Habits of Leadership
by Art MarkmanIn his internationally acclaimed book, Smart Thinking, which examines the gap between innate intelligence and acquired mental skills, Art Markman presented a three-part formula to show readers how to develop "smart habits", how to acquire high quality knowledge, and how to use that knowledge when it's needed. Now, Markman takes his scientifically-based formula one step further to demonstrate the correlation between personality and habits, and the impact of personality and habits on leadership potential and innovation success. Habits of Leadership explores the "Big 5" personality characteristics -- Extroversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Openness, and Emotional Stability -- as well as other key variables such as person's ability to acquire and use knowledge or the level of one's tolerance to risk. Using a unique personality profiler, readers are able to determine their strengths and weaknesses and then apply this understanding to develop smart habits. Great leaders have key traits that influence their success. People who are Extroverts can serve as effective advocates for ideas. Those who are low in Agreeableness are willing to tell people things that they do not want to hear, and so facilitate open and honest lines of communication. People high in Conscientiousness get things done. They ensure that a project once started is completed.. Those who are high in Openness and are able to acquire and use knowledge through reasoning, intuition, or perception tend to be good change-makers. Their breadth of knowledge allows them to communicate ideas from a wide variety of sources to innovate and solve problems. And leaders possessed of emotional stability have the clear-mindedness and confidence to navigate through any storm. Individuals who demonstrate these traits and who have developed habits that serve them well, are extraordinary. Yet the potential for greatness is within everyone. Habits of Leadership will show anyone how to develop and use these exceptional gifts.
Habits of the Heartland: Small-Town Life in Modern America
by Lyn C. Macgregor"So, how do Americans in a small town make community today? This book argues that there is more than one answer, and that despite the continued importance of small-town stuff traditionally associated with face-to-face communities, it makes no sense to think that contemporary technological, economic, and cultural shifts have had no impact on the ways Americans practice community life. Instead, I found that different Viroquans took different approaches to making community that reflected different confluences of moral logics--their senses of obligation to themselves, to their families, to Viroqua, and to the world beyond it, and about the importance of exercising personal agency. The biggest surprise was that these ideas about obligation and agency, and specifically about the degree to which it was necessary or good to try to bring one's life into precise conformance with a set of larger goals, turned out to have replaced more traditional markers of social belonging like occupation and ethnicity, in separating Viroquans into social groups. "--from Habits of the Heartland Although most Americans no longer live in small towns, images of small-town life, and particularly of the mutual support and neighborliness to be found in such places, remain powerful in our culture. In Habits of the Heartland, Lyn C. Macgregor investigates how the residents of Viroqua, Wisconsin, population 4,355, create a small-town community together. Macgregor lived in Viroqua for nearly two years. During that time she gathered data in public places, attended meetings, volunteered for civic organizations, talked to residents in their workplaces and homes, and worked as a bartender at the local American Legion post. Viroqua has all the outward hallmarks of the idealized American town; the kind of place where local merchants still occupy the shops on Main Street and everyone knows everyone else. On closer examination, one finds that the town contains three largely separate social groups: Alternatives, Main Streeters, and Regulars. These categories are not based on race or ethnic origins. Rather, social distinctions in Viroqua are based ultimately on residents' ideas about what a community is and why it matters. These ideas both reflect and shape their choices as consumers, whether at the grocery store, as parents of school-age children, or in the voting booth. Living with--and listening to--the town's residents taught Macgregor that while traditional ideas about "community," especially as it was connected with living in a small town, still provided an important organizing logic for peoples' lives, there were a variety of ways to understand and create community.

Habitussondierung als reflexiv-rekursive Bildungstheorie: Eine interdisziplinäre Abhandlung über Lern- und Bildungsprozesse von Tradern
by Nils SchreweDie Frage, auf welche Art und Weise sich an der Börse Geld verdienen lässt, gilt bisweilen vor allem als ein viel diskutiertes Thema innerhalb der ökonomischen Disziplin. Dies führt allerdings bisweilen dazu, dass viele Aspekte menschlicher Handlungsvollzüge entlang der Subjektfigur des Homo Oeconomicus ausgeblendet werden. Innerhalb dieser Studie wird daher in Folge einer wissenschaftstheoretischen Erörterung finanz- und erziehungswissenschaftlicher Paradigmata dafür plädiert, das Thema Finanzspekulation aus einer bildungsbiografischen Perspektive zu beleuchten. Auf der Grundlage von 10 biografischen Interviews mit eigenverantwortlich handelnden Tradern liegt somit erstens erstmals eine wissenssoziologische Studie zu der Frage, welchen habituellen Lern- und Bildungsprozessen Menschen beim Trading unterliegen, vor. Zweitens wird innerhalb derselben ein phasenhafter Verlauf biographischer Bildungsprozesse im Kontext eines Engagements an der Börse erstellt und drittens anhand eines Wechselverhältnisses von Theorie und Empirie eine reflexiv-rekursive Bildungstheorie der Habitussondierung entworfen.

¿Hablamos?: Conversaciones necesarias para que las relaciones y los equipos funcionen
by Ferran Ramón-Cortes Alex Galofré¿Cuánto conocemos de los demás? ¿Cuánto explicamos de nosotros? ¿Por qué decimos que sí cuando queremos decir que no? ¿Por qué personas que tienen habilidades probadas de buena comunicación, en el contexto de una determinada relación de grupo funcionan mal?

