Expand by Christian Bason,Jens Martin Skibsted Pdf

Today, it can seem as if the world has nothing but problems. And more than ever the boundaries of those problems are expanding in terms of the speed, scale, and impact by which they can alter business conditions, public governance, entire societies, the health of our planet, and the quality of our lives. Meeting these growing challenges requires ambitious new ways of designing solutions. With Expand: Stretching the Future By Design, authors Jens Martin Skibsted, a multiple-award winning designer, entrepreneur, and design philosopher, and Christian Bason, political scientist and CEO of the Danish Design Centre, take readers beyond “design thinking” to challenge current habits and carve out new space for more sustainable innovation. From transforming the ways we do business and reimagining health care, to creating planet-restoring housing and humanizing our digital lives in an age of AI, Expand explores how expansive thinking across six key areas—time, proximity, value, life, dimensions, and sectors—can provide radical, useful solutions to a whole host of current problems around the globe. With powerful real-world examples, the book challenges our freewheeling belief in technological determinism and its insensitivity toward ethics, humanity, and the environment. Expand is the first book to not just critique design thinking, but welcome it as a starting point for an ambitious, wide-ranging tale of how to expand and think beyond it. The best way to predict the future is to design it. Expand is the book that shows us how.

Expand by Shannon Graham Pdf

The expectations of leadership have turned your dream into a nightmare. Fear and uncertainty are ruling your every decision, and a bottom-line focus is driving your behavior and identity. Your family life and the organization are both suffering. There is little or no depth to your work, and the impact once defined by your vision is all but gone. You feeling the walls of the leadership box closing in, and the pressure is almost insurmountable.From an external perspective, you have an organization that works, though the internal culture falls far short of what it could be. You've lost sight of who you are and where you are going, and everyone can feel it. Growth, desire and happiness have become insignificant, washed aside in the overwhelming linear drive for achievement.Leadership began as our servant, though as it became institutionalized, it transformed into something we became a servant to. The success focus of the mainstream model is a zero-sum-gain realized without compassion for people or concern for positive global impact. Leadership is broken because it's one-dimensional and non-inclusive of some of the most fundamental aspects of being a great leader.We're all pioneers, but we're doing it in a non-excellent model with non-excellent methodologies. Try as you might, you will not discover limitless happiness and fulfillment until you break free and change the game. We need to regain the essence of what leadership is, and re-humanize the model.No longer can you live in a bottom-line-driven-box, and operate by unrealistic expectations for who and what a leader should be. It's time to deinstitutionalize and revolutionize leadership to have it once again be our servant; because when you transpose innovative, rebellious action into a limitless new era model, you get exponential growth.Leadership has to be about developing ourselves, because an organization can only expand in direct relation to the expansion of the founder. EXPAND: The World-Changing Art of Irresponsible Leadership covers both the inner game discipline and outer game systems required to be fulfilled and commercially successful at the same time. Success Mentor, Shannon Graham has a reality-shifting vision centered around "The Expanded Leader" - one who leads from wholeness and overflow, rather than emptiness and sacrifice. The result is an organization built as a function of the leader's wholeness, potential and full expression.From the depth of these founding elements comes the creation of a culture that leads to even more richness, innovation and creativity. The resultant shift transcends the organization to have global impact - transforming competition into collaboration, and helping leaders realize the fulfillment that comes from having amazing experiences in and of their own lives.Leadership is not intended to be a restrictive box that imprisons you; it is intended to be a framework for expansion for both the leader and the organization. Reading this book is about making a decision to raise your standards and to raise your ceiling for what you believe is possible. When you do, your vision expands, and the ceiling become the floor.

When Wings Expand by Mehded Maryam Sinclair Pdf

Winner of the Unpublished Muslim Writer's Award 2011. She wrapped her arms around me and said, "Nur! I know. I don't want to go. But all I can do is keep trusting in Allah. Nur, I will always be with you! My love and advice will always be with you to guide you in the right direction." She patted my heart. "They are forever sealed inside this little place." Writing on the pages of her journal, Nur, a teenage girl in Canada, charts the onset and advance of her mother's cancer. Nur watches her mother's body begin to shrink and her mood begin to darken. And when family and friends begin to encroach, Nur must face the prospect of her mother's looming death. Nur bears the crushing loss and finds her adolescent life more demanding and complex. But with the legacy of her mother's love, her family's support, and the guidance of her faith, she manages to overcome the searing pain and use her newfound strength to bring joy to the lives of others, showing them that after death wings can expand. Mehded Maryam Sinclair is a professional storyteller with twenty-five years of experience. Her career as a touring and teaching artist began with Vermont Council. She lived in Turkey for ten years, teaching language and storytelling, and now resides in Amman, Jordan.

Expanding Suburbia by Roger Webster Pdf

During the last few decades suburbia has grown enormously and become a phenomenon attracting the attention of scholars as well as practitioners by whom it is seen as an increasingly significant and complex area of modern life. The essays in this volume consider a range of representations of suburban life from the late nineteenth century to the present day, including fiction, film, and popular music, drawn from America and Australia as well as Britain. They explore and challenge traditional views of suburbia so that, rather than a location of conformity and stereotypicality, it can be viewed as a site of social conflict, division, and ambiguity as well as a source of significant creativity across a range of cultural texts. The volume takes a thematic approach, considering the rise of suburbia, imagined and real suburbias, alternative suburbias: all of the essays have a strong historical dimension and the overall approach is characterized by interdisciplinarity.
