Technology is constantly evolving, and staying updated with the latest trends and advancements will equip us with the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in the digital age.

A New Perspective on Machiavelli's Practical Ideas and Fuller DimensionsSince its posthumous publication in 1532, Machiavelli's treatise on claiming and holding power has been synonymous with deception, ruthlessness, and even brutality. History generally regards the author of The Prince as a one-note schemer and callous plotter. Some contemporary critics even call him a satirist.In this newly introduced and annotated edition of Machiavelli's most enduring work, scholar of esotericism Mitch Horowitz elucidates the greater spectrum of the pragmatic philosopher's ideas to reveal a figure concerned not just with amoral cunning but possessed of standards and ideals rarely appreciated in modern assessments."A fresh look," Mitch writes in his introduction, ?often reveals the unexpected. Machiavelli imbued The Prince with a greater sense of purpose and ethics than is commonly understood...I believe that some who encounter The Prince today will recognize subtleties missing from the value-free rationalism prominent in some precincts of our culture.?Mitch's new assessment and chapter notes highlight practical lessons that give The Prince its immortality. Not all of Machiavelli's advice remains pertinent or possible in today's world; nor would most readers wish to act on all of it. But, as Mitch explores, the political philosopher's overarching principles warrant careful scrutiny and evaluation.This unabridged edition of The Prince is drawn from N.H. Thomson's 1910 translation, published as volume 36 of The Harvard Classics. Antiquated spellings and grammar are updated. Appendices reproduce aphorisms from both The Prince and Machiavelli's seminally important Discourses on Livy (1531). Pull quotes emphasize key points and Mitch summarizes takeaways following each chapter.

[Small paperback 'Novella' version, 5 x 8 inches, 127 x 203mm] This book draws on the author's long career and experience as an elite Japanese rugby player to give an insight into the leadership and management of Japanese companies, and other organizations in the wider society. For many years he was employed by Kobe Steel and played as an amateur for that company and the Japan national team. He also captained both teams. His perspective and knowledge is uniquely valuable to students of management, organization and leadership theory. He discusses and compares companies such as Sony, Nintendo, Kyocera and Apple.About the authorToshiyuki 'Maru' Hayashi was born in Tokushima prefecture in 1960. He began playing rugby at the age of 13, and was selected at the age of 17 to tour Australia with a Japan high schools team. He played for Doshisha University, then Kobe Steel (now Kobelco Kobe Steelers) and was part of the team which won seven consecutive All-Japan championships (1989-95). He represented Japan for 13 years at lock starting in his third year at university, and at the first and second Rugby World Cups in 1987 and 1991. From 1989 he studied at Oxford University and played for Oxford in the 1990 Varsity Match against Cambridge. He is a member of the Barbarians. He is the founder and president of the HEROES NPO which promotes rugby for Japanese schoolchildren and organizes the nationwide annual HEROES CUP. He gives lectures at universities and motivational seminars for company employees.The introduction is by Ian Williams, a former Wallaby and teammate of Maru at Kobe Steel, with help from other foreigners who have played for the team and/or know Maru.The English translation is by Ian Ruxton, a long-term Japan resident who has done several other book translations. He says that he wanted to translate this book for the insight it offers into the Japanese 'sports mentality' and leadership style as they relate to rugby, companies and other organizations in the wider society. He adds: "The many examples drawn by the author from his deep knowledge and experience of Japanese culture (the business world, religion, philosophy, history etc.) should be of interest and enlightening to many readers."Publication is timed to coincide with Rugby World Cup 2023 beginning in September. Also available in Kindle, large paperback (6 x 9 inches) and hardcover (6 x 9 inches) versions.

Bringing organizations to life"I hope that this book will meet all those, more and more, who aspire to organizations full of life and meaning! Frédéric Laloux, author of Reinventing OrganizationsAt the heart of any company, of any organization, there is an astonishing and untapped reserve of efficiency just waiting to be expressed.This potential for vitality is located in the depth of people, teams and organizations: where the aspirations and the brakes, fear and trust, beliefs and feelings, the meaning. It is from this inner reality that the failures or lasting successes of projects, approaches and organizations come from.And yet, in more than 20 years of support for multiple organizations of all sizes and in all sectors, both public and private, the authors have witnessed that it is most often outside that solutions are sought: actions, processes, controls, behaviors.Jacques and Christophe have decided to share all the tools, principles, analysis grids that they have structured over the years - the TOSCANE WAY - in order to create the conditions for the dynamism of life of people and the collective to spring up.Their experiences make it all simple and accessible.But, make no mistake about the notion of tools ! Because, at the end of the tool, there is an arm and behind the arm, there is a heart and a spirit.This book speaks to our intelligence which needs to understand, to our heart which needs to feel and to our deep being which needs to live and act with meaning and values.Thus, the authors hope to help us transform our mechanistic systems into living organizations for full of aliveness human beings on a living planet.Christophe Le Buhan and Jacques Santini are passionate about setting organizations in motion. They founded TOSCANE Coaching & Consulting. With a team, they support leaders and organizations wishing to deploy practices, values, a culture promoting trust, freedom and responsibility, shared meaning, benevolence and high standards, the creation of human values as a source of strategic values. They have developed the TOSCANE LEADERSHIP PRORGAM which professionalizes managers and leaders, coaches, around "knowing how to create strategic shifts by creating human value".

