Wall Street Journal Bestseller Two veteran executive coaches help
today's leaders learn how to retain and inspire their teams through
the one thing their research has found works: Leading with Heart.
In these pages, leadership coaches John Baird and Edward Sullivan
share hundreds of hours of research and firsthand accounts of
guiding leaders at some of the world's most respected big brands
and small startups (Apple, Nike, Google, and Slack to name a few).
Through their coaching and research they uncovered the five
behaviors transformative leaders engage in to connect authentically
with their teams: They are aware of their people's needs. They help
their people to confront the fears that hold them back. They
understand their own desires and what drives their people. They
leverage their unique gifts and help people find their own. They
connect with their core sense of purpose and help people find
theirs. The key to achieving these behaviors is asking the right
questions and having conversations that connect you and your
employees on the deepest human level-conversations the authors
coach you on how to navigate. At a time when workplaces are
struggling to build high morale and connected cultures, Leading
with Heart will help leaders to unlock the best version of
themselves and those around them with transformative results. No
matter where you are in your career, this book is your launch point
to leading with heart. By encouraging you to ignore outdated
"leadership hacks" and embrace introspection and growth, Leading
with Heart guides you to ask the right questions and find your own
answers. Now you too can create a leadership game-plan that is
authentic to you and brings out the best in those around you.
Greek Natural Philosophy presents the primary sources on the
Presocratics in a straightforward way in order to tell a coherent
story about the astonishing development of natural philosophy in
ancient Greece and its relevance today. The book begins with
historical influences on the birth of natural philosophy,
especially literacy and the ecosystem services provided by the
natural environment of ancient Greece. It argues that the
individual philosophers' thoughts about the nature of the cosmos,
living things, humankind, and human culture were linked by a
"diachronic dialectic of ideas." Each philosopher's speculations
were subjected to a critique by the next generation who crafted
more subtle theories. The dialectical transition is traced from the
mythopoeic worldview of Hesiod to the rational worldview of Thales
and his Milesian successors, followed by Xenophanes and Heraclitus,
then Parmenides and his Eleatic successors, and the qualitative
pluralisms of Anaxagoras and Empedocles. An entirely fresh
interpretation is provided of the Atomists and later Pythagoreans,
whose work culminated in the ideas upon which Galileo, Newton, and
the other architects of modern science, continued to build. In the
span of only two centuries, the Presocratics developed the basic
principles of philosophy and natural science, ecology, mathematical
astronomy, the atomic theory of matter, an inertial theory of
motion, and the possibility that our solar system is only one of
infinitely many scattered throughout infinite time and space. The
concluding chapter traces natural philosophy through subsequent
centuries until its abandonment in 20th century philosophy, leading
to the moribund state of philosophy by the end of that century. The
authors show how environmental philosophy represents a return to
natural philosophy and a model for the revival of philosophy's
vigor and relevance in the 21st century. Greek Natural Philosophy
is suitable for undergraduate and graduate courses in ancient Greek
philosophy or in environmental philosophy, and will be of interest
to scholars in these fields.
