This is a story about Christopher Reeve, the man who dared to defy gravity not in blockbuster sequences, but in the face of unimaginable adversity. Imagine the fall. The shatter of vertebrae, the silence of a paralyzed body. This was Reeve's reality, a Superman stripped of his superpowers, left to navigate a world redefined by the limitations of a wheelchair. Yet, from the ashes of tragedy rose a hero of a different kind. This is not a biography, it's a tapestry. Threads of love intertwine with the struggles of fatherhood, the agony of loss, and the unwavering spirit of a man who refused to be defined by his disability. Witness the tender romance that bloomed amidst a rising career, the heartbreak of a broken marriage, and the courage it took to rebuild a life shattered by a single misstep. But this is not just a story of personal turmoil. It's a battle cry for hope, a testament to the power of the human spirit. Reeve's journey from hospital beds to the halls of Congress became a beacon for millions battling their own demons, whether physical or emotional. He became the face of a movement, a tireless advocate for stem cell research, a champion for those trapped in the shadows of limitations. This book is not just an account of a life, it's an invitation to soar beyond our own fears. It delves into the depths of resilience, the unwavering spirit that fueled Reeve's fight for a cure, for a future where limitations were not walls but stepping stones. So, turn the page. Let Reeve's story take you on a flight not of fantasy, but of human spirit. Witness the man who redefined heroism, not with superhuman strength, but with the unwavering belief that even when grounded, we can still touch the sky. Buy your copy now, to dive in.

Download or read book The Resilient Enterprise written by Martin Reeves and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-08-23 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Covid-19 crisis caused massive disruptions to businesses around the world. Many were caught unprepared by the pandemic, putting some in danger of collapse. But not all were equally affected—some emerged from the crisis in a position of advantage. Research on corporate performance over decades shows that the dispersion between companies consistently increases in times of crisis. In other words, resilience to unexpected shocks has a disproportionate impact on long-term competitive advantage. Furthermore, ongoing trends are making it harder for businesses to sustain success over time. New offerings are being adopted, matched, and made obsolete faster, and competitive advantage is becoming less durable. In order to survive in the long run, businesses must reinvent themselves regularly—doing the same thing over and over will eventually lead to failure. Many business leaders are now expressing an intention to make their companies more resilient, but there is not yet a well-codified playbook for doing so. This book, drawing on research from the BCG Henderson Institute over many years, provides a set of perspectives on how to thrive under adverse conditions and how to reinvent businesses for the changing context. Overcoming both of these challenges is necessary for leaders to build long-lasting companies.

Download or read book Bombardment Public Safety and Resilience in English Coastal Communities During the First World War written by Michael Reeve and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is a fascinating novel project researching the effects of bombardment during the First World War on four north-east coastal towns. It makes a much-needed contribution to the history of police work, a developing area of historical research. The book outlines the destruction to the buildings and infrastructure and provides the context of local and national events with the advice and instructions given to the local population. By showing the role of Special Constables, it provides a real insight into the Home Front at this critical time in British history." -Mary Fraser, University of Glasgow, UK "The First World War is both distant and close - our knowledge intimately familiar yet somehow incomplete. Nowhere is this truer than for the unique coastal-urban experience of that conflict explored by Michael Reeve in this book. Focusing on morale, endurance, and public safety, we see and understand new aspects of Britain's coastal zone through German naval and aerial bombardment and destruction in Hull, Hartlepool, West Hartlepool, and Whitby. Local popular culture confronted and framed the tragic aftermaths, with nearby Scarborough's 1915 'Bombardment Museum' housing relics and souvenirs of the attacks, and Hartlepool's 'Bombardment Thank-offering Days' fundraising for hospitalized victims of the December 1914 attack. Shifting between the detail of objects and the grander narratives of context, the author makes a powerful and convincing case for looking afresh at how conflict creates as well as destroys by reconfiguring the people and places of our historic coastline." -Nicholas J. Saunders, University of Bristol, UK This book makes the case for a unique coastal-urban experience of war on the home front during the First World War, focusing on case studies from the north-east of England. The use of case studies from this region problematises an often assumed national or generalised experience of civilian life during the war, by shifting the frame of analysis away from the metropolis. This book begins with chapters related to wartime resilience, including analysis of pre-war fear of invasion and bombardment, and government policy on public safety. It then moves on to a discussion of power relations and the local implementation of policy related to bombardment, including policing. Finally, the book explores the 'coastal-urban' environment, focusing on depictions of war damage in popular culture, and the wartime and post-war commemoration of civilian bombardment. This work provides a multi-faceted perspective on civilian resilience, while responding to a recent call for new histories of the 'coastal zone'. Michael Reeve is a Lecturer in History at Bishop Grosseteste University, Lincoln, UK. He received his PhD in History from the University of Hull, UK, in 2019, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.

