Leadership is not a solo sport. It is about people and how they engage with each other -- not the individual leader or their ego. Becoming an Emotionally Intelligent leader is about shifting your mindset for success. As a technical expert, your performance was measured by how much information you knew. As a leader, you are now measured by how well your team performs. The transition from me to we can be difficult. This is a normal reaction, and it takes time to shift the mindset.Creating an EVEN Greater Whole: Becoming an Emotionally Intelligent Leader offers managers a different perspective and some tools they can use to more easily navigate their own leadership journey toward becoming an Emotionally Intelligent leader.The book begins by exploring different traits attributed to leaders and then discusses the practical application of Emotional Intelligence (EI) and human-based leadership skills. From this starting point, it introduces the leadership basics of aligning your vision and communicating your message that enables people to work collaboratively. The book also addresses how to handle people with different communications and working styles, as well as how to best motivate people, so they fully engage and bring their best self into the workplace. It also provides tools to minimize potentially explosive situations that accompany uncertainty, risk, and conflict. The book concludes with a look at the human element of leaders and how leaders use their unique style to navigate the unknown.

Winner of the Internationl Association for Jungian Studies (IAJS) Book Award for Best Clinical Book 2021The Absent Father Effect on Daughters investigates the impact of absent – physically or emotionally – and inadequate fathers on the lives and psyches of their daughters through the perspective of Jungian analytical psychology. This book tells the stories of daughters who describe the insecurity of self, the splintering and disintegration of the personality, and the silencing of voice.Issues of fathers and daughters reach to the intra-psychic depths and archetypal roots, to issues of self and culture, both personal and collective. Susan E. Schwartz illustrates the maladies and disappointments of daughters who lack a father figure and incorporates clinical examples describing how daughters can break out of idealizations, betrayals, abandonments and losses to move towards repair and renewal. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, expanding and elucidating Jungian concepts through dreams, personal stories, fairy tales and the poetry of Sylvia Plath, along with psychoanalytic theory, including Andre Green’s ‘dead father effect’ and Julia Kristeva’s theories on women and the body as abject.Examining daughters both personally and collectively affected by the lack of a father, The Absent Father Effect on Daughters is highly relevant for those wanting to understand the complex dynamics of daughters and fathers to become their authentic selves. It will be essential reading for anyone seeking understanding, analytical and depth psychologists, other therapy professionals, academics and students with Jungian and post-Jungian interests.

In her short story collection, Even Greater Mistakes, Charlie Jane Anders upends genre cliches and revitalizes classic tropes with heartfelt and pants-wettingly funny social commentary. The woman who can see all possible futures is dating the man who can see the one and only foreordained future.A wildly popular slapstick filmmaker is drawn, against his better judgment, into working with a fascist militia, against a background of social collapse. Two friends must embark on an Epic Quest To Capture The Weapon That Threatens The Galaxy, or else they’ll never achieve their dream of opening a restaurant. The stories in this collection, by their very outrageousness, achieve a heightened realism unlike any other. Anders once again proves she is one of the strongest voices in modern science fiction, the writer called by Andrew Sean Greer, “this generation’s Le Guin.”

And they do so in a way that translates easily to any type of organization. Highly recommended!"Alan Robinson, co-author of Ideas Are Free and The Idea-Driven Organization Despite the vast library of knowledge on Lean tools and models, the majority of Lean implementations fail to sustain themselves over time for lack of a functioning management system. In turn, when organizations try to apply a prescribed, one-size-fits-all, management system they inevitably find that what works for others may not work quite as well in their unique situation. Putting the right pieces in the right places is the prime challenge for every organization and no two successful management systems will, or should, be the same.This book provides and examines core principles that must be in place for an organization to find what an effective management system should constitute for them. It outlines key elements and how they work together as a necessary system to achieve overall success.Based on their extensive experience with organizational development and hands-on leadership in policy deployment, TWI and Kata, the authors describe their own journey in helping organizations discover and develop systems that function like well-designed and smooth-running machines while capturing the humanistic aspects of the foundational skills that emphasize the inherent synergy of the system. Readers will learn to help their own organizations "connect the dots" between the various pieces of Lean methodology and effectively create their own management systems that ultimately fulfil customers’ needs and expectations.

