Delivering Resilient Health Care (Paperback)
Erik Hollnagel, Jeffrey Braithwaite, Robert L. Wears
R692 Discovery Miles 6 920
Shipped within 7 - 12 working days
Health care is under tremendous pressure regarding efficiency, safety, and economic viability. It has responded by adopting techniques that have been useful in other industries, such as quality management, lean production, and high reliability - although with limited, and all-too-often disappointing, results. The Resilient Health Care Network (RHCN) has worked since 2011 to facilitate the interaction and collaboration among practitioners and researchers interested in applying concepts from resilience engineering to health care and patient safety. This has met with considerable success, not least because the focus from the start was on developing concrete ways to complement a Safety-I perspective with a Safety-II perspective. Building on previous volumes, Delivering Resilient Health Care presents documented experiences and practical guidance on how to bring Resilient Health Care into practice. It provides concrete advice on how to prepare a study, how to choose the right data, how to collect it, how to analyse the data, and how to interpret the results. This fourth book in the Resilient Healthcare series contains contributions from international experts in health care, organisational studies and patient safety, as well as resilience engineering. This book provides a practical guide for delivering resilient healthcare, particularly for clinicians on the frontline of care unsure how to incorporate resilience into their everyday work, managers coordinating care, and for policymakers hoping to steer the system in the right direction. Other groups - patients, the media, and researchers - will also find much of interest here.
Introducing Employment Relations (Paperback, 4th Revised edition)
R1,125 Discovery Miles 11 250
Introducing Employment Relations draws on the most up-to-date research and many contemporary examples to encourage students to think critically about the significant issues surrounding employment relations from a variety of perspectives. Integrated learning features, factual examples, and real-life case studies prompt students to reflect on how employment relations are regulated, experienced, and contested, by organizations and employees, collectively or individually. End-of-chapter assignment and discussion questions then develop reflective learning and promote lively debate. This edition offers a brand new chapter on employment relations in an international context and in relation to globalisation, covering global supply chains, international trade unions, and labour conflict. Comparison between labour markets and the spread of neoliberalism and financialization are analysed in Chapter 2, with new material in Chapter 10 helping students turn a critical eye to how conflict is managed in practice, whether it's in the context of managing disciplinary procedures, staff absences, or grievances. Organized thematically to provide comprehensive coverage, while maintaining a critical focus to draw out the contemporary debates surrounding work, employment, and employment relations, it is clear to see why this book is the most trusted and thought-provoking introduction to the subject available. Williams' accessible and focussed style combined with the carefully designed learning features means students can rely on this book to provide all they need to support their study of employment relations. This book is supported by an Online Resource Centre, which includes: For students: Flashcard glossary Web case studies Web links Video links Updates For lecturers: PowerPoint slides Case study guide Guide to end-of-chapter questions Guide to web cases Figures and tables from the book

