This book discusses critical thinking as a tool for more compassionate leadership, presenting tried and tested methods for managing disagreement, for anticipating and solving problems, and for enhancing empathy. Employing a lighter tone of voice than most management books, it also shows how and when less-than-rational mechanisms such as intuition and heuristics may be efficient decision-making tools in any manager’s toolbox. Critical thinking is useful for analyzing incoming information in the context of decision-making and is crucial for structuring outgoing information in the context of persuasion. When trying to convince a client to buy a service, an executive board to fund a project, o...
The leading traits of executives often include creativity and innovation. Research shows that intuition can significantly enhance these traits. Developing intuitive executives and honing intuition, coupled with the ability to apply data and evidence to inform decision making, is the focus of Developing the Intuitive Executive: Using Analytics and Intuition for Success. Some researchers call the complement of applying data analytics to intuition as quantitative intuition, rational intuition, or informed intuition. Certainly, in today's data-driven environment, analytics plays a key role in executive decision-making. However, an executive’s many years of experiential learning are not formall...
This book explores the science behind intuitive decision-making in business, and shows how people's innate capacity for intuition can be nurtured and strengthened to maximize performance. The clear and detailed explanations reveal how we can use intuition to navigate a world that is fast-moving, complex, and uncertain.
"Courage: Your Right Hook" by Martin Stark is a powerful exploration of bravery. As a gay man who has faced life-threatening illnesses, Stark offers a unique perspective on courage. He breaks it down into six fundamental pillars: emotional, physical, moral, empathetic, steadfast, and cerebral, and provides the steps to make courage a habit. This book is more than a recount of Stark's journey from hospital beds to founding the World Gay Boxing Championships. It's a hands-on guide that empowers readers to integrate courage into their daily lives, introducing the PACE framework (Purpose, Action, Confidence, Excellence) for cultivating and sustaining courage. Stark demonstrates courage through personal stories, historical references, and natural examples. Each chapter offers actionable strategies for readers to apply in their own lives. This book is more than a memoir or self-help book; it's a potent catalyst for personal transformation. Stark challenges readers to embrace vulnerability, stand firm in their values, and practice courage daily.
Andreea Roșca: Acum mai mult de zece ani am început o călătorie în mintea, în sufletul și în psihologia unor oameni care mi s-au părut atunci – și mi se par și astăzi – remarcabili. De-a lungul a sute de conversații, mare parte dintre ele publice, mi s-a dezvăluit o întreagă lume de credințe, decizii, feluri de a fi și de a gândi care făcea posibilă performanța acestor oameni pe care îi admiram. Fără să-mi dau seama de la început, am fost mereu fascinată de o idee mai mare, de o curiozitate continuă în fața unei întrebări care nu a încetat să mă anime: cum e posibil să creezi ceva din nimic? Și cum putem deveni, fiecare dintre noi, mai buni în a cre...
requiring the adaptation of probabilistic maps to design ground motions; and (d) the generalization of design parameters to locations where there is little seismic history. Maximum displacements, velocities, and, based on the European Build ing Code EC8, design ground acceleration maps have thus been produced by ZivCic et al. for Slovenia, Marku§ic et al. for Croatia, Bus et al. for Hungary, and Radulian et al. for Romania. The last two contributions in the volume are dedicated to studies of local site effects that could affect the microzonation of large urban areas. Moldoveanu et al. employed a technique based on the modal summation and finite dif ferences to calculate the expected ground ...
This book covers all the major aspects associated with pathophysiological development of cardiac arrhythmias (covering enhanced or suppressed automaticity, triggered activity, or re-entry), from basic concepts through disease association, limitations of current pharmacotherapy and implant therapies and on-going trials and analysis of new biomarkers based on current knowledge of cellular interaction and signalling. The book describes novel and state-of-the-art methods for differentiating between the major types of arrhythmia, structural abnormalities and current practice guidelines and determination of risk stratification associated with sudden cardiac death. A particular focus is on arrhythmias associated with atrial fibrillation and includes details of associations with cardiac disease, current detection, analysis and imaging and future perspectives.
