Lead Designer's Handbook The Lead Designer and Design Management

Lead Designer's Handbook The Lead Designer and Design Management

How can the Lead Designer redefine what they do using a digital world to provide profoundly different and new services? This book analyses at all of these questions setting out how the Lead Designer can perform effectively and efficiently in the digital world addressing clients’ new whole life project requirements and new ways of constructing and assembling buildings. Managing increasing numbers of specialists in the construction process requires experience to ensure that their contributions are properly managed and produced at the right time. This book considers this challenge. It will also consider how the Lead Designer can effectively lead and manage health and safety aspects and risks (the principal designer role in UK regulations). | Lead Designer's Handbook The Lead Designer and Design Management

The Kind Leader A Practical Guide to Eliminating Fear Creating Trust and Leading with Kindness

The Kind Leader A Practical Guide to Eliminating Fear Creating Trust and Leading with Kindness

Kindness and leadership aren’t often synonymous. Ask someone to describe good leadership to you and you will hear many adjectives used: authentic bold challenging charismatic decisive empowering fearless goal-oriented humble inspiring original passionate role-model strategic and transparent to name of a few. And though there are many more that come to mind kindness isn’t one of them. And here’s the problem with that. Leaders lead. And the way a leader leads – how they do what they do – influences those they lead. From the president of the country to the president of a company from middle managers right down to front-line supervisors what a leader models – how they think speak and act – influences the people they lead. Leaders who think speak and act unkindly give legitimacy and permission to those they lead to think speak and act in exactly the same unkind ways. Today in a world where a leaders’ words and actions travel quickly through social media channels such as Twitter their influence – unkind or kind – is amplified through repeated views and sharing. In an increasingly fragmented polarized and divided world we need leaders who will bring people together not divide them. Leaders who value and model cooperation and collaboration over competition. And who model ways to think kindly speak kindly and act kindly. We need kindness to become synonymous with good leadership. So that when someone is asked to describe the traits of a good leader kindness will be the first word that comes to mind. Essentially the purpose of this book is to teach leaders how to lead with kindness so they can influence the people they lead to create kinder workplaces organizations and the world. Each chapter contains a mixture of theory case studies and reflections from leaders and the people they influence. As well the book follows the fictional stories of Kay’La Janson and Kevin Landrell as they become leaders in a failing organization that is ultimately turned around through kind leadership. Between chapters there are a series of practical exercises based on concepts presented in the previous chapter with space to record outcomes and reflections on the practice process. This book gives you a deep theoretical understanding of the importance of leading with kindness and also provides practical exercises for you to use to turn theory into practice. Because change means doing things differently and because we only really learn by doing to create kinder organizations kinder communities and a kinder world leaders must be able to begin practicing kindness right away. By the time you finish the book you will feel confident in your ability to lead with kindness and also to address organizational problems at work at home and in the community with kindness. | The Kind Leader A Practical Guide to Eliminating Fear Creating Trust and Leading with Kindness

Advocacy for Social Change Coalitions and the Organizations That Lead Them

Advocacy for Social Change Coalitions and the Organizations That Lead Them

This book portrays how small geographically dispersed and progressive social change and social service organizations working within a coalition can influence national-level social policies. Based on extensive empirical research on two national organizations and their local affiliates one focusing on affordable housing and the other working to protect lower-income communities this book shows the ways in which professionally staffed organizations that coordinate coalitions come about and describes their work to mobilize coalition members to lobby and advocate providing information analysis and instruction to facilitate such action and in so doing becoming the public voice for the social change efforts of coalitions. Advocacy for Social Change details the characteristics of these organizations that the author has labeled as focal catalytic coalition organizations and then provides numerous examples of campaigns led by them on affordable housing and economic justice; campaigns that illustrate tactics that other social change organizations can emulate. As such it will appeal to scholars of sociology with interests in social problems social action political sociology urban studies community development and organizing while extending the literature on interest group lobbying. | Advocacy for Social Change Coalitions and the Organizations That Lead Them

Authentic Diversity How to Change the Workplace for Good

Authentic Diversity How to Change the Workplace for Good

The nation has transformed. The calls for racial equity are loud and insistent and they are now being listened to. And yet companies across the country are still far behind when it comes to equity in the workplace. For decades we've heard variations on the same theme on how to increase diversity and inclusion and we have still not moved. If we want equity to matter inside and outside the workplace if we want to be real allies for change then we need a new approach. We need to stop following trends. We need to lead change. In Authentic Diversity culture change expert and diversity speaker Michelle Silverthorn explains how to transform diversity and inclusion from mere lip service into the very heart of leadership. Following the journey of a Black woman in the workplace leaders learn the old rules of diversity that keep failing her and millions like her again and again and the new rules they must put in place to make success a reality for everyone. A millennial immigrant and Black woman in America Michelle will show you how to lead a space centered on equity allyship and inclusion and how together we can build a new organization and nation centered on justice. | Authentic Diversity How to Change the Workplace for Good

Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

Finger-wagging moralizers say the love of money is the root of all evil. They assume that making a lot of money requires exploiting others and that the best way to wash off the resulting stain is to give a lot of it away. In Why It’s OK to Want to Be Rich Jason Brennan shows that the moralizers have it backwards. He argues that in general the more money you make the more you already do for others and that even an average wage earner is productively “giving back” to society just by doing her job. In addition wealth liberates us to have the best chance of leading a life that’s authentically our own. Brennan also demonstrates how money-based societies create nicer more trustworthy and more cooperative citizens. And in another chapter that takes on the new historians of capitalism Brennan argues that wealthy nations became wealthy because of their healthy institutions not from their horrific histories of slavery or colonialism. While writing that the more money one has the more one should help others Brennan also notes that we weren’t born into a perpetual debt to society. It’s OK to get rich and it’s OK to enjoy being rich too. Key Features Shows how the desire to become wealthy in an open and fair market helps maximize cooperation and lessens the chance of violence and war Argues that it is much easier for the average for-profit business to add value to the world than it is for the average non-profit Demonstrates that the kinds of virtues (e. g. conscientiousness thoughtfulness hard work) that lead to desirable personal and civic states (e. g. happy marriages stable families engaged citizens) also make people richer Argues that living in small clans for most of their history has given humans a negative attitude towards anyone acquiring more than her fair share an attitude that’s ill-suited for our market-driven globally connected world In a final provocative chapter maintains that ideal economic growth is infinite. | Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

Why It's OK to Be a Sports Fan

Why It's OK to Be a Sports Fan

This book offers readers a pitch-side view of the ethics of fandom. Its accessible six chapters are aimed both at true sports fans whose conscience may be occasionally piqued by their pastime and at those who are more certain of the moral hazards involved in following a team or sport. Why It’s OK to Be a Sports Fan wrestles with a range of arguments against fandom and counters with its own arguments on why being a fan is very often a good thing. It looks at the ethical issues fans face from the violent or racist behavior of those in the stands to players’ infamous misdeeds to owners debasing their own clubs. In response to these moral risks the book argues that by being critical fans followers of a team or individual can reap the benefits of fandom while avoiding many of the ethical pitfalls. The authors show the value in deeply loving a team but also how a condition of this value is recognizing that the love of a fan comes with real limits and responsibilities. Key Features Provides an accessible introduction to a key area of the philosophy of sport Closely looks at some of the salient ethical concerns around sports fandom Proposes that the value of community in partisan fandom should not be underestimated as a key feature of the good life Examines how the same emotions and environments that can lead to violence are identical to those that lead to virtuous loyalty Argues for a fan’s responsibility in calling out violence or racist behavior from their fellow fans | Why It's OK to Be a Sports Fan

Leading with Compassion How to Make Leadership Authentic by Managing with Integrity

Leading with Compassion How to Make Leadership Authentic by Managing with Integrity

Business schools teach the transactional tools one needs to work in business. They teach various strategic planning and decision-making models such as SPACE or SWOT or decision trees or weighted grids. They teach about the various functions of an organization financial ratios and breakeven analyses. And they may even have a class on business ethics. But those tools are more about knowing where the business-case boundaries are as a risk prevention measure and do not help one to think about how they should comport themselves as a leader. This book is about helping you to become your best self and helping those around you to achieve their best. Inherently it’s about authenticity integrity and empathy and how these simple traits can lead to high performance. The book explores ways to make our leadership more authentic and to lead with integrity. It discusses how to mentor employees and how this can lead to higher-performing teams and more successful organizations. The book is organized around four major constructs. The first is about personal leadership. It starts with honesty and integrity. That provides the basis for an empathetic leadership style. This is one that helps to engage followers and brings them along because they want to come along for the journey rather than feeling forced. That is the nature of the second construct: building and maintaining high-performing teams. This is then the basis for building a trusting culture. Change is all around us and that can be exhausting. Building a culture of trust is the first step toward building an agile organizational culture. That is the third construct. Finally the last is a message of simple optimism. There are many challenges facing society today but with thoughtful engaging leaders there is hope that we can collectively rise to the challenge. | Leading with Compassion How to Make Leadership Authentic by Managing with Integrity

