How China's political model could prove to be a viable alternative to Western democracy Westerners tend to divide the political world into "good" democracies and “bad” authoritarian regimes. But the Chinese political model does not fit neatly in either category.

How do the ideals of political meritocracy set the standard for evaluating political progress (and regress) in China? How can China avoid the disadvantages of political meritocracy? And how can political meritocr...
When he was young, consultant Bill Treasurer feared heights. He overcame his fear and became a high-diving champion. Every day for seven years, Treasurer would climb to the top of a 100-foot tower (as tall as a 10-story building). From there, at a speed of more than 50 miles per hour, he'd dive head-first into a 10-foot deep pool. He became the captain of the US High Diving Team. Now, he teaches managers how to be brave and how to imbue their workers with courage. In this tenth-anniversary edition of his bestseller on building courage in the workplace, Treasurer jokes that he hopes to enroll his readers in the "Fraternal Order of Courageous Managers."

The results can be nothing short of transformative.

Daishinji, desse modo, cria para ele um perfeito mundo de papel: um oceano, algas marinhas, um polvo e muitas outras criaturas. Não obstante, o peixe de papel suplica-lhe que seja libertado em um oceano de verdade, para saber que sensação tem a água e desvendar os mistérios das profundezas do mar. Embora relutante, guardando em si a convicção de que "coisas imaginárias têm de permanecer em lugares imaginários" e acreditando que o peixe de papel será destruído, Daishinji...
