More Human - Jacqueline Carter, Rasmus Hougaard
AI has the potential to transform leadership and the human experience of work—or to lead us into an automated and uninspiring work reality. Which one will it be?Humans have always been good at inventing tools that change the way we live and work—though not always good at adapting to those changes. Consider how the internet has given us instant access to gigabytes of data and yet has made us more distracted. Or how social media has enabled us to be more connected than ever, and yet it can also alienate or isolate us. Will the power of AI create a new era of robotic, impersonal efficiency, or will it catalyze a renaissance, redefining leadership and the world of work?So far, that question has mostly prompted a wave of anxiety about the disappearance of jobs and the loss of humanness in our work lives. But as founder and Managing Partner of Potential Project Rasmus Hougaard and Senior Partner Jacqueline Carter show in this essential book, that''s a very limited perspective on the impact of AI, leaving out a crucial point: AI has the power to transform leadership for the better—the key is in how leaders use it.By delegating tasks to AI ...

The Mind of the Leader - Jacqueline Carter, Rasmus Hougaard
Join the global movement that''s making corporations more people-centric to achieve great results.The world is facing a global leadership crisis. Seventy-seven percent of leaders think they do a good job of engaging their people, yet 88 percent of employees say their leaders don''t engage enough. There is also a high level of suffering in the workplace: 35 percent of employees would forgo a pay raise to see their leaders fired.This is an enormous waste of human talent--despite the fact that $46 billion is spent each year on leadership development.Based on extensive research, including assessments of more than 35,000 leaders and interviews with 250 C-level executives, The Mind of the Leader concludes that organizations and leaders aren''t meeting employees'' basic human needs of finding meaning, purpose, connection, and genuine happiness in their work.But more than a description of the problem, The Mind of the Leader offers a radical, yet practical, solution. To solve the leadership crisis, organizations need to put people at the center of their strategy. They need to develop managers and executives who lead with three core mental qualities: mindfulness, selflessness, and compassion.Using real-world inspirational examples from Marriott, Accenture, McKinsey & Company, LinkedIn, and many more, The Mind of ...

More Human - Steve Hilton, Jason Bade, Scott Bade
Both campaigns are treating people like simpletons. In More Human, read the truth about Brexit, from someone who really knows.In this powerful manifesto, Steve Hilton argues that the frustrations people feel with government, politics, their economic circumstances and their daily lives are caused by deep structural problems with the systems that dominate our modern world – systems that have become too big, bureaucratic and distant from the human scale. He shows how change is possible, offering us a more human way of living.

Uniquely Human: Updated and Expanded - Barry M. Prizant
Winner of the Autism Society of America’s Dr. Temple Grandin Award for the Outstanding Literary Work in Autism A groundbreaking book on autism, by one of the world’s leading experts, who portrays autism as a unique way of being human—this is “required reading...Breathtakingly simple and profoundly positive” (Chicago Tribune).Autism therapy typically focuses on ridding individuals of “autistic” symptoms such as difficulties interacting socially, communication problems, sensory challenges, and repetitive behavior patterns. Now, this updated and expanded edition of Dr. Barry M. Prizant’s Uniquely Human tackles new language such as shifting from “person-first language” to “identity-first language,” diversity of identity in the autism sphere, and the future of autistic advocacy by amplifying the voices of autistic and neurodivergent individuals. “A must-read for anyone touched by autism…Dr. Prizant’s Uniquely Human is a crucial step in promoting better understanding and a more humane approach” (Associated Press). Instead of classifying “autistic” behaviors as signs of pathology, Dr. Prizant sees them as part of a range of strategies to cope with a world that feels chaotic and overwhelming. Rather than curb these behaviors, it’s better to enhance abilities, build on strengths, and offer supports that will lead to more desirable behavior and a better quality ...

Two hundred and fifty years ago the Industrial Revolution replaced our arms and legs at work. The fourth Industrial Revolution is now replacing our brains. This technological shift is engulfing organisations and people. It''s challenging the very essence of what it means to be human.

A Human Algorithm - Flynn Coleman
A Human Algorithm examines the immense impact intelligent technology will have on humanity. These machines, while challenging our personal beliefs and our socio-economic world order, also have the potential to transform our health and well-being, alleviate poverty and suffering, and reveal the mysteries of intelligence. International human rights attorney Flynn Coleman deftly argues that it is critical we instil values, ethics, and morals into our robots and other forms of AI. A clarion call for building a more humane future and moving conscientiously into a new frontier of our own design.

