The Confines of the Shadow is a sequence of novels and short stories that map the transformation of the Libyan city of Benghazi from a sleepy Ottoman backwater in the 1910s to the second capital of an oil-rich kingdom in the 1960s. Alessandro Spina's saga begins in November 1912 with The Young Maronite, which sees Italian soldiers solidifying their control over Libya's coasts, leaving the Libyan rebels to withdraw to the desert and prepare for a war that would last until 1931, when by dint of sheer brutality, including the internment of tens of thousands of civilians into concentration camps, the Italians crushed the rebellion and murdered its widely respected leader, Omar al-Mukhtar. Employing a cosmopolitan array of characters, ranging from Ottoman functionaries, to Sanussi aristocrats and Italian officers, Spina chronicles Italy's colonial experience from the euphoria of conquest - giving us a front row seat to the rise and subsequent fall of Fascism in the aftermath of World War II - to the country's independence in the 1950s. Spina finally concludes his narrative with the discovery of Libya's vast oil and gas reserves, which triggered the tumultuous changes that led to Muammar Gaddafi's forty-two-year dictatorship. Distinguishing themselves by their intimate understanding of East and West, the novels that comprise The Confines of the Shadow are among the most significant achievements of 20th-century fiction and stand unchallenged as the only multi-generational epic about the European experience in North Africa. This is the first instalment of a three-volume translation, and it includes The Young Maronite, The Marriage of Omar and The Nocturnal Visitor, which are set between 1912 and 1927.

Othman al-Sheikh is running away from the shadows of his past life in a small dusty village in the Libyan Desert. Tripoli, meanwhile, is a city in the process of transformation, moulded to the will of its Italian colonisers. Its decadent entertainments and extravagant riches conceal an underbelly of abject poverty and ruthless plotting. Othman falls for the city and its temptations. With a natural instinct for survival, he tries his luck in the capital, swept along by chance and opportunity.

Many inspired people miss the opportunities of being gifted the way they are because they don't have the will or the discipline to move the inspiration from their soul to their hands. If you are the kind of person that is full of inspiration, loads of ideas, and have plenty knocking around in your head, but none of that has materialized, then there is a good chance what you need is more discipline.?In most circles among adults, suggesting discipline is problematic because it feels like that word is reserved for kids. Yes, there is one kind of discipline that is reserved for kids. But the kind of discipline that you need to attain the kind of success you are thinking of is very different than the picture that emerges at the invocation of the word. The discipline you need is the kind that will allow you to take control over your thoughts and actions.?We may have all the other attributes that are required to be successful, but if we lack the discipline then all bets are off. That's usually where the problem is when you've gone through tons of books, tons of seminars, and you still can't translate inspiration into action.?This book will show you the reason discipline is elusive to many people and why the lack of success becomes the norm. You can't just turn on discipline in many cases, you need to understand yourself and understand the reason your greatness is stuck within you struggling to come out.?? Don't wait any longer!

Mi leszek, ha nagy vagyok?Németh Márton ezt a kérdést tette fel magának huszonhét évesen, amikor már b?ven túl volt a pályakezdésen, elindult a karriere, és minden úgy alakult, ahogy a nagy k?nyvben meg van írva. Mégsem volt elégedett, valami hiányzott. Egyik napról a másikra d?bbent rá, hogy mennyire nem azon az úton halad, amin szeretne: olyan alkalmazott, aki kevésért dolgozik sokat, mások jólétét gyarapítja, nem a saját érdekeit tartja szem el?tt.Vajon egyedül ? a felel?s azért, hogy így alakult? Feln?tt egyáltalán? Tud még változtatni? Az ?szinte válaszokért – még ha fájnak is – lelke legmélyére kellett leásnia, hogy megtalálja igazi ?nmagát.A szerz? a saját életén keresztül mutatja be a mai magyar pályakezdés nehézségeit, buktatóit, valamint az alkalmazotti státuszból, a karrierlétra aljáról való felt?rést. A fiatalok sok információt hallhatnak arról, hogyan kéne egyr?l a kett?re jutni, azonban azt senki nem mondta el nekik, hogyan is lépjenek nulláról az egyre. Eddig.

