Free Download Leading Maths: The essential guide for new and aspiring maths leaders by Peter Mattock
English | November 9th, 2023 | ISBN: 1785836978 | 160 pages | True EPUB | 0.50 MB
Leading maths at any school is a unique challenge. Being a ‘core’ subject comes with pressures not experienced in many other subject areas. In addition, the relatively abstract nature of the subject content, combined with the contrasting societal and parental attitudes to mathematics, can complicate communication and stifle progress. Most pupils and parents will recognise the importance of the subject but many feel it’s fine to -not be good at maths. Leading a subject area in schools is often about managing what seem at face value to be contradictions, and nowhere is this truer than in leading maths.

English | November 24, 2020 | ISBN: B08P3S2HZJ | 9 hours and 17 minutes | MP3 128 Kbps | 510 Mb
Senseless school shootings, cure-defying epidemics, threats of environmental disaster: These are the kinds of headlines that riddle the news every day. We wonder, when will it stop?
While many advances have been made, there is still a need for everyday people to create, innovate, and impact their spheres of influence to advance the common good. Motivated by curiosity, conviction, and a conquering spirit, they can move to fill unoccupied spaces to nurture, persuade, understand, and solve some of society’s lingering dilemmas. Those who do the initial significant work in these areas are the ones who bring about such needed change. They are pioneers.
The Pioneer’s Way establishes a working definition of the pioneer, explores pioneering versus leadership, and offers essential characteristics of the pioneer. These are illustrated by colorful examples of pioneers both past and present – motivating listeners with inspirational, frontiering stories, while equipping them with the journey’s essentials for moving forward to make needed, significant change. Listeners will journey down a systematic path that will help them navigate unfamiliar territory so they too can respond to the pioneer’s call and answer it through effective, beneficial action in both their lives and the lives they touch.

Free Download Leading the Life You Want: Skills for Integrating Work and Life by Stewart D. Friedman, Tom Pile, Ascent Audio
English | March 07, 2023 | ISBN: B0BWL2ZF9X | 7 hours and 42 minutes | MP3 128 Kbps | 634 Mb
You’re busy trying to lead a "full" life. But does it really feel full-or are you stretched too thin? Enter Stew Friedman, Wharton professor, adviser to leaders across the globe, and passionate advocate of replacing the misguided metaphor of "work/life balance" with something more realistic and sustainable. If you’re seeking "balance" you’ll never achieve it, argues Friedman. The idea that "work" competes with "life" ignores the more nuanced reality of our humanity-the interaction of four domains: work, home, community, and the private self. The goal is to create harmony among them instead of thinking only in terms of trade-offs. It can be done.
Building on his national bestseller, Total Leadership, Friedman identifies the critical skills for integrating work and the rest of life. He illustrates them through compelling original stories of these remarkable people: former Bain & Company CEO and Bridgespan cofounder Tom Tierney, Facebook COO and bestselling author Sheryl Sandberg, nonprofit leader and US Navy SEAL Eric Greitens, US First Lady Michelle Obama, soccer champion-turned-broadcaster Julie Foudy, and renowned artist Bruce Springsteen.
Each of these admirable (though surely imperfect) people exemplifies a set of skills-for being real, being whole, and being innovative-that produce a sense of purpose, coherence, and optimism.

Free Download Leading Transformation: How to Take Charge of Your Company’s Future by Nathan Furr, Kyle Nel, Thomas Zoega Ramsoy
English | September 08, 2020 | ISBN: B08GN97MQB | 6 hours and 51 minutes | M4B 128 Kbps | 376 Mb
Leaders know that their job is to transform their organizations to keep pace with technology and an ever-changing business environment. They also know that they are bound to fail in doing so. But this discouraging prospect is not because they won’t be able to solve a technological or strategic problem. Leaders will fail because of intractable human responses associated with change – responses such as fear, ingrained habits, politics, incrementalism, and lack of imagination. These stumbling blocks always arise when we humans are faced with change, but what if we had a way to transcend them?
This book reveals a radical new method for doing just that.
Written by the executive who designed and implemented it, the neuroscientist who helped make it work, and the academic who explains why it works and how to do it, Leading Transformation introduces an innovative yet proven process for creating breakthrough change. Divided into three steps, this process uses cutting-edge tools such as science fiction, cartoons, rap music, artifact trails, and neuroprototypes to overcome people’s inability to imagine or react to what doesn’t yet exist, override powerful habits and routines that prevent them from changing, and create compelling narratives about the organization’s future and how to get there.

Free Download Leading Outside the Lines: How to Mobilize the Informal Organization, Energize Your Team, and Get Better Results by Jon R. Katzenbach, Ken Kliban, Recorded Books
English | July 09, 2020 | ISBN: B08B42XCHK | 6 hours and 13 minutes | MP3 128 Kbps | 341 Mb
An all-new approach to understanding the (in)formal connections of an organization
From the best-selling coauthor of the business classic The Wisdom of Teams comes an all-new exploration of the modern workplace, and how leaders and managers must embrace it for success. Katzenbach and Khan examine how two distinct factions together form the bigger picture for how organizations actually work: the more defined "formal" organization of a company – the management structure, performance metrics, and processes – and the "informal" – the culture, social networks, and ad hoc communities that spring up naturally and can accelerate or hinder how the organization works. With dynamic examples from enterprises around the world, this book takes a timeless organizational approach and creates a powerful paradigm-shifting tool set for applying it.
Includes self-assessment guidelines for senior leaders, front-line managers, and individual contributors

Free Download From Smart to Wise: Acting and Leading with Wisdom by Prasad Kaipa, Navi Radjou, Michael Butler Murray
English | July 17, 2020 | ISBN: B08D4ZK1P3 | 7 hours and 21 minutes | MP3 128 Kbps | 606 Mb
A fresh and timely approach to nurturing wise, resilient, and flexible leadership in a world of growing complexity
Leaders tend to obstinately stick to the leadership style that brought them most success in the past, usually one of two extreme styles: functional leadership that focuses on operational excellence or smart leadership that focuses on growth. When a leader’s focus is too functional, the organization becomes introverted and can focus too much on bottom-line profitability while missing out on top-line growth opportunities. But when leaders focus too much on smart leadership, the organization may experience quick growth but lose its effectiveness quickly.
From Smart to Wise offers a new approach that balances the two styles to achieve a form of wise leadership that is both functional and smart. Drawing on inspiring real-life stories of historical and contemporary wise leaders such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and even Mahatma Gandhi, the authors identify six characteristics of wise leaders and offer a practical framework to help listeners develop their own style of wise leadership.