From Trust to Trustworthiness

From Trust to Trustworthiness

Trust is an essential component of social life and yet political polarization and social tensions can easily lead to its erosion. The articles collected in this volume throw a new light on the fundamentals of trust and trustworthiness and thus help us understand better the conditions and the limits of trust. The book brings together some of the best recent thinking on trust from across a broad spectrum of approaches and concerns. The essays range from the more abstract discussions of the conditions and nature of trust to its application to our social and political lives in general alongside more subject specific approaches such as trust in the media. Trust is a thick concept with both epistemic and normative content and significance and several chapters engage with the ethical features of trust in distinct ways and also show the central role of trust in our decision-making. There is also an engagement with the phenomenological approach of Husserl in conjunction with Margaret Gilbert’s theory of political obligation. The final chapter by Onora O’Neill one of the pioneers of the discussions of trust and trustworthiness in recent philosophy links the topic of trust to the central issue of the conditions of trustworthiness. Given the paramount significance of the exercise of trust in our daily lives this book will be of interest to philosophers and non-philosophers alike. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Philosophical Studies. | From Trust to Trustworthiness

Dystopia and Economics A Guide to Surviving Everything from the Apocalypse to Zombies

Government collapsing? Zombies hunting you down? Everyone you know killed by a global epidemic? Not to worry! Economics holds the keys to survival. Often known as the dismal science it is particularly equipped to reveal order in what seems like chaos. Economists observe human behaviour: what leads us to take action and the subsequent consequences. However the choices made by individuals are not made in isolation; they influence and are influenced by the actions of others. A set of rules even if unwritten guides human behaviour. Foundational economic principles stand firmly in place even when society is breaking down and an understanding of these basic tenets of societies is essential to surviving the end of the world as we know it. In this book the authors draw from popular culture to show economic principles at work in the dystopian societies depicted in The Walking Dead Mad Max: Fury Road The Hunger Games Divergent A Clockwork Orange and Last Man on Earth. In each society its members face resource and social constraints that incentivize particular behaviours and lead to predictable outcomes. How does human behaviour change when resources are severely limited the legal system breaks down or individual freedom is stifled? The examples presented here shed an eerie light on the principles that guide our actions every day. Dystopia and Economics: A Guide to Surviving Everything from the Apocalypse to Zombies provides a user-friendly introduction to economics suitable for a general audience as well as devoted students of the discipline. | Dystopia and Economics A Guide to Surviving Everything from the Apocalypse to Zombies

How to Make Maps An Introduction to Theory and Practice of Cartography

How to Make Maps An Introduction to Theory and Practice of Cartography

The goal of How to Make Maps is to equip readers with the foundational knowledge of concepts they need to conceive design and produce maps in a legible clear and coherent manner drawing from both classical and modern theory in cartography. This book is appropriate for graduate and undergraduate students who are beginning a course of study in geospatial sciences or who wish to begin producing their own maps. While the book assumes no a priori knowledge or experience with geospatial software it may also serve GIS analysts and technicians who wish to explore the principles of cartographic design. The first part of the book explores the key decisions behind every map with the aim of providing the reader with a solid foundation in fundamental cartography concepts. Chapters 1 through 3 review foundational mapping concepts and some of the decisions that are a part of every map. This is followed by a discussion of the guiding principles of cartographic design in Chapter 4—how to start thinking about putting a map together in an effective and legible form. Chapter 5 covers map projections the process of converting the curved earth’s surface into a flat representation appropriate for mapping. Chapters 6 and 7 discuss the use of text and color respectively. Chapter 8 reviews trends in modern cartography to summarize some of the ways the discipline is changing due to new forms of cartographic media that include 3D representations animated cartography and mobile cartography. Chapter 9 provides a literature review of the scholarship in cartography. The final component of the book shifts to applied technical concepts important to cartographic production covering data quality concepts and the acquisition of geospatial data sources (Chapter 10) and an overview of software applications particularly relevant to modern cartography production: GIS and graphics software (Chapter 11). Chapter 12 concludes the book with examples of real-world cartography projects discussing the planning data collection and design process that lead to the final map products. This book aspires to introduce readers to the foundational concepts—both theoretical and applied—they need to start the actual work of making maps. The accompanying website offers hands-on exercises to guide readers through the production of a map—from conception through to the final version—as well as PowerPoint slides that accompany the text. | How to Make Maps An Introduction to Theory and Practice of Cartography