An adventurous collection that examines how the design field has consistently failed to attract and support Black professionals—and how to create an anti-racist, pro-Black design industry instead.An Anthology of Blackness examines the intersection of Black identity and practice, probing why the design field has failed to attract Black professionals, how Eurocentric hegemony impacts Black professionals, and how Black designers can create an anti-racist design industry. Contributing authors and creators demonstrate how to develop a pro-Black design practice of inclusivity, including Black representation in designed media, anti-racist pedagogy, and radical self-care. Through autoethnography, lived experience, scholarship, and applied research, these contributors share proven methods for creating an anti-racist and inclusive design practice. The contributions in An Anthology of Blackness include essays, opinion pieces, case studies, and visual narratives. Many contributors write from an intersectional perspective on race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and ability. Each section of the book expands on community-driven concerns about the state of the design industry, design pedagogy, and design activism. Ultimately, this articulated intersection of Black identity and Black design practice reveals the power of resistance, community, and solidarity—and the hope for a more equitable future. With a foreword written by design luminary Elizabeth (Dori) Tunstall, An Anthology of Blackness is a pioneering contribution to the literature of social justice.ContributorsKprecia Ambers, Jazmine Beatty, Anne H.

Navalny. Lenin. Pugachev. The Russian rebel – in his epic battle against the Leviathan of the Russian state – has enthralled readers and writers for decades. The rebel's story is almost always a sad one that ends in exile, imprisonment, or martyrdom, leaving but a seed for the future reform of the Leviathan which he or she had taken on. Why do revolts – from the Decembrist uprising to the Snow Revolution that brought Alexei Navalny to the forefront of contemporary Russian politics – seem to end up failing or producing an even worse form of despotism? In reality, the brave words and deeds of dissidents have shaped the course of Russian history more often than we might think. Through the stories of prominent rebels from the time of Ivan the Terrible to the present day, as well as her own experiences reporting on her country’s decent into authoritarianism, Russian-American journalist Anna Arutunyan explores how the rebel and the Tsar defined each other through a centuries-long dance of dissent and repression. These characters and their lives not only reveal the true nature of the Russian state, they also offer hope for a future Russian democracy. Also available as an audiobook.

In 1943, she entrusted her collection of paintings to a friend. In October of that year, she was captured and deported to Auschwitz, where she and her unborn child were gassed to death upon arrival.It's My Whole Life covers Charlotte's remarkable life from her childhood and art school days to her time as a refugee in Nazi-occupied France, where she created the largest single work of art created by a Jew during the Holocaust.

For his work, he has received six Tony nominations, three Grammys, and three Academy Awards. The Musical Theater of Stephen Schwartz: From Godspell to Wicked and Beyond is a detailed examination of Schwartz’s various projects throughout his career. Musicologist Paul R. Laird discusses at length Schwartz’s major shows and also considers his other ventures, such as the music and lyrics for animated features from Disney and Dreamworks. The book focuses on two major aspects of Schwartz’s creations: the process of collaboration resulting in a project’s completion and a descriptive analysis of his music and lyrics. Laird also describes each show’s critical reception and its place in the larger history of musical theater. Based on extensive interviews with Schwartz and a number of his major collaborators, this book provides a rare look into the creation of the composer and lyricist’s shows and films. The Musical Theater of Stephen Schwartz is intended for fans as well as students and professional researchers in music, theater, and the musical theater.

Would you like to understand the deeper spiritual meaning of physical illness, parenting handicapped children, drug addiction, alcoholism, the death of a loved one, accidents, deafness, and blindness? Your Soul’s Plan (which was originally published under the title Courageous Souls: Do We Plan Our Life Challenges Before Birth?) explores the premise that we are all eternal souls who plan our lives, including our greatest challenges, before we are born for the purpose of spiritual growth. Through compelling profiles of people who knowingly planned the experiences mentioned above, Your Soul’s Plan shows that suffering is not purposeless, but rather imbued with deep meaning. Working with four gifted mediums, author Robert Schwartz reveals the significance of each person’s life plan and allows us a fascinating look into the “other side.”Each personal story focuses on a specific life challenge, organized by type for easy reference. Accessible both to those familiar with the metaphysical aspects of spirituality and to the general reader, the moving narratives that comprise Your Soul’s Plan help readers awaken to the reality that they are transcendent, eternal souls. With this stirring book as a guide, feelings of anger, resentment, guilt, and victimization are healed and transformed into acceptance, forgiveness, gratitude, and peace. Robert Schwartz is also the author of Your Soul’s Gift: The Healing Power of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born, which explores the pre-birth planning of spiritual awakening, miscarriage, abortion, caregiving, abusive relationships, sexuality, incest, adoption, poverty, suicide, rape, and mental illness. There’s also a chapter about the pre-birth planning we do with our future pets. Robert Schwartz is a hypnotherapist who offers general Spiritual Guidance Sessions, Past Life Soul Regressions, and Between Lives Soul Regressions.

