Nelson's Way: Leadership Lessons from the Great Commander By Jonathan Gosling, Stephanie Jones 2006 | 247 Pages | ISBN: 1857883713 | PDF | 2 MB In his early teens Horatio Nelson was commanding boats with up to 20 oarsmen. From the age of 18 he took charge of ships taken as prizes. At 21 he was a captain, responsible for hundreds of men. By Trafalgar he was responsible for the fate of 40 ships and tens of thousands of men. A manager as well as an inspiring leader, Nelson was concerned about every ship and every seaman, as well as honour and glory. Always visible, he bravely led from the front sharing all the risks. A participative rather than directive leader, he nevertheless bore final responsibility. He was a legend in his lifetime. In NELSON’S WAY, Leadership Lessons from the Great Commander, Stephanie Jones and Jonathan Gosling, both Nelson enthusiasts and leadership lecturers, have used the very latest research to present a thoroughly up-to-date history of Nelson. As much an adventure story as a business book, Jones & Gosling use examples of Nelson’s adventures and tales of daring-do to show how he embodied the characteristics of the most successful of leaders. With chapters such as Heroism, Vocation, Passion, and Inspiration, Jones and Gosling distil Nelson’s dynamic approach to leadership and management into practical insights and lessons for today’s managers. They ask provocative leadership questions inspired by Nelson’s own approach to leading and guide the reader to answer them: Why be a leader? Do you need to be an expert in your field? Should you be visible and lead from the front or practise quiet leadership? How do you balance your personal and working life? Why be a team player? Can you be a leader and a manager? Why should others follow you? What will be your legacy? With contributions from well-known leadership experts including Sir John Harvey-Jones, Admiral Sir Jonathon Band, Greg Dyke and Dr Henry Mintzberg, NELSON’S WAY provides timely and intensely practical lessons for all modern managers and offers aspiring leaders the opportunity to acquire вЂthe Nelson Touch’.

Fairbourne, Stephen W. Gibson, W. Gibb, Jr. Dyer 2007 | 273 Pages | ISBN: 1847201083 | PDF | 2 MB Poverty remains one of the most intractable problems in the developing world. Microfranchising offers great promise in alleviating poverty by aiding in the foundation of locally owned businesses. Microfranchising is defined as small businesses whose start-up costs are minimal and whose concepts and operations are easily replicated. It involves the systematizing of microenterprises to create and replicate turnkey businesses for the poor. With the awarding of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Economics, attention has increased on this remarkable concept. This unique book provides an overview of the need to alleviate poverty and what methods have been used in the past to do so (e.g. microcredit). It then introduces the concept of the microfranchise and discusses how this business model can be used in poverty alleviation. Different models of microfranchising are reviewed and specific case studies highlighted to show how it has worked in different parts of the world. The book concludes with a discussion of the advantages as well as the potential problems and pitfalls that accompany microfranchising.  Maven: The Definitive Guide By Sonatype Company 2008 | 460 Pages | ISBN: 0596517335 | PDF | 2 MB For too long, developers have worked on disorganized application projects, where every part seemed to have its own build system, and no common repository existed for information about the state of the project. Now there's help. The long-awaited official documentation to Maven is here. Written by Maven creator Jason Van Zyl and his team at Sonatype, Maven: The Definitive Guide clearly explains how this tool can bring order to your software development projects. Maven is largely replacing Ant as the build tool of choice for large open source Java projects because, unlike Ant, Maven is also a project management tool that can run reports, generate a project website, and facilitate communication among members of a working team. To use Maven, everything you need to know is in this guide. The first part demonstrates the tool's capabilities through the development, from ideation to deployment, of several sample applications -- a simple software development project, a simple web application, a multi-module project, and a multi-module enterprise project. The second part offers a complete reference guide that includes: The POM and Project Relationships The Build Lifecycle Plugins Project website generation Advanced site generation Reporting Properties Build Profiles The Maven Repository Team Collaboration Writing Plugins IDEs such as Eclipse, IntelliJ, ands NetBeans Using and creating assemblies Developing with Maven ArchetypesSeveral sources for Maven have appeared online for some time, but nothing served as an introduction and comprehensive reference guide to this tool -- until now. Maven: The Definitive Guide is the ideal book to help you manage development projects for software, web applications, and enterprise applications. And it comes straight from the source. |
