A Radical New Model for Unleashing Your Company’s Potential In most organizations nearly everyone is doing a second job no one is paying them for—namely, covering their weaknesses, trying to look their best, and managing other people’s impressions of them. There may be no greater waste of a company’s resources. The ultimate cost: neither the organization nor its people are able to realize their full potential. What if a company did everything in its power to create a culture in which everyone—not just select “high potentials”—could overcome their own internal barriers to change and use errors and vulnerabilities as prime opportunities for personal and company growth? Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey (and their collaborators) have found and studied such companies—Deliberately Developmental Organizations. A DDO is organized around the simple but radical conviction that organizations will best prosper when they are more deeply aligned with people’s strongest motive, which is to grow. This means going beyond consigning “people development” to high-potential programs, executive coaching, or once-a-year off-sites. It means fashioning an organizational culture in which support of people’s development is woven into the daily fabric of working life and the company’s regular operations, daily routines, and conversations. An Everyone Culture dives deep into the worlds of three leading companies that embody this breakthrough approach. It reveals the design principles, concrete practices, and underlying science at the heart of DDOs—from their disciplined approach to giving feedback, to how they use meetings, to the distinctive way that managers and leaders define their roles. The authors then show readers how to build this developmental culture in their own organizations. This book demonstrates a whole new way of being at work. It suggests that the culture you create is your strategy—and that the key to success is developing everyone.

Bring on the Books for Everybody is an engaging assessment of the robust popular literary culture that has developed in the United States during the past two decades. Jim Collins describes how a once solitary and print-based experience has become an exuberantly social activity, enjoyed as much on the screen as on the page. Fueled by Oprah’s Book Club, Miramax film adaptations, superstore bookshops, and new technologies such as the Kindle digital reader, literary fiction has been transformed into best-selling, high-concept entertainment. Collins highlights the infrastructural and cultural changes that have given rise to a flourishing reading public at a time when the future of the book has been called into question. Book reading, he claims, has not become obsolete; it has become integrated into popular visual media. Collins explores how digital technologies and the convergence of literary, visual, and consumer cultures have changed what counts as a “literary experience” in phenomena ranging from lush film adaptations such as The English Patient and Shakespeare in Love to the customer communities at Amazon. Central to Collins’s analysis and, he argues, to contemporary literary culture, is the notion that refined taste is now easily acquired; it is just a matter of knowing where to access it and whose advice to trust. Using recent novels, he shows that the redefined literary landscape has affected not just how books are being read, but also what sort of novels are being written for these passionate readers. Collins connects literary bestsellers from The Jane Austen Book Club and Literacy and Longing in L.A. to Saturday and The Line of Beauty, highlighting their depictions of fictional worlds filled with avid readers and their equations of reading with cultivated consumer taste.

"Economists agree about many things--contrary to popular opinion--but the majority agree about culture only in the sense that they no longer give it much thought." So begins the first chapter of Cultures Merging, in which Eric Jones--one of the world's leading economic historians--takes an eloquent, pointed, and personal look at the question of whether culture determines economics or is instead determined by it. Bringing immense learning and originality to the issue of cultural change over the long-term course of global economic history, Jones questions cultural explanations of much social behavior in Europe, East Asia, the United States, Australia, and the Middle East. He also examines contemporary globalization, arguing that while centuries of economic competition have resulted in the merging of cultures into fewer and larger units, these changes have led to exciting new syntheses. Culture matters to economic outcomes, Jones argues, but cultures in turn never stop responding to market forces, even if some elements of culture stubbornly persist beyond the time when they can be explained by current economic pressures. In the longer run, however, cultures show a fluidity that will astonish some cultural determinists. Jones concludes that culture's "ghostly transit through history" is much less powerful than noneconomists often claim, yet it has a greater influence than economists usually admit. The product of a lifetime of reading and thinking on culture and economics, a work of history and an analysis of the contemporary world, Cultures Merging will be essential reading for anyone concerned about the interaction of cultures and markets around the world.

