We would all love to know how to deal with the problems that threaten to
stall or destroy our business projects. When we encounter roadblocks,
we often have the sense that they could have been anticipated. Are we
too focused upon solving issues, instead of preventing them?
With candour, insight, and a touch of humour, Henrik Gruber shares reallife
case studies with a focus on what does or doesn't work and highlights the
issues, questions and pitfalls most commonly faced by companies today.
Co-author Alexander Birke provides further insight and suggests innovative
and effective methods and solutions the reader can set in motion straight away.
Contributing authors offer fresh perspectives based on their diverse areas of
expertise, including organisational development, human resources, startups,
and leadership coaching, and consultation.
This book lays a groundwork for rooting out the issues that lie in plain
sight yet are so deeply embedded in company structures that we often fail
to see them before it is too late. Henrik and Alex explain why these prized
hierarchies are no longer working for us and propose approaches to start
tearing down those structures and building new networks and modes
of collaboration.
Drawing upon extensive industry experience and discussions with various
experts, Stumbling Across the Obvious unpacks the riddle of change in
organisations by examining what really makes them tick.

Описание:
New York Times bestselling author Michael Gruber, a member of the elite ranks of those who can both chill the blood and challenge the mind (The Denver Post), delivers a taut, multilayered, riveting novel of suspense
Somewhere in Pakistan, Sonia Laghari and eight fellow members of a symposium on peace are being held captive by armed terrorists. Sonia, a deeply religious woman as well as a Jungian psychologist, has become the de facto leader of the kidnapped group. While her son Theo, an ex-Delta soldier, uses his military connections to find and free the victims, Sonia tries to keep them all alive by working her way into the kidnappers' psyches and interpreting their dreams. With her knowledge of their language, her familiarity with their religion, and her Jungian training, Sonia confounds her captors with her insights and beliefs. Meanwhile, when the kidnappers decide to kill their captives, one by one, in retaliation for perceived crimes against their country, Theo races against the clock to try and save their lives.

Описание: Letter Jam is a 2-6 player cooperative word game where players assist each other in composing meaningful words from letters around the table. The trick is holding the letter card so that it`s only visible to other players and not to you.At the start of the game, each player receives a set of face-down letter cards that can be arranged to form an existing word. The setup can be prepared by using a special card scanning app, or by players selecting words for each other. Each player then puts their first card in their stand facing the other players without looking at it, and the game begins.The game is played in turns. Each turn, players simultaneously search other players` letters to see what words they can spell out (telling the others the length of the word they can make up). The player who offers the longest word can then be chosen as the clue giver.The clue giver spells out their clue by putting numbered tokens in front of the other players. Number one goes to the player whose letter comes first in the clue, number two to the second letter etc. They can always use a wild card which can be any letter, but they cannot tell others which letter it represents.Each player with a numbered token (or tokens) in front of them then tries to figure out what their letter is. If they do, they place the card face down before revealing the next letter. At the end of the game, players can then rearrange the cards to try to form an existing word. All players then reveal their cards to see if they were successful or not. The more players who have an existing word in front of them, the bigger their common success.

Описание: The art of Dusti Bongé was influenced by her experiences in three distinctive American cities: Biloxi, Mississippi; New Orleans, Louisiana; and New York, New York. In developing her artistic practice in these vibrant urban settings, she portrayed a unique "sense of place" in her work. In Dusti Bongé, Art and Life, which includes over five hundred color images, J. Richard Gruber documents Dusti Bongé's full career and her key role in the twentieth-century art world and in a highly creative family, including her husband, Archie (1901‒1936), her son, photographer Lyle Bongé (1929–2009), and her grandson, photographer Paul Bongé (b. 1963). Born in Biloxi in 1903, she died there in 1993, living on the family property where she was raised. After graduating from Blue Mountain College in 1922, she moved to Chicago and became an actress, then moved to New York to act on stage and in silent movies. She married artist Archie Bongé in 1928 and lived in New York until they moved to Biloxi in 1934 with their child, Lyle. Following Archie's premature death in 1936, she dedicated herself to working as an artist. Initially, she exhibited in New Orleans and Biloxi, then in New York, where she became affiliated with the famed Betty Parsons Gallery in 1946. There she was given a series of one-person exhibitions in the years from 1956 to 1975. Her art achieved national recognition through her shows at the Parsons Gallery, when New York replaced Paris as an international art center, and Abstract Expressionism became a leading influence in the art world. Dusti Bongé, Art and Life explores the full range of her creativity, extending from her stage acting to her activities in painting, sculpting, printmaking, sewing, writing, and poetry.

Описание: Surmountable is the first book explicitly written for the millions of people who have taken part in protests or demonstrations but were left wondering what they achieved, and the millions more who sat out events because they questioned the potential for results. The book addresses these lingering doubts and offers a powerful response in the voices of front line social activists, political thought leaders, and every day citizens. Surmountable chronicles the victories and setbacks of ten American and three international civic movements from the past century. Authors Brian Gruber and Adam Monier Edwards uncover the details behind some of history's most iconic events such as the Selma to Montgomery marches for civil rights, lesser known successes including one man's mission to resurrect an unratified Constitutional amendment, and insights from how citizens overcame seemingly insurmountable odds to achieve their goals. We visited 15 cities across four continents near where history was made to seek answers to burning questions such as: Is there an effective playbook for the modern activist? How are successes and failures measured? How universal are the value in the U.S. Constitution? What can we learn from activists from outside the U.S.? Selected interviewees include: Lucy Beard, Alice Paul Institute executive director Sam Walker, National Voting Rights Museum and Institute historian Colleen Sheehan, Villanova University professor, Heritage Foundation scholar, and 5-time author Dr. Todd Gitlin, Columbia University professor, sociologist, and 16-time author Gregory Watson, legislative analyst and driving force behind the 27th Amendment Brewster Kahle, Internet Archive founder and Alexa Internet co-founder Lamine Alibi, Tunisia Patriotic Democratic Unity Party central committee member Kalle Lasn, Adbusters co-founder and Occupy Wall Street co-creator Sergii Kharchuk, Euromaidan activist and Kyiv city councilman Dr. Hong-koo Han, Sungkonghoe University professor of Korean history and author Jay O'Neal, West Virginia teacher strike leader LaDonna Brave Bull Allard, Lakota historian, Standing Rock activist, and NoDAPL movement co-founder