Gender and Leadership in Unions (Hardcover, New)
Gill Kirton, Geraldine Healy
Reflecting the increased attention to gender and women in the field of employment relations, there is now a growing international literature on women and trade unions. The interest in women as trade unionists arises partly from the fact that women comprise 40 percent of trade union membership in the USA and over 50 percent in the UK. Further, despite considerable overall union membership decline in both the UK and USA, more women than men are joining unions in both countries. Recognition of the importance of women to the survival and revival of trade union movements has in many cases produced an unprecedented commitment to equality and inclusion at the highest level. Yet the challenge is to ensure that this commitment is translated to action and improves the experience of women in their union and in their workplace.
Gender and Leadership in Trade Unions explores and evaluates the similarities and differences in equality strategies pursued by unions in the US and the UK. It assesses the conditions experienced by women union members and how these impact on their leadership, both potential and actual. Women have made gains in both countries within union leadership and decision-making structures, however, climbing the ladder to leadership positions remains far from a smooth process. In the trade union context, women face multiple barriers that resonate with the barriers facing aspiring women leaders in other organizational contexts, including the gendered division of domestic work; the organization and nature of women s work; the organization and nature of trade union work and the masculine culture of trade unions. The discussion of women trade union leaders is situated more broadly within debates on governance, leadership and democracy within social justice activism.
Branding in Governance and Public Management (Paperback)
Jasper Eshuis, Erik-Hans Klijn
Politicians and public managers utilize branding to communicate with the public as well as to position themselves within the ever-present media now so central to political and administrative life. They must further contend with stakeholders holding contradictory opinions about the nature of a problem, the desirable solutions , and the values at stake. Branding is used as a strategy to manage perceptions, motivate stakeholders, communicate clear messages in the media, and position policies and projects. Brands have a unique ability to simplify such messages and motivate different actors to invest their energy in governance processes. Public administration scholars so far have however paid little attention to branding. This book provides a systematic analysis of branding as phenomenon in governance. It deals with the nature of public branding, its relation to existing theories in public administration, the way branding is used as a managerial strategy in governance processes, and the risks and limitations of branding. Branding in Public Governance and Management highlights the growing importance of public banding as a public management strategy to influence political events, decision-making processes and outcomes in governance processes.
The Comprehensive Handbook of School Safety (Hardcover, New)
E. Scott Dunlap
In most schools you will probably see one, if not all of the following: Metal detectors to prevent handguns and other weapons from being brought onto school property Students in standardized uniforms to prevent the appearance of gang affiliations Police officers patrolling the property to deter violent activity as well as respond to incidents Such evolutions have forever changed how we view the safety of our students. However, the phrase "school safety" goes beyond these issues of security put in place to protect students, faculty, and staff. Environmental factors also play a role. The Comprehensive Handbook of School Safety expands the dialogue on school safety to comprehensively address the spectrum of safety risks such as bullying, fire safety, playground and transportation safety, and more. Based on research and practical experience, it helps school administrators develop appropriate programs that protect all individuals from harm. Author E. Scott Dunlap brings his experience in OSHA and DOT compliance, behavior-based safety, and organizational safety culture to bear on the issue of school safety. He presents school safety from a holistic perspective and details vulnerability assessment tools and incident investigation forms to help schools develop a comprehensive safety program. By focusing on this range of issues, the book's dynamic perspective puts the keys to achieving an effective safety program within easy reach.
The Challenger Launch Decision - Risky Technology, Culture, and Deviance at NASA (Paperback, 2nd Enlarged ed.)
Diane Vaughan
When the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded on January 28, 1986, millions of Americans became bound together in a single, historic moment. Many still vividly remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard about the tragedy. Diane Vaughan recreates the steps leading up to that fateful decision, contradicting conventional interpretations to prove that what occurred at NASA was not skullduggery or misconduct but a disastrous mistake. Why did NASA managers, who not only had all the information prior to the launch but also were warned against it, decide to proceed? In retelling how the decision unfolded through the eyes of the managers and the engineers, Vaughan uncovers an incremental descent into poor judgment, supported by a culture of high-risk technology. She reveals how and why NASA insiders, when repeatedly faced with evidence that something was wrong, normalized the deviance so that it became acceptable to them. In a new preface, Vaughan reveals the ramifications for this book and for her when a similar decision-making process brought down NASA's Space Shuttle Columbia in 2003.
Political Protest and Labor Solidarity in Korea - White-Collar Labor Movements after Democratization (1987-1995) (Paperback)
Doowon Suh
East Asia has undergone an intense period of economic development and accompanying social change in recent years and among the unforeseen social phenomena that have emerged are new forms of trade unions. This book analyzes the importance of such a new union movement in Korea by focusing on the promotion of social reforms by, and the intensification of interunion solidarity between the white-collar movement factions. Three sectors of the white-collar movement are examined-financial, hospital, and research unions. In comparing their success in raising social reforms and fortifying interunion solidarity, Doowon Suh considers diverse macro and micro social relations, such as the structure of political opportunities, organization leadership, and the effects of internal labor markets. This book is an important read for those interested in industrial relations, labor history and social movements in Korea.
The Impact of Economic Democracy - Profit-sharing and employee-shareholding schemes (Paperback)
Michael Poole, Glenville Jenkins
First published in 1990, this work examines the link between the economic performance of companies and profit sharing. The relationship is a complex one: industrial relations may be improved by schemes, but good employers are likely to introduce profit sharing in any case; and though attitudes to work do change, schemes have more immediate impact on satisfaction an communications than on productivity and effort put into work.
Organise or die? - Leadership in South Africa's National Union of Mineworkers from Apartheid to democracy (Paperback)
Raphael Botiveau
Organise or Die? Leadership in South Africa's National Union of Mineworkers from Apartheid to Democracy is the first in-depth study of one of the leading trade unions in the country. Founded in 1982, the trade union played a key role in the struggle against white minority rule, before turning into a central protagonist of the ruling Tripartite Alliance after apartheid. Deftly navigating through workerist, social movement and political terrains that shape the South African labour landscape, this book sheds light on the path that led to the unprecedented 2012 Marikana massacre, the dissolution of the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) federation and to fractures within the African National Congress (ANC) itself. Working with the notions of organisational agency and strategic bureaucratisation, Raphael Botiveau shows how the founding leadership of NUM built their union's structures with a view to mirror those of the multinational mining companies NUM faced. Good leadership proved key to the union's success in recruiting and uniting mineworkers and NUM became an impressive school for union and political cadres, producing a number of South Africa's top post-apartheid leaders. An incisive analysis of leadership styles and strategies shows how the fragile balance between an increasingly distant leadership and an increasingly militant membership gradually broke down. Botiveau provides a compelling narrative of NUM's powerful history and the legacy of its leadership. It will appeal to a broad readership - including journalists, students and social sciences scholars - interested in South Africa's contemporary politics and labour history.

