Becoming the Supervisor Achieving Your Company's Mission and Building Your Team

Becoming the Supervisor Achieving Your Company's Mission and Building Your Team

Becoming a Supervisor tells the story of Trevor who works as one of the production team in a small company that makes toy boats. He is thrust into the role of supervisor unexpectedly when his general manager reacts to his constant suggestions of how things could be better. When the GM becomes ill Trevor struggles to take up the slack for several months until a new GM arrives. The core of the book follows Trevor’s growth under the coaching of Julie his new GM. As Trevor deals with one challenge after another Julie guides him on a journey to learn the core skills needed by all front-line leaders. The reader takes away four key ideas: (1) Front-line leadership skills are not too complicated to learn. (2) These skills are something that they can develop in themselves regardless of what their organization does. (3) Tools and skills are there to help solve real business problems; implementing the tools is not a strategy. (4) In your role as supervisor (directing or responsible for others) you have to look after the mission of the company AND look after your people – doing only one is not an option. Essentially this book is intended to give hope to a new supervisor or team lead. They will finish the book knowing that the skills they need can be learned and aren’t that difficult to acquire. It is designed to introduce the central skills that any supervisor has to be able to master at least with a basic working competency: instructing leading and making improvements in their own area. It introduces some of the more widely used tools that a new supervisor may need. More importantly it ties these tools and skills to solving particular problems. Readers will understand that the tools are not important for their own sake but only to the extent that the tools serve the larger objective of the organization. This book is designed to give the reader an entertaining and hopeful story about the very difficult transition from worker to supervisor from being one of the crew to directing the crew. It is an emotionally tough transition and the idea that someone could see a model of how it can work out will be helpful to folks new in a leadership role. Finally the book provides a reference to other sources of information that will let the reader extend their learning about each of the tools or skills referenced in the contents. | Becoming the Supervisor Achieving Your Company's Mission and Building Your Team

Flop Musicals of the Twenty-First Century Part I: The Creatives

Flop Musicals of the Twenty-First Century Part I: The Creatives

Flop Musicals of the Twenty-First Century offers a provocative and revealing historical narrative of a group of musicals that cost millions and had spectacular potential . but bombed anyway. Stephen Purdy examines at length the production histories which are all bound together by a common thread. The book focuses the lens on several seemingly infallible theatre creatives who weren’t destined to repeat their successes with the shows discussed in this volume. As such Purdy grounds the discussion by examining what the legendary creators of Les Misérables pop superstar Elton John wunderkind Julie Taymor and many others have in common besides being inspired storytellers of iconic Broadway musicals. The answer is that they also all created shows that for one reason or a dozen didn’t find an audience. Flop Musicals of the Twenty-First Century shares the story of what can happen when formidable creative teams of sell-out musicals attempt to re-create their success but miss the mark. This is an engaging book for students practitioners and fans of musical theatre that contains thoughtful observations about luck and creative differences botched adaptations and alienated audiences all of which can determine the fate of a musical. | Flop Musicals of the Twenty-First Century Part I: The Creatives

Living Architecture Living Cities Soul-Nourishing Sustainability

Living Architecture Living Cities Soul-Nourishing Sustainability

It’s widely accepted that our environment is in crisis. Less widely recognized is that three quarters of environmental damage is due to cities – the places where most of us live. As this powerful new book elucidates global sustainability is therefore directly dependent on urban design. In Living Architecture Living Cities Christopher Day and Julie Gwilliam move beyond the current emphasis on technological change. They argue that eco-technology allows us to continue broadly as before and only defers the impending disaster. In reality most negative environmental impacts are due to how we live and the things we buy. Such personal choices often result from dissatisfaction with our surroundings. As perceived environment has a direct effect on attitudes and motivations improving this can achieve more sustainable lifestyles more effectively than drastic building change – with its notorious performance-gap limitations. As it’s in places that our inner feelings and material reality interact perceived environment is place-based. Ultimately however as the root cause of unsustainability is attitude real change requires moving from the current focus on buildings and technology to an emphasis on the non-material. Featuring over 400 high quality illustrations this is essential reading for anyone who believes in the value and power of good design. Christopher Day’s philosophy will continue to inspire students with an interest in sustainable architecture urban planning and related fields. | Living Architecture Living Cities Soul-Nourishing Sustainability
