How can we prepare for a future that we cannot predict, let alone control? How do we lead our organizations in this real-time world?The rate of change is accelerating, the future is increasingly unpredictable, and we're overwhelmed with mind-boggling complexity. We have less and less time to think, less and less time to get in sync with what's happening. We cannot trust conventional wisdom to guide us. We must resolve many long-standing paradoxes between long or short-term thinking, expedient or ethical choices, the individual or the collective. We must be prepared for whatever emerges.Fortunately, we are becoming less competitive and more aligned in generating creative solutions to the world's intractable problems. The internet and social media allow for unprecedented levels of collaboration and mutual understanding. As the real-time world emerges around us, we can see the pluralistic nature of human society. Once again, we are reminded that human conversation is essential for our success and that anything is possible when we work together.Cultivate your most valuable capabilities. Living in a Real-Time World explores six conversational capabilities that we can cultivate to navigate uncertainty and learn what we need to know when we need to know it. More art than science, these innate capabilities tune the way we experience our circumstances, our relationships, our past, our present, and our future.A worthwhile listen for anyone interested in understanding what is happening today, preparing for an uncertain future, and living in a positive relationship with change. ungekürzt.

Master and Apprentice (Star Wars) (eBook, ePUB)
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERAn unexpected offer threatens the bond between Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi as the two Jedi navigate a dangerous new planet and an uncertain future.A Jedi must be a fearless warrior, a guardian of justice, and a scholar in the ways of the Force. But perhaps a Jedi's most essential duty is to pass on what they have learned. Master Yoda trained Dooku; Dooku trained Qui-Gon Jinn; and now Qui-Gon has a Padawan of his own. But while Qui-Gon has faced all manner of threats and danger as a Jedi, nothing has ever scared him like the thought of failing his apprentice.Obi-Wan Kenobi has deep respect for his Master, but struggles to understand him. Why must Qui-Gon so often disregard the laws that bind the Jedi? Why is Qui-Gon drawn to ancient Jedi prophecies instead of more practical concerns? And why wasn't Obi-Wan told that Qui-Gon is considering an invitation to join the Jedi Council-knowing it would mean the end of their partnership? The simple answer scares him: Obi-Wan has failed his Master.When Jedi Rael Aveross, another former student of Dooku, requests their assistance with a political dispute, Jinn and Kenobi travel to the Royal Court of Pijal for what may be their final mission together. What should be a simple assignment quickly becomes clouded by deceit, and by visions of violent disaster that take hold in Qui-Gon's mind. As Qui-Gon's faith in prophecy grows, Obi-Wan's faith in him is tested-just as a threat surfaces which will demand that Master and Apprentice come together as never before, or be divided forever.- Shop: buecher