Discrimination Law Issues for the Safety Professional (Hardcover, New)
Thomas D. Schneid
Safety professionals communicate, directly and indirectly with a large number of employees and others on a daily basis. While not lawyers, they regularly deal with legal issues. A subset of their responsibilities includes how to discuss safety without crossing the discriminatory line. To do this, they need an understanding of discrimination laws. Discrimination Law Issues for the Safety Professional gives them exactly that. It provides general knowledge of the laws and regulations that offer protection to employees and individuals against discrimination in the workplace.
Created by safety expert Thomas Schneid, specifically for safety professionals, the book takes a proactive approach to identifying situations where potential discrimination against an employee or individual may occur, and supplies guidance on how to take immediate action to address the potential discriminatory situation. Schneid also identifies "red flag" situations where potential discrimination against an employee or individual may surface and safety professionals should proceed with caution. Once they can recognize these red flags, they can take immediate action to address the potential discriminatory situation.
Although many texts address discrimination in the workplace, very few, if any, educate individuals and employers on how to prevent" "acts and omissions in the workplace that can result in discrimination from a safety perspective. With the multitude of laws and regulations addressing the prohibition of discrimination in the workplace, often legal actions result from individuals and employers simply not being knowledgeable in the requirements of the law. Written in clear, plain language, not legalese or business speak, this book delineates the procedures that safety professionals need to know in the area of labor, employment, and other laws impacting the safety function.
Employment with a Human Face - Balancing Efficiency, Equity, and Voice (Paperback, New edition)
John W. Budd
R538 R433 Discovery Miles 4 330 Save R105 (20%)
John W. Budd contends that the turbulence of the current workplace and the importance of work for individuals and society make it vitally important that employment be given "a human face." Contradicting the traditional view of the employment relationship as a purely economic transaction, with business wanting efficiency and workers wanting income, Budd argues that equity and voice are equally important objectives. The traditional narrow focus on efficiency must be balanced with employees' entitlement to fair treatment (equity) and the opportunity to have meaningful input into decisions (voice), he says. Only through a greater respect for these human concerns can broadly shared prosperity, respect for human dignity, and equal appreciation for the competing human rights of property and labor be achieved.Budd proposes a fresh set of objectives for modern democracies efficiency, equity, and voice and supports this new triad with an intellectual framework for analyzing employment institutions and practices. In the process, he draws on scholarship from industrial relations, law, political science, moral philosophy, theology, psychology, sociology, and economics, and advances debates over free markets, globalization, human rights, and ethics. He applies his framework to important employment-related topics, such as workplace governance, the New Deal industrial relations system, comparative industrial relations, labor union strategies, and globalization. These analyses create a foundation for reforming employment practices, social norms, and public policies. In the book's final chapter, Budd advocates the creation of the field of human resources and industrial relations and explores the wider implications of this renewed conceptualization of industrial relations."
Management Obligations for Health and Safety (Paperback, New)
Gregory William Smith
In recent years, the safety management field has placed leadership and commitment at the center of effective workplace health and safety programs. At the same time, personal liability for workplace health and safety has increased, resulting in poor outcomes for individual managers. Discussing the minimum expectations that courts and tribunals have of managers, Management Obligations for Health and Safety examines the relationship between those expectations and effective safety performance.
The book looks at safety management from the perspective of management obligations. What expectations are placed on managers at all levels of an organization to ensure that the workplace and systems of work are safe, and how are these expectations considered and analyzed by courts and public inquiries? As importantly, the book explores how management actions in relation to these obligations and expectations influence, positively or negatively, the safety performance of an organization. With examples drawn from legal and quasi-legal processes, one of the more enlightening and thought-provoking features of this book is the extensive use of cross examination taken from various proceedings.
No one person reacts the same to finding him- or herself responsible for managing the aftermath of a death at work, or having to deal with the immediate pressure of being subject to interviews and investigation by safety regulators (much less the drawn-out experience of the legal process), but one of the most constant reactions is "Why didn't anybody tell me about this?" Stressing the importance of safety culture, this book details the true nature of the expectations that are placed on managers by virtue of their obligation to provide a safe workplace.
Ergonomics in the Automotive Design Process (Hardcover, New)
Vivek D. Bhise
The auto industry is facing tough competition and severe economic constraints. Their products need to be designed "right the first time" with the right combinations of features that not only satisfy the customers but continually please and delight them by providing increased functionality, comfort, convenience, safety, and craftsmanship. Based on the author's forty plus years of experience as a human factors researcher, engineer, manager, and teacher who has conducted numerous studies and analyses, Ergonomics in the Automotive Design Process covers the entire range of ergonomics issues involved in designing a car or truck and provides evaluation techniques to avoid costly mistakes and assure high customer satisfaction. The book begins with the definitions and goals of ergonomics, historic background, and ergonomics approaches. It covers human characteristics, capabilities, and limitations considered in vehicle design in key areas such as anthropometry, biomechanics, and human information processing. It then examines how the driver and the occupants are positioned in the vehicle space and how package drawings and/or computer-aided design models are created from key vehicle dimensions used in the automobile industry. The author describes design tools used in the industry for occupant packaging, driver vision, and applications of other psychophysical methods. He covers important driver information processing concepts and models and driver error categories to understand key considerations and principles used in designing controls, displays, and their usages, including current issues related to driver workload and driver distractions. The author has included only the topics and materials that he found to be useful in designing car and truck products and concentrated on the ergonomic issues generally discussed in the automotive design studios and product development teams. He distills the information needed to be a member of an automotive product development team and create an ergonomically superior vehicle.
Design Risk Management - Contribution to Health and Safety (Paperback)
Stuart D. Summerhayes
R1,296 R927 Discovery Miles 9 270 Save R369 (28%)
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM Regulations 2007) is a revision of a major piece of legislation within the wide portfolio of construction-related legislation. It seeks to improve the long term health and safety performance of the UK construction industry, with ownership of health and safety proactively undertaken by the integrated project team.
Good design has always embraced health and safety issues and design teams remain essential players as well as key contributors and communicators in matters of health and safety management. Designers have a legal responsibility to ensure that their designs account for health and safety at all stages within the holistic envelope of construction.
"Design Risk Management: Contribution to Health and Safety" gives detailed guidance to construction practitioners with design responsibility on how to identify and manage health and safety risks, and on the design strategies to be followed. It seeks to focus on accountability with due emphasis on the minimisation of unnecessary bureaucracy and offers documentation trails that provide an insight to managing risk and not paperwork. Subsequently it offers a process by which designers can discharge their duties in compliance with the CDM Regulations.
Workers' Movements and Strikes in the Twenty-First Century - A Global Perspective (Paperback)
Joerg Nowak, Madhumita Dutta, Peter Birke
While workers movements have been largely phased out and considered out-dated in most parts of the world during the 1990s, the 21st century has seen a surge in new and unprecedented forms of strikes and workers organisations. The collection of essays in this book, spanning countries across global South and North, provides an account of strikes and working class resistance in the 21st century. Through original case studies, the book looks at the various shades of workers' movements, analysing different forms of popular organisation as responses to new social and economic conditions, such as restructuring of work and new areas of investment.
The Human Contribution - Unsafe Acts, Accidents and Heroic Recoveries (Paperback, New Ed)
This book explores the human contribution to the reliability and resilience of complex, well-defended systems. Usually the human is considered a hazard - a system component whose unsafe acts are implicated in the majority of catastrophic breakdowns. However there is another perspective that has been relatively little studied in its own right - the human as hero, whose adaptations and compensations bring troubled systems back from the brink of disaster time and again. What, if anything, did these situations have in common? Can these human abilities be 'bottled' and passed on to others? The Human Contribution is vital reading for all professionals in high-consequence environments and for managers of any complex system. The book draws its illustrative material from a wide variety of hazardous domains, with the emphasis on healthcare reflecting the author's focus on patient safety over the last decade. All students of human factors - however seasoned - will also find it an invaluable and thought-provoking read.
Running the Rails - Capital and Labor in the Philadelphia Transit Industry (Hardcover)
James Wolfinger
Philadelphia exploded in violence in 1910. The general strike that year was a notable point, but not a unique one, in a generations-long history of conflict between the workers and management at one of the nation's largest privately owned transit systems. In Running the Rails, James Wolfinger uses the history of Philadelphia's sprawling public transportation system to explore how labor relations shifted from the 1880s to the 1960s. As transit workers adapted to fast-paced technological innovation to keep the city's people and commerce on the move, management sought to limit its employees' rights. Raw violence, welfare capitalism, race-baiting, and smear campaigns against unions were among the strategies managers used to control the company's labor force and enhance corporate profits, often at the expense of the workers' and the city's well-being. Public service workers and their unions come under frequent attack for being a "special interest" or a hindrance to the smooth functioning of society. This book offers readers a different, historically grounded way of thinking about the people who keep their cities running. Working in public transit is a difficult job now, as it was a century ago. The benefits and decent wages Philadelphia public transit workers secured-advances that were hard-won and well deserved-came as a result of fighting for decades against their exploitation. Given capital's great power in American society and management's enduring quest to control its workforce, it is remarkable to see how much Philadelphia's transit workers achieved.
Global Restructuring, Labour and the Challenges for Transnational Solidarity (Hardcover)
Andreas Bieler, Ingemar Lindberg
Globalisation has put national labour movements under severe pressure, due to the increasing transnationalisation of production, with the production of many goods being organised across borders, and the informalisation of the economy. Through a range of case studies, this volume examines the possibilities and obstacles to transnational solidarity of labour in a period of global restructuring and changing global political economy. It brings together a range of international and transnational case studies, examining successful and failed transnational solidarity covering inter-trade union co-operation as well as co-operation between trade unions and social movements within the formal and informal economy, and the public and private sector. It is structured in six parts and examines: Globalisation and the new challenges for transnational solidarity Inter trade union co-operation across borders. The dynamics of co-operation between trade unions and social movements across borders, looking at developing and developed countries. The struggles to defend the public sector against private service providers. The possible ways forward towards transnational solidarity of formal and informal labour in the global economy. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of International Political Economy, International Relations, Industrial Relation, Globalisation, Geography and History.
European Works Councils and Industrial Relations - A Transnational Industrial Relations Institution in the Making (Hardcover, New)
Jeremy Waddington
The creation of European Works Councils is arguably the most important measure taken in global industrial relations in recent years. Adopted with the primary goal of facilitating European-level workers' participation in information-sharing and consultation in multinational companies, EWCs have also been central to a wide-ranging process of institution-building at the European level. European Works Councils charts the growth in the number of EWCs and the development of practices associated with EWCs between 1994, when legislation on EWCs was adopted, and 2009, when the initial legislation was amended. Drawing on original, large-scale, survey data, the book shows that the quality of information and consultation is generally poor, thus bringing into question the soft touch legislative approach to employee participation of the European Commission.
The reforms implemented within trade union organizations to accommodate the development of EWCs are explored, together with the initiatives taken to extend the role of EWCs beyond information and consultation to incorporate negotiation. Articulation between EWCs and trade union organizations is shown to be integral to EWCs as institutions of information and consultation, and as a means to influence managerial decision-making. Similarly, the development of EWCs is shown to be a process contested by employers' organizations and managers on the one hand and labour organizations on the other. The character of this contestation ensures that the category 'EWC' includes a wide range of institutional forms and practices.
Advances in Cross-Cultural Decision Making (Hardcover, New)
Dylan Schmorrow, Denise Nicholson
The primary focus of the Cross Cultural Decision Making field is specifically on the intersections between psychosocial theory provided from the social sciences and methods of computational modeling provided from computer science and mathematics. While the majority of research challenges that arise out of such an intersection fall quite reasonably under the rubric of "human factors", although these topics are broad in nature, this book is designed to focus on crucial questions regarding data acquisition as well as reconciliation of mathematical and psychosocial modeling methodologies. The utility of this area of research is to aid the design of products and services which are utilized across the globe in the variety of cultures and aid in increasing the effectiveness of cross-cultural group collaboration. To aid a researcher in defining the requirements and metrics for this complex topic applications and use cases of CCDM can be found in sections: I. Applications of Human, Social, Culture Behavioral Modeling Technology IV. Cross Cultural Decision Making: Implications for Individual and Team Training X. Tactical Culture Training: Narrative, Personality, and Decision-Making XII. Use Cases of Cross Cultural Decision Making Theories and techniques for understanding, capturing, and modeling the components of Culture are covered in these sections: II. Assessing and Developing Cross-Cultural Competence III. Civilizational Change: Ideological, Economic, and Historical Change V. Cultural Models for Decision Making VI. Extracting Understanding from Diverse Data Sources VII. Hybrid & Multi-Model Computational Techniques for HSCB Applications IX. Socio-cultural Models and Decision-Making VIII. Sense Making in Other Cultures: Dynamics of Interaction XI. Understanding The science and technology provided in this book represents the latest available from the international community. It is hoped that this content can be used to tackle two of the biggest challenges in this area: 1) Unification and standardization of data being collected for CCDM applications/research so these data can support as many different thrusts under the CCDM umbrella as possible; and 2) Validation and verification with respect to utility and underlying psychosocial theory. Solutions for both of these must be in the context of, and will require, sound methods of integrating a complex array of quite different behavioral models and modeling techniques. This book would of special value to researchers and practitioners in involved in the design of products and services which are marketed and utilized in a variety of different countries Seven other titles in the Advances in Human Factors and Ergonomics Series are: Advances in Human Factors and Ergonomics in Healthcare Advances in Applied Digital Human Modeling Advances in Cognitive Ergonomics Advances in Occupational, Social and Organizational Ergonomics Advances in Human Factors, Ergonomics and Safety in Manufacturing and Service Industries Advances in Ergonomics Modeling & Usability Evaluation Advances in Neuroergonomics and Human Factors of Special Populations

