The Lead-Attitudes of Great Leadership
The Lead-Attitudes of Great LeadershipWelcome to a work dedicated to exploring the Lead-Attitudes of Great Leadership. Our aim is to provide you with a leadership model designed to inspire aspirational greatness in yourself and those around you while cultivating transformational character. At its core, a Lead-Attitude is defined as an intentional practice of leadership that shapes the culture - specifically, the relationships - of an organization and its people. These attitudes do more than influence behaviors; they inspire individuals to rise beyond their current potential while fostering growth that transforms both character and capability. By dissecting our definition, you can uncover the essence of our approach to leadership as a deliberate, relational, and transformative force - one that elevates not only results but also the humanity and aspirations of everyone involved. Join us on this journey to discover how The Lead-Attitudes can revolutionize your leadership and the lives of those you lead.Lead-Attitudes - "Are those intentional practices of leadership that impact the cultures (Relationships) of organizations and its people to inspire aspirational greatness while growing transformational leaders." gcpThe Lead-Attitudes are...Lead with humility and graceLead with insight and wisdom Aspirational Servant-Leaders, While Growing Transformational LeaderLead with purpose and legacy (personal)Lead with accountability and consistencyLead with example and assurance (boldness)Lead with E-IQ and C-IQ ("Being" and "Doing")Lead with resolve and tenacityLead with integrity and transparencyLead with foresight and successionLead with intention and focus (organizational)Lead with vision and strategyLead with inspiration and acknowledgementCome on in and get started with the Lead-Attitudes...
Flash Teams
A dramatic new future of work in which managers assemble exactly the expertise they need--within minutes. Gone are the days of static organizational charts and staffing based on the manager's rolodex and intuition. Now you can recruit any expertise you need from a global online network within minutes: an on-demand, on-the-spot expert at the exact moment that you need their help. You can right-size their involvement, too; some of those experts give a second opinion or a moment of brainstorming, whereas others join as full-fledged team members for a sustained collaborative effort. This is the future promised by flash teams, a model that The New York Times has already praised for its "revolutionary potential" a world where experts are available anytime and everywhere, where remote work has become a norm, and where AI is in the loop to guide team decisions. In Flash Teams, award-winning management scholar Melissa Valentine and computer scientist Michael Bernstein chart the opportunities of flash teams and navigate the challenges that teams and managers will face. They distill lessons from their own work assembling and managing flash teams on demand that every manager can learn from so they can successfully use flash teams in their own organizations. Drawing on original research and industry examples, this book will help readers to: Recognize and source needed expertise within minutesAnticipate and plan team designs with AIRedesign team structures on the fly as projects evolveIndustries are already being transformed by this new approach to teaming. Flash Teams arms leaders, managers, and entrepreneurs with the tools they need to accomplish their goals with confidence, speed, and agility.

Decommissioning Aging Installations and Declining Technologies
This open-access brief tackles the idea, prevalent in some industrial sectors, that decommissioning, de-pollution and waste management are a necessary evil rather than a predictable phase of industry for which preparations can and should be made in advance. The brief forms the beginning of a conversation on the conditions under which current examples of decommissioning and phasing-out could help establish a basis for envisioning future dismantling efforts across safety-critical systems and in the light of the sustainability transitions with which many sectors have to engage. What are the conditions that would allow these operations to be seen, not as a sad act of deconstruction, but rather as a source of learning about technological rebound, renaissance and ecological redirection? This brief will be of interest to academic researchers and graduate students working in safety science, sustainability and environmental risk and management. Members of expert bodies - safety and health agencies, environmental agencies, regulators and inspectors - consultants working with hazardous industries and policy-makers dealing with the environmental and health-and-safety law may find the advice given in this book of practical use in cutting down the undesirable environmental effects of industrial decommissioning.

The Bossy Girl's Guide to Leadership
The Bossy Girl's Guide to Leadership is a deeply personal and powerful exploration of one woman's journey from trauma to triumph, aimed at empowering women leaders who struggle with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and the feeling of not being "enough." Through raw, candid storytelling, the author recounts pivotal life experiences, from childhood abandonment and abuse to challenges in professional environments that shaped her identity and resilience. Rather than letting these experiences define her, she chose to harness them as fuel to become a successful leader, mother, and mentor. The narrative artfully weaves personal stories with broader themes of societal expectations, leadership identity, and the importance of support systems like a "Support Squad." It offers both heartfelt validation and practical tools, like building a "Brag Board," to help readers shift internal narratives and own their worth. This is not just a memoir-it's a motivational roadmap for women ready to rewrite the stories they tell themselves. At its core, The Bossy Girl's Guide to Leadership is a testament to the power of vulnerability, perseverance, and community in becoming the leaders we're meant to be.

Supply Chain Analytics
Supply Chain Analytics, second edition, introduces the reader to data analytics and demonstrates the value of its effective use in the improvement of Supply Chain (SC) process performance. By describing four key SC processes and illustrating - through worked examples - how the descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytic methods can be applied to enhance those processes, this book presents a more comprehensive learning experience for the reader than has been offered previously.Key topics and issues are addressed, including the capriciousness of modern SC operating environments; the imperative of SC sustainability; the need for heightened SC risk management; the building of SC resilience; the pursuit of SC optimisation; and the use of big data, data mining, cloud computing, machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), and importantly the social issues confronting SC analysts in carrying out their work.The author identifies four core SC processes - strategy, design, execution, and people - to which the analytic techniques explained can be applied to ensure continuous performance improvement and the growth of competitive advantage.Pedagogy to aid learning is incorporated throughout, including an opening section for each chapter explaining the intended learning outcomes; worked examples illustrating how each analytic technique works, how it is applied, and what to be careful of; tables, diagrams, and equations to help 'visualise' the concepts and methods covered; end-of-chapter case studies; review questions; and assignment tasks.Providing both management expertise and technical skills, which are essential to decision-makers in the SC, this textbook is essential reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of SC analytics, SC leaders, and SC operations management professionals. Its practice-based and applied approach also makes it valuable for teaching academics, organisational trainers and coaches, operating SC practitioners, and those pursuing professional qualifications.Online resources include chapter-by-chapter PowerPoint slides, tutorial exercises, written assignments, worked examples using Excel, and a test bank of exam questions.
