Vůdcovské kvality jsou přítomny v ka?dém z nás, proto?e máme potenciál být mocnými a vlivnými vůdci. Pokud semínko nenajde správné prostředí, zůstane pouze u potenciálu být rostlinou. Pokud náš potenciál není vyu?it, zůstaneme v této fázi po zbytek našeho ?ivota. Nevím, jestli jsi spokojený se svým ?ivotem, osobně chci víc. Chci se vyvíjet z osobního hlediska, překonávat sám sebe a být profesionálem ve svém oboru. Pokud se shodneme na tom, ?e ka?dý z nás má tento potenciál, který je nyní latentní, tak cím se vůdci tak liší od ostatních lidí? Myslím si, ?e rozdíl není zásadní, ale týká se otevřeného a proaktivního přístupu, který vůdce má. Vedoucí neustále hledá nápady, nové, u?itecné věci. To je důvod, proc je jiný, proto?e je schopen přijmout doktrínu nového, kterou pou?ívá pro pozitivní úcely, a je soucástí cílů organizace, kterou vede. Portrét autentického vůdce, který nacrtnu, nepředstavuje ani více, ani méně ne? obraz ideálního vůdce, souhrn vlastností, které by podle mého názoru vůdce měl mít. Mo?ná je tento ideál daleko od toho, co vidíme u našich politických ci spolecenských vůdců, ale objevíme v nich mnoho kvalit prezentovaných v knize. Lídři jsou pře?ivší, umí vzdorovat na špici a naucili se dělat věci okam?itě, dobře a kvalitně. Naucili se vnímat organizaci, kterou vedou, jako důle?itou soucást svého ?ivota. Nepova?ují se za šéfy nebo mana?ery placené podle normy, ale za architekty, lidi, kteří vytvářejí budoucnost pro sebe i pro cleny svého týmu a organizace. Je toho hodně co říci a nechávám na těch, kdo ctou tuto knihu, aby objevili zákony prezentované jeden po druhém a proc ne, aby objevili sami sebe. Vyzývám vás, abyste si tyto zákony přecetli a zapsali si do sešitu cenné věci, které zde najdete, proto?e vedení v?dy vychází ze základních hodnot. Pokud nebudeme mít soubor hodnot, kterým mů?eme věřit a za kter&

"You see, Japan does not actually rest atop an infinite pile of turtles, but on the back of a giant carp . . ."In his mid-thirties, Australian freelance writer and PhD graduate Michael Guest headed for Japan on a whim, worked as tenured Professor in a national university, and stayed fifteen years. Memoir and cultural reflection, his captivating story is one of growth, adaptation and an ever-deepening appreciation of an enchanting, at times perplexing, society.The author is a specialist in modern literature and humanities, with many academic and media articles to his credit, alongside international academic conference lectures. Guest takes an intellectual step beyond other books on culture and the expatriate experience in producing a rich and witty read. In his original take on the creative non-fiction memoir, we pursue the elusive spirit of the country. Notably, the book offers an insider's view of the nuances of university and professional college cultures, and the challenges and opportunities encountered in a career in Japan.A very human account of a stranger in a strange land, Tatami Days is a series of adventures coming to grips with Japanese people and their culture. From everyday customs such as sake and chopstick etiquette; through temple practices, pachinko halls, and wonderful foods; to Noh, Kabuki and avant-garde theatre, we are taken right into the Japanese psyche. Social mores, conventions, historical background, and the underlying meanings of everyday actions are explored and reflected upon. Interactions with the Japanese are engaging, at times amusing, and illustrate the character of the people brilliantly.The Japanese have great reverence for the natural world, and the entrancing pictures Guest paints of scenery, historic places and city life are superbly executed, complete with underlying context. We are with the author, an honest, sensitive and insightful observer, for every faux pas, humorous or otherwise, that anyone might make, stepping into the unknown, discovering tools for understanding and connection. His journey is also one of self-discovery, enforced by isolation and the consciousness of being forever discerned as an outsider. Anyone fascinated with Japan and its people, or contemplating spending time there, will find this book to be particularly delightful and valuable. As a lived study in cross-cultural communication,Tatami Days offers insightful perspectives on developing cultural awareness, understanding and sensitivity. The book would make an excellent discussion raiser if used in an educational context, such as courses on Japanese life, or cultural awareness for international training and development.

Niemand wirkt so im Geheimen wie Lektoren. Sie arbeiten im Dunkeln wie Maulwürfe, die unter den Buchseiten leben und von denen man nur die Produkte sieht: die lektorierten Bücher. Doch erfolgreiche Autoren schwören auf ihre Lektoren.Sie wissen, wie man Texte poliert, verbessert, ihr Potenzial nutzt. Egal, ob es um Füllwörter, um Spannungsbogen, um Absätze oder Leerzeilen, um Plot und Exposés geht. Nicht zu vergessen, das neue Thema "KI".Hans Peter Roentgen hat in seinen Artikeln zusammengefasst, was Lektoren auffällt. Wie man die Fallen vermeidet und das Potenzial seiner Geschichte optimal nutzt.Er zeigt Ihnen, wie Sie diesen Erfahrungsschatz für Ihr Manuskript nutzen können.

Best known as the author of Moby-Dick (1851), Herman Melville is one of America's greatest writers. His achievements range from popular novels and experimental fiction to powerful poetry. His works are tragic and funny, impassioned and ironic, obsessed with philosophical seeking and attuned to the details of everyday life. Melville engaged the pressing issues of his day, from economic inequality and the American slavery crisis to the rise of science and the fragility of democracy. He dwelled on timeless questions about loneliness and intimacy, moral and political responsibility, the limits of our knowledge and agency, and the place of human beings within nature and the cosmos. Melville's life was dramatic, and his career improbable. He was born into privilege, fell into poverty as an adolescent, hunted whales and lived with the Tai Pi people of Polynesia, served in the United States Navy, skyrocketed to fame as a novelist, ruined his career by challenging religious, political, sexual, and artistic conventions, reinvented himself as a poet, and died in relative obscurity just as readers began to appreciate his genius. The scope and diversity of Melville's literature reflects an artist of restless ambition. Herman Melville: A Very Short Introduction helps readers explore the richness of his work.
