Synopsis The Gift of Culture by : Will Scott
Leaders make profound contributions to the world by creating environments where people thrive so they can be the best that they can be. This can only happen in businesses with a culture of excellence. Over time, the ripple effect of culture-conscious leadership extends beyond the walls of the workplace culture and into the lives, families, and communities of all the employees, customers, and vendors. Despite the measurable returns on culture, however, many leaders don't necessarily know how to create a great culture. Until now. Culture is our business. Following the success of The Culture FixTM, Will Scott offers this fabled version that works through the step-by-step process of Culture FulfillmentTM. In this story, Andy, our business coach and Actuator, goes into troubled Everco and transforms the company's organizational performance, fortunes, and employee happiness. In just months, through a complete renovation, Everco's culture is brought alive, made to thrive, and used to drive performanceTM.

Synopsis The Captive and the Gift by : Bruce Grant
The Caucasus region of Eurasia, wedged in between the Black and Caspian Seas, encompasses the modern territories of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, as well as the troubled republic of Chechnya in southern Russia. A site of invasion, conquest, and resistance since the onset of historical record, it has earned a reputation for fearsome violence and isolated mountain redoubts closed to outsiders. Over extended efforts to control the Caucasus area, Russians have long mythologized stories of their countrymen taken captive by bands of mountain brigands.In The Captive and the Gift, the anthropologist Bruce Grant explores the long relationship between Russia and the Caucasus and the means by which sovereignty has been exercised in this contested area. Taking his lead from Aleksandr Pushkin's 1822 poem "Prisoner of the Caucasus," Grant explores the extraordinary resonances of the themes of violence, captivity, and empire in the Caucasus through mythology, poetry, short stories, ballet, opera, and film. Grant argues that while the recurring Russian captivity narrative reflected a wide range of political positions, it most often and compellingly suggested a vision of Caucasus peoples as thankless, lawless subjects of empire who were unwilling to acknowledge and accept the gifts of civilization and protection extended by Russian leaders.Drawing on years of field and archival research, Grant moves beyond myth and mass culture to suggest how real-life Caucasus practices of exchange, by contrast, aimed to control and diminish rather than unleash and increase violence. The result is a historical anthropology of sovereign forms that underscores how enduring popular narratives and close readings of ritual practices can shed light on the management of pluralism in long-fraught world areas.

Synopsis The Interpretation of Cultures by : Clifford Geertz
One of the twentieth century's most influential books, this classic work of anthropology offers a groundbreaking exploration of what culture is With The Interpretation of Cultures, the distinguished anthropologist Clifford Geertz developed the concept of thick description, and in so doing, he virtually rewrote the rules of his field. Culture, Geertz argues, does not drive human behavior. Rather, it is a web of symbols that can help us better understand what that behavior means. A thick description explains not only the behavior, but the context in which it occurs, and to describe something thickly, Geertz argues, is the fundamental role of the anthropologist. Named one of the 100 most important books published since World War II by the Times Literary Supplement, The Interpretation of Cultures transformed how we think about others' cultures and our own. This definitive edition, with a foreword by Robert Darnton, remains an essential book for anthropologists, historians, and anyone else seeking to better understand human cultures.

Synopsis Playing God by : Andy Crouch
With Playing God, Andy Crouch opens the subject of power, elucidating its subtle activity in our relationships and institutions. He gives us much more than a warning against abuse, though. Turning the notion of "playing God" on its head, Crouch celebrates power as the gift by which we join in God's creative, redeeming work in the world.

Synopsis Gift Mindset by : Renee Giarrusso
In this fascinating book, author and leadership coach, Renée Giarrusso teaches us how to view challenging situations and people as 'gifts'; each is valuable for the lessons it teaches us. With the right mindset we can learn to embrace them and apply the lessons they present in our personal and professional lives. Most of us experience challenges, crises, sadness and triumphs and success at some point over the years. Life throws us curve-balls. Some are made of glass and hard to catch, some bounce off us and others seem to fall straight into our hands. The author calls these 'gifts'. How we catch (or drop) these gifts depends on our mindset, perspective, beliefs, experiences, values and so many other things. In this thought-provoking book, Renée teaches us how to adopt the Gift Mindset to learn from these life experiences and appreciate them as gifts.
