Download or read book The Unseen Leader written by Martin Gutmann and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Unseen Leader delivers one simple but immensely powerful point: we need to radically rethink how we discuss leadership. In this book, American historian Martin Gutmann passionately challenges the received wisdom that history's great leaders were individuals with a proclivity for action and brash words. Drawing on extensive historical scholarship and contemporary leadership theory, Gutmann delves into the journeys of four unknown or misunderstood leaders who achieved remarkable successes in vastly different environments—the Polar North, the deserts of Arabia, the sugar plantations of the Caribbean, and Second World War London. What emerges is an entirely new narrative on leadership. Contrary to the perception of heroic protagonists forging ahead boldly, history's truly great leaders were often precisely those who didn't need to generate excessive noise or activity. Instead, they skillfully minimized dramatic circumstances. Their stories challenge our present-day conception of leadership and can inspire the leaders of tomorrow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harriet, Jack, and Toby are treasure hunters, searching the Minecraft world for its most valuable hidden secrets. In an abandoned mineshaft, they discovered a lost journal that once belonged to William, a legendary explorer who has gone missing. The first journal took them on a daring adventure to a secret temple deep in the desert. Now they have the second journal, and they’re more determined than ever to find the missing explorer. The treasure hunters build a portal and travel to the Nether. Even with the help of the second journal detailing survival strategies for the dangerous biome, the gang is in trouble when they realize two sinister treasure hunters, Valentino and Veronica, are trailing them. Will they make it out alive, or are they in over their heads this time? This is the second book in the new Lost Minecraft Journals series. The chapters of each book alternate between the journal entries (William’s story) and the story of the treasure hunters. Fans of Minecraft won’t want to miss this wild new adventure.

Download or read book The Explorer's Roadmap to National-Socialism written by Sarah Kristina Danielsson and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whilst terms such as Lebensraum are commonly associated with National-Socialist ideology of the 1930s and 40s, ideas of racial living space were in fact generated in the previous decades by an international geographic community of explorers and academics. Focusing on one of the most influential figures within this group, Sven Hedin, this is the first study that systematically connects the geographic community to the intellectual history of the development of National-Socialist ideology and genocidal practices.