Of Forests and Fields - Mexican Labor in the Pacific Northwest (Paperback)
Mario Jimenez Sifuentez
Just looking at the Pacific Northwest's many verdant forests and fields, it may be hard to imagine the intense work it took to transform the region into the agricultural powerhouse it is today. Much of this labor was provided by Mexican guest workers, Tejano migrants, and undocumented immigrants, who converged on the region beginning in the mid-1940s. Of Forests and Fields tells the story of these workers, who toiled in the fields, canneries, packing sheds, and forests, turning the Pacific Northwest into one of the most productive agricultural regions in the country. Employing an innovative approach that traces the intersections between Chicana/o labor and environmental history, Mario Sifuentez shows how ethnic Mexican workers responded to white communities that only welcomed them when they were economically useful, then quickly shunned them. He vividly renders the feelings of isolation and desperation that led to the formation of ethnic Mexican labor organizations like the Pineros y Campesinos Unidos Noroeste (PCUN) farm workers union, which fought back against discrimination and exploitation. Of Forests and Fields not only extends the scope of Mexican labor history beyond the Southwest, it offers valuable historical precedents for understanding the struggles of immigrant and migrant laborers in our own era. Sifuentez supplements his extensive archival research with a unique set of first-hand interviews, offering new perspectives on events covered in the printed historical record. A descendent of ethnic Mexican immigrant laborers in Oregon, Sifuentez also poignantly demonstrates the links between the personal and political, as his research leads him to amazing discoveries about his own family history.

