  Whether you're helping your child tie shoelaces, your gran with her new phone, or a boardroom of executives, if you have knowledge or skills that someone else doesn’t―and you want to help them learn―you are a teacher. To be human is to teach, so the question is: what kind of ‘teacher’ do you want to be? We’ve all been taught by someone who bored us to tears―and many of us were lucky to have teachers who made learning fun and memorable. If you’re a Gen Xer or Boomer, chances are you were taught in a ‘sit down and repeat’ style classroom. And unless you consciously choose otherwise, that’s the style you’ll default to. But there’s a better option: a learner-centred environment built on collaboration, communication and discovery. It’s more effective, more engaging―and it shifts the responsibility for learning to where it belongs: the learner. This book distils the foundations of good teaching into four core pillars and shows how to make learning in any context effective, fun and lasting. Maria’s ‘universal methodology’ is drawn from 30 years of global teaching and facilitation experience. You’ll learn how to: * Connect with learners to unlock their potential * Structure sessions for real engagement * Guide learning without lecturing * And reflect on what works―success or not. Ideal for professionals and subject-matter experts who don’t have a teaching degree (and don’t want to be a ‘Death by PowerPoint’ presenter), this audio-book is a hands-on guide to creating extraordinary learning. Includes a free 30+ page Engagement ToolKit: A Facilitator’s Guide to Breaking the Lecture Habit. All profits support volunteer teacher training in communities with limited access to quality education.

  The aim of this report is to help us imagine a better common economic life, one which rewards allthe stakeholders in business, rather than privileging the shareholding few. Such a move can anddoes benefit people, planet and profit, but it will only do so when we move from a story fuelled byextraction to one formed by creation. The authors of this report work in politics, economics andmanagement, but are also trained in theology. As such they are steeped in the deep stories that haveshaped our economic, political and social life. A full consideration of these deeper ideas that underlyour institutions (for good and for ill) is necessary if we are to truly imagine a better way to conductour business and how we shape our economic policies.

  Toxic Workplace! - Managing...

  Most of us as leaders have experienced the frustration and  confusion of having an extremely difficult person to deal with in  the workplace?a person who debilitates individuals, teams, and even  organizations. These difficult individuals have the capacity  to completely undermine our sense of well-being. Why? Because  in a variety of ways they get under our skin, infiltrate our  professional and personal space, demoralize us, de-motivate the  team, and ultimately affect our competence and productivity.   They are ?toxic.? Unfortunately, like bad neighbors, short of  picking up and moving to new venues, it seems impossible to escape  the deleterious effects of these toxic individuals?and for some  victims, even once the toxic person is no longer there!   The topic of toxic personalities at work has been long on  history but quite sparse on research. Although there are numerous  books on the subject that attempt to guide leaders? thinking and  behaviors to preserve their own sanity, Toxic Workplace  will be the first to tackle the underlying systems  issues that enable the toxic person to create a path of  destruction in the organization, often for a very long time and at  the cost of losing talented people all throughout the  organization.   The author's research has revealed the warning signs that  indicate a serious behavioral problem before months or even years  of lost productivity has resulted.  Further, they  have identified how this toxicity spreads in systems with  long-term effects on organizational climate even after the person  has left. Their two-year national research study of  approximately 500 leaders provides very specific actions that  leaders need to take to reduce both the intensity and frequency of  toxic personalities at work.  No other book provides this menu  of options from a systems perspective with practical  relevance in real work situations.

  The New Goliaths - How...

  An approach to reinvigorating economic competition that doesn’t break up corporate giants, but compels them to share their technology, data, and knowledge 
    
  “Bessen is a master of unpacking the nuances of a complex array of interrelated trends to build a coherent story of how the promise of the democratized Internet ended up under the control of just a few. Read The New Goliaths to see how the forest came to have only room for a few tall trees with the rest of us in the undergrowth.”—Joshua Gans, coauthor of Prediction Machines: The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence 
    
  Historically, competition has powered progress under capitalism. Companies with productive new products rise to the top, but sooner or later, competitors come along with better innovations and disrupt the threat of monopoly. Dominant firms like Walmart, Amazon, and Google argue that this process of “creative destruction” prevents them from becoming too powerful or entrenched. 
    
  But the threat of competition has sharply decreased over the past twenty years, and today’s corporate giants have come to power by using proprietary information technologies to create a tilted playing field. This development has increased economic inequality and social division, slowed innovation, and allowed dominant firms to evade government regulation. In the face of increasing calls to break up the largest companies, James Bessen argues that a better way to restore competitive balance and dynamism is to encourage or compel these companies to share technology, data, and knowledge.
