The Leadership Wheel: Five Steps for Achieving Individual and Organizational Greatness
C. Clinton Sidle Manufacturer: Palgrave Macmillan ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 1403969191 Release Date: 2005-08-25 |
Amazon.com
It's a new world: after decades of evolution, the leadership theory taught by business schools across the country seems hardly recognizable anymore. Would-be CEOs, it seems, can no longer content themselves with beating competitors, winning market share, and growing profits. In this new world, the most effective leaders are expected to exercise keen emotional intelligence and do nothing else than help improve the lives of colleagues and surrounding societies. Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee popularized this idea with their bestseller, Resonant Leadership, and those who enjoyed that book will likely want to investigate fellow academic C. Clinton Sidle's addition to the literature, The Leadership WheelSidle's ambitions become clear early in the book, when he quotes not just pedestrian business leaders but Czech playwright and Nobel laureate Vaclav Havel. "The salvation of this world lies nowhere else but in the human heart Without a global revolution of consciousness nothing will change for the better, and the catastrophe towards which this world is headed will be unavoidable." Sidle's leadership theory begins from a sweeping view of human nature and what he describes as the "evolutionary urge to become." The Cornell professor uses historical examples from a variety of fields to illustrate his point that when this urge becomes directed only to self-aggrandizing ends, people become dissatisfied. We must search for greater purpose. In that purpose, Sidle argues, leadership finds it truest extensions, and society finds its greatest value.
The "leadership wheel" to which the book's title refers rests on 5 roles, or stages, through which leaders develop. Sidle has developed his research on the roles through an extensive consulting practice and years of work with Cornell's MBA students, and many businesspeople will find the concepts familiar and resonant with other, similar exercises they may have done. Like many good business books, Sidle's calls not just for reading but active participation. The text contains numerous exercises and quizzes on which readers can explore their leadership personae and "fit" with different segments of the leadership wheel, and many will appreciate this hands-on approach to learning.
Throughout the text, Sidle exhorts his audience to embrace the emergent realities of the leadership environment: the fact that old command-and-control structures have lost ground to less hierarchical and more democratic organizational designs, and that leadership students are increasingly required to understand and even to speak language of self-actualization, both for themselves and their followers. While not all will agree with Sidle's ideas, few will be able to deny their popularity in today's world, and the need to adapt to them in one way or the other. Reading The Leadership Wheel provides a good start. --Peter Han

Negotiating Europe's Immigration Frontiers (Immigration and Asylum Law and Policy in Europe, Volume 3)
Barbara Melis Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 9041116141 |
Book Description
The European Union has become a region of intense immigration and the movements of third country nationals from outside or within the territory of the Member States has jumped to the top of EC/EU political agenda. Important EC/EU measures have been adopted concerning the most important aspects in the area of immigration since the late eighties. The movements of third country nationals have nonetheless been regulated by EC law, although incidentally, since the origin of the Communities. The analysis covers fifty years of Community immigration history and it studies the changes in the immigration movements themselves and, in particular, of their regulation under EC/EU law. The volume focuses on the factors that have contributed to and that are shaping emerging European immigration policy. It seeks to evaluate the real impact of old and, especially, new rules on racial and ethnic minority groups and women. An EU integrated policy covering all aspects related to third country nationals does not exist but very important steps, consolidated in the Amsterdam Treaty, have been taken over the last decade (1989/1999). The strategy which should be adopted at EU level is not very clear or coherent due to the complexity of the area itself and because of the different approaches of the EU Institutions on the answer to give to immigration issues. The book shows that although some gaps remain in the labyrinth of EC/EU immigration rules, the main trend, imposed principally by the Member States, is towards the creation of a White Fortress Europe.