Download or read book Organization Design written by Naomi Stanford and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-06-14 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organization Design looks at how you need to change the ways your organization does things in order to increase productivity, performance, and profit. Providing the knowledge and method to handle the kind of recurring organisational change that all businesses face, those which do not involve transforming the entire enterprise but which necessitate significant change at the business unit, divisional, functional, facility or local levels. The problem lies in knowing what needs to change and how to change it. Taking the organisation as a designed system, it describes four major elements of organizations: the work - the basic tasks to be done by the organisation and its parts, the people - characteristics of individuals in the organization, formal organization - structures eg the organisation hierarchy, processes, and methods that are formally created to get individuals to perform tasks, informal organization - emerging arrangements including variations to the norm, processes, and relationships, commonly described as the culture or 'the way we do things round here'. The way these four elements relate, combine and interact affects productivity, performance and profit. Most books on this subject target a wide management audience rather than HR, this is specifically written for HR practitioners and line managers working together to achieve the goal. It clarifies why and how organisations need to be in a state of readiness to design or redesign and emphasises that people as well as business processes must be part of design considerations.

Download or read book Tourism Resilience and Sustainability written by Joseph M. Cheer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world increasingly faced with, and divided by, regional and global crises, resilience has emerged as a key concept with significant relevance for tourism. A paradigmatic shift is taking place in the long-term planning of tourism development, in which the prevailing focus on sustainability is being enhanced with the practical application of resilience planning. This book provides a critical appraisal of sustainability and resilience, and the relationship between the two. Contributions highlight the complexity of addressing social change with resilience planning in a range of tourism contexts, from islands to mountains, from urban to remote environments, and in a range of international settings. Case studies articulate how tourism is both an agent of social change and a victim of larger change processes, and provide important lessons on how to deal with increasingly unstable economic, social and environmental systems. This is the first book to specifically examine social change and sustainability in tourism through a resilience lens. This much-needed contribution to the literature will be a key resource for those working in tourism studies, tourism planning and management, social geography, and development studies, among others.

Download or read book Is There Brilliance in Resilience written by Tier V. King and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-01-05 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is There Brilliance in Resilience? is about that down-to-earth homegirl whose resilience takes you for a walk during a pep talk in a relative way. It gives words to the unexpressed. It is an honest book of poetic stories about family tragedies and life experiences that will rock you, shock you, and get in your face. It will allow you to feel and to share the depression, the extreme grief, and even the relief from the constancy of it. It forces you to look deeper into the lost and the broken to define it and to then empty it out and to refuse it. Yet the survival through it all teaches us to stand up to anything that breaks us down. It is a brushing of ourselves off. It is a taking of our lives back that is so therapeutic and necessary to our well-being.

Today, education faces its greatest crisis since the Civil Rights Movement. Teachers and school administrators are leaving the profession not for lack of dedication but because they are physically, emotionally, and psychologically exhausted.

In this important book, Douglas Reeves and his colleagues provide practical advice that enables coaches and their clients to collaborate effectively to achieve organizational success while also ensuring the professional and personal needs of teachers, leaders, and their families.

Download or read book Fearless Schools written by Douglas Reeves and published by Creative Leadership Press. This book was released on 2021-05-19 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it take to have fearless schools? It starts with psychological safety-students, teachers, and leaders who know that mistakes are the source of learning, not shame or embarrassment. In order for great learning to take place, we first must build the trust and resilience needed to produce fearless students, teachers, and leaders-and ultimately create fearless schools. "If we are truly going to make schools inviting places for all students to come to and flourish, then the status quo, the 'normal, ' is not good enough. To build the trust, the collegiality, the aspirational expectations among educators for this to happen-we need to be fearless. Doug Reeves outlines the conditions for such fearlessness: not tolerating mediocrity, confronting reality over wishful thinking, listening and candor, and resilience and learning together from errors. Written with passion, this book invites you to develop the courage to create schools that are fearless such that all (educators and students) are improving, aspiring, and are part of a learning organization." -John Hattie, Emeritus Laureate Professor, Melbourne Graduate School of Education; Chair, Board of the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership "In Fearless Schools, Dr. Reeves tackles an urgent issue facing our children and the staff members who work with them. Fear of the virus, fear of change, and even fear of interacting with others will create a critical need to address these fears, reduce anxiety, and generally tend to the social and emotional health of children and staff." -Chris Lee Nicastro, PhD, former Commissioner of Education, State of Missouri