The Leadership Joy of Being a Great No.2
By Frederick E. Allen, published on Forbes, 06/18/2014
Don't settle for second place, says almost every leadership writer out there. Correct, Richard Hytner would respond. Rather than settling for it, embrace it, love it, glory in it. Hytner, a former chief executive of Saatchi & Saatchi for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and now down a slot as deputy chairman, is the author of Consiglieri: Leading From the Shadows, a new book devoted to the seriously underappreciated role of the expert No. 2. It's a trove of advice about how to be a great deputy and principal adviser, a calling that has brought out the best in people as varied and admirable as Warren Buffett's Charlie Munger, Anna Wintour's Grace Coddington, Abraham Lincoln's William Seward, and Henry VIII's Thomas Cromwell.
I talked to Richard Hytner about the book and its many lessons.
Fred Allen: What made you want to write a book about secondary leaders. Was there a moment when the idea caught you and stuck?
Richard Hytner: Yes, there was a moment, about three years ago. I was on a train talking to two people who were asking me about how I was finding my role as deputy chairman as opposed to my role as chief executive of a big region. And I said, it's incredible—I've never been so happy. And when they probed that, I started to think about how I really was happier knowing I had more influence and effect as a No. 2. We talked about the fact that nothing had really been written about that, so I said, I've got a book in me, and I think that's going to be my book. I started to interview people and was surprised at how willing they were to talk about this, how much they wanted to talk about it, how even the most ego-driven chief executives almost wistfully looked forward to the day when they might park that responsibility and start to pass on their wisdom as chairmen or chairwomen, not executive directors. I was also struck by how many people violently agreed that the No. 2 job gets a very bad rap.
Allen: Why is that?
Hytner: I think there is something deep in our backgrounds, certainly in the Anglo-Saxon world, that says: Hands up, who's going to be the team captain? And once that appointment gets made, everybody else is the also-ran or the silver medalist.
Allen: But, using your shorthand (you call top bosses As and their consiglieri Cs), the vast majority of people must not be As.
Hytner: Yes, statistically we're all playing the wrong game. And I spoke to so many people in C positions who are genuinely happy to be there, to stretch themselves there. There's great pleasure in performing that role well.
Allen: How does one figure out if one is at heart an A or a C?
Hytner: Starting personally, I always believed I was an A, by inclination, by upbringing, by experience, by education, by initial experience in the workplace. And gradually I realized that you can have an immense impact not being the leader. There are certain qualities that the A and the C share. You can't be a leader of any sort unless you are trusted, unless people believe you're competent, act with integrity, and have a certain degree of emotional intelligence. The differences seem to be that if you're going to be the leader you have to be comfortable with decision-making, you have to be comfortable these days making decisions very quickly, you have to love the adrenaline of action, you have to be comfortable in the limelight, operating under the intense scrutiny of the media and other stakeholders. The C, by contrast, is a more private person, possibly more reflective, definitely someone who likes to see success in others, someone who's comfortable giving up a lot, whether it's status, cash, ego, or overt authority. You have to get your pleasure privately from seeing an outcome that you want to see happen, without your name attached to it. I think there are definitely different motivations and qualities involved in the two positions.
Allen: Do you have an all-time favorite C?
Hytner: I truly admire a number of people I interviewed for the book. I admire a lady called Nicki Chapman who features in the book who has been the publicist and plugger for a number of famous musicians who must have the biggest egos I can imagine. All the As who I spoke to about her said they trust her, she's got 100% integrity, she's no pushover, she will tell us straight if we're misbehaving, she's a rock. I think there's something rock-like about great Cs. In historical terms, I think Harry Hopkins is a great example of an extraordinary convener of people across cultures and countries to effect an extraordinary outcome. To be working with Churchill and Stalin and Franklin Roosevelt and create admiration amongst them all took an extraordinary person, and his loyalty was simply to FDR and the cause. He's a great example.
Allen: Who was the worst C ever?
Hytner: Well, I just saw Macbeth yesterday, the brilliant production in which Kenneth Branagh stars, and Lady Macbeth is some C. She is a piece of work. Together they conspire to do awful things, but I think without her extraordinary ambition for him, for her A, things might not have unraveled quite so quickly. Then there's Iago in Shakespeare, the most malevolent C imaginable. I didn't interview any malign Cs. There's a great clip on YouTubeof Stalin having to silence his Cs. He has to ring a bell in the Politburo to stop all his flatterers from clapping. They literally wouldn't stop. I think the flatterers, the fauners, are the dangerous Cs.
Allen: What's the key to a great team of A and C?
Hytner: I think a great team is made up of a fantastic A, brilliantly trusted, able to cast around him or her a diverse set of consiglieri, a combination of people who will make things happen, who will enlighten and educate, who will tell their leader the truth, and who will liberate that leader. It's really a diverse set of talents—truth-tellers, gamers, fixers, people confident to disagree with each other. And it's a team that has a higher-order purpose. Every member of the team buys into what the organization is trying to do, its dreams and aspirations, how it goes about its business. Everybody's really clear what their role is within that, and they are generous with each other. They understand each other's strengths and weaknesses, and they can play to that.
Allen: Is the C role more appropriate for one gender or the other?
Hytner: I don't think that's an issue. I think great leaders are great leaders. But I do think that some of the skills innate in the C role have been brilliantly performed by women. One of the hopes I've had in writing the book is that if more men felt comfortable with the C position, that might equalize the opportunities for women to take the A position. So one of the sort of secondary objectives of the book is just to get men more comfortable with playing support roles, which of course they can do extraordinarily well.

