Third Generation Leadership and the Locus of Control Knowledge Change and Neuroscience

Third Generation Leadership and the Locus of Control Knowledge Change and Neuroscience

There have been two critical leadership approaches. First Generation Leadership (command and control) was the dominant model until the 1940s. Second Generation Leadership (compliance coupled with rewards and punishments) is still dominant today. This approach is being rejected by 'Generation Y ' threatening the longevity of traditional organisations. In Third Generation Leadership and the Locus of Control Douglas Long acknowledges the need for a leadership approach that elicits engagement commitment and enhanced personal group and organisational accountability. This is Third Generation Leadership. At its core lies the issue of where we centre our brain's locus of control and how this impacts on our understanding of and approach to leadership. With examples from everyday situations underpinned by research this book is about understanding and applying aspects of neuroscience critical for tomorrow's world. It provides a framework for addressing problems through insights into how the way we use our brains affects values worldviews and behaviours. The author introduces the concept of 'red zone - blue zone' to explain the differences between a brain controlled by its stem-limbic areas (red zone) and the limbic-cortical cortex areas (blue zone). This becomes a short hand for describing and applying knowledge from neuroscience to encourage practitioners in leadership and management roles to achieve desired outcomes through becoming acquainted with different areas of their brain. Anyone grappling with what is required to deal with Generation Y people in a networked and mobile age will welcome this introduction to the world of third generation leadership. | Third Generation Leadership and the Locus of Control Knowledge Change and Neuroscience

Business Strategies for the Next-Generation Network

Business Strategies for the Next-Generation Network

Carriers and service providers have united around the concept of the Next-Generation Network (NGN). Although leveraging a broad basket of Internet technologies the NGN is not being planned as the next-generation Internet. In its intention and architecture it is more accurately described as Broadband-ISDN release 2. 0. The NGN transition is hard for both practitioners and observers to understand because it weaves together a number of distinct strands: the development of a new architecture and technology base including advanced IT automation systems the development of a portfolio of ‘new wave’ products and services which exploits the power of the new network the design of a new kind of organization which can utilize the higher levels of automation in the NGN and reduce costs and the development of an effective transition plan which can smoothly move operators from their current legacy networks systems and processes to the NGN future. The book begins with a review of the failures of previous attempts by carriers to retool for the future. It describes in detail the technologies and capabilities supporting “new wave’” services focusing particularly on multimedia interactive services TV and Video-on-Demand. The author looks at the IMS layer and how it interworks both downwards into the QoS-enabled IP transport layer and upwards to enable new kinds of applications. However equal attention is addressed to the business models of players in the value chain carriers service providers broadcasters and production companies. The author then examines how carriers have attempted to remodel themselves as IP companies along the dimensions of people processes and IT automation systems describing the lessons to be learned from numerous failures.

American Graffiti George Lucas the New Hollywood and the Baby Boom Generation

American Graffiti George Lucas the New Hollywood and the Baby Boom Generation

Combining a detailed film analysis with archival research and social science approaches this book examines how American Graffiti (1973) a low-budget and star-less teen comedy by a filmmaker whose only previous feature had been a box office flop became one of the highest grossing and most highly acclaimed films of all time in the United States and one of the key expressions of the nostalgia wave washing over the country in the 1970s. American Graffiti: George Lucas the New Hollywood and the Baby Boom Generation explores the origins and development of the film its form and themes as well as its marketing reception audiences and impact. It does so by considering the life and career of the film’s co-writer and director George Lucas; the development and impact of the baby boom generation to which he many of his collaborators and the vast majority of the film’s audience belonged; the transformation of the American film industry in the late 1960s and 1970s; and broader changes in American society which gave rise to an intense sense of crisis and growing pessimism across the population. This book is ideal for students scholars and those with an interest in youth cinema the New Hollywood and George Lucas as well as both Film and American Studies more broadly. | American Graffiti George Lucas the New Hollywood and the Baby Boom Generation

The Pictures Generation at Hallwalls Traces of the Body Gender and History

The Pictures Generation at Hallwalls Traces of the Body Gender and History

In this book Vera Dika rewrites the story of the Pictures Generation from the perspective of the Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center in Buffalo NY. Her work is based on interviews with living artists archival research and personal collections including films videotapes and sound recordings. At once aesthetic cultural and political this renewed perspective asks new questions and rewrites past assumptions about the artists’ work. The legendary members of the East Coast Pictures Generation emerged at Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center in Buffalo in the mid-1970s. These young people had started Hallwalls an artist-run organization that invited artists from a variety of mediums to show their work. It also featured productions by the founding members themselves: Robert Longo Charles Clough Cindy Sherman Nancy Dwyer and Michael Zwack. The works discussed in the volume include performance video films painting music and literature and have been chosen because of the way they foreground states of the body in relationship to conditions of their medium. As a distinguishing feature of Hallwalls artists’ work the practice uses these traces to make metaphors on the process of mechanical reproduction itself. The Hallwalls artists’ work also gives testament to Buffalo and to New York City the cities that formed their historical contexts. This book will be of interest to scholars working in art history performance studies film studies and gender studies. | The Pictures Generation at Hallwalls Traces of the Body Gender and History

The Precarious Generation A Political Economy of Young People

The Precarious Generation A Political Economy of Young People

This book draws on a wealth of evidence including young people’s own stories to document how they are now faring in increasingly unequal societies like America Britain Australia France and Spain. It points to systematic generational inequality as those born since 1980 become the first generation to have a lower standard of living than previous generations. While governments and experts typically explain this by referring to globalization new technologies or young people’s deficits the authors of this book offer a new political economy of generations which identifies the central role played by governments promoting neoliberal policies that exacerbate existing social inequalities based on age ethnicity gender and class. The book is a must read for social science students human service workers and policy-makers and indeed for anyone interested in understanding the impact of government policy over the last 40 years on young people. | The Precarious Generation A Political Economy of Young People
