Sinopse

A bestseller--more than 300,000 copies sold, translated into seventeen languages, and featured in the Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Miami Herald, Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, and Fortune
•    Shows how discoveries in quantum physics, biology, and chaos theory enable us to deal successfully with change and uncertainty in our organizations and our lives
•    Includes a new chapter on how the new sciences can help us understand and cope with some of the major social challenges of our times

We live in a time of chaos, rich in potential for new possibilities. A new world is being born. We need new ideas, new ways of seeing, and new relationships to help us now. New science--the new discoveries in biology, chaos theory, and quantum physics that are changing our understanding of how the world works--offers this guidance. It describes a world where chaos is natural, where order exists "for free." It displays the intricate webs of cooperation that connect us. It assures us that life seeks order, but uses messes to get there.

Leadership and the New Science is the bestselling, most acclaimed, and most influential guide to applying the new science to organizations and management. In it, Wheatley describes how the new science radically alters our understanding of the world, and how it can teach us to live and work well together in these chaotic times. It will teach you how to move with greater certainty and easier grace into the new forms of organizations and communities that are taking shape. You'll learn that:

•    Relationships are what matters--even at the subatomic level
•    Life is a vast web of interconnections where cooperation and participation are required
•    Chaos and change are the only route to transformation

In this expanded edition, Wheatley provides examples of how non-linear networks and self-organizing systems are flourishing in the modern world. In the midst of turbulence, Wheatley shows, we create work and lives rich in meaning.

    Slavery helped finance the Industrial Revolution in England. Plantation owners, shipbuilders, and merchants connected with the slave trade accumulated vast fortunes that established banks and heavy industry in Europe and expanded the reach of capitalism worldwide. Eric Williams advanced these powerful ideas in Capitalism and Slavery, published in 1944. Years ahead of its time, his profound critique became the foundation for studies of imperialism and economic development. Binding an economic view of history with strong moral argument, Williams's study of the role of slavery in financing the Industrial Revolution refuted traditional ideas of economic and moral progress and firmly established the centrality of the African slave trade in European economic development. He also showed that mature industrial capitalism in turn helped destroy the slave system. Establishing the exploitation of commercial capitalism and its link to racial attitudes, Williams employed a historicist vision that set the tone for future studies.William A. Darity Jr.'s new foreword highlights Williams's insights for a new generation, and Colin Palmer's introduction assesses the lasting impact of Williams's groundbreaking work and analyzes the heated scholarly debates it generated when it first appeared.

    Want to pay off your mortgage and be out of debt? This book has the solution. It's full of valuable ideas and examples that others have used to eliminate their mortgage debt in just a few years. You will learn how to minimize expenses and plan your pay off strategy in an organized and practical manner. What do banks offer as a solution? Most banks only give you one option which is basically to send your payment every month for the next 30 years. Yes, you will have paid off your mortgage by then but there's a better way. A faster way and easier way that requires simply planning for what needs to be done. Do you have a 30-year mortgage? Do you have credit card debt? Do you make insurance and property tax payments? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you can seriously lower your mortgage debt and the time it takes you to pay it off. If you answered "no", there's still other options that are explained in detail. Most books give you general ideas as to what you can do to eliminate your mortgage debt but this book shows you how it's done with real examples and solutions. You will see how payments amortize, how much interest goes towards payments, and how much interest you will pay over the life of the loan when presented with different solutions.

    Put relationship-centered communication at the forefront of care
    
     
    Today, physicians face a hypercompetitive marketplace in which they must meet unique and complex patient needs as efficiently as possible. But in a culture prioritizing clinical outcomes above all, there can be a tendency to lose sight of one of the most critical aspects of providing effective care: the communication skills that build and foster physician-patient relationships.
    
     
    Studies have shown that good communication between doctors and patients and among all caregivers who interface with patients directly results in better clinical outcomes, reduced costs, greater patient satisfaction, and lower rates of physician burnout.
    
     
    In Communication the Cleveland Clinic Way, Dr. Adrienne Boissy and her team tell the story of how Cleveland Clinic created and applied the R.E.D.E. to Communicate: Foundations of Healthcare program, making the world-renowned hospital system a leader in relationship-centered care. They provide a step-by-step guide for healthcare leaders and decision-makers to design, develop, and implement communication skills training in their own institutions. Learn how to:
    
     
    * Craft an effective, colleague-supported communication skills program to include veteran physicians, residents, and medical students 
    
    * Leverage creative program design and data transparency to engage and facilitate staff physicians and advanced care providers 
    
    * Identify common misperceptions and myths in healthcare communication and respond to them successfully 
    
    * Cultivate a true sense of empathy-with patients and fellow caregivers alike-while maintaining professionalism
    
     
    In a field where difficult conversations and stressful relationships are commonplace, clinicians need a structured approach to enable them to deliver the best care possible. Communication the Cleveland Clinic Way is the blueprint for establishing a relationship-centered program that will improve patient experience, reinvigorate doctors’ passion for their work, and elevate any organization.

    This book will show how the principles of advertising research and planning can also be applied to the dirty business of presenting and selling ideas.  It is for anyone whose job is to stand up in front of others, and persuade (which is, of course, almost everyone.) While many books exist on the subject of presentations and persuasion, there are none tailored specifically to the needs of the advertising industry, where the currency is that of ideas, rather than physical products. Perfect Pitch provides valuable lessons from inside and outside the advertising industry in the art of presenting creative ideas and new business pitches in a more engaging and effective manner.