Victor Niederhoffer ve Laurel Kenner'in Pratik Spekülasyon (Practical Speculation) adl? kitab?nda, bal??a ??kma zaman? konusunda ?aka ile kar???k baz? ger?ek?i de?erlendirmeler yap?lm??. Bunlar, yorumlar?mla a?a??da: a) Bal?klar?n yemlenmesi s?ras?nda mutlaka g?lde olun. ?rne?in, para arz? bir nedenle art?yorsa, bundan do?rudan etkilenecek hisse senedi gibi enstrümanlara yat?r?m yap?n. Yabanc?lar girmeye ba?lam??larsa, siz de borsada al?m yapmaya ba?lay?n. b) G?lde gere?inden fazla bal?k?? varsa, siz bal??a ??kmay?n. Bu, kalabal?k bir bi?imde sizin b?lgenizdeki bal?klar? da ürkütecektir. Herkes ayn? hisse senedine veya yat?r?m alan?na yat?r?m yapmaya ba?lam??sa o yat?r?mda iyi k?r kalmam?? demektir. c) Ava iyi haz?rlan?n. Kullanaca??n?z malzemeler iyi haz?rlanm?? ve yeterli olsun. Bal?k tutma i?i, biraz da sab?r i?idir. Bazen k?r, zaman i?inde elde edilir. Ne zaman, hangi enstrümana ve nas?l yat?r?m yapaca??n?z? ?nceden haz?rlay?n. Hislerinize kulak verin. d) Sessiz olun. Gürültü, bal?klar? ka??r?r. Fikirlerinizi ve piyasada mevcut f?rsat olas?l??? konusundaki bilginizi, ba?kalar?yla payla?may?n. e) Bal?k olmad??? bilinen b?lgede avlanmaya kalkmay?n. G?lün altyap?s?n? ve avlayaca??n?z bal???n davran?? bi?imlerini iyi ??renin. Elektronik olarak bal?klar?n yerini g?steren aletler iyidir, ama onlar?n oltalar? yoktur. Hi? kimsenin al?m yapmad??? yerde, sizin al?ma ba?laman?z zamans?z olabilir. ?te yandan, hisselerin veya di?er yat?r?m ara?lar?n?n yükselece?i veya dü?ece?i y?nünde yap?lan matematiksel tahminler, birer bilgidir, ama bal?k yakalama, bilginin, ?ans?n ve hissetmenin bir kar???m?d?r. f) Bütün haz?rl?klar?n?z tamam olsa bile bazen bal?k, zokay? yutmaz. Cesaretinizi k?rmay?n. ?yi zaman ge?irdi?inizi dü?ünün. Bu i?i en iyi bilenlerin bile, istatistiksel olarak sadece % 60 ba?ar?l? olduklar? ger?e?ini unutmay?n. g) Bazen, bal?k tutmak de?il, bal?klar? beslemek zorunda kalabilirsiniz. G?lün avlanmaya haz?r olmas? i?in bu gerekli olabilir. Fiyatlar yükselmeye ba?lay?nca siz de trende uyun. Yükselme trendine giren piyasa, iyi al?m zaman? demektir. h) Bazen büyük bal?klar, oltan?zdaki yemi ?alarlar. Bu durumda oltan?za yeni yem tak?p bal?k vurmas?n? ?ok dikkatle takip edin. Büyük oyunculara ?abuk teslim olmay?n. Büyükler, piyasaya bir ara hakim olsalar da piyasadan ?ekilecekleri bir zaman vard?r. O zaman? kollay?n. i) Karaya ne zaman d?nece?inizi iyi hesaplay?n.