Is nowhere safe from Google? Now StreetView becomes SeaView with virtual tours of the world's great coral reefs
Project aims to map coral reefs around the world using specially developed camera
Hopes to discover new species
By Mark Prigg
Published: 05:03 EST, 26 September 2012 | Updated: 02:57 EST, 27 September 2012
It has covered streets, parks, historic monuments, and even Scott's hut in the Antarctic.
Now, Google has gone underwater for its latest addition to its street view service - with tours of the world's greatest coral reefs.
The firm has partnered with the Catlin Seaview Survey to add areas from the Great Barrier reef to Monterey Bay.
Google's latest search project allows users to visit the world's greatest coral reefs without ever leaving their laptop.
The underwater imagery highlights areas in the Great Barrier Reef and several other underwater spots in the Philippines and Hawaii.
Other areas include Lady Elliot Island, Molokini Crater, Maui, Hawaii, Hanauma Bay, Oahu, and Apo Island, Philippines.
Using specially designed tablet-operated underwater camera,the project aims to collect 50,000 images that will be collected through continuous high-resolution, 360-degree panoramic imagery.When stitched together, these images will allow people to choose a location along the Great Barrier Reef, dip underwater and go for a viewer-controlled virtual dive in Google Maps.
The Catlin Seaview Survey is sponsored by Catlin Group Limited, an international specialty property/casualty insurer and reinsurer.
'The Global Reef Record is a game-changing scientific tool that scientists around the world will have at their fingertips,' said the project's chief scientist, Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg from the Global Change Institute at The University of Queensland.
'They will be able to monitor change in marine environments now and in the future.
'Marine scientists researching any aspect of the reef will be able to study these environments from any of the surveys we conduct.
The new service also includes stunning panoramic pictures of reefs from above the surface.
The images reveal stunning coral reefs from around the world. Here, Apo island in the Philippines can be seen.
It's incredibly rewarding and exciting to be leading a talented team of scientists as the first Catlin Seaview Survey expedition begins.
'The possibilities of what we will discover about coral reefs are almost endless.
'And right now, information on how these endangered ecosystems are responding to climate change is incredibly important, given that almost 25 percent of marine species live in and around coral reefs,' Professor Hoegh-Guldberg said.

Google said the images will help users understand more about the sea.
'We are partnering with the Catlin Seaview Survey to make this amazing imagery available to more than one billion monthly users of Google Maps across the world.
HOW THEY DID IT
To create the amazing underwater images, Google and the Caitlin survey developed specially designed tablet-operated underwater cameras.
Complete with their own propulsion system, the images are captured through a spherical camera housing that allows continuous high-resolution, 360-degree panoramic imagery to be collected as divers steer through the reefs.
The project aims to collect 50,000 images using this technique.
Each image will be geo-located, with automated technologies for rapidly assessing the amount of coral cover and other life forms from locations at 20 separate coral reefs along the entire length of the Great Barrier Reef.
Researchers developed a special underwater camera for the project.
'Together we want to make these special underwater locations as accessible to people as the roads and landmarks they explore in Google Maps each day,' said Jenifer Austin Foulkes, Manager, Google's Oceans Program.

This special collection of underwater imagery highlights areas in the Great Barrier Reef and several other underwater spots in the Philippines and Hawaii, including Lady Elliot Island, Molokini Crater, Maui, Hawaii, Hanauma Bay, Oahu, and Apo Island, Philippines.
The survey on the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea runs until the end of December and will visit 20 separate coral reefs along the 2,300km reef on an unprecedented scale and depth range – including sections of the reef that have never previously been seen or studied before.
It will then continue on to selected global locations in 2013 including Hawaii, the Philippines and Bermuda.
There are two science components to the Catlin Seaview Survey: a Shallow Reef Survey and a Deep Reef Survey:
Shallow Reef Survey: The Shallow Reef Survey will involve scientists using state-of-the-art digital technology to capture approximately 50,000 360-degree panoramic images of the reef that can be linked to create a virtual dive experience.
Many of the images also feature local wildlife, such as this turtle captured swimming under the camera.
The images also form part of Google's wonders project, which aims to give virtual tour of wonders around the world.
This will provide a broad scale baseline for understanding change on coral reefs.
Deep Reef Survey: Using diving robots and other innovative instrument packages, the Catlin Seaview Survey Team will begin to explore deep water reef systems that are very rarely visited by humans, yet may hold some of the secrets of whether or not coral reefs could survive rapid climate change.
Using a combination of HD cameras, deep-diving robots and survey equipment, the deep-water component will provide a comprehensive study of the health composition and biodiversity of the deep-water reefs on the Great Barrier Reef.
It will also experimentally assess their susceptibility to increased temperatures and ocean acidification, which are byproducts of a changing climate.
It's entirely probable new species will be discovered in these deeper waters.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey Defended Decision Not to Take Down Trump Tweet in Call With Rep. Ilhan Omar: WaPo
Updated Apr. 25, 2019 6:42PM ET / Published Apr. 25, 2019 6:33PM ET
Jim Bourg/Reuters
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey reportedly called Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) earlier this week and defended the company's decision to not take down President Trump's tweet of a video targeting her, The Washington Post reports. The video, which showed Omar talking about 9/11 along with footage from the terrorist attacks, was tweeted by Trump on his official account and sparked death threats against Omar. During the call, the lawmaker reportedly asked Dorsey why Twitter didn't remove Trump's tweet. Dorsey reportedly said the tweet didn't violate any of the company's rules, and pointed out that the clip had circulated beyond Twitter's platform. In a statement, Twitter told the Post that Dorsey "emphasized that death threats, incitement to violence, and hateful conduct are not allowed" during the call. "We've significantly invested in technology to proactively surface this type of content and will continue to focus on reducing the burden on the individual being targeted. Our team has also consistently been in touch with Rep. Omar's office," the statement read.

