Описание: This book is about the how of project management and about how you as a project manager can use a proactive attitude to stay in control, even during difficult situations. It shows you how to become an influencer of the path to the end result, of your environment, of your team and of your effectiveness.Today`s project managers have to meet high expectations. Challenging goals, a strong focus on cost management and lead times, serving the interests of different stakeholders and many dependencies between subprojects make project management an increasingly complex affair - especially in an environment where change and uncertainty have become the new norm. In addition, the creative abilities of knowledge workers have to be optimally utilised, which requires less hierarchical organisational structures and more multidisciplinary collaboration. Having the right project management skills is therefore essential at virtually every level of an organisation.As a result of these challenges, there is a growing demand for comprehensive methods and the popularity of Agile is on the rise. On the other hand, the increased complexity also results in a need for simplicity. That is what this book is about: going back to the basics, being able to combine useful elements from different methods and focusing on the most important aspect of all: the person behind the project manager!This book contains a wealth of practical descriptions with useful examples and anecdotes. Readers are constantly stimulated to internalise the essence and put it into practice in a manner that suits their own style and personality. That is the only way to keep at it, be successful and make others believe in you!The book consists of three parts. Part 1 (chapters 1 to 4) describes how to set up and manage a project. The focus is on the basic principles, the essence of taking control, creating structure and using Agile behavior. Part 2 (chapters 5 and 6) explains how to draw up a plan and schedule in small steps, which results in improved completeness, coordination and support. Finally, part 3 (chapters 7 to 10) covers how to manage the project execution: how to realize the path to the final goal with a strict PDCA rhythm, how to evaluate the quality of interim results and how to keep your team and environment motivated.

Описание: This affordably-priced collection presents masterpieces of short fiction from 52 of the greatest story writers of all time. From Sherwood Anderson to Virginia Woolf, this anthology encompasses a rich global and historical mix of the very best works of short fiction and presents them in a way students will find accessible, engaging, and relevant.
My name is Manuel di Gioia, I am Italian, and I introduce you to the "Resilient Learning Method".
In psychology, resilience is man's ability to face life's adversities, to overcome them and to emerge from them strengthened and even positively transformed.
In "Resilient Learning Method", resilience is the ability of a child to learn new words and to be able to compose new sentences. When a child is born, he or she does not know the language or the laws that govern it. No grammatical basis. A vocabulary composed of blank and empty pages. Yet, in a short time, a child begins to learn a language unknown to him. Word after word. Phrase after phrase.
A child, with knowledge of the basic phrases and an adequate number of words, is able to modify and combine them.
What are the two things that happen at the beginning when the child starts experimenting? The child starts to understand any sentence very well, even those that have a new logical construct. The child begins to express himself and, despite many understandable mistakes, still manages to make himself understood.
These are the two results I want you to achieve with this book
With the "Resilient Method" I have not invented anything new and in this book I present to you what is already under the eyes of all. The only difference, compared to a child, is that an adult is able to read and consequently to take advantage of visual memory.
Do you want to learn Italian?
Forget the difficult grammar rules or the many verbal conjugations.
Learning to speak Italian in a perfect and fluent way cannot be done in a few days or even in a few years.
Too hard. I'm telling you, as an Italian.
But it is possible in a short time to understand this beautiful language and also to be understood. You just need to approach Italian as a child.
Here are the three steps I propose in this book:
basic rules
more than 1000 sentences divided by topic with more than 5000 words, more than enough to communicate in a simple way
finally 10 short stories composed only of words present in the book
I'm gonna ask you the question again.
Do you want to learn Italian or improve your vocabulary?

All societies have relied on music to transform the experience of work. Song accompanied the farmer's labors, calmed the herder's flock, and set in motion the spinner's wheel. Today this tradition continues. Music blares on the shop floor; song accompanies transactions in the retail store; the radio keeps the trucker going on the long-distance haul.
Now Ted Gioia, author of several acclaimed books on the history of jazz, tells the story of work songs from prehistoric times to the present. Vocation by vocation, Gioia focuses attention on the rhythms and melodies that have attended tasks such as the cultivation of crops, the raising and lowering of sails, the swinging of hammers, the felling of trees. In an engaging, conversational writing style, he synthesizes a breathtaking amount of material, not only from songbooks and recordings but also from travel literature, historical accounts, slave narratives, folklore, labor union writings, and more. He draws on all of these to describe how workers in societies around the world have used music to increase efficiency, measure time, relay commands, maintain focus, and alleviate drudgery.
At the same time, Gioia emphasizes how work songs often soar beyond utilitarian functions. The heart-wringing laments of the prison chain gang, the sailor’s shanties, the lumberjack’s ballads, the field hollers and corn-shucking songs of the American South, the pearl-diving songs of the Persian Gulf, the rich mbube a cappella singing of South African miners: Who can listen to these and other songs borne of toil and hard labor without feeling their sweep and power? Ultimately, Work Songs, like its companion volume Healing Songs, is an impassioned tribute to the extraordinary capacity of music to enter into day-to-day lives, to address humanity’s deepest concerns and most heartfelt needs.