Ženy, náboženství, násilí a moc - Jimmy Carter
V knize se bývalý americký prezident podrobně zabývá předsudky, diskriminací, násilím, zkresleným výkladem náboženských textů (Bible, Koránu a dalších), fyzickým a duševním týráním, chudobou, nemocemi a válkami z hlediska ženské nerovnosti, existující dnes na celém světě. Carter ukazuje, že muži sice s tímto stavem věcí mnohdy nesouhlasí, ale mlčí, aby si zachovali dominantní postavení. Jimmy Carter navštívil se svou ženou Rosalynn 145 zemí světa a společně založili neziskovou organizaci The Carter Center, která aktivně působí v polovině z nich. Měl příležitost seznámit se s lidmi z často velmi odlehlých vesnic v džunglích i pouštích. Dozvěděl se mnoho z jejich osobního života, zvláště to, že nerovnost mezi pohlavími roste stále rychleji a platí to stejnou měrou pro země bohaté i chudé. Carter si sice uvědomuje, že ekonomická nerovnost ve světě představuje čím dál větší problém, ale zároveň již dospěl k pevnému přesvědčení, že nejvážnějším a všeobecně opomíjeným problémem se celosvětově staly deprivace a týrání žen i dívek, jež převážně povstaly z falešného výkladu některých náboženských textů a rostoucí tolerance vůči násilí a válkám - podle jeho slov naneštěstí tento příklad světu poskytly samotné Spojené státy americké.

Heroes and Villains - Angela Carter
A modern fable, a post-apocalyptic romance, a gothic horror story; Angela Carter''s genre-defying fantasia Heroes and Villains includes an introduction by Robert Coover in Penguin Modern Classics.Sharp-eyed Marianne lives in a white tower made of steel and concrete with her father and the other Professors. Outside, where the land is thickly wooded and wild beasts roam, live the Barbarians, who raid and pillage in order to survive. Marianne is strictly forbidden to leave her civilized world but, fascinated by these savage outsiders, decides to escape. There, beyond the wire fences, she will discover a decaying paradise, encounter the tattooed Barbarian boy Jewel and go beyond the darkest limits of her imagination. Playful, sensuous, violent and gripping, Heroes and Villains is an ambiguous and deliriously rich blend of post-apocalyptic fiction, gothic fantasy, literary allusion and twisted romance.Angela Carter (1940-92) was born in Eastbourne and later evacuated to live with her grandmother in Yorkshire. She read English at Bristol University, and after escaping an early marriage went to live in Japan for a number of years.

The Long Shadow of Extraction - Christopher L. Carter
How resistance to extraction shaped Indigenous demands for autonomy, integration, or assimilationFrom the onset of colonialism, Indigenous communities have faced seizure of their land, labor, and resources by non-Indigenous actors. In The Long Shadow of Extraction, Christopher Carter argues that the native groups’ resistance to extraction took distinct forms, and that this variation explains why some communities demanded autonomy while others demanded integration or assimilation. Countering existing scholarship that assumes a universal demand for autonomy, Carter shows that some Indigenous communities in fact refused government offers to recognize their local political authority and longstanding economic institutions. Carter argues that contemporary Indigenous demands were forged in early twentieth-century efforts to resist extraction. Drawing on two emblematic Latin American cases, Peru and Bolivia, Carter shows that in communities where traditional Indigenous leaders organized resistance, ethnic mobilization occurred and gave rise to enduring demands for autonomy, or state recognition of Indigenous identities and institutions. In communities where unions and leftist parties organized resistance, class-based mobilization became the norm. This led communities to reject autonomy and demand instead integration (state recognition of Indigenous identities but not Indigenous institutions) or assimilation (state recognition of neither Indigenous identities nor institutions). Carter’s groundbreaking account of Indigenous resistance ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Inchbald: The Way In - Jacqueline Duncan
Jacqueline Duncan founded the Inchbald School of Interior Design in 1960, and the Inchbald School of Garden Design in 1972. War-time experiences as a young evacuee living in grand English country houses kindled her fascination with buildings and gardens before she met and married Michael Inchbald, a leading interior decorator. Britain had no equivalent of the Parsons School of Design in the USA, so Jacqueline Duncan became determined to establish a school in London. An important component of Inchbald courses is interior design history, which Jacqueline Duncan outlines, explaining how the profession developed out of associated trades and gift ed amateurism. Many distinguished interior designers and garden designers are Inchbald graduates. Examples of their work are included in an appendix.
