Download or read book The Most Dangerous Enemy written by Stephen Bungay and published by Aurum. This book was released on 2010-09-25 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen Bungay’s magisterial history is acclaimed as the account of the Battle of Britain. Unrivalled for its synthesis of all previous historical accounts, for the quality of its strategic analysis and its truly compulsive narrative, this is a book ultimately distinguished by its conclusions – that it was the British in the Battle who displayed all the virtues of efficiency, organisation and even ruthlessness we habitually attribute to the Germans, and they who fell short in their amateurism, ill-preparedness, poor engineering and even in their old-fashioned notions of gallantry. An engrossing read for the military scholar and the general reader alike, this is a classic of military history that looks beyond the mythology, to explore all the tragedy and comedy; the brutality and compassion of war.

Download or read book The Heretics Guide to Management written by Paul Culmsee and published by . This book was released on 2016-08-22 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Management by definition, aims to reduce ambiguity and provide clarity. So it is one of the great ironies of modern corporate life that management techniques often end up doing the opposite: increasing ambiguity rather than reducing it.This new book looks at the powerful, yet hidden force of ambiguity and it effect in organizations. Ambiguity is a primal force that drives much of our behaviour. It is typically viewed negatively - something to be avoided or to be controlled. The truth, however, is that it is a force that can be used in positive ways too. The Force that gave the Dark Side their power in the Star Wars movies was harnessed by the Jedi in positive ways. Similarly, this new management book shows how ambiguous situations, so common in the corporate world, are processed by the brain, and the behaviours that often arise as a consequence. More importantly, though, it shows you how to harness that ambiguity to achieve outstanding results.
