  A Macat Analysis of Amartya...

  Economist Amartya Sen’s 1997 work Development as Freedom presents a “middle way” approach to how we should look at international development, based on the idea that its success or failure cannot be measured by income alone. Having grown up in India, Sen brings his own understanding of what poverty really means to the issue, arguing that above all the process and goal of development must be human freedom. He backs up this idea through his concept of “capabilities”—the capacity a person has to do the things he or she believes make for a good life. Only by looking at the “capability set” of groups within different societies is it possible to truly evaluate and compare relative freedoms. And only then can the real impact of development be measured. Sen acknowledges the roles of economic markets and states in expanding freedom, and concludes that democratic control is crucial if development is to succeed in a meaningful way. Development as Freedom is a key text in the field of development economics, because it helped create a way of looking at the subject that pushed well beyond traditional models.

  Leadership Lessons Volume 2 -...

  LEADERSHIP LESSONS Volume 2 is a book that is all about How to Improve Organisational Performance. According to the Oxford dictionary, an essay “is a short piece of non-fiction about a particular topic.” The essays in this book are an accumulation of various projects that I have been involved in for more than a dozen years. The term “projects” spans quite a range of subject matter, and purposes for their existance. The reality is that the central focus of all these essays are improving the ability to understand the dynamics at play that are impacting their organisations. The purpose is to help organisations and the people within them to be able to realise their indifividual and collectve potential. Often business-type books require that a reader slogs all the way through until a light-bulb might possibly go on. By writing this book as a series of essays (each barely two pages long), with some luck, readers will be able to read in almost ‘’bite-size’’ increments, with each essay standing on its own. This makes Leadership Lessons perfect for travel or breaks between meetings. The essays contained in the subsequent pages are printed in more-or-less chronilogically in the order that they were written in, with many of the essays being titled in the form of a question. The reason for the title being in the form of a question is that whilst most any manager in an organisation will be (or should be) looking for answers, it now 2019 and it should be clear that if you don’t learn to ask better questions, you will never get the answers you really need.