The annual Jon Gruden-return-to-coaching rumours are picking up, but this year's batch are the strongest indication yet that he will coach again, and it could be soon.
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported that Gruden had reached out to other coaches to see whether they would be interested in joining his coaching staff if he took a job in 2018.
Gruden's top choice is said to be a reunion with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he won a Super Bowl.
The annual Jon Gruden-return-to-coaching rumours are picking up, but this year's batch is the strongest indication yet that he will leave ESPN and return to coaching in 2018.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network (via the Tampa Bay Times), Gruden has reached out to "former assistants and friends" to see who would want to join his coaching staff if were to return to coaching next season.
One team in particular appears to be the front-runner to land Gruden, and it is a team he is quite familiar with: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Bucs were a trendy preseason sleeper pick to make noise in the NFC South this season. Instead, they slipped to a disappointing 4-11 under Koetter. Mike Lombardi, a former NFL general manager, is among those who feel Koetter will soon be fired.
"A lot of people in the NFL are telling me that the name they're hearing is Gruden for that Bucs job," Lombardi said in October.
According to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, the Bucs will wait until after the season to decide the fate of Koetter. But Stroud added – before the Bucs' loss on Sunday to the Carolina Panthers – that "it's nearly imperative that the Bucs win or play incredibly well in both" of their remaining games if Koetter has any hope of saving his job.


It was a cold autumn evening, not unlike this one, roughly ten years ago when five guys met around some pizza to discuss the name for their new film company. After what I'm sure was a good two hours of joking around and getting sidetracked, we attempted to settle on a name. Unfortunately, the winning idea at the end of that first meeting was still uninspiring.
Our initial attempts at naming the company all centered around video-themed things. Even at that early stage, we knew that there was value in clarity. If a new prospective client stumbled onto our webpage, we wanted them to know they'd found the right place. The problem was that ideas like "Visionary Entertainment," "Media Makers," and "The Video Production Company" were not exactly names that spoke to our brand. They may have described our status as a media production company, but we wanted to communicate more about our vision and mission.
Speaking of vision, the name "Backflip" actually came to me in a dream. I know that sounds like the plot of a Lifetime made-for-tv movie, but it's true. At our next company meeting I shared my dream that we had named the company "Backflip Films." We thought about it for awhile and decided that we liked it. The name felt like it had more energy. It had some alliteration. It was fun to say. And more than anything, we felt like it stood out from the "just another video company" names we had been stuck on.
Over the years, we've experimented with making the name mean more. We brainstormed catchphrases like "we'll do backflips for you" or backflip analogies like "step one – get up, step two – do something awesome, step three – land it" but everything just felt cheesy. We settled on just letting the name be its own thing. In the end, it still captures our idea. Something fun. Something energetic. Something awesome. We're not your grandmother's production company. (By the way, who does your grandmother use for video production?) Mostly, we wanted people to see us as the place to go when you're looking to push the envelope. Every project has the potential to be something special. It doesn't matter what industry or subject matter, it should be engaging, thought provoking, fun, sad, motivating… Let's not make "just a basic corporate video." Let's make awesome.

These two are just cute as a button on their own– but put them together and it's cuteness overload! Seriously. Between Stephanie's stunning blue eyes and Dodd's sweet smile, these two were truly a joy to photograph. Of course it also helps that they chose the perfect location for their engagement photo shoot! Stephanie wanted a mix of looks and did lots of research driving around town beforehand to find the perfect spots for photos– which I can totally appreciate since I scout for new and different locations in and around Orlando all the time as a photographer!
I had actually been wanting to shoot in some of these lesser known spots around Winter Park, but often times my engaged couples don't care to drive from place to place which is totally understandable. However, Stephanie and Dodd were all in and kindly chauffeured me around as well as we explored the beauty that Winter Park has to offer hopping out to take pictures all over the place! We even stopped in front of the apartment building where Stephanie's grandmother used to live which I thought was super sweet since it had special meaning to her.
From Hannibal Square to Park Ave to Rollins College — I had an amazing time capturing some super sweet and romantic photos of these two. And to think that Stephanie insisted to me that she and Dodd were awkward in front of the camera! Are you kidding me!? I'll let you take a peek at a few of my favorite images below and you tell me if you think there is anything remotely awkward about these two. I think you will agree with me that they could totally be models in another life! ;) I can't wait to capture their wedding day next April– I just know it's going to be amazing. Until then, feast your eyes on all of their ridiculous engagement session cuteness. You're welcome.

Seasoned Beaufort, SC vacationers have identified a few tips and tricks over the years when it comes to renting rental properties, however most beginners will be delighted to learn that many of these "methods" are in plain sight, if you know where to search.

