Strategic Thinking for Leaders, the Systems Thinking Approach
Summary
"One cannot lead who doesn't first know how to follow," states founder of the Haines Centre for Strategic Management Stephen Haines in his latest collaboration, Strategic Thinking for Leaders - A Systems Thinking Approach: 50 One-Minute Leadership Tips. This quick and easy guide provides business and organizational leaders and listeners with 50 best leadership practice tips for everyday use from nine Haines Centre strategic management experts that share more than 50 years of experience in the field. Strategic Thinking for Leaders delivers hands-on tools for moving from one's current state of chaos and complexity to the more simplistic, ideal future. By using the universal organizing framework of the ABCs of strategic thinking, listeners are given the strategies to visually plan their future and focus on their road to success. This ABCs template employs the backward thinking approach that begins by stating the ideal future or desired outcome of the organizational or business leader and then works backward in planning how to get there, while anticipating any changes and obstacles that may be encountered along the way, also known as the roller coaster of change. As Haines likes to point out, planning and change are the primary responsibility of today's leaders. Strategic Thinking for Leaders lists essential characteristics for successful leadership and gives specific examples that illustrate their necessity. It presents two goals necessary for every leader or aspiring leader to focus on in order to be successful and utilize the 50 best practice tips: Develop an in-depth understanding of and immersion in leadership. Apply that understanding to lifelong learning and specific leadership skill development. The six natural levels of leadership competencies in this book are based on the seven levels of living systems.

How Things Shape the Mind
Summary
An account of the different ways in which things have become cognitive extensions of the human body, from prehistory to the present. An increasingly influential school of thought in cognitive science views the mind as embodied, extended, and distributed rather than brain-bound or “all in the head”. This shift in perspective raises important questions about the relationship between cognition and material culture, posing major challenges for philosophy, cognitive science, archaeology, and anthropology. In How Things Shape the Mind, Lambros Malafouris proposes a cross-disciplinary analytical framework for investigating the ways in which things have become cognitive extensions of the human body. Using a variety of examples and case studies, he considers how those ways might have changed from earliest prehistory to the present. Malafouris's material engagement theory definitively adds materiality - the world of things, artifacts, and material signs - into the cognitive equation. His account not only questions conventional intuitions about the boundaries and location of the human mind, but also suggests that we rethink classical archaeological assumptions about human cognitive evolution.

Master Your Emotions
Summary
Emotions are a big deal. The good ones seem positive, fun, and enjoyable. But the negative ones? They can rip right through you and leave you feeling totally at their mercy. Then comes the shame. Emotions are a totally natural experience, yet the way we are intended to work through our emotions as evolved humans is far different from how our primal brain often encourages us to. Anytime you experience an emotion, you likely experience a flood of thoughts, impulses, and feelings that generally try to take over. Sometimes, they may even succeed. What can follow is stress, embarrassment, guilt, shame, and other painful feelings that are hard to navigate and release. Are you tired of dealing with these feelings? Are you ready to release them and heal from them once and for all? Are you ready to take control of your emotions, and your emotional expression? The solution lies in emotional mastery. Master Your Emotions is an entire guide created to help you better understand your emotions so that you can stop feeling overruled by them, and start seeing the true value they hold. As you unlock the magic of emotions and learn how to use them to your advantage, you will begin to realize that emotions are an incredibly powerful tool, and that they have meant to serve you all this time. You will also discover how to allow them to serve you in a way that actually fits in with our modern way of life. Every chapter of this book is full of practical information, actual tools you can implement to help you take control over your emotions, and food for thought to help you shift your perspective into a healthier and more productive one. Some of what you will learn in Master Your Emotions includes: What emotions are, how they affect your brain and body, and why they are so powerful What it means to be "emotionally hijacked" and why this phenomenon is so common (Hint: You've probably experienced it more than once in your life) Why emotions tend to be so challenging for
