Free Download Leading in the Digital World: How to Foster Creativity, Collaboration, and Inclusivity by Amit S. Mukherjee, Steve Menasche, HighBridge, a division of Recorded Books
English | June 30, 2020 | ISBN: B08BLXMJF3 | 7 hours and 4 minutes | MP3 128 Kbps | 389 Mb
Certain ideas about business leadership are held to be timeless, and certain characteristics of leaders – often including a square jaw, a deep voice, and extroversion – are said to be universal. In Leading in the Digital World, Amit Mukherjee argues that since digital technologies are changing everything else, how could they not change leadership ideologies and styles? As more people worldwide participate equally in business, those assumptions of a leader’s ideal profile have become irrelevant.
Drawing on a global survey of 700 mid-tier to senior executives and interviews with C-level executives from around the world, Mukherjee explains how digital technologies are already reshaping organizations and work and what this means for leaders. For example, globally dispersed businesses can’t reserve key leadership roles for people from exclusive groups; leadership must become inclusive, or fail. Leaders must learn to collaborate in a multipolar world of networked organizations, working with co-located and non-co-located colleagues. Leaders must lead for creativity rather than productivity. Focusing on practice, Mukherjee outlines goals and strategies, warns against unthinking assumptions, and explains how leaders can identify the mindsets, behaviors, and actions they need to pursue.

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.
