Green Elephants by Simon Chapleau Pdf

How can an internal service providers create value? How can you add value when you don’t have “real” clients? Whether IT, HR, finance, legal, logistics or other, internal service providers are being asked to step to the plate and become value creators. But how? Why are some internal service providers considered strategic partners while others are merely cost centres? Why some ISP seem to have limitless budgets while others fight for every penny they have? Personality: the most powerful way to look at internal service providers and the value they add. And it all starts with four personality profiles: the Accountant, the Butler, the Nanny and the Agent. Personality plays a role in every type of daily actions, from how your service team handles user requests, from the way you manage projects to the employees you hire. And by aligning your personality to the need of the organization, you can become a real strategic partner. To explore and explain the role personality plays in every day action, Simon Chapleau looks beyond internal service providers, delving into behavioural and social studies, psychology and marketing, as well as conducting in-depth interviews with internal service providers that succeeded at becoming value creators. Chapleau reveals why a majority of spouses are surprised by their partner’s decision to divorce, and why you shouldn’t trust your intuition when evaluating the status of your relationships. What differentiates successful dieters from the others (hint, they start their day in a very bad way). And why giving great service isn’t enough to satisfy your users. Whether you realize it or not, you are already an Accountant, a Butler a Nanny or an Agent. The question is, are you playing to your strengths and are you aligned with what the organization expects of you. This book will show you.

A Big Elephant Has Been Killed by Yaw O. Agyeman Pdf

A Big Elephant Has Been Killed is a deeply moving and gripping narrative that interweaves stories of ordinary friendships and love's lost promises with a discussion of society and politics in contemporary Ghana. Although Ghana provides the setting, the novel foregrounds a range of issues relevant to Africa and the black Diaspora as a whole. Badly disillusioned from their years of youthful idealism, a group of friends clings with fleeting solace to their vision for their country through their discussions on poverty, pan-Africanism, underdevelopment, religious identity, social revolution and Africa's relationship with the West. But the challenges of their daily existence compel them to question the ethics and relevance of their idealism, and eventually lead to the desperate decision to steal from the "Big Elephant" in the penultimate gamble to empower themselves as agents of social transformation.

The Elephant's Girl by Celesta Rimington Pdf

A magical adventure for fans of Katherine Applegate and Jennifer Holm about a girl with a mysterious connection to the elephant who saved her life. An elephant never forgets, but Lexington Willow can't remember her past. Swept away by a tornado as a toddler, she was dropped in a nearby Nebraska zoo, where an elephant named Nyah protected her from the storm. With no trace of her family, Lex grew up at the zoo with her foster father, Roger; her best friend, Fisher; and the wind whispering in her ear. Years later, Nyah sends Lex a telepathic image of the woods outside the zoo. Soon, Lex is wrapped up in an adventure involving ghosts, lost treasure, and a puzzle that might be the key to finding her family. Can Lex summon the courage to discover who she really is--and why the tornado brought her here all those years ago?