This book is a life-changer! Like a martial arts champion, Ding Mabor Makuei has used the force of life's blows and challenges to defeat all the negativity that comes with being a refugee in a strange land. Not only that, but she has written her personal journey and uses it to help others to navigate the trauma and challenges faced by her South Sudanese fellows. Her self-help program has helped many people from all areas of Australian society as well as young people in her community to come to terms with the culture shock and difficulties of dancing between their valuable heritage and the Australian way of life, so vastly different to their own. Ding acknowledges that many have suffered deep trauma as a result of fleeing for their lives and leaving loved ones back at home, not knowing if they will ever see them again, or even if they will survive. She knows because she was one of them. Ding tells her story with compassion, bravery, honesty and respect for her family, her culture and shows her resilience in surviving trauma and loss. She dedicates the book to her loved ones, to anyone who reads Dancing Between Cultures and anyone who has touched her life. Ding reveals how she bursts into tears every time she thinks of her mother living so far away. She even wishes only the best to those who God "might have had evil intentions or have used your power to manipulate, torture or cause me pain, I can only pray for you all the more". Such is her wisdom and generosity. Culture is at the very core of everything we do in life. And Dancing Between Cultures is an apt title since culture is at the core of this amazing book. People who have never been wrenched from their culture probably hardly ever give it any thought. But if you were born and raised in Africa and you are then suddenly living in a western country such as Australia you realise how important culture is to your whole sense of identity. It is the foundation, so when that is ripped away, many refugees feel lost and adrift. Dealing with culture shock after such trauma can be overwhelming Culture has been at the centre of the expectations of Ding's family, her community, in-laws and, in fact, society in general regarding her way of life, ethics, morals, and her character. She grew up always being told "this is how we do things in our culture", or, "this is not how we do this or do that in our culture." Ding needed to understand culture, so she studied it and found that it is an intricate set of beliefs and customs, including all the habits that have influenced her life from childhood to now. That definition fits her experience perfectly. And so she learned to celebrate her roots and embraced her new home. She wants other refugees to benefit from her experience and wisdom but also hopes other members of society read her book so they can understand how life is for refugees and migrants. Ding is a Master Practitioner of Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), a Social Worker, Trainer, and Speaker who helps people from all walks of life who are hungry for more, feeling stuck or who want more fulfillment. Many of the people she has helped have gone on to achieve excellent results by eliminating all their limiting beliefs, negative emotions, and all the things that seem to hold them back In the book, Ding explains how she works with you to achieve the results you are searching for. You will be encouraged to gently peel away the layers and blockages built by trauma, conditioning and experience to bring out the real, shining and capable person you are.

This engagingly written, jargon-free challenge to the misguided and dangerous global obsession with cultural difference critiques the popular notion that world affairs are determined by civilizations with immutable and conflicting cultures. Culture is too often understood as a straightjacket of values that make people act in a certain way. A more accurate and constructive approach is to see culture as a changing system of meaning, which individuals deploy selectively to make sense of the world.

One of the twentieth century's most influential books, this classic work of anthropology offers a groundbreaking exploration of what culture is With The Interpretation of Cultures, the distinguished anthropologist Clifford Geertz developed the concept of thick description, and in so doing, he virtually rewrote the rules of his field. Culture, Geertz argues, does not drive human behavior. Rather, it is a web of symbols that can help us better understand what that behavior means. A thick description explains not only the behavior, but the context in which it occurs, and to describe something thickly, Geertz argues, is the fundamental role of the anthropologist. Named one of the 100 most important books published since World War II by the Times Literary Supplement, The Interpretation of Cultures transformed how we think about others' cultures and our own. This definitive edition, with a foreword by Robert Darnton, remains an essential book for anthropologists, historians, and anyone else seeking to better understand human cultures.
