This guide shows readers how to transform a traditional organization into an evolutionary one with a framework and mindset that offer a new way of leading and approaching change. Now more than ever, society is demanding change, and organizations are being asked to shift into more conscious and agile business practices. Yet, most of what people believe about leadership, effective workplaces, and how to create lasting change is either incomplete or outright incorrect. And even if the desire to change is there, understanding of how to achieve it is elusive. This book holds the key. It introduces the Shift Evolutionary Leadership Framework (SELF), which helps leaders create the understanding and application needed to evolve high performance. At the core of the book are dozens of business patterns that cut across seven dimensions of organizational functioning. The traps of traditional organizations are contrasted with the high-performance practices of evolutionary organizations. Authors Michael Sahota and Audree Tata Sahota explain the steps of leading beyond change—evolving beyond servant leadership to make the inner shift needed to unlock the practical skills and techniques. Whether readers call this shift business agility, Teal Agility, evolutionary, or the future of work, it is possible to create high-performing organizations filled with energized people who are able to surf the waves of change.

Join Mike Ashley on a characterful tour of the most ingenious and often forgotten books from the rich history of classic British science fiction.

From atop the choppy waves to the choking darkness of the abyss, the seas are full of mystery and rife with tales of inexplicable events and encounters with the unknown. In this anthology we see a thrilling spread of narratives: sailors are pitched against a nightmare from the depth, invisible to the naked eye; a German U-boat commander is tormented by an impossible transmission via Morse Code; a ship ensnares itself in the kelp of the Sargasso Sea and dooms a crew of mutineers, seemingly out of revenge for her lost captain. The supernatural is set alongside the grim affairs of sailors scorned in these salt-soaked tales, recovered from obscurity for the 21st century.

A snitch in the crew has dismantled the Cartel, and now disloyalty threatens to tear the family apart. Young Carter is in the fight for his life, as he faces drug kingpin charges because of the treachery of his best friend, Ace.--From publisher description.

Obecně se soudí, že science fiction byla, přinejmenším do počátku sedmdesátých let 20. století, především doménou mužů. Významný příspěvek ženských autorek by však neměl být podceňován – koneckonců Frankensteina, jenž je obecně považován za první skutečnou science fiction, napsala žena, Mary W. Shelleyová, a autorkou jedné z prvních utopií napsaných v Americe byla Mary Griffithová. Antologie Svědkyně zítřka předkládá zajímavý výběr z raných (vědecko)fantastických povídek z pera žen, které musely být ve své době odvážné i navýsost tvrdohlavé, aby mohly svůj talent i touhu psát rozvíjet. Editor Mike Ashley v předmluvě zdůrazňuje význam, jaký měla díla píšících žen v počátcích vývoje žánru, a odhaluje odlišný, zcela jedinečný úhel, z jakého autorky nahlížejí na zázraky i hrůzy, které může přinést technologický a vědecký pokrok.