Y en su conquista de la plena confianza. Porque las empresas que funcionan, los grupos que funcionan, las familias que funcionan o las parejas que funcionan se basan siempre en relaciones personales que funcionan.
Hablan los chinos. Historias reales para entender a la futura potencia del mundo: Historias Reales Para Entender A La Futura Potencia Del Mundo
by Ana FuentesUna obra coral resultado de una magnífica labor periodística que desentraña los misterios de un país desconocido aún hoy para Occidente. Un disidente torturado por la policía, un joven millonario nacionalista, un emigrante que cruza el país en busca de trabajo, un viejo maestro de kung-fu que ha dejado de entrenar por la contaminación, una campesina que se prostituye para pagar la educación de su hijo... ¿Quiénes son los chinos? La periodista Ana Fuentes, que ha sido corresponsal de la Cadena SER en Pekín, recoge en Hablan los chinos el testimonio en primera persona de ciudadanos que han decidido romper su silencio y hablar de la realidad de su país -su relación con la familia, con el poder, con el resto del mundo-. Historias reales de individuos de distinto nivel cultural y poder adquisitivo que impactan por lo insólito, que emocionan y que ponen fin a muchos clichés. Una obra coral resultado de una magnífica labor periodística que desentraña los misterios de un país desconocido aún hoy para Occidente. China ha crecido vertiginosamente en los últimos años hasta convertirse en la segunda economía mundial. En 2008 fue sede de los Juegos Olímpicos, su puesta de largo ante la comunidad internacional entre censura, represión de los activistas y unos niveles de corrupción desorbitados. Una China tan nueva como milenaria que trata de superar los traumas del colonialismo extranjero, las hambrunas del Gran salto hacia delante y las atrocidades de la Revolución Cultural. «Ganarme su confianza no fue fácil: algunos nunca habían dirigido la palabra antes a un extranjero. Tras meses intensos de charlas, paseos y alguna persecución policial acabaron hablándome abiertamente de sus metas y de sus frustraciones. Éste es el resultado». Ana Fuentes
Hablar de todo y no saber de nada: Las tertulias y la nueva política
by Joan LópezEl papel de la tertulia española en el mundo mediático y político: ¿fuente de información o intoxicación mediática? Las tertulias fueron en el pasado un género minoritario creado con la voluntad de ofrecer información complementaria acerca de los temas de actualidad. Sin embargo, el feroz mundo mediático del siglo XXI ha obligado a las tertulias a cambiar de formato hasta convertirlas en un espectáculo que se emite en horas de máxima audiencia. Al conquistar la parrilla televisiva, las tertulias han derivado en puro entretenimiento dónde la opinión y la confrontación ideológica parecen ser los ingredientes del éxito. ¿Quién determina la línea editorial de los programas?¿La tertulia es fuente de información o es intoxicación mediática?¿Existe el tertuliano libre?¿Cómo se llega a ser tertuliano?¿Cómo se preparan las tertulias?¿Qué pasa en las cadenas de televisión pública? En este fascinante ensayo, Joan López analiza el papel de la tertulia en nuestro país mediante una serie de capítulos divulgativos y polémicos que ponen en entredicho su contribución efectiva al debate público ya que parecen regirse más por el sesgo ideológico que marcan sus respectivas cadenas que por una voluntad honesta de análisis de la actualidad política y social.

Hacker Culture and the New Rules of Innovation
by Tim RaynerFifteen years ago, a company was considered innovative if the CEO and board mandated a steady flow of new product ideas through the company’s innovation pipeline. Innovation was a carefully planned process, driven from above and tied to key strategic goals. Nowadays, innovation means entrepreneurship, self-organizing teams, fast ideas and cheap, customer experiments. Innovation is driven by hacking, and the world’s most innovative companies proudly display their hacker credentials. Hacker culture grew up on the margins of the computer industry. It entered the business world in the twenty-first century through agile software development, design thinking and lean startup method, the pillars of the contemporary startup industry. Startup incubators today are filled with hacker entrepreneurs, running fast, cheap experiments to push against the limits of the unknown. As corporations, not-for-profits and government departments pick up on these practices, seeking to replicate the creative energy of the startup industry, hacker culture is changing how we think about leadership, work and innovation. This book is for business leaders, entrepreneurs and academics interested in how digital culture is reformatting our economies and societies. Shifting between a big picture view on how hacker culture is changing the digital economy and a detailed discussion of how to create and lead in-house teams of hacker entrepreneurs, it offers an essential introduction to the new rules of innovation and a practical guide to building the organizations of the future.

The Hacker Ethic and the Spirit of the Information Age: A Radical Approach to the Philosophy of Business
by Pekka HimanenThe Hacker Ethic takes us on a journey through fundamental questions about life in the information age - a trip of constant surprises, after which our time and our lives can be seen from unexpected perspectives. Nearly a century ago, Max Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism articulated the animating spirit of the industrial age, the Protestant ethic. In the original meaning of the word, hackers are enthusiastic computer programmers who share their work with others; they are not computer criminals. Now Pekka Himanen - together with Linus Torvalds and Manuel Castells - articulates how hackers represent a new opposing ethos for the information age. Underlying hackers' technical creations - such as the Internet and the personal computer, which have become symbols of our time - are the hacker values that produced them. These values promote passionate and freely rhythmed work; the belief that individuals can create great things by joining forces in imaginative ways; and the need to maintain our existing ethical ideals, such as privacy and equality, in our new increasingly technologized society.
