Summary

“This book will soon become a widely accepted standard on how to deliver a successful project on time and on budget in any industry.” —John Garahan, Vice President, Global Delivery, Broadridge Financial Solutions Successful project managers must engage and motivate others to achieve complex goals. Ruth Pearce shows how behavior, language, and attitudes affect engagement and how leveraging character strengths can help improve relationships, increase innovation, and build higher-functioning teams. This focus on character strengths—such as bravery, curiosity, fairness, gratitude, and humor—can help project managers recognize and cultivate the things that are best in themselves and others. Many project managers do not have the authority to direct the activities of people on their teams—they can only influence them. The most influential people succeed by focusing less on themselves and their message and more on others. They pay attention, they are brave, they are vulnerable, they are curious, and they look for and acknowledge the things that are important about and to the other person. And they model the behavior that they want to see. This book tells you how.Pearce provides tools and frameworks for building a culture of appreciation, understanding character strengths, mapping leadership qualities, understanding learning styles, identifying team roles, and executing plans. She also explores the factors that contribute to conflict and tensions, as well as strategies for getting through difficult times. We see these tools and techniques in action through “Maggie,” a project manager who is struggling to motivate her team. Each chapter concludes with reflective questions to make the ideas stick and with key strategies for success.

    Until relatively recently, music students at all levels of study—from the conservatories to public schools—had few resources available for the formal study of musical notation and terminology in the classroom. In fact, it was not until 1914, when Professor Karl Gehrkens at the Oberlin School of Music published this compilation of class notes and sources he collected over the years, that a uniform text became available for schools and universities everywhere. Since the publication of this monumental work, similar textbooks have emerged, but Dr. Gehrkens’ contribution remains thoroughly worthwhile—particularly since it provides not just the definitions of musical terms, but also the historical context of those terms. This inclusion enables students of music to better understand and remember those terms, and provides a platform from which Gehrkens argues for a uniform usage of musical terminology. Also included in the book are numerous musical excerpts, pictures, and actual analyses of musical examples.Recommended for the musically curious as well as the serious musical student.

    The promotion through YouTube will be one of the biggest opportunities that this social platform makes available and through the right skills, we will know how to enhance and make the best of what YouTube offers us. Success comes through YouTube views, visits obtained by watching that specific video or that specific channel. In this case, every user registered on the platform, (after the marriage with Google, just a Big G account), can become (in one fell swoop) a publisher, author, director and screenwriter of their YouTube channel, which will be instantly reachable throughout the world and official disseminator of your ideas. Or you can decide to become simply a spectator with decidedly active connotations, together with many other viewers; means the success of a video or of the same YouTube channel, and also a reflection of a brand or an idea. The YouTube views are therefore the number of views that the video gets, not to be confused with the YouTube Likes, which instead indicate your liking related to the video or channel viewed. The second concept is not entirely different from what made Facebook famous and is one of the first parameters to keep in mind to achieve success. Making a video and uploading it to YouTube is easy, but it is even easier to end up in obscurity and never reach the desired visibility. Our goal is to provide the right information not to end up in a dead-end and not remain anonymous. Whether you are a company or a private individual with a new idea, we have the means of promotion for your YouTube Marketing and we are able to offer you a solid marketing plan. As with any product, even YouTube has its own good rules and its good techniques to stay on the crest of the wave and we study and apply it daily. What are you still waiting for?

    Howie Milstein has had enough. After many years participating with a multitude of communities, such as corporations, non-profit organizations, boards of directors, and bowling teams, he’s finally mustered up the nerve to address the enormous elephant in the room. When leaders are dicks, the community is unhealthy, stakeholders are disengaged, and outcomes are marginal. In DBAFD, Milstein asserts that it’s incumbent upon leadership to promote and model strong, meaningful relationships throughout the community. At the basis of all relationships is trust, and while trust can be built through competency, reliability, and intimacy, it is easily destroyed when leaders’ raging egos are manifest too much of the time. While the author is permanently imbued with irreverence and utter distaste for conventional thinking, DBAFD strikes a balance between the lighthearted perspective that helps people swallow the sometimes bitter pill of self-awareness, and the serious message that we all abut, and occasionally cross, the line of being a dick. Not meant to be an exhaustive tome on emotional intelligence, leadership, and the art of seizing conscious control of natural impulses, DBAFD makes a concise, compelling case for treating others with respect and dignity. The book is perfectly suited to anyone in a leadership role, without regard to whether they possess a formal leadership title. In other words, it’s for everybody. And it makes a perfect gift for those leaders you want to send a clear message to!

    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.