Introduction to the Study of Dinosaurs
Anthony J. Martin Manufacturer: Blackwell Publishing, Incorporated ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0632044365 |
Book Description
This highly accessible introduction to dinosaurs places scientific method at the crux of the studies, teaching students about scientific research and principles as they learn about dinosaurs. Now in its second edition, the text includes updates on recent finds, increased coverage of evolution and physiology, an expanded and improved illustration program, and is in color throughout.Beginning with foundational chapters on the scientific method and the context of dinosaurs, the text then proceeds with detailed discussions of dinosaur anatomy, taphonomy, evolution, physiology, and ichnology. The book also examines five select clades of dinosaurs, and finishes by covering birds as modern dinosaurs and dinosaur extinctions. Intended for both majors and nonmajors, this textbook balances scientific rigor with real-world examples which show how dinosaurs lived and died as well as what happened to them after they died.Features of this new edition include:Everyday scenarios at chapter openings which set the stage for chapter contentDedicated web page, www.blackwellpublishing.com/dinosaurs, with interactive material and all art in downloadable form (art also available to instructors on CD-ROM)End-of-chapter discussion questionsEasy-reference glossaryNew references at the end of each chapterHigh-quality, full-color figures and photographs throughoutCustomer Reviews:
great dinosaur book for technical readers.......2003-09-10
Another Dinosaur Textbook?.......2001-09-20
Another dinosaur textbook? This book competes directly with older dinosaur textbooks by Spencer Lucas and Fastovsky & Weishampel, as well as quasi-textbooks like the one by Dingus & Rowe. Martin's book covers much of the same ground, but has a different overall focus. Whereas F & W's text is largely focused on dinosaurs themselves, Martin's new book focuses largely on using dinosaurs to teach broader, more all-encompassing concepts. In fact, it does this to such a degree that the title might better be "Introduction to Science via Dinosaurs." Of the 16 chapters in the book, only 11-15 deal directly with the different groups of dinosaurs. (A better organization for the book might be to put these chapters much earlier in the book, since the terms detailed in them are used in most of the earlier chapters!) Other chapters discuss topics of great importance to paleontologists, and therefore certainly deserve coverage in a book such as this! They include discussions of how science works (in the context of defining things and scientific methodology, Chapters 1-2), how/why paleo and geology are sciences (Chap. 3), history of dinosaur studies (Chap. 4), anatomy, histology & classification (Chap. 5), taphonomy (Chap. 6), ichnology (Chap. 7), eggs & nests (Chap. 8), feeding habits (Chap. 9), evolution (Chap. 10), and extinctions plus birds as dinosaurs (Chap. 16). Some concepts are covered elsewhere in the book, too (e.g., histology in the theropod chapter, genetics in the evolution chapter, paleobiogeography covered throughout the text, etc.)
Aside from the above criticism, the organization of the book is pretty good. Each chapter opens with a hypothetical scenario designed to illustrate the importance of understanding the material presented in each chapter; the chapters end with summaries, suggested review/discussion questions and, in many cases, URLs for further information. The book contains numerous pictures and schematics, mostly in color (though most photos are, sadly, shrunken, darkened, and restricted to the page margins such that things described in the captions are invisible in the actual photo) - color photos are largely absent in other dinosaur textbooks (but their inclusion in Martin's book is probably the culprit for the high price for a cloth-back book!) Key terms (and names) are presented in bold throughout the book, though a few of the terms emphasized are rarely, if ever, used in day-to-day paleontology (e.g., "panaramittee"). There is a fairly extensive glossary and a nicely complete index.
The text is quite explanatory, and mostly straightforward. In many instances, it's downright lighthearted (particularly in figure captions, which often use things like "English professors" for scale!)
One thing that Martin's book presents that may scare some readers away is a quantity of math (algebra). Math is virtually absent in other dinosaur texts, but is used well here to demonstrate how paleontologists can quantify and analyze various aspects of their research (e.g., calculating the discharge and momentum of moving water to explain taphonomic sorting, speed as determined from footprints, the volume of an ellipsoid egg, Archimedes' displacement principle, and how radiometric ages are determined). Martin thoughtfully breaks using each equation into basic, numbered steps (something even most math books never do), making the appearance of the math much less daunting. Of course, for everything Martin covers in the book, one could easily complain that any one subject is not detailed enough, or that some things were not covered at all, but as with all dinosaur textbooks, one must keep in mind that typical undergraduate courses, for which this book is clearly designed, are meant to do precisely what this book does: use dinosaurs as a locus for introducing many other sciences...that's "introducing," not "covering exhaustively." Even the 16 chapters in this book may be too many for a standard 12-week semester!
The book is enough up-to-date to include important new finds as the feathered Caudipteryx, new Jurassic ankylosaurs, etc.) It is also quite even-handed in covering "hot-button" topics (e.g. presenting both the "pro-" and "anti-theropod" points of view on bird origins, as well as scientific ethics, including private collecting).
Martin's book is a serious contender in the small but growing realm of texts aimed at using dinosaurs to introduce students to science as a whole. It is less "dinocentric" than others, but perhaps that is for the better, because it thus more adequately covers other scientific disciplines, thus providing a better overall tour through science as a whole. Martin notes in his preface that he considers himself an educator above all else, and this book clearly is intended to educate. Only the shrunken photos and rather prohibitive price (for a non-hardback) hold it back.
