Product Description

Recently vilified as the prime dynamic driving home the breach between poor and rich nations, here the branding process is rehabilitated as a potential saviour of the economically underprivileged.

Brand New Justice, now in a revised paperback edition, systematically analyses the success stories of the Top Thirteen nations, demonstrating that their wealth is based on the 'last mile' of the commercial process: buying raw materials and manufacturing cheaply in third world countries, these countries realise their lucrative profits by adding value through finishing, packaging and marketing and then selling the branded product on to the end-user at a hugely inflated price. The use of sophisticated global media techniques alongside a range of creative marketing activities are the lynchpins of this process.

Applying his observations on economic history and the development and impact of global marketing, Anholt presents a cogent plan for developing nations to benefit from globalization. So long the helpless victim of capitalist trading systems, he shows that they can cross the divide and graduate from supplier nation to producer nation. Branding native produce on a global scale, making a commercial virtue out of perceived authenticity and otherness and fully capitalising on the 'last mile' benefits are key to this graduation and fundamental to forging a new global economic balance.

Anholt argues with a forceful logic, but also backs his hypothesis with enticing glimpses of this process actually beginning to take place. Examining activities in India, Thailand, Russia and Africa among others, he shows the risks, challenges and pressures inherent in 'turning the tide', but above all he demonstrates the very real possibility of enlightened capitalism working as a force for good in global terms.

Brand New Justice Review

Branding has taken its share of knocks over the last three years, but a few of us have retained faith in the profession as a tool that can aid humankind, rather than create bigger gaps between rich and poor nations. Brand New Justice is the best book of such techniques, designed to fast-track countries and ensure a fairer distribution of wealth, using free-market principles that support individual freedoms. For those cynical after No Logo, believing that marketing is about 'adding worthless gloss to worthless products', Brand New Justice provokes thought. Anholt believes his work to be realpolitik, but there are still ideals behind it, with which almost all right-thinking people would agree. It is this combination - idealism mixed with reality, all delivered with lucid, intelligible English - that makes it one of the most powerful branding books written.

Product Description

Wisdom is a defining attribute of the successful leader. While many gifted philosophers and leaders� Confucius, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Cicero, St. Thomas Aquinas, and Descartes� �have explored the virtue of wisdom in leadership, in its current form, the study of wisdom has been aided by advances in the psychological sciences and management theory. In Executive Wisdom: Coaching and the Emergence of Virtuous Leaders, renowned executive consultant Richard R. Kilburg introduces the concept of Executive Wisdom and explores how consultants and coaches can help leaders become wiser in the conduct of their offices, and how these same concepts can be applied to senior leadership teams.

What is executive wisdom, and how can it be developed through coaching? Executive wisdom emerges from a complex matrix of factors that affect an individual leader's thoughts, behavior, and emotions, including his or her organization, biopsychosocial systems, behavioral interfaces, internalized human wisdom system, external and internal challenges, and environment. It develops through the discernment, decision making, and executive action that leaders take in their daily lives. Synthesizing a rich array of concepts and processes, such as wisdom mapping, Kilburg deepens the reader's understanding of leadership performance and explains the causes and consequences of executive failure.

This book uniquely integrates a large body of historical, philosophical, psychological, and business models and methods as they relate to executive coaching and leadership development, for individuals, dyads, teams, and executive groups. Some of the key elements that make the book successful are carefully constructed case examples and methodological suggestions for improving an individual executive's capacity, plus literature summaries, point-by-point presentations, narrative case analyses, and activities that will appeal to different learning styles and needs for leaders and their coaches.

Executive Wisdom: Coaching and the Emergence of Virtuous Leaders Review

I bought this book after seeing Dick Kilburg present at an annual conference. I was impressed by his intellectual rigor, considerable knowledge, and ability to hold it all together. So I picked up Executive Wisdom for the plane ride home. What a rewarding read! I hadn't thought of the centrality of wisdom in leadership before; but as Kilburg laid it out, there it was, right before us all along.

There is a lot to like about this book, especially for consultants, trainers, and HR professionals responsible for helping managers become better leaders. Academics who study leadership will also find a lot of value in Kilburg's ideas and synthesis of philosophical and psychological perspectives on the intersection of leadership and wisdom.

Kilburg deftly blends anecdotes, history, headlines, and case studies from his extensive coaching practice to bring his subject to life. This is a nice complement to the theoretical frameworks and conceptual models he lays out. At times, the reading is heady and complex. But the casual reader is rewarded by persevering through the heavier material: to paraphrase Oliver Wendell Holmes, there is a simplicity on the other side of Kilburg's treatment of this complex topic.

In the end, Kilburg renders the intangible--wisdom--tangible. With penetrating insight, impressive scholarship, and extensive experience, he shows how consequential leadership is and how leaders can face the daunting demands before them with courage, character, and principle. And he shows those of us who would help them how to facilitate such maturity. As is painfully evident on the current world stage, we are in dire need of wise leaders. Perhaps Kilburg's greatest contribution is in helping us to understand what it means to be a wise leader and how to become one.

Circuit Troubleshooting Handbook (Software Development) Review

There are a few different types of electronic troubleshooting books. Some books are written for people who are trying to repair equipment like TV's, receivers, power supplies, etc. Some books are focused on troubleshooting circuits you are in the process of designing. This book is for people who are building and designing circuits. It is not really about repair work. If you are into engineering and are having trouble getting your circuits working correctly you might find this book helpful. Check the contents to make sure your topic is being covered. It doesn't cover everything.

SANs Demystified Review

It's unfortunate that Ms Quisenberry is still spreading untruths...here's the real story...I did indeed contact Ms Q., et al, to assist in ghostwrititng chapters for this book since I was approaching a deadline at the same time that I was in renal failure awaiting a kidney transplant. I paid her for what I later discovered was plagiarized material from a college web-site. The very same Judy Bass to whom Ms Q refers, was the one that brought to my attention the fact that several paragraphs in Ms. Q's material were outdated and appeared to have been written some time ago. After entering some of the passages from the material that she submitted on Yahoo, I discovered that her submission was taken from a paper that had been published on some college web-site years earlier. Too bad she hadn't proof read the material before submitting it as her own. Obviously, her submission was not used and I had paid her some $1200 for nothing. The book was written by myself and one other writer who agreed, as part of our arrangement, that there would not be a writing credit. All that I've stated is true and verifiable (I still have her time-stamped email submission along with the college web-site info), though I doubt anyone, save for Ms. Q who, sadly, is still talking about this some 5+ years later, would be interested.

The revised edition offers new material on using classroom assessment, complying with standards and high stakes testing, an updated approach to evaluating At-Risk Prevention programs, and alternative strategies for meeting the motivational needs of at-risk youth, from developmental constructivism to mastery learning.

At Risk Students: Reaching and Teaching Them Review

I would recommend this book to any person involved with helping at risk youth. It has a tremendously easy to read format which guides the reader through the struggles of the at risk child. Sagor begins by educating the reader about the at risk child. Through Chapter 1 the reader understands better what the child experiences and gets an inkling of what the child must feel. Step by step the reader is taken through the process as an individual, as an educator, as a provider of self worth. Sagor extends that to a school wide idea and even further to the community. As a professional who works with at risk children, I feel very grateful to have the opportunity to read this kind of text. It is written in such a way that the reader is comforable moving from one step to another. The concepts are affirmed by others in the field and supported by research.If more people would read this book, we would have a huge decrease in kids deemed at risk. This book should be on the nightstand of every educator, social worker, counselor, and youth director.I loved it and use it weekly!
