Following the publication of Leadership in Asia: Challenges and Opportunities, the Singapore Ministry of Manpower convened a Third Executive Roundtable in 2010 to examine the various challenges confronting leadership renewal in the Asian business context, especially in the aftermath of the global financial meltdown and economic downturn of 2009. The intensive session, spread over two days, threw up illuminating examples and astute observations on the subject, which were peppered with thoughtful anecdotes and penetrating truths that will titillate the reader. 
Involving corporate CEOs, Chief Human Resource Officers and leadership thought leaders, the leadership focus group identified four important questions that Asian leaders must address in order to succeed at the highest level: 
<ul>
<li> Where are we going?</li> <li> How do we get there?</li> <li> What is work like when we get there?</li> <li> Who stays and who goes?</li>
</ul>
With these on their minds, they set about to pinpoint eight success factors and action domains that are crucial in leaders to enable them to navigate around the pitfalls of being a leader and a change agent in the organisations they lead. These are: 
<ol>
<li> Creating customer-centric actions</li> <li> Implementing strategy</li> <li> Getting past the past</li> <li> Governing through decision making</li> <li> Inspiring collective meaning making</li> <li> Capitalising on capability</li> <li> Developing careers</li> <li> Generating leaders</li>
</ol>
Edited by eminent leadership gurus Dave Ulrich and Robert Sutton, this book describes the valuable insights and lessons gleaned from individual leaders and the organisations they lead. A useful reference for potential leaders, corporate honchos and management experts on leadership issues in organisations within Asia, it represents a significant contribution to research on the subject in the continent, which is home to a multitude of diverse cultures, languages and beliefs, as well as the unique challenges these pose to leaders in leading their organisations.

In the design of man-machine systems it is essential that the human operator be represented by a suitable model for communication purposes. A model can treat the human operator as a simple linear control element, take a nonlinear approach, or estimate the human operator transfer function and associated remnant to see if these lie within acceptable bounds. Covers all these approaches as well as introduces fuzzy logic as a new and promising modeling mechanism. With interest in both restructurable and reconfigurable controls, particularly with aerospace and marine applications on the rise, and the need for system designers to employ these complex technologies more often, it provides a means for engineers to optimize the overall performance of man-machine control systems.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The No Asshole Rule
'I am frequently asked, "Tom, my brother/sister/friend is taking on a new leadership role. What should they read?" I always respond the same way, by recommending one and only one book: Bob Sutton's Good Boss, Bad Boss' - Tom Peters, New York Times bestselling author of In Search of Excellence.
Good Boss, Bad Boss was inspired by the thousands of emails, calls and conversations that Robert Sutton received after publishing his bestseller The No Asshole Rule - he found that most of the stories and cries for help he received revolved around one central figure in every workplace: THE BOSS.
Sutton's subsequent research showed that the success of every boss depended heavily on how well (or badly) they managed those they worked with and in Good Boss, Bad Boss he demonstrates this by weaving together the best psychological and management secrets with true stories, to reveal the mindset and moves of the best bosses, and contrasts them with the behaviour of the worst.
If you want to understand how the best bosses think and act so that you can get better at your job or find a better boss to work for, Good Boss, Bad Boss has all the answers.
