Liderazgo: ¿Como ser un Gran Líder?

Introducción al liderazgo. Napoleón dijo una vez: 'Un mal general hace más que dos buenos'. Se tarda un momento en captar el sentido de esto, pero es lo mismo que nuestro. El refrán moderno dice que 'demasiados cocineros estropean el caldo'. Es preferible tener un conjunto de instrucciones, aunque sean defectuosas, a tener dos conjuntos de instrucciones perfectas que, cuando se promulgan juntas sin referencia a la otra, causan estragos. Este es el principio del liderazgo en pocas palabras. Se trata de mantener el enfoque y crear resultados positivos. Lo mismo puede aplicarse a las personas que se esfuerzan por convertirse en líderes. Debe haber concentración y determinación. Se pueden dar consejos, pero no hay que hacerles caso. La historia está llena de líderes cuyos comienzos fueron desastrosos, y si hubieran escuchado a los detractores de este mundo, el mundo sería hoy un lugar más pobre. El liderazgo puede aprenderse. Algunas personas nacen ciertamente con habilidades de liderazgo, pero esto no es un requisito previo para convertirse en un líder. Más importante es la dedicación al arte del liderazgo. El liderazgo implica entender cómo inspirar, influir y controlar el comportamiento de las personas. No es una simple cuestión de gritar, ni de tener una voz profunda y retumbante, ni de tener una gran estatura física; Gandhi no poseía ninguno de estos atributos, pero consiguió liderar una nación e inspirar a millones de personas en todo el mundo. A veces, el liderazgo puede no ser más que tener un mensaje conmovedor para un público receptivo en un momento oportuno. En sí mismo, el liderazgo no es bueno ni malo; el mundo ha conocido más que su cuota de dictadores malvados y carismáticos. En el mundo de la empresa, la percepción del liderazgo ha cambiado desde sus inicios, cuando reflejaba en gran medida el modelo militar de liderazgo de arriba abajo, con individuos poderosos que dominaban a grandes grupos de personas menos poderosas.

IMPROVE YOUR SOCIAL SKILLS: THE PERFECT GUIDE TO OVERCOME SOCIAL ANXIETY, SHYNESS, SELF-ESTEEM, FEAR

Building great relationships with other individuals can extraordinarily diminish anxiety and stress in your life. Truth be told, improving your social skills is connected to better emotional and mental wellness as a whole, since having great companions can bring about a 'support' for loss of anxiety and a low state of mind. However, for specific individuals, their anxiety can add to their evasion of social gatherings and keep them from creating relationships and connections. This is particularly valid if you are socially on edge and urgently need to create friends yet are either too frightful to even think about doing so or are uncertain about how to connect with others.

The Agile College: How Institutions Successfully Navigate Demographic Changes

Demographic changes promise to reshape the market for higher education in the next fifteen years. Colleges are already grappling with the consequences of declining family size due to low birth rates brought on by the Great Recession, as well as the continuing shift toward minority student populations. Each institution faces a distinct market context with unique organizational strengths; no one-size-fits-all answer could suffice. In this essential follow-up to Demographics and the Demand for Higher Education, Nathan D. Grawe explores how proactive institutions are preparing for the challenges that lie ahead. While it isn't possible to reverse the demographic tide, most institutions can mitigate the effects. Drawing on interviews with higher education leaders, Grawe explores successful avenues of response, including recruitment initiatives, retention programs, revisions to the academic and cocurricular program, institutional growth plans, retrenchment efforts, and collaborative action. Throughout, Grawe presents listeners with examples taken from a range of institutions-small and large, public and private, two-year and four-year, selective and open-access. While an effective response to demographic change must reflect the individual campus context, the cases Grawe analyzes will prompt conversations about the best paths forward.

How to Tell a Joke: An Ancient Guide to the Art of Humor

Can jokes win a hostile room, a hopeless argument, or even an election? You bet they can, according to Cicero, and he knew what he was talking about. One of Rome's greatest politicians, speakers, and lawyers, Cicero was also reputedly one of antiquity's funniest people. After he was elected commander-in-chief and head of state, his enemies even started calling him 'the stand-up Consul.' How to Tell a Joke provides a lively new translation of Cicero's essential writing on humor alongside that of the later Roman orator and educator Quintilian. The result is a timeless practical guide to how a well-timed joke can win over any audience. As powerful as jokes can be, they are also hugely risky. The line between a witty joke and an offensive one isn't always clear. Cross it and you'll look like a clown, or worse. Here, Cicero and Quintilian explore every aspect of telling jokes-while avoiding costly mistakes. Presenting the sections on humor in Cicero's On the Ideal Orator and Quintilian's On the Orator's Education, How to Tell a Joke examines the risks and rewards of humor and analyzes basic types that listeners can use to write their own jokes. Filled with insight, wit, and examples, including more than a few lawyer jokes, How to Tell a Joke will appeal to anyone interested in humor or the art of public speaking.