Kniha představuje 50 nejběžnějších, výzkumem podložených chyb, kterých se psychoterapeuti ve své praxi dopouštějí.Nespokojenost s terapeutem je častým důvodem pro předčasné ukončení terapie. Navíc většina terapeutů nemá představu, proč jejich klienti odešli. Dobrou zprávou ale je, že dnes již existuje řada prozkoumaných strategií, které míru předčasného ukončení terapie snižují. Mezi nejčastější chyby patří: neznat vlastní limity, ignorovat vědu, poškozovat terapeutický vztah, nepečovat o hranice, dopouštět se špatného časování, nepředcházet vlastnímu vyhoření a mnoho dalších. Kromě jejich popisu autoři zároveň nabízejí k úvaze, jak se jich vyvarovat. Jde o užitečný text především pro psychoterapeuty v praxi a studenty v terapeutickém výcviku, knihu ale využijí také psychologové a pracovníci v pomáhajících profesí.

Kniha je úvodem do tzv. systémů vnitřní rodiny (Internal Family Systems, IFS), který dnes patří mezi uznávané psychoterapeutické přístupy. IFS zpochybňuje představu jednotné identity a zdůrazňuje existenci různých části v jednom člověku (např. vnitřní dítě, vnitřní kritik, vnitřní sabotér). Tyto části jsou na sobě do jisté míry nezávislé a záleží na koherenci našeho já, jestli z nich dovede utvořit dostatečně vyvážený a zvládnutý celek. Jednou ze základních autorových myšlenek je, že tyto části nejsou samy o sobě nikdy patologické, i když mohou přispívat k jedincovu narušení. Mnoho z nich se vyvinulo v průběhu jedincova dětství na jeho obranu, a když je zbavíme jejich zátěže, mohou se opět stát tím, čím v zásadě jsou – našimi pomocníky. IFS je vhodným přístupem např. pro práci s traumaty, závislostmi, depresí či úzkostí. Kniha z pera samotného zakladatele tohoto směru uvádí základní postupy při práci s IFS, ukázky z terapeutických rozhovorů i řadu cvičení. Richard Schwartz je původně systemický rodinný terapeut, který v osmdesátých letech 20. století v reakci na příběhy svých klientů vytvořil model Internal Family Systems (IFS). Je autorem řady knih a článků a zakladatelem IFS institutu.

Richard C. Schwartz je tvůrcem směru zvaného terapie systémů vnitřní rodiny (IFS). Lidská psychika se podle něj vyznačuje existencí vnitřních částí, které se někdy projevují extrémními způsoby (zneužívání látek, disociace, sebepoškozování, perfekcionismus, posedlost vzhledem, vyhýbání se konfliktům a mnoho dalších). Tím, že se klient naučí těmto částem naslouchat, se jejich projevy stávají méně destruktivními a začíná se u nich projevovat důvod, proč původně vznikly – aby jedinci prospívaly. Předkládaný manuál poskytuje vodítka pro práci s klienty, kteří zažili trauma, narušení vazby a různé další psychické obtíže. Stručně a přehledně předkládá kazuistiky, techniky, přehledy, tipy, diagnostické postupy a cvičení terapeutům různých směrů. Metoda IFS je zakotvená v neurovědách, využívá přirozené vnitřní zdroje klienta a podporuje to, aby k sobě člověk zaujímal soucitný postoj. Kniha je určena pro psychoterapeuty či klienty, kteří se chtějí inspirovat metodou IFS.
