Download or read book The Language of Leadership written by Joel Schwartzberg and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impression you make as a leader has the power to build, enhance, or sabotage your authority and ideas. Discover how to convey the essence of leadership with every interaction. Every communication leaders make—speaking, writing, posting, sharing, and even listening—has the power to either secure or sabotage their impact. But wanting to inspire and engage their team and knowing how to do it are two different things. In this book, Joel Schwartzberg suggests mindsets, tactics, tips, and examples to help readers reach that goal using the most powerful leadership tool available: a leader's voice. Whether managers are giving speeches, telling stories, sending emails, posting messages, recording videos, or running Zoom meetings, these are essential tools for establishing authority and galvanizing an audience. Readers will learn how to inspire instead of inform, communicate with purpose and power, and sell—not just share—their most important ideas.
Download or read book Meaningful Partnership at Work written by Seth Silver and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are some work partnerships exceptional while most are not? How can we establish and sustain an enhanced level of cohesion, connection, and collaboration in the most important work relationship, the one between a manager and team? What could remedy the high levels of isolation and anxiety so many feel at work these days? Silver and Franz explore the concept of ‘meaningful partnership’ in the workplace. They present meaningful partnership as a mindset where both leaders and their teams are fully committed to ensuring the support and success of the other. Then, they describe a model called ERTAP, which stands for Empathy, Respect, Trust, Alignment, and Partnership, which is the foundation for meaningful partnership. Finally, they detail a practical yet transformative relationship-building process referred to as the Workplace Covenant. This enables leaders and teams to create mutual commitments with obligatory weight that help them to feel accountable for the success of the relationship and each other. The book includes real client stories that illustrate the dimensions of partnership and the Workplace Covenant process. Silver and Franz also outline other work relationships that can benefit from meaningful partnership, pitfalls to avoid, relevant research, and insights derived from years of consulting experience. This book is a must-read for leaders interested in a better working relationship with their team; for teams who have critical work partnerships with other teams; for individuals who work closely with other individuals and need an exceptional 1:1 partnership; and finally for third-party experts in HR or continuous improvement who are seeking a new powerful way to help clients feel supported and be more successful.

Book excerpt: FINALLY: THE ANSWER TO WHY SOMEONE SHOULD BUY FROM YOU, WORK FOR YOU, INVEST IN YOU OR PARTNER WITH YOUAs a business leader, you need this answer to find your best-fit clients, engage employees, secure partners and win investors. In this trailblazing book, storyteller Paul Furiga reveals the importance of your Capital S Story to drive these results. Finding Your Capital S Story shows how our brains are hard-wired to remember stories and use them to eliminate 21st-century information overload and digital clutter. Even before we had written language, we shared stories and now, thanks to MRIs and other scientific tools, we can prove the power of storytelling. Classical advertising fails to help businesses, organizations or consumers solve problems or challenges. Advertisers often fail on the most critical measure they owe to those paying for ads: results. Unfortunately, advertising has historically and artificially defined the focus of communication ONLY to sell products. An authentic story is the most effective communication strategy. It is self-contained and requires little or no explanation. All you need to move hearts and minds is a storyteller, an authentic story that resonates and an engaged audience. By uncovering, developing and sharing your Capital S Story, you have the opportunity to turn biology, culture and science to your benefit, engaging your most important audiences.In Finding Your Capital S Story, Paul Furiga shares the formula to:Quickly describe your true business purpose and your genuine identityIdentify those in your organization best equipped to share your storyContinually engage your most important audiencesOver four decades, Paul Furiga has written and edited 20,000 stories as a journalist, covering everything from murders to the White House. As an agency leader, he's shared the stories of hundreds of companies from start-ups to Fortune 5 giants, delivering award-winning results by focusing on the Capital S story at the heart of every successful organization. Every organization has at least one great story to share: Its own. Finding Your Capital S Story explains how to uncover, develop and share your Capital S Story to create remarkable results.

Download or read book Dissertation Writing in Practice written by Linda Cooley and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2003-10-01 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to raise students' awareness of the linguistic features of a postgraduate dissertation/thesis written in English. It deals primarily with the linguistic aspects of extended pieces of writing, placing great emphasis on the writer's responsibility for the readability of the text. Each of the features introduced is illustrated through examples taken from authentic writing at the appropriate level. In addition, each chapter has a number of tasks to help students put into practice the skills that have been introduced. This book is mainly designed to help research students whose first language is not English, but it should also prove useful to native speakers of English, many of whom lack extensive experience of writing at this level. It can be used as a textbook for postgraduate students on a dissertation/thesis writing course, and may also be used as a self-study guide since an annotated answer key is provided for all the tasks. This book takes a realistic approach to helping students who may find the extended writing required at postgraduate level a daunting task; although it provides ample opportunities for practice, it does not expect students to produce extensive writing beyond that required for their degree.

Download or read book Verne Sankey written by Timothy W. Bjorkman and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late January of 1934, as authorities delivered John Dillinger to an Indiana jail, the United States Justice Department announced, for the first time, that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had just captured America’s Public Enemy No. 1. It was not Dillinger the Justice Department was referring to, but an affable railroader turned outlaw, Verne Sankey. Now Timothy W. Bjorkman has written the first full-length biography of this overlooked criminal, relating how a South Dakota family man became a bootlegger, a bank robber, and eventually, a kidnapper whose deeds heralded a nationwide crime spree. In the early days of Prohibition, Sankey, then a locomotive engineer, was drawn to the easy money he could make bootlegging. When crime syndicates monopolized the trade and Prohibition’s end was in sight, he turned to the occasional bank robbery and eventually to a ransom scheme. In tracing the life of Sankey—and his demure wife, Fern—Bjorkman depicts a good-natured man, friendly neighbor, and gentleman rumrunner catering to the banker and broker trade. He also explores Sankey’s motivations, his identification as America’s first Public Enemy, and his ultimate descent into oblivion. Verne Sankey: America’s First Public Enemy is a riveting narrative set amid the Great Depression. Bjorkman’s research painstakingly reveals the life of Verne Sankey and his times, delving into the intriguing story of the family of his kidnapping victim, Charles Boettcher II, and the stark contrast between wealth and poverty during some of America’s most harrowing days.
Download or read book The Assassination Complex written by Jeremy Scahill and published by Serpent's Tail. This book was released on 2016-05-05 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this shocking exposé of the US government's drone programme, bestselling author Jeremy Scahill and his colleagues at the investigative website The Intercept expose stunning new details about the secret assassination policy being carried out by America and her allies. When the US government discusses drone strikes publicly, it offers assurances that such operations are a more precise alternative to troops on the ground and are authorised only when an "imminent" threat is present and there is "near certainty" that the intended target will be killed. The implicit message on drone strikes from the Obama administration has been trust, but don't verify. The online magazine The Intercept exploded this secrecy when it obtained an extraordinary cache of secret documents, the most shocking of which are included in this book, that reveal how Washington's fourteen-year targeted killing campaign suffers from an overreliance on flawed intelligence, an apparently incalculable civilian toll, and an inability to extract potentially valuable intelligence from terror suspects. The Assassination Complex is a vital, urgent book which allows us to understand at last the circumstances under which the US government and her allies have granted themselves the right to sentence individuals to death without the established checks and balances of arrest, trial, and appeal.