Book Leadership is never easy, and tomorrow's leaders will need to be the very best possible to deal with the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) realities they will awaken to every day. The COVID-19 pandemic has been called by some a black swan event--something extremely rare that only happens once and could not have been foreseen. Meteorology, however, tells us that those once-in-a-lifetime storms are beginning to happen once a decade as the historical patterns seem less relevant with each passing season. Similarly, leaders will need to be more strategic now than ever to deal with challenges ranging from diversity to AI to hybrid work environments. Their ability to synthesize their belief system, cultural experience, and worldview will be necessary as they operate in authenticity and humility at the head of their organizations and strive to leave a legacy and long-lasting impact.This book offers support to leaders of all seasons and experience levels. No matter where you are in your leadership journey, it can help you with the next step. With an emphasis on blending the science and art of leadership, it provides tools and techniques to help deal with the most difficult leadership challenges. Part coaching manual and part field manual, it combines case studies, philosophy, motivation, and step-by-step instruction in a clear and concise, easy-to-read book that you will reference repeatedly. Pulling examples off the front page of today's new normal while expounding on biblical stories to demonstrate real-world truths, it seeks to draw the leader into a deeper relationship with God and strengthen their call to leadership.This book is broken down into three sections: "The Past," "The Present," and "The Future." Each of which examines relevant topics on the leader's journey, enabling them to use it as a resource for a specific topic or to read it through for a holistic approach in their own journey. Today's Christian leader was put here on this earth for such a time as this, and this book seeks to provide strategic tools to help them be the leaders that change the world and usher in the kingdom of heaven.

One step at a time...Running a business can be a long, winding road filled with pitfalls and detours. Too many business owners try to achieve success by figuring out the process on their own, asking the wrong individuals for advice, or hiring teams of experts to run the business for them. But very rarely do any of these options lead to long-term success. The truth is, business really isn't that complicated-we just make it seem like it is. There are certain behaviors and routines that, when done consistently at all levels of the organization, will undoubtedly lead to overall success. The key element is focusing on the business fundamentals rather than chasing the next best thing.In Marc's four plus decades of management and leadership experience, there is not a mistake or misstep he has not witnessed or even made himself. He has been fortunate enough to have built and sold several companies from the ground up. Now, he gets to apply the lessons learned in the process to help others do the same in their own businesses. Preparing for Greatness is more than a book; it is your road map to success in business and hopefully will result in you avoiding many detours and obstacles.

Coaching others is a core leadership capability in the 21st century. These solution-focused conversations are how effective leaders ignite engagement, boost capability and launch team productivity.

Every person possesses a unique combination of knowledge, strengths, experiences, and perspectives, all playing out in the context of a story that is theirs alone. Each of us is truly one of a kind, and consequently, each of us is equipped with the potential to see a possibility that no one else has yet seen. There is a composite form of genius waiting to be discovered in every organization. The components are there! It's up to the leader to effectively assemble them. This can be done successfully only within a healthy culture where people are respected, connected, and fully empowered to make their greatest individual and collective contributions.Leadership is about more than the quality of what is produced. It's also about the quality of life experienced by the people producing it. Leadership is all about people, and despite how obvious this may seem, we have all encountered people in leadership positions who didn't seem to realize that. As a leader, it's important to realize that people don't want to follow you simply because you are ahead of them or because you are somehow perceived to be above them. They want to follow you because you have demonstrated that you will walk side by sidewith them.You may be an experienced leader, or you might now be starting your exploration of leadership. This book is intended to be valuable for everyone regardless of their current realities or long-term goals. Assembly Required is a practical approach to leadership. Rather than featuring stories about legendary leaders in business and politics, the focus is on scenarios that most of us are likely to encounter - things we can all relate to, and the corresponding philosophies and strategies that will be helpful not only with respect to leadership roles, but also in day-to-day life.
