallas and possibly knows that his name is in the files that they downloaded. With his eyes set on becoming the Director of the CIA, he devises a plan to free Sergeant Hammer and his rogue Special Forces operators from military custody to use them to eliminate Dexter and his team and recover the files they stole. To make things even more complicated, Colonel Diamond is about to disrupt Dexter’s life by preparing extreme measures that are meant to transform him into what he needs to be to complete his new, mysterious mission. Dexter is forced to delve deep into the darkest areas of his psyche and instincts as the Colonel sends him on a perilous operation in the most dangerous place in the world, and mercilessly forces him to face his greatest fear. Dexter’s powerful employer emerges from the shadows and tasks him to attempt one of the greatest top-secret missions in modern history, which if successful, will have a lasting global impact. But first, he will have to survive the deadly trials set by his father, and the multiple unsanctioned assassination attempts by Marc Lubet’s unrelenting contract mercenaries.
