From executives complaining that their teams don't contribute ideas
to employees giving up because their input isn't valued--company
culture is the culprit. Courageous Cultures provides a road map to
build a high-performance, high-engagement culture around sharing
ideas, solving problems, and rewarding contributions from all
levels. Many leaders are convinced they have an open environment
that encourages employees to speak up and are shocked when they
learn that employees are holding back. Employees have ideas and
want to be heard. Leadership wants to hear them. Too often,
however, employees and leaders both feel that no one cares about
making things better. The disconnect typically only widens over
time, with both sides becoming more firmly entrenched in their
viewpoints. Becoming a courageous culture means building teams of
microinnovators, problem solvers, and customer advocates working
together. In our world of rapid change, a courageous culture is
your competitive advantage. It ensures that your company is
"sticky" for both customers and employees. In Courageous Cultures,
you'll learn practical tools that help you: Learn the difference
between microinnovators, problem solvers, and customer advocates
and how they work together. See how the latest research conducted
by the authors confirms why organizations struggle when it comes to
creating strong cultures where employees are encouraged to
contribute their best thinking. Learn proven models and tools that
leaders can apply throughout all levels of the organization, to
reengage and motivate employees. Understand best practices from
companies around the world and learn how to apply these strategies
and techniques in your own organization. This book provides you
with the practical tools to uncover, leverage, and scale the best
ideas from every level of your organization.

A must-have resource for building collaboration and trust when the
wrong word or phrase can set someone off. In many workplaces today,
workplace conflict is an escalating issue. The shift to
remote work and hybrid teams has left many people longing for
deeper human connection. On top of this, add a younger generation
clamoring for more feedback and impatient for change, steady
advances in technology that can feel threatening to job security,
or people reexamining priorities and quietly quitting. Â Take
the increase in anxiety, stress, and depression, mix in the loss of
human relationships, and you get less tolerance and understanding
leading, ultimately, to more unresolved workplace conflict.Â
Powerful Phrases for Dealing with Workplace Conflict is an
essential resource for all employees (and their managers) who are
looking for help on how to navigate frequent workplace conflicts,
including with their boss and other difficult people, so they can
rebuild trust, collaboration, and ultimately enjoy more influence
at work.  Leadership and workplace culture experts
Karin Hurt and David Dye share practical and easy-to-follow tactics
such as: Over 50 actual phrases you can use to deescalate common
workplace conflict situations and build trust. Sample dialogs to
demonstrate how phrasing improves interactions. Critical
communication tools to ensure workplace issues are addressed before
they fester and become more difficult to manage. Findings and
real-world cases from a workplace conflict survey conducted by the
authors.

The BEST micro-survival kit in the world Why? * Portable * Easy to
carry on your person, on a pack, and even hanging off your computer
tote * 26 items that have been proven effective in survival
situations. * You can put it together yourself or order one already
made * Various ways to carry it Having been an outdoorsman all of
my life, traipsing around the Alpine lakes of the Bitterroot-Selway
Wilderness in western Montana & northern Idaho, to the high
mountain deserts of southern Utah, I have found that prior
preparation is vital. I started out by carrying a 'Survival Kit, '
which usually weighed more than five pounds, and was quite
prohibitive and unwieldy. It wasn't long before I stopped taking a
survival kit. Thankfully, one was not needed. But being unprepared
for a crisis was the natural result. It wasn't until about 2010,
that I was introduced to a fad - paracord bracelets. Not being into
fads myself, I bought one only for the thought of having 8' of
paracord with me all the time. I liked the idea. Then I began to
wonder if I could put a few additional items into the bracelet,
woven in, thus making it even more beneficial to me in my traipsing
in the outdoors. So, bit by bit, piece by piece, I began to add
items that I considered to be of most importance in a survival
situation. Having worked in a wilderness survival program, I knew
what I could use, what was lightweight, & what was needed to
sustain life. Thus, the Trilobite was born (names this way due to
it's shape). This booklet contains instructions, along with a
story, on what to put into a Trilobite, & how to go about
constructing one. I wish you the best in your fabulous outdoor
adventures. Hopefully this will put you more at peace as you go
outdoors. Practice, and be prepared for the unknown. David Dye

Archaeologists, ethnohistorians, osteologists, and cultural
anthropologists have only recently begun to address seriously the
issue of Native American war and peace in the eastern United
States. New methods for identifying prehistoric cooperation and
conflict in the archaeological record are now helping to advance
our knowledge of their existence and importance. Focusing on four
major issues in prehistoric warfare studies settlement patterns,
skeletal trauma, weaponry, and iconography David H. Dye presents a
new interpretation of ancient war and peace east of the
Mississippi. He considers evidence for raiding and more organized
forms of warfare, accounts of native warfare witnessed by
sixteenth-century Europeans, and the various causes of warfare,
such as revenge, competition for resources, and ideology. War
Paths, Peace Paths offers an innovative analysis of cooperation and
conflict in the prehistoric eastern United States.
