This book provides practical tips, strategies, and approaches to help EAs develop their personal and professional practice, while offering a fresh perspective on leadership that goes beyond hierarchies and salary brackets. Drawing together hard-won lessons from Niven's personal journey and insights from leaders, thinkers, philosophers, and artists, this book provides EAs with a clear roadmap for developing their own leadership edge.

Vive la Diff矇rence!
Everybody knows that the histories of England, and then Britain, and of France have, one way or another, been closely connected since at least the time of the Norman Conquest. And yet, this long-standing warm, and sometimes not so warm, relationship has been accompanied by different ways in which everyday things are done and said in our two countries. In a well-researched, factual, highly entertaining and easily readable account, Richard Symington examines the differences in traditions and contemporary customs in France and Britain and the way our languages differ and, indeed, in some respects are the same. His account is interspersed with his comments, sometimes sarcastic, amusing anecdotes, humour, and much relevant and interesting history. The book is a must for anyone wishing to be reminded of the rich Norman French heritage of the English language, to discover interesting facts about French life generally, to navigate curiosities and oddities and, dare it be said, some anomalies and idiosyncrasies of the French language and of the French way of doing things, to learn some relevant snippets from history, or simply to improve their French, both spoken and written, and anyone who plans to visit France, on holiday or business, and wants some good topics with which to open up conversations.

Learn and Memorise Useful English Expressions
This book introduces you to more than 900 English expressions in a totally unique way that is both educational and fun. The main speciality of the book is that it helps you memorise the material you learnt. As an aid also, jokes, rhymes and visual techniques are used. There are 33 lessons in the book, with each lesson introducing you to new expressions. In each lesson, one or more special puzzles (created specifically for students learning a foreign language) test the knowledge of the expressions learnt in that lesson and some of them in previous lessons. Each clue in every puzzle is based ONLY on the learnt expressions, always with their ENTIRE text (meaning, application) as they first appeared in a lesson. The missing word is the answer to the clue in the puzzle. The expressions featured in this book appear in 4 to 8 of the 67 puzzles. This constant repetition serves not only to assist you in memorising but also in using the expressions appropriately when conversing in English.
