Download or read book Managing at the Leading Edge: Navigating and Piloting Business Strategy at Critical Moments written by Tom Rose and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in an exciting time. Technology, globalization and demographic shifts provide new potential for personal and business success. Yet, research tells that only 30% of our attempts to implement change succeed amid the turbulence we encounter both within and outside today’s organizations. We need new ways of thinking and doing if we are to turn potential into performance. Managing at the Leading Edge provides a new evidence-based roadmap for leadership success in a dynamic context. Managing at the Leading Edge highlights lessons from the navigation and piloting practices used in high performing sailing. In the contemporary “white water” business environment, as at sea, achieving goals requires choosing a destination amidst uncertainty, adjusting to continually shifting conditions, converting the push and pull of environmental forces into momentum and using different skills at different times to negotiate hazards and achieve success. Easy-to-grasp and recall, this book proposes a framework of leadership with a dual focus on navigating and piloting. This framework is supported by new evidence-based insights about personal and organizational high performance. Systematic comparisons of high performing leaders and organizations with leaders and organizations that have not yet achieved this distinction illustrate how the principles of navigation and piloting apply. This research featured surveys of over 1,000 senior and mid-level leaders, the results of over a 100 interviews and the author’s extensive consultation experience with a host of leaders and organizations. Through case studies, discussion of relevant research, practical tools and templates, Managing at the Leading Edge will help you learn: • The critical tasks of leader navigating and piloting that lead to successful business change • Leadership skills through which the critical tasks of navigating and piloting are successfully executed including accountability, influence, problem solving agility and engagement • Strategies and tactics for managing points along a strategic initiative’s leading edge through with resistance to change is converted into momentum and progress • The critical hand-offs between the navigating and piloting functions and these functions drive change at the leading edge as synchronized system of high performance leadership • Leadership practices that create organizational high performance Armed with leadership capabilities of high performance navigating and piloting you will be able to recognize and act on opportunities for enhanced leadership impact and achieve results that matter for you, your peers and your organization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to ‘be a leader’? What does true leadership look like in the 2020s, when we’re facing complexity and challenges in every direction – from climate disaster to political division, and inequality to consumer mistrust? And how can we be part of the solution, while crafting a meaningful and satisfying career? The answers aren’t simple, but Holly Ransom is closer to finding them than most. Barely into her thirties, since chairing the G20 Youth Summit in 2014, Holly has been working with and learning from the heads of countries, companies and charities to help them disrupt what they do and change the world for the better. In her fearless and widely-researched manifesto, this innovative young thinker shows how it is within everyone’s reach, everyone’s ability and everyone’s power to be an effective leader – in business and beyond. Through three principles – mindset, method and mastery – you’ll discover how to first lead yourself, then others. And you’ll benefit from the wisdom of the luminaries Holly has interviewed, from Susan Cain and Condoleezza Rice to Barack Obama and Malcolm Gladwell. This is the path to the leading edge – and becoming the leader the world needs you to be.

Download or read book A Study of the Asymmetric Transonic Flow Past a Sharp Leading Edge written by Howard A. Stine and published by . This book was released on 1960 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary: An experimental and theoretical study has been made of the two-dimensional transonic flow past a 12° wedge airfoil with lower surface inclined 13° to the air stream. The experimental portion of the study consists of surveys of the flow field about the leading edge in a closed throat tunnel near choking Mach number by means of an X-ray densitometer. From these surveys various features have been determined; namely, the location of the stagnation point, the location of the sonic line, the size of the separation bubble on the upper surface, and the value of the Mach number at the bubble edge. These features were relatively insensitive to changes in Reynolds number in the range from 1X106 to 3X106 based on chord. The theoretical portion of the study consists of the calculation by relaxation methods of an unbounded, inviscid, two-dimensional flow about a portion of the same body at a free-stream Mach number of exactly unity. The calculations yield a separation bubble on the upper surface which has a shape shown to be compatible with known theoretical conditions for viscous attachment to the upper surface of the body. Agreement between theoretically calculated and the experimentally determined features of the flow was good in regions where the local Mach number was 2 or less. In regions of higher local Mach number the agreement was fair. The theoretically determined Mach number on the bubble edge was 2.80 whereas the experimentally determined value was 2.30. The theoretically determined length of the separation bubble was 1.54-percent chord whereas the experimentally determined length was about 5-percent chord. The theoretically determined location of the stagnation point was 0.16-percent chord from the leading edge whereas the experimentally determined location was at 0.56-percent chord. The experience gained in studying the flow suggests the possibility that the solution obtained is not unique and that another solution in better agreement with experiment might exist.
