No organization can succeed without effective negotiators.Indeed,no human interaction can thrive without compromise and an ability to recognize win/win situations. Understanding negotiation is, therefore,a key competency not only for people who need to negotiate with customers,suppliers, and the other side in industrial relations, but for anyone whose job includes seeking agreement with other people.

People with the same challenges, aspirations, goals and problems that you have, have already solved these problems and the solutions are written about in books. The Challenge: Finding the time to read those books and remember what they say. Reading Genius 2.0 draws on the latest research in brain science to allow you to achieve the most effective results in as short a time possible.No longer will you have to struggle to read faster and faster, or take endless notes so that you remember what you have just read. Once you learn how to achieve the correct mental state, you will absorb knowledge like a sponge. Once you learn the special and unique methods to turn on your brain power, you will not only get results you never thought possible but also learning will actually become fun and exciting again.
This book is a critical introduction to discourse analysis as it is practised in a variety of different disciplines today, from linguistics and sociolinguistics to sociology and cultural studies. The author shows how concern with the analysis of discourse can be combined, in a systematic and fruitful way, with an interest in broader problems of social analysis and social change.
Drawing on a wide variety of modern and classical sources and multiple
disciplines, this book presents hypothesizes about the relationship
between human language and thought to brain specialization. The authors
focus on aphasia-language disorder resulting from local brain damage
and show that the clinical aspect represents not only loss of function
of the damaged area, but also results from the interaction between
damaged and intact areas of the brain.
Maybe the reason so many well-intentioned
management initiatives fall short is because typical "best practice"
methods only help managers avoid failure, rather than produce genuinely
spectacular results. Jane Linder proposes a new way of managing. Based
on her study of more than 40 wildly successful projects, she has
identified five characteristics that fly in the face of conventional
practice:
Make Space – Allow the project to grow and develop in unpredictable ways.
Get it Right – Insist on finding the right answers to the toughest questions.
Make a Difference – Reach beyond your grasp to accomplish the impossible.
Energize People – Create an emotional environment filled with challenge.
Spiral Up – Don’t stop with a single achievement; use it as a step to greater success.
From developing a virtual reality simulator for underwater mining equipment to saving an Ohio oil refinery from closure, Spiral Up
presents accounts of everyday project champions who have produced
breathtaking results . . . and shows readers how to do the same.
