In September 2015, at the United Nations, world leaders agreed on
seventeen Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs. This book
extrapolates the SDGs into the idea of a purposeful world. In this
context, the purpose for humanity is to thrive sustainably
alongside other life forms and to consciously celebrate the
process. The SDGs serve as a powerful vision, time-stamped at the
2030 time horizon, not just for world leaders but for us all.
However, faced with the challenges of implementing the SDGs, we
(including business leaders, government leaders and anyone wishing
to make a difference) can feel overwhelmed. Wilson takes the reader
on a journey of thought and invites them to work out their personal
role in sustainability as well as their collaborative role
alongside others in their communities and organisations. Written in
a very accessible style, the book celebrates some of the many
achievements made by ordinary people as a catalyst for hope, sets
out a number of achievable goals and provides exercises to enable
the reader to adopt practices that help to make a difference. It is
the perfect book to help turn the SDGs into action at every level -
governmental, organisational and personal.

Globalization, competition and recession have created an
overwhelming pressure on organizations to deliver growth. This has
often resulted in tough performance targets being pushed down the
line. Hard-hitting management may deliver short-term results but in
the longer term key people burn out or leave, and business
performance falls back. Designing the Purposeful Organization
explains how to implement a more enlightened and authentic
leadership style that aligns people's strengths to the delivery of
a compelling future. Designing the Purposeful Organization draws on
a unique framework that helps leaders manage the eight elements
essential for high performance: purpose, vision, engagement,
structure, character, results, success and talent. It moves beyond
the boundaries of transactional performance (pay me X and I'll
deliver Y) to a purpose-centred performance that releases talent,
creativity and engagement. It features case studies from Google,
Whole Foods Market, the NHS and the London 2012 Olympics and is
ideal for practitioners in organization development, senior HR
managers and business leaders. This book demonstrates how business
performance can be inspired beyond boundaries by aligning people to
a compelling purpose.
New Orleans is a kind of Mecca for jazz pilgrims, as Whitney
Balliett once wrote. This memoir tells the story of one aspiring
pilgrim, Clive Wilson, who fell in love with New Orleans jazz in
his early teens while in boarding school in his native England. It
is also his story of gradually becoming disenchanted with his
family and English environment and, ultimately, finding acceptance
and a new home in New Orleans. The timing of his arrival, at age
twenty-two, just a few weeks after the signing of the 1964 Civil
Rights Act and the end of legal segregation, placed him in a unique
position with the mostly African American musicians in New Orleans.
They showed him around, brought him into their lives, gave him
music lessons, and even hired him to play trumpet in brass bands.
In short, Wilson became more than a pilgrim; he became an
apprentice, and for the first time, legally, in New Orleans, he
could make that leap. Time of My Life: A Jazz Journey from London
to New Orleans tells the story of Wilson's journey as he discovers
the contrast between his imagined New Orleans and its reality.
Throughout, he delivers his impressions and interactions with such
local musicians as "Fat Man" Williams, Manuel Manetta, Punch
Miller, and Billie and DeDe Pierce. As his playing improves,
invitations to play in local bands increase. Eventually, he joins
in the jam and, by doing so, integrates the Original Tuxedo Jazz
Band, which had been in continuous existence since 1911. Except for
a brief epilogue, this memoir ends in 1979, when Wilson assembles
his own band for the first time, the Original Camellia Jazz Band,
with musicians who had been among his heroes when he first arrived
in New Orleans.
