  As a leader, how do you balance compassion for your people with effectiveness in getting the job done? 
   
   
   
  A global pandemic, Depression-level unemployment, civil and political unrest—it feels as if the world as we know it is faltering. Through it all, our spirit is being tested. Now more than ever, it's imperative for leaders to demonstrate compassion. 
   
   
   
  Compassion in leadership improves collaboration, raises levels of trust, and enhances loyalty. Studies also find that compassionate leaders are perceived as stronger and more competent. 
   
   
    
  But, as founder of Potential Project Rasmus Hougaard and long-time coauthor Jacqueline Carter show in this essential book, most leaders overlook a key leadership truth: compassion on its own is not enough. Being an effective leader often requires giving tough feedback, making hard decisions that disappoint people, and, in some cases, laying people off. Showing compassion in leadership can't come at the expense of wisdom and effectiveness. You need both, and this book shows you how to strike the right balance. 
   
    
   
  With rich stories and examples based on data from 15,000 leaders in more than 5,000 companies, as well as practical tools and advice, Compassionate Leadership is your indispensable guide to doing the hard work of leadership in a human way.

  Inhabitants of Medellín, Colombia, suffered from the war-like violence perpetrated by drug cartels and other actors in the 1980s and 1990s. Thousands died, including innocent civilians, judges, and journalists, many more were injured and suffered psychological trauma. Three decades later, however, transnational media companies such as Netflix have transformed the traumatic memories into entertainment while the main perpetrator, Pablo Escobar, became a 
  recognizable brand name. 
   
   
   
  Victimhood, Memory, and Consumerism: Profiting from Pablo documents the story of violence inflicted on Medellín, and critically examines the status of its victims. Drawing on unique empirical material, the book addresses the impact of commercial exploitation of the city's violent past on the victims of mass drug violence and on the present nature of the city. 
   
    
   
  Victimhood, Memory, and Consumerism offers a poignant critique of the role of the global market economy in the unequal distribution of narrative power among those engaged in processes of collective memory construction. A thoroughly compelling listen, this volume will appeal internationally to academics in criminology and victimology, as well as those interested in critical perspectives on Netflix, commercialism, and Colombian history.

  The Emperors of Rome - A...

  The Founding Emperors of Rome laid the groundwork for the Roman Empire, marking a shift from the Roman Republic to imperial rule. Augustus, Tiberius, and Caligula stand as the pivotal figures in this transformation, each shaping the empire in distinct ways. 
  Augustus, born Gaius Octavius, was the first emperor and one of the most successful leaders in Roman history. His reign, from 27 BCE to 14 CE, ushered in the Pax Romana, a period of relative peace and prosperity. Augustus was not only a military genius but also a skilled politician who effectively consolidated power. By presenting himself as the restorer of the Roman Republic, he maintained a delicate balance between autocratic rule and the preservation of traditional republican institutions. Augustus implemented numerous reforms, including the establishment of a professional standing army and a system of taxation that stabilized the empire’s finances. His legacy is marked by the expansion of Roman territory and the establishment of Rome as the center of the ancient world. 
  Following Augustus, his stepson Tiberius became emperor in 14 CE. Tiberius' reign is often seen as a contrast to Augustus. While Augustus sought to maintain the image of republican values, Tiberius became increasingly reclusive and suspicious, particularly in the later years of his reign. His reign was marked by significant military achievements, including the consolidation of Rome’s frontiers in Germania and the Balkans, but his reign was also tainted by political purges and a growing atmosphere of distrust. Tiberius left the throne to his adopted son Caligula, but the political instability and paranoia of his reign would have lasting consequences on the empire.
