Time Mastery: How Temporal Intelligence Will Make You a Stronger, More Effective Leader

"To be most effective, leaders must move beyond time management to time mastery. Time managers are reliant on clocks and calendars; time masters develop an intuitive sense of timing. Time managers see time as a fixed, rigid constant; time masters view it as relative and malleable. Time masters have what John Clemens and Scott Dalrymple call the critical skill of ""temporal intelligence."" Based on more than four years of research, Time Mastery includes dozens of examples of leaders whose temporal intelligence has helped them achieve business breakthroughs at organizations such as GE, 3M, Staples, and Dell. Readers will learn to develop six time-mastery behaviors, including how to: treat time as a continuous ""flow"" of peak experience * set the rhythm of their organization * look beyond the moment and encourage long-term, strategic thinking * and use time as an energizing principle that drives improvement. With intriguing examples from sports, science, history, and the performing arts, as well as business, Time Mastery takes a fascinating, in-depth look at a surprising new leadership skill."

Contingency seamanship: Coping with the unexpected in harbor and at sea (Yachting books)

Ziff-Davis Books

ForewordBoating is a family sport, to be shared, and savored by all. But the sea can be a strict disciplinarian, particularly to the unprepared, and your enjoyment will be in direct relationship to the crew's ability to meet the challenges.Competency in all aspects of seagoing life is not usually attainable by a single person - in fact, the most effective crews, and the happiest families, are those in which the acquired skills complement each other. Adam Smith's theory of the division of labor, while sometimes considered old-fashioned by shore bound advocates, has a long and successful tradition at sea. This is not to discourage any family member from developing skills in every facet of the art - quite the contrary the learning process is one of the best pars of the sport-- but rather to suggest that each concentrate first on the things he or she does best. There can only be one captain and one mate, and the tasks are equally important, even though the role of the mate often plays second lead in accounts which tend to glorify the skippers' position of authority. This book will reveal the many skills demanded of the mate and help you attain them, thereby contributing in a major way to your families' and friends' enjoyment afloat. I say, "Hats off to the Mate!" I hope you develop into one as good as the author who condescends to sail with me. Stafford Campbell
