    The Geography of Risk - Epic...

    This program includes an introduction and epilogue read by the author.This century has seen the costliest hurricanes in U.S. history—but who bears the brunt of these monster storms? 
    Consider this: Five of the most expensive hurricanes in history have made landfall since 2005: Katrina ($160 billion), Ike ($40 billion), Sandy ($72 billion), Harvey ($125 billion), and Maria ($90 billion). With more property than ever in harm's way, and the planet and oceans warming dangerously, it won't be long before we see a $250 billion hurricane. Why? Because Americans have built $3 trillion worth of property in some of the riskiest places on earth: barrier islands and coastal floodplains. And they have been encouraged to do so by what Gilbert M. Gaul reveals in The Geography of Risk to be a confounding array of federal subsidies, tax breaks, low-interest loans, grants, and government flood insurance that shift the risk of life at the beach from private investors to public taxpayers, radically distorting common notions of risk. 
    These federal incentives, Gaul argues, have resulted in one of the worst planning failures in American history, and the costs to taxpayers are reaching unsustainable levels. We have become responsible for a shocking array of coastal amenities: new roads, bridges, buildings, streetlights, tennis courts, marinas, gazebos, and even spoiled food after hurricanes. The Geography of Risk will forever change the way you think about the coasts, from the clash between economic interests and nature, to the heated politics of regulators and developers.

  • The Poetic Journey of Self-Leadership - Leadership Development along Stages of Psychological Growth - cover

    The Poetic Journey of...

    Everyone is on a journey of growth, from birth to death. The authors used their research data, to tap into the vital stages of this journey of growth from a psychological growth perspective. They linked the stages of psychological growth to self-leadership development. Additionally, they linked different stages of self-leadership development to different types and styles of leadership. For example, they found that authoritative leadership is linked to earlier stages of psychological growth, while inclusive leadership is linked to latter stages of psychological growth. 
    
    The Poetic Journey of Self-Leadership: Leadership Development along Stages of Psychological Growth is relevant to those interested in self-reflection (as it assists to assign oneself to a stage of psychological development), personal growth (as it anticipates processes to follow during one’s current stage of development), self-leadership development, as well as useful for leadership assessment by practitioners (by assigning leadership to stages of development). Additionally, from an academic perspective, the book is relevant to psychology, sociology and leadership students.
    
    Contents include:
    •	Surviving: Abandonment versus overwhelment; Survival-stage leader
    •	Conforming: Internality versus externality; Conforming leader
    •	Differentiating: Social predestination; Differentiated leader
    •	Individuating: Guilt versus fear; Journey to individuation; Conquering complexes; Authenticity; Individuated leader
    •	Self-actualizing: Kintsugi; Traumas; Magical other; Self-actualised leader
    •	Integrating: Values; Heroes; Purpose; Integrated leader
    •	Serving: Servant leader
    
    Books about leadership and poetry are mostly written from the perspective of leaders, but The Poetic Journey of Self-Leadership: Leadership Development along Stages of Psychological Growth, focuses on self-leadership development, and not the usual listing of heroic leader capabilities that must be strived for. 
    
    The authors used self-reported poetry from diverse participants, and in their own voices as their main data collection source. The book presents a diversity of writing styles and topics, and makes it much wider in scope and richer than other books.

    The End of Competitive Advantage...

    Are you at risk of being trapped in an uncompetitive business?Chances are the strategies that worked well for you even a few years ago no longer deliver the results you need. Dramatic changes in business have unearthed a major gap between traditional approaches to strategy and the way the real world works now. In short, strategy is stuck. Most leaders are using frameworks that were designed for a different era of business and based on a single dominant idea—that the purpose of strategy is to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. Once the premise on which all strategies were built, this idea is increasingly irrelevant.Now, Columbia Business School professor and globally recognized strategy expert Rita Gunther McGrath argues that it's time to go beyond the very concept of sustainable competitive advantage. Instead, organizations need to forge a new path to winning: capturing opportunities fast, exploiting them decisively, and moving on even before they are exhausted. She shows how to do this with a new set of practices based on the notion of transient competitive advantage. This book serves as a new playbook for strategy, one based on updated assumptions about how the world works, and shows how some of the world's most successful companies use this method to compete and win today.

    Two-time heavyweight champion of the world and record-busting businessman George Foreman has spent his career challenging prevailing conceptions of success and achievement. In this book, he’s stepping into the ring as a coach to teach entrepreneurs the knockout business secrets that lead to extraordinary levels of success. You’ll learn how to focus on smart growth, fearlessly seize opportunities, and build an organization of significance. Knockout Entrepreneur does this by showing what it means to truly live out a new way of doing business--to be an idea wrangler and visionary who uses God-given imagination; someone who never gives up, gives in, or backs down from the hard work necessary to make it; an encourager, risk-taker, mentor, and giver in a world that often reflects the opposite; someone with integrity and generosity who doesn’t strive for titles and possessions; an amasser of wisdom over wealth. By equipping you with these principles and with strategies to help you embody them every day, Foreman provides the tools needed to come out swinging in the business world while also instilling the intrinsic knowledge that the greatest ROI is found in faith, family, and community. Backed with plenty of the author’s engaging personal stories, contemporary accounts of success, timeless wisdom, and leading questions, Knockout Entrepreneur is packed full of everything you need to put your knockout career--and life--plan into action.
