Summary

The speed of the business is the speed of the leader. It’s time to up your game. One of the most important questions a leader can ask themselves is: “How do I get my teams, my organization to move faster?”That is the challenge that all leaders face. This challenge grows more intense every day. Lead with Speed is the answer. This problem of speed is often disguised by other symptoms, such as “my projects cannot make an accurate prediction of when they will be done” or the stated need of “my teams need to take more risks.” The real need is not reckless risk-taking that will lead to even more problems and finishing even later. The real need is for speed.An organization can only move as quickly as its leaders. Lead with Speed shows you how to get your ideas, plans, and needs disseminated quickly from the top down. Innovation, or genius, is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration. Alan Willett provides a comprehensive guide on how to sweat faster. You will learn how to:Develop the mind-set required for leading with speed•Discern the critical differences between slow and fast projects•Notice what you as a leader need to do to create those differences•Create a targeting system for speed•Get whole groups of people working together to create organizational speed•Lead the exceptional few to be the catalyst for accelerating your organization

    Did you know that hemp could be an excellent solution to mitigate environmental problems on our planet? 
    Hemp, whose scientific name is Cannabis sativa, was named in 1753 by the Swedish scientist, naturalist, botanist and zoologist Charles Linnaeus; it is an herbaceous plant of the genus Cannabis, a member of the Cannabaceae family known for over 6500 years, with great economic, agricultural, industrial, cultural and medical importance. It originated in Asia, has been used throughout history in the production of fibers, oils and its application in pottery shards, cordage and paper making. In Ancient Egypt, the pharaohs used hemp to obtain their fabrics, an example of this was a piece unearthed from the tomb of the pharaoh Alchanaten dating from 1200 BC. 
    Hemp is considered a very valuable crop with particular agronomic characteristics that provide suitable raw materials for multiple potential applications. It should be noted that hemp is considered a low-cost plant for its production, it is ecological and sustainable thanks to the fact that its production does not generate large impacts on the environment and contributes with almost 20,000 products that are biodegradable and do not take time to decompose naturally without generating toxicity in the environment; its uses make it very versatile for human and environmental needs. 
    In this audiobook, you will learn about the history of hemp, uses of the plant, production characteristics and requirements, economic advantages, environmental benefits and new applications of hemp such as hempcrete. 
    If you are interested in knowing more about the incredible hemp we invite you to enjoy this audiobook that Pharmacology University brings to you.

    We've seen evidence that a new economic cycle has begun. Technological revolutions come by way of a cluster of new innovations. About a decade ago, you started to see AI, robotics, and IoT (sensors) delivering on automation. That's been powerful, but not transformational. It does not force businesses to fundamentally change how they do business. The last piece of the puzzle is cryptocurrency because it allows us to process and transfer economic value without human intervention. Soon, there will be a global race to build autonomous operations. Businesses and organizations without autonomous operations simply will not be able to compete with those that do because autonomy is the ultimate competitive advantage.Crypto is the mechanism that will accrue value from being the infrastructure for the next digital financial revolution. Crypto Asset Investing in the Age of Autonomy lays out a case that we've begun a new technological revolution similar to the Internet Age of the 1990s. Artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, robotics, and cryptocurrency are converging to deliver on a new age, what author Jake Ryan calls the Age of Autonomy. Understanding the transformation that's taken place before anyone else can yield enormous investment opportunity. In this book, you'll learn how and why to invest in crypto assets.

    The concept of personality traits is nothing new in a discussion. It is an old story in the books of psychological literature. Extroversion is widely discussed among all of them and is a type for most of the world population. Studies suggested, almost 62% of the world population is extroverts. Thanks to them for making the world a better place though. Many theories signify that extroversion or introversion is a key material in the making of a human personality. The word extroversion is widely interpreted as a personality trait of someone who feels recharged being surrounded by people, whereas staying alone is the hardest thing for them to do. They feel lonely and anxious while spending alone time. This world and its society are largely designed for extroverts to work properly. Like our modern day schools and workplaces are really efficient for them to work. But extroversion or introversion is based on a spectrum which keeps changing in different environments and ambiverts are somewhere close to the middle. Extroverts hold a vibrant and different kind of mindset and they are different from their daily life choices and tendencies too. Extroversion is a hugely researched psychological formation and tons of neuro-scientific research and surveys are ongoing to unveil more out of them.

    Twilight in the Desert reveals a Saudi oil and production industry that could soon approach a serious, irreversible decline. In this exhaustively researched book, veteran oil industry analyst Matthew Simmons draws on his three-plus decades of insider experience and more than 200 independently produced reports about Saudi petroleum resources and production operations. He uncovers a story about Saudi Arabias troubled oil industry, not to mention its political and societal instability, which differs sharply from the globally accepted Saudi version. Its a story that is provocative and disturbing, based on undeniable facts, but until now never told in its entirety. Twilight in the Desert answers all readers questions about Saudi oil and production industries with keen examination instead of unsubstantiated posturing, and takes its place as one of the most important books of this still-young century.
