Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Property will cost us the earth The science on climate change has been clear for a very long time now. Yet despite decades of appeals, mass street protests, petition campaigns, and peaceful demonstrations, we are still facing a booming fossil fuel industry, rising seas, rising emission levels, and a rising temperature. With the stakes so high, why haven't we moved beyond peaceful protest? In this lyrical manifesto, noted climate scholar (and saboteur of SUV tires and coal mines) Andreas Malm makes an impassioned call for the climate movement to escalate its tactics in the face of ecological collapse. We need, he argues, to force fossil fuel extraction to stop--with our actions, with our bodies, and by defusing and destroying its tools. We need, in short, to start blowing up some oil pipelines. Offering a counter-history of how mass popular change has occurred, from the democratic revolutions overthrowing dictators to the movement against apartheid and for women's suffrage, Malm argues that the strategic acceptance of property destruction and violence has been the only route for revolutionary change. In a braided narrative that moves from the forests of Germany and the streets of London to the deserts of Iraq, Malm offers us an incisive discussion of the politics and ethics of pacifism and violence, democracy and social change, strategy and tactics, and a movement compelled by both the heart and the mind. Here is how we fight in a world on fire.

Download or read book Leaders Deserve Better written by Jennifer Mackin and published by Forbesbooks. This book was released on 2020-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LET'S GET REAL: The vast majority of leadership development programs don't work. Not only do they feel irrelevant--failing to address the issues that keep leaders up at night--even when they are on point, without built-in opportunities for leaders to practice what they've learned, those lessons don't stick. To cultivate better leaders--ones who can serve as the next generation of senior management, bring business to new heights, and stay with the organization long enough to create lasting change-- we need a better solution. Leaders Deserve Better is that solution. Relying on her experience working with leaders, Jennifer Mackin begins by laying out the problem with standard development practices using real-life examples that illustrate the impact of inadequate development. She gives readers a glimpse of the myriad benefits of a better--and entirely revolutionized--approach, offering tools for leaders to conduct their own assessments to discover the gaps in their programming. Armed with these insights, senior leaders can ignite their own leadership development revolutions that support the effective development that all leaders deserve.
