Pages : 0
Book Description
Whenever an individual or team embarks on a mission of radical innovation or change, a journey into new and unmapped territory starts. Business Heroes provides a roadmap for the brave characters who seek to take themselves and their organizations into a new and unimagined future. This journey is ridden with danger but inspired by Merlin, Odysseus, Siddharta, Agamemnon and St. George you can achieve those apparently impossible changes everyone in the organization has been telling you will never happen. Ultimately Business Heroes is about success. But this kind of success is achieved not just by ‘strength of will’ or ‘good intentions’ but through wisdom. This ‘old’ wisdom comes from the experience (and stories) of successful heroes, not from the knowledge gained in business schools. By traveling the journey wisely you gain the confidence and power to finally achieve the personal and organizational growth you’ve dreamed of.

The Making of Crusading Heroes and Villains
Author: Mike Horswell
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000084973
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 141
Book Description
Engaging the Crusades is a series of volumes which offer windows into a newly emerging field of historical study: the memory and legacy of the crusades. Together these volumes examine the reasons behind the enduring resonance of the crusades and present the memory of crusading in the modern period as a productive, exciting, and much needed area of investigation. This new volume explores the ways in which significant crusading figures have been employed as heroes and villains, and by whom. Each chapter analyses a case study relating to a key historical figure including the First Crusader Tancred; ‘villains’ Reynald of Châtillon and Conrad of Montferrat; the oft-overlooked Queen Melisende of Jerusalem; the entangled memories of Richard ‘the Lionheart’ and Saladin; and the appropriation of St Louis IX by the British. Through fresh approaches, such as a new translation of the inscriptions on the wreath laid on Saladin’s tomb by Kaiser Wilhelm II, this book represents a significant cutting-edge intervention in thinking about memory, crusader medievalism, and the processes of making heroes and villains. The Making of Crusading Heroes and Villains is the perfect tool for scholars and students of the crusades, and for historians concerned with the development of reputations and memory.

Beyond Heroes
Author: Kim Barnas
Publisher: ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value
ISBN: 098488484X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
Hospitals have long relied on the heroics of one brilliant nurse or doctor to save the day. Such heroics often result in temporary workarounds and quick fixes that leave not only patients and quality care at risk, but also increase costs. This is the story of an organization breaking that habit. Like a growing number of healthcare organizations around the world, ThedaCare, Inc. has been using lean thinking and the principles of the Toyota Production System to improve quality of care, reduce waste, and become more reliable. But lean thinking was incompatible with ThedaCare’s old top-down, hero-based system of management. Kim Barnas, former SVP of ThedaCare, shows us how she and her team created a management system that is stable and lean, to spur continuous improvement. Beyond Heroes shows the reader, step by step, how ThedaCare teams developed the system, using the stories of its doctors, nurses and administrators to illustrate. The book explores each of the eight essential components of the lean system, from front-line problem solving with the scientific method to daily team huddles and creating standard work for leaders all the way to the top of an organization. Finally, the author introduces four executives from healthcare systems across North America who have implemented ThedaCare’s system and share the lessons they learned along the way. Beyond Heroes is not just a call to action or an argument for a better healthcare system. It is a necessary roadmap through the rocky terrain ahead, one that healthcare leaders can customize to their special needs.