Prima carte din Rom?nia despre p?strarea clien?ilor Aceasta nu este o biblie ?n domeniu, dar este un must read pentru oricine vrea s? p?streze un client. ?Cred ?n Customer Retention. Cred ?n Lovemarks. Cred ?n Customer Experience ca form? evoluat? a loialit??ii. Cred ?n cei mai buni. Cred ?n exper?i, ?n cei care nu se vor mul?umi cu a fi exper?i din titulatur?, ci din convingeri ?i idei proprii.” Acesta este manifestul cu care ??i ?ncepe Mihai Dragnea pledoaria pentru autenticitate, responsabilitate ?i creativitate ?n rela?ia cu clien?ii. ?n goana dup? market share ?i profit se investesc foarte multe resurse ?n atragerea clien?ilor noi, iar rela?ia cu clien?ii existen?i este adeseori neglijat?. Foarte important: Customer Retention nu se refer? la loializarea clien?ilor, ci la p?strarea celor care inten?ioneaz? s? renun?e. Customer Loyalty este pentru cei pe care vrei s? ?i r?spl?te?ti c? ??i sunt clien?i. Este vorba despre dou? segmente diferite c?rora trebuie s? le corespund? abord?ri de business distincte. Clien?ii ??i exprim? opiniile oriunde, online mai ales, ?i au o mare putere de decizie, inclusiv pe aceea de a schimba valorile ?i credin?ele unei companii. A-i trata nediferen?iat pe cei care vor s? renun?e la produsele ?i serviciile tale ?i pe cei care ??i sunt fideli este ca ?i cum ai trage cu tunul la un concurs de tir cu arcul. ?A? recomanda aceast? carte ca lectur? obligatorie pentru toate persoanele dintr-o companie, de la front office p?n? la management. ?n orice moment ?i la orice palier ierarhic, pot fi luate decizii care s? ajute compania s? ??i p?streze clien?ii mul?umi?i ?i aceast? mul?umire s? fie tradus? ?n fidelitate.

In this book, Dejan Kosutic, author and experienced ISO consultant, is giving away his practical know-how on managing policies, procedures, plans, forms, reports, and other documented information. No matter if you are new or experienced in the field, this book gives you everything you will ever need to learn on how to handle ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 20000, ISO 22000, OHSAS 18001, ISO 13485, AS9100, and IATF 16949 documents. Many ISO practitioners are often disappointed with the quantity and complexity of the documentation. You can frequently hear: “We don’t need these documents – we’re doing just fine without them; this would only be overkill.” “This standard is all about documentation – we simply need to fill out all the documents, and we’ll automatically get the certificate.” “We need to write policies and procedures for each and every process, activity, and control in our company – the more documents, the clearer the rules will be, and it will be easier for us to comply.” This book is here to prove these statements wrong. As Kosutic says: “The main point of the implementation of any standard is that the employees perform their activities and processes in a better way, and the documentation is here to help you do that, because otherwise, their processes and activities would become unmanageable.” Managing ISO Documentation: A Plain English Guide is a step-by-step guide that will explain the sequence of writing the documentation and its relationship with the PDCA cycle, how to decide on your documentation strategy, how to decide which policies and procedures to write, and what might be the most crucial part – how to write documentation that will be accepted by your employees. Written in easy-to-understand language, whether you’re an experienced practitioner or new to the field, Managing ISO Documentation: A Plain English Guide is the only book you’ll ever need on the subject.

“Before you decide if your company should go for the certification, you have to ask yourself one important question: Do you really need it?” This book is a complete guide that will not only help you decide on this crucial concern, but also lead you from the beginning of the certification project to the end. This book is not focused solely on one ISO standard – the certification process is the same for any standard, so the book is adapted in such a way that it is perfectly acceptable for ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, ISO 20000, ISO 22000, OHSAS 18001, ISO 13485, and IATF 16949. Kosutic wrote Preparing for ISO Certification Audit: A Plain English Guide primarily for beginners in this field, and for people with moderate knowledge about ISO certification. The book is structured in such a way that someone with no prior experience or knowledge about ISO standards can quickly understand how the whole certification process works, and what steps to take for its successful completion. This book is a straightforward guide for ensuring your company passes the certification audit, leading you through the following steps: The final check before going for the certification – this part of the book explains in detail all the necessary steps that need to be done before going for the certification. How to choose a certification body – here you will learn about the most important criteria for choosing the certification body. Among others, you should consider the reputation, specialization, and experience of a certification body. Steps in the company certification and how to prepare – in this part of the book you will learn more about the Stage 1 audit, Stage 2 audit, and surveillance visits – the three main steps in the certification process. Which questions the certification auditor may ask – this section of the book will give you insight into how the certification auditors usually perform the certification audit, explaining what documentation you should prepare, what evidence the auditor will try to find, and what kind of questions you can expect during the certification interview. How to talk to the auditors to benefit from the audit – “Don't forget that auditors are only people, and no matter how professional they are, they will always be glad if you treat them fairly, and will be negative if you treat them badly.” What the auditor can and cannot do – this section is also very important in order to prepare your company for the certification audit. You have to be aware that there are borders that a certification auditor shouldn’t cross. Written in plain English with easy-to-understand language, this is the only book you will ever need on the subject.?

