James Kouzes – The Leadership Challenge

In the 1980s and again in the ’90s, James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner published The Leadership Challenge to address issues they uncovered in research on ordinary people achieving „individual leadership standards of excellence.” The keys they identified–model the way, inspire a shared vision, challenge the process, enable others to act, encourage the heart–have now been reexamined in the context of the post-millennium world and updated in a third edition. „What we have discovered, and rediscovered, is that leadership is not the private reserve of a few charismatic men and women,” write Kouzes, chairman emeritus of the Tom Peters Company, and Posner, dean of the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University. „People make extraordinary things happen by liberating the leader within everyone.” After explaining their concept and methodology, the authors detail the five essentials noted above in a pair of chapters apiece that bring clarity to their theories with case studies and recommended actions. The specificity of each (motivating through „the meaningfulness of the challenge, not the material rewards of success,” for example, and being able to „accept the mistakes that result from experimentation”) is enhanced by advice on sustaining the commitment and making leadership skills accessible to...

Diane Tracy – 10 Steps to Empowerment

In order to get power you have to give it away–one of the great yet seldom reconized paradoxes of the business world. As Diane Tracy demonstrates in her new book, when managers empower their employees, they gain real power for themselves. Through her Ten Principles for Empowering People, she shows: Why a clear definition of responsibility is the foundation of power How knowledge and information are critical to a person’s power How people are empowered when they receive honest feedback on a consistent basis The paradoxical effect of giving workers permission to fail–and thereby sufficienct latitude to succeed Why respect for the individuals is the key to releasing one’s personal power Particularly in turbulent times, empowerment is the key to maximizing productivity, maintaining employee morale, and meeting the long-term objectives of the company.

Ana Barca – The Wooden Architecture of Maramures

Wood is an essential element of traditional architecture throughout Romania, where extensive and rich forest have permitted the development of construction in solid timber. Wooden architecture in Romania cannot be confused with that of other parts of Europe. It is characterised by the union of a few simple volumes and by techniques which bring out the qualities of the material. Complex harmonies emerge from the relationship between the whole structure and the details. The sculptural and pictorial qualities of the forms and ornaments are enriched by the interplay of light and shade. All the elements are combined with purpose and forethought in a sober architecture, in keeping with its natural...
