This book is an essential guide for practicing surgeons, equipping them with the necessary skills and expertise to lead medical practices and healthcare organizations. Acting as a roadmap, it engages surgeons in leadership development, enabling them to acquire the knowledge needed to advance within healthcare leadership. Specifically designed for surgeons interested in healthcare leadership, the book addresses a critical gap in the development of surgical professionals into influential and effective surgical leaders. This manual will prepare the surgeon for all aspects of surgical leadership; it prepares surgeons to excel in areas such as practice development, national reputation building, organizational leadership, and fostering a culture of positive change within institutions.
In a field where relevant resources are scarce, this book provides a clear path for practicing surgeons to acquire the necessary skills and expertise for effective leadership. The text begins by focusing on self-leadership, covering topics such as defining one's practice type, navigating promotions across systems, and determining the scope of practice. The subsequent section delves into leading others, addressing critical areas like managing work environments, policy formulation, administration, and consensus-building. Finally, the book explores leading systems, emphasizing the importance of understanding local contexts, building efficient organizational structures, and optimizing healthcare delivery processes.

Pen and Sword | 2005 | ISBN: 1844151549 | English | 520 pages | PDF | 181.39 MB
The inter-war years between 1918 and 1939 saw the newly created Royal Air Force fighting for its very existence politically, being dispatched to the remotest corners of the British Empire and its Protectorates in various policing roles and then finally engaged in a headlong rush to modernize in the face of the new German Fascist regime that was threatening British and European freedom. Yet this important period in RAF history and its effect on political and military rationale during the period has never been completely documented. This exhaustive and comprehensive reference is the most detailed work to be published on the subject. The author gives full information on the changing structure of the Force during the period, squadron operations, political machinations and their effects, the airplanes and their equipment, the personnel, technical advances in navigation and breakthroughs achieved in engine performance. The book is cross-referenced throughout, extremely well illustrated and contains an abundance of location maps and other diagrams. This book will become a Bible for anyone interested in the history of the RAF.
This work has been reviewed by personnel at the RAF Historical Branch who praise it.

Free Download The Rising Sun and Boma By Kenneth Usongo
2014 | 128 Pages | ISBN: 9956792535 | PDF | 1 MB
The Rising Sun and Boma interrogate social evils such as moral decadence, corruption, and greed that are rife in the Cameroonian society. In both plays, Ipah, Paddy, Dinna, and Boma, for example, exemplify how waywardness and avarice can subvert moral integrity. At the same time, the plays problematise the intersection of tradition and modernity, articulating the tension inherent in both visions of life. Although the moral landscape of the drama appears sordid, characters like Abu Ipah and Joseph enkindle hope. Initially performed seventeen years ago, the plays are still as poignant as they are didactic and hilarious as they are refreshing. The characters are credible and compelling partly because of the felicitous language that is anchored in the local imagery.

Free Download The Rise of Aggressive Abolitionism : Addresses to the Slaves By Stanley Harrold
2004 | 260 Pages | ISBN: 0813122902 | EPUB | 1 MB
The American conflict over slavery reached a turning point in the early 1840s when three leading abolitionists presented provocative speeches that, for the first time, addressed the slaves directly rather than aiming rebukes at white owners. By forthrightly embracing the slaves as allies and exhorting them to take action, these three addresses pointed toward a more inclusive and aggressive antislavery effort. These addresses were particularly frightening to white slaveholders who were significantly in the minority of the population in some parts of low country Georgia and South Carolina. The Rise of Aggressive Abolitionism includes the full text of each address, as well as related documents, and presents a detailed study of their historical context, the reactions they provoked, and their lasting impact on U.S. history.

Free Download The Rainy Season : Three Lives in the New South Africa By Maggie Messitt
2015 | 215 Pages | ISBN: 1609383273 | PDF | 1 MB
Just across the northern border of a former apartheid-era homeland sits a rural community in the midst of change, caught between a traditional past and a western future, a racially charged history and a pseudo-democratic present. "The Rainy Season," a work of engaging literary journalism, introduces readers to the remote bushveld community of Rooiboklaagte and opens a window into the complicated reality of daily life in South Africa. "The Rainy Season" tells the stories of three generations in the Rainbow Nation one decade after its first democratic elections. This multi-threaded narrative follows Regina, a tapestry weaver in her sixties, standing at the crossroads where her Catholic faith and the AIDS pandemic crash; Thoko, a middle-aged "sangoma" (traditional healer) taking steps to turn her "shebeen" into a fully licensed tavern; and Dankie, a young man taking his matriculation exams, coming of age as one of Mandela's Children, the first academic class educated entirely under democratic governance. Home to Shangaan, Sotho, and Mozambican Tsonga families, Rooiboklaagte sits in a village where an outdoor butchery occupies an old petrol station and a funeral parlor sits in the attached garage. It's a place where an AIDS education center sits across the street from a West African doctor selling cures for the pandemic. It's where BMWs park outside of crumbling cement homes, and the availability of water changes with the day of the week. As the land shifts from dusty winter blond to lush summer green and back again, the duration of northeastern South Africa's rainy season, Regina, Thoko, and Dankie all face the challenges and possibilities of the new South Africa.

Free Download The Purple Revolution : The Year That Changed Everything By Nigel Farage
2015 | 115 Pages | ISBN: 1849548633 | EPUB | 1 MB
How did Farage persuade Reckless and Carswell to ditch the Conservatives? Would UKIP ever do a deal with another party? How have three near-death experiences shaped Farage's politics? How does Nigel feel about controversial kippers and their high-profile gaffes? Twenty-one years after its formation as a single-policy protest party, and on the eve of what promises to be one of the closest, most exciting general elections in recent memory, the truly remarkable rise of UKIP and its charismatic leader, Nigel Farage, have caused nothing less than a tectonic shift in British politics. And the aftershocks are being felt far beyond the corridors of power in Whitehall... This book, written by the man who orchestrated that extraordinary rise, is not an autobiography, but rather the untold story of the journey UKIP has travelled under Farage's leadership, from the icy fringes of British politics all the way to Westminster, where it is poised to claim the popular vote. In it, he reveals for the first time exactly how, over the last few years, Farage and his supporters have ushered in a very English revolution: secretly courting MPs right under the nose of the political establishment, in the tearooms and wine bars of the House of Lords. With characteristic wit and candour, Farage takes us beyond the caricature of the beerdrinking, chain-smoking adventurer in Jermyn Street double-cuffs as he describes the values that underpin his own journey: from successful City trader to (very) outspoken critic of the European Union and champion of Britain's right to govern itself.