In Everything Is Possible, Dan Abraham, the legendary founder of Slim-Fast, recounts the story of his personal and business life, starting from his childhood and army years and his purchase of Thompson Medical for $5,000 when he was in his early twenties, and culminating in the sale of Slim-Fast for $2.3 billion in 2000. At the heart of Everything Is Possible are 16 life lessons that Abraham has picked up in sixty years of a hard-working business career. Among them: ?There is no such thing as a mistake (see pages 198–202) ?Why I always insured that my suppliers made a profit (see pages 208–9) ?The philosophy of continuous improvement (see pages 202–5) ?If you have a theory and the facts dispute it, drop your theory (pages 205–8) ?The realization that we all have both good and bad luck in our lives, but many of us don't prepare for either (pages 216–9) ?I never saw a man pick a fight with a stronger man (pages 191–5) But this memoir, a brilliant guide for anyone starting and growing a business, is about far more than business. Abraham tells the heartwarming story of growing up in a modest home in Long Beach, New York, and the lessons he learned from his mother, father, and one high school teacher that have guided him ever since. And there is more, much more: a discussion of his beliefs about the pleasure of giving; what he has learned from Judaism about ethics and the Golden Rule; and what he learned from his experiences with the FDA about the importance of compromise and about the necessity to fight hard when you believe you're right. At a time, when newspapers are filled with reports of business fraud and deceptions, and when so many people believe that to have spectacular success in business you have to be ruthless and dishonest, this is an account of a business life that has been lived honorably, passionately, and successfully, and with fun. Everything Is Possible is a book to be savored and shared with young and old alike.

Inspired by the Simple Sabotage Field Manual released by the Office of Strategic Services in 1944 to train European resistors, this is the essential handbook to help stamp out unintentional sabotage in any working group, from major corporations to volunteer PTA committees. In 1944, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS)—the predecessor of today’s CIA—issued the Simple Sabotage Field Manual that detailed sabotage techniques designed to demoralize the enemy. One section focused on eight incredibly subtle—and devastatingly destructive—tactics for sabotaging the decision-making processes of organizations. While the manual was written decades ago, these sabotage tactics thrive undetected in organizations today: Insist on doing everything through channels. Make speeches. Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Refer all matters to committees. Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible. Haggle over precise wordings of communications. Refer back to matters already decided upon and attempt to question the advisability of that decision. Advocate caution and urge fellow-conferees to avoid haste that might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on. Be worried about the propriety of any decision. Everyone has been faced with someone who has used these tactics, even when they have meant well. Filled with proven strategies and techniques, this brief, clever book outlines the counter-sabotage measures to detect and reduce the impact of these eight classic sabotage tactics to improve productivity, spur creativity, and engender better collegial relationships.

And once you learn how to flex it, you'll be able to meet life's challenges and reach your goals.Based on a legendary course Roth has taught at Stanford University for several decades, The Achievement Habit employs the remarkable insights that stem from design thinking to help us realize the power we all have within to change our lives for the better.

In this illuminating study of corporate America's most critical issue leadership world-renowned leadership guru Warren Bennis and his co-author Burt Nanus reveal the four key principles every manager should know: Attention Through Vision, Meaning Through Communication, Trust Through Positioning, and The Deployment of Self.