While the first healers were musicians who relied on rhythm and song to help cure the sick, over time Western thinkers and doctors lost touch with these traditions. In the West, for almost two millennia, the roles of the healer and the musician have been strictly separated.
Until recently, that is. Over the past few decades there has been a resurgence of interest in healing music. In the midst of this nascent revival, Ted Gioia, a musician, composer, and widely praised author, offers the first detailed exploration of the uses of music for curative purposes from ancient times to the present. Gioia’s inquiry into the restorative powers of sound moves effortlessly from the history of shamanism to the role of Orpheus as a mythical figure linking Eastern and Western ideas about therapeutic music, and from Native American healing ceremonies to what clinical studies can reveal about the efficacy of contemporary methods of sonic healing.
Gioia considers a broad range of therapies, providing a thoughtful, impartial guide to their histories and claims, their successes and failures. He examines a host of New Age practices, including toning, Cymatics, drumming circles, and the Tomatis method. And he explores how the medical establishment has begun to recognize and incorporate the therapeutic power of song. Acknowledging that the drumming circle will not—and should not—replace the emergency room, nor the shaman the cardiologist, Gioia suggests that the most promising path is one in which both the latest medical science and music—with its capacity to transform attitudes and bring people together—are brought to bear on the multifaceted healing process.
In Healing Songs, as in its companion volume Work Songs, Gioia moves beyond studies of music centered on specific performers, time periods, or genres to illuminate how music enters into and transforms the experiences of everyday life.

Описание: "As a consultant and business coach, I've read many books on business, marketing, leadership, and influence... and it's very hard to find something that really impresses me like Ben Gioia's book did. "The author took the well-known key principles about influence and marketing that everyone else writes about, synthesized them, re-presented them from a new perspective, and created a completely new framework that's both very insightful and extremely practical. "'Influence with a Heart' is not a theoretical treatise but an action-oriented tool, a book you'll want to keep handy on your desk for ideas, inspiration, and suggestions to help you establish a real connection with your audience. "For each of the three pillars of his framework (Empathy, Story, Thought-Leadership), Ben first explains why it works, then presents a real-world case study to show the principle in action, and eventually gives the reader a step-by-step guide to applying the principle to solve her own business challenges. "I can tell from my personal experience that most books, courses, webinars, and blogs on marketing and business miss the action steps part. They spend too much time and energy establishing the author's thought-leadership instead of providing actionable value. "This book takes the opposite approach and focuses on helping the reader achieve her goal of becoming a better and more effective communicator. "Written in a conversational and entertaining way, 'Influence with a Heart' is a must read for anyone who wants to become a more influential leader and provide more value to their audience. -Giuseppe Fratoni Digital Marketing Consultant and Business Coach Rome, Italy - - - Ben Gioia ("joya") is a speaker, coach, bestselling author, and President of InfluenceWithAHeart.com.

Описание: Including narratives of practice across diverse Australian settings, Engaging with Educational Change fills a gap in the current educational change literature. Building on the experience of the authors and their colleagues, this book illustrates the power of practitioner inquiry to facilitate positive, practice-improving change and suggests how others might use this methodology to extend current thinking and evaluation. The book includes the voices of practitioners and academics working with a diverse range of age groups and settings across public and private educational contexts, including primary schools, preschools and childcare centres. This multi-perspective real research helps inform and inspire people from a range of backgrounds and expertise who want to facilitate practitioner inquiry initiatives themselves. The book begins by introducing practitioner inquiry, exploring the principles of inquiry-based practice and issues of data alongside the landscapes of educational change. Chapters in part two then offer real-life case studies highlighting experiences of using practitioner inquiry or supporting those working with these methods to improve educational practice and ultimately the outcomes for children. The chapters include case studies of pedagogical leadership and the exploration of issues related to sustaining educational change. The final section concludes the book by critically reflecting upon practitioner inquiry and providing guidance for those interested in this change methodology. Investigating issues that arise during implementation of practitioner inquiry initiatives, Engaging with Educational Change provides both critique and assistance for students and practitioners applying the process in their own settings.
