Sinopsis

“A guide that introduces system thinking, thereby demystifying the management process and helping you see your entire situation and a clear path forward.” —Eric Dean, CEO, Whereoware 
 
Every manager knows a business is a system, yet very few have studied systems thinking or system dynamics. This is a critical oversight, one which Simple_Complexity remedies. Simple_Complexity reveals the fundamental system archetype at work in your enterprise and prescribes new and exciting ways to re-invigorate your management thinking. Picking up where the greats in management thought leave off, Simple_Complexity provides a systems context that powerfully enriches traditional management thought and practice. 
 
“Willy takes the powerful but complex discipline of systems thinking, lays it bare for everyone to see and comprehend through real and practical examples. He helps readers understand that systems invariably comprise and touch every activity and part of the enterprise and not understanding them can lead to devastating results.” —Lance Drummond, Executive in Residence Christopher Newport University, Luter School of Business, Board Member Freddie Mac 
 
“Simple_Complexity will push your thinking about organizations and the people who manage and populate them to a new level. You will never view organizations in the same way again.” —Michael Fraser, President & CEO, National Technologies Associates, Inc. 
 
“[A] practical little book on leadership. Here is someone with (a) real-world experience, (b) advanced academic credentials, and (c) a humble spirit, and he is willing to do one thing: he translates fresh ideas from systems thinking into language that anyone with a lick of ambition can understand and use.” —Nathan Harter, author of Cultural Dynamics and Leadership

    Frank Albert Fetter was an American economist of the Austrian school, but referred to himself as a member of the “American Psychological School” instead. Fetter contested the position that land is theoretically distinct from capital, arguing that such a distinction was impractical. His stand on this issue led him to oppose ideas like the land value tax. Fetter also asserted that just as the price of each consumer good is determined solely by subjective value, so the rate of interest is determined solely by time preference. He maintained that time valuation was prerequisite to the determination of the market rate of interest, and he emphasized the time valuation element in all consumption and production choices. Fetter taught at Cornell University, Indiana University, and Stanford University. He was the first chairman of Princeton University's Department of Economics and Social Institutions, an interdisciplinary department that incorporated history, politics, and economics.

    As one of the most beloved American teachers of Buddhism, Sylvia Boorstein brings warmth, humor, and real-life honesty to the principles of mindfulness and spiritual practice. In this joy-filled conversation, she shares her insights on how we can be more accepting of the negative patterns in our minds, and find happiness regardless of the challenges we face. She explains: “The point of practice is not to keep the mind unconfused, because that’s not going to work. We’re going to keep getting confused, startled, broadsided by life all the time. So it’s not about not getting confused. It’s about recognizing that I’ve become confused and then doing something to reestablish the clarity in the mind that enables my own innate goodness to manifest itself.” With personal stories about her own foibles as well as her wisdom, Dr. Boorstein helps us realize how each of us can make moment-to-moment changes that alter the way we see ourselves and the world around us.

    How To Find Your Passion - 23...

    Imagine being able to finally find your passion and have complete clarity about what you were meant to do. There is a short-cut to finding your passion and that is asking the right questions. Einstein once said, “If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask; for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes." You may be asking yourself, ‘Why should I focus on a question when what I really want is an answer.’ It’s simple. Answers come from questions and the quality of any answer is directly determined by the quality of the question. Ask the wrong question, get the wrong answer. Ask the right question, get the right answer. In a serendipitous meeting with Billy Ray Cyrus (country music singer and actor), Michelle Kulp discovered her passion simply because Billy Ray asked her the right question at the right time. Until then, she was living life in survival mode, living paycheck-to-paycheck, feeling deeply unfulfilled, purpose-less and passion-less. Within a short time after her meeting with Billy Ray she found the answer she was looking for and her entire life changed!This book is full of life-altering questions designed to uncover your passion and purpose. 
    Here’s a sample of what you’ll discover in this book:Three tools to connect you to your inner wisdom so you can get the guidance you need.How time on the clock can lead you directly to your passions.The unique ways your energy is giving you hidden messages.How to know when your soul is speaking to you.Ways to break free from all the distractions so you can find your passion.Why going small can help you go big.How negatives contain important messages which can show you how to get to the positives.And so much more!
