the elemental leader tyler comeau

This book is a comprehensive leadership development book that reimagines the classical elements of Earth, Air, Water, and Fire as metaphors for effective leadership principles. The project focuses on helping leaders unlock their leadership potential by grounding their practices in these elemental principles. Each element represents a principle. Earth symbolizes core values and grounded mindsets, Air relates to overcoming adversity and perseverance, water embodies adaptability and change processes, and fire represents innovation, motivation, decision-making, and risk management. The book weaves personal anecdotes, case studies, supporting research, and actionable strategies to provide a holistic guide for leadership growth. The structure of the book is built around four major chapters, each dedicated to one of the elements. Within each chapter, the content is organized into multiple case studies of real-world leaders. For example, the Earth chapter analyzes Howard Schultz’s leadership at Starbucks and Indra Nooyi’s value-driven leadership at PepsiCo. Each case study includes sections on the relevance (why it matters), supporting research, and actionable strategies. This bridges the theoretical world with the practical application of lived experiences. Readers are encouraged to take part in the interactive tasks within each chapter for the purpose of optimizing their organizations. Key benefits of the book ... Unknown localization key: "more"

In the wake of losing her husband of four decades, estrangement from her daughter, and a string of other deaths, Carol Tyler descended into grief. Being an artist by vocation, she transformed her grief in the only way she could - through artistic expression. Exploring realms metaphorical, half-imagined, and all-too real, she processes her loss and distress through dissociations and hard work alike and combines the two into a magnum opus of aching art. Tyler explores not just her grief, but our grief, and the idea of grieving in a work that is both painfully intimate and philosophically rich. An artistic advancement nearly forty years into Tyler''s comics-making career, The Ephemerata features Tyler''s most breathtaking picture making ever - fine, dense brush lines complemented with occasional colour washes or highlights - and formally stunning cartooning. Combining art and text in multiple ways - in the traditional comics panel grid, as words-and-illustration, as organically flowing images surrounded by floating text - she depicts the inner monologue of a fallible human being grappling with questions of profound relevance. Tyler''s memoirist skills also rise to the fore, excavating and colliding scenes from her history, delineating with sensitive intuition ways in which the inevitability ...

Within authoritarian regimes, a collective leadership is a lesser evil compared with a personal dictatorship. Within democracies, although ‘strong leaders’ are seldom as strong or independent as they purport to be, the idea that just one person is entitled to take the big decisions is harmful and should be resisted.Examining Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mikhail Gorbachev, Deng Xiaoping and Nelson Mandela, Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair amongst many others, this landmark study pinpoints different types and qualities of leadership. Overturning the popular notion of the strong leader, it makes us rethink preconceptions about what it means to lead.
