Описание:

The best teachers are leaders, and the best leaders are teachers.

Teaching by Heart summarizes the author's key insights gained from more than forty years of teaching and managing. It illustrates how teachers can both lift people up and let them down. It proposes that the best teachers are also leaders, and the best leaders are also teachers.

In examining how to lead and teach, renowned Harvard Business School professor Thomas J. DeLong takes the reader inside his own head and heart. He notes that, as teachers, we often focus more on our inadequacies and missteps than on our strengths and unique talents. He explains why this is so by dissecting and analyzing his own experiences--using himself as a case study.

The book's goal is to help readers learn about the intricacies of teaching and managing, and to impart lessons about how teachers can create a unique teaching atmosphere. To do this, the author analyzes the process of creating a curriculum, preparing for an eighty-minute class, managing the fifteen minutes before class begins, and evaluating the nature of the teaching experience after the session concludes.

Along the way, he connects specific classroom behaviors with leadership issues--in organizations, in teams, and in personal relationships. He also asks--and answers--some provocative questions, such as:

• What happens on multiple levels when I teach or lead--with me, students, or professionals?
• What am I thinking and feeling as I process what students are thinking and feeling?
• How are my internal conversations affecting how I teach and lead?
• How do I manage my biases, including having "favorite" students?
• To what extent can I use teaching methods in the arena of management?

Throughout Teaching by Heart, DeLong discusses why empathy and authenticity matter. When teachers embrace this mindset, students have the opportunity to have a unique learning experience. Teachers and managers will learn how to create moments of transformation for students.

Whether you're a university professor, a student, a business leader, or just someone fascinated by teaching, this book will instruct, entertain, and--hopefully--inspire.

A Foreign Affairs Best Book of the Year

Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century is the most widely discussed work of economics in recent years. But are its analyses of inequality and economic growth on target? Where should researchers go from there in exploring the ideas Piketty pushed to the forefront of global conversation? A cast of leading economists and other social scientists--including Emmanuel Saez, Branko Milanovic, Laura Tyson, and Michael Spence--tackle these questions in dialogue with Piketty.

"An intellectual excursion of a kind rarely offered by modern economics."
--Melissa S. Kearney, Foreign Affairs

"Piketty's work... laid bare just how ill-equipped our existing frameworks are for understanding, predicting, and changing inequality. This extraordinary collection shows that our most nimble social scientists are responding to the challenge."
--Justin Wolfers, University of Michigan

"A fantastic introduction to Piketty's main argument in Capital, and to some of the main criticisms, including doubt that his key equation... showing that returns on capital grow faster than the economy―will hold true in the long run."
--Nature