Specific descriptions of bedrooms and beds are commonly available online. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you book.
Does your selected rental home fit your budget during that prime Summer week?

One individual in your family will have to be responsible for getting contributions and accepting responsibility for the complete rental fee at time of booking.
What amenities is your family interested in? Do you only desire a rental home with a swimming pool, spa or beach volleyball court?

When everything is out, begin a walk-through of the property to make sure no damage occurred during your remain. We advise walking through with the rental manager wherever possible (this isn't always the case).. If the property manager is not available, make certain you take photos of the property to record its condition.
How would you rate your experience? Just about all vacation rental management companies and rental search sites permit travellers to provide reviews.

If something went wrong and they failed to fix it in a acceptable manner, or when the property was not as described, you'll want to note that in your comments.
Did everyone have a blast? If everything was outstanding, next year's trip planning is going to be simple and easy. Otherwise, you have acquired valuable rental search experience to help with the next search.


Just some ninja-pirate arguments over treasure..
Why the native americans in the preview though?
so impressive, especially the water animations!!
That's huge and very detailed.
Nice work. How much time did you take doing this? Very detailed.
WOAH huuge surprise when I clicked on the preview. Fantastic!
There's something very charming in those little pixelguys and the waterfall also looks really nice. I have to agree with EdJr, that purple highlight looks really out of place. Maybe tone it down a little bit. As for the perspective, I am so used to seeing this sort of thing done in games, that I wouldn't worry about it at all.
Not a fan of the purple highlights, but the rest is lovely.
Seems like it could play like Samurai Gunn or Secret Ponchos.
@Hap - I fully agree with you. I was just trying to go for something new and unique. There are a lot of boring styles in the game dev world. Although this angle is clearly impossible in our dimension, hopefully it can be ignored for the sake of gaming.
Pffff, unless armed with guns, those pirates are dead meat.
However there seems to be one big issue to me!
The grass layer, as it looks now seems to be in paralel projection eg no depth (which is fine for games). But in this case we would never be able to see the sky! That is impossible!
Even if the intention is for the top layer to have perspective then it is still off, this horizon suggests that the field is very very very steep!
Whoa, this is brilliant on so many levels. The animated water is a very nice touch.
Why, yes; this is fantastic. Nice to meet you.
Do we have a "shut up and take my money" smiley?
My god.. I want to play this NOW!
Agreed with ADrawingMan, the entire scale looks amazing. Loved the background.
very nice. I like how its very easy to distinguish the ground from the background, and the characters from the background.
The sense of scale that this gives off is incredible.


By now you should have a good idea of what color is, what each of the colors mean and have a good understanding of the different types of color scheme available to you. However, knowing all of that doesn't help if you have no idea where to get started, or how to put that information into action.
Color is one of those things that seems really simple – but can be really difficult to get just right. And, as it's one of the really visual, focal parts to any design, then it's so, so easy to notice when something doesn't quite sit right. If such a major part of your design doesn't feel right, or represent your company, service or brand well, then it can make all the difference between users that stay and explore and those that disappear.
Owing to this, when you're choosing a color scheme you need to be really aware of the impact that color can have in your design – both good and bad.
It's absolutely fine to roll with your own color schemes and stray away from the default types (such as complementary), but when you're just starting out in working with creating your own color schemes you're probably better sticking with the main color scheme types. That way, it makes it more difficult – though not impossible – to take a wrong step and end up with a bad color scheme.
First up, we'll look at how you can start choosing a suitable color scheme for your project.
What you need to be thinking about here is what colors are suited to your brand, company or industry on the whole. There's a fantastic infographic over at Column Five Media which talks about the colors used in the top 100 brands around the world.
What I love to do is create mind-maps exploring the different tones and ideas that I have for a project – and look at the kind of message that the brand might want to project online. Then, compare this mind-map of ideas to the color meanings and see which match up the most – and that can help you to see which colors might be best suited for the project or brand.

KOSOVSKA MITROVICA – Five Serbs from the village of Gojbulja in north-eastern Kosovo-Metohija (KiM) were injured and admitted to hospital in the northern KiM city of Kosovska Mitrovica after they were attacked by a group of ethnic Albanians while picking apples in the village on Saturday. One of the men was hospitalized while others were sent home after receiving medical assistance. One of the patients, Milan Jovanovic, said that ethnic Albanians from the neighboring village of Miroce attacked them with sticks while they were picking apples in the area of his village at about half past noon today.
The attending physician in the Kosovska Mitrovica hospital, Dr. Sasa Dimic, told Tanjug that five patients aged 36 to 42 years old were admitted to hospital with head and body contusions at about 2 p.m. today. "Four of them were taken care of in the surgical admissions ward and after the diagnosis, they were given first aid treatment and allowed to go home, and one patient was kept in the hospital for further diagnosis and monitoring of his health," said Dimic. But none of the five injured men was in life danger, he added. Milan Jovanovic, who received minor injuries in the incident, told Tanjug that he and the others went to an orchard to pick some apples and were attacked by a group of ethnic Albanians who outnumbered them. He said the Albanians were from the neighboring village of Miroce, and they have been causing problems to the Serbs on daily basis ever since 1999, despite the fact that they have usurped Serb property.


The Nationals will line up against the Mets tonight at 8:07 PM with Tanner Roark on the mound. Roark looked sharp in his first outing of the season. Pedro Severino will again draw the start at catcher over Matt Wieters, and Matt Adams will play first base instead of Ryan Zimmerman.


Last month, Geraldo Rivera defended Yasser Arafat. Now, he's apologizing to Muslims because their lives are going to be more stressful as a result of the Boston marathon bombings. Lost on Geraldo is the added stress of those who have to live without loved ones or victims who have to live without limbs.
The line between Islam-apologist and Islamo-phobe is indeed blurring.
