A Modern Mother's Guide to Pursuing Big Ambition While Raising Little Humans

Are digital technologies really a silver bullet for development in the Global South?


Digital technologies are supposed to solve the challenges of climate change, projected population growth, land conflicts and food insecurity, especially in rural areas. Yet NGOs, government institutions, and private companies are increasingly adopting a trial-and-error approach as they recognize the limitations of transferring Western science and technologies to the global South.
 
This book presents the ambivalent practices and implications of digital pilot projects which aim to 'develop' both farming communities and locally adapted innovations in East Africa. Inspired by laboratory ethnographies in Science and Technology Studies, it explores the practices of testing and developing digital technologies in rural Tanzania. The multi-sited ethnography, which takes in agricultural fairs, conferences, documents, online courses, tech hubs, project offices, villages and fields, centres on three case studies, namely DAST (a digital land-formalisation tool), STAS (an AI system for agricultural productivity) and iPlus (an e-extension tool). Rather than viewing these technologies simply as welcome tools to promote connectivity, empowerment and increased production - as commonly advanced in development policy - this book foregrounds the (un)intended consequences of the planning, set-up, maintenance and results of digital pilot projects. Against the backdrop of conflicting logics between testing technologies and developing Tanzanian agriculture through them, this book considers their (un)predictable impacts on new actors, the character of development and the trial communities in rural Tanzania.

The Transformative Power of Creating Community

Flourish

In 2007, as the first iPhone launched, I was a young retail leader on the front lines of what would become one of the most transformative technological revolutions in history. Customers waited for hours to secure their new device only to return days later furious that networks had failed under unprecedented demand. Inside stores, no answers were quick or easy. There was pressure, confusion, and a leadership playbook that no longer seemed to work. It was an inflection point not just for technology, but for leadership. The Hope Advantage begins in this moment and expands to confront the reality every leader now faces. No longer is change episodic; it is constant, exponential, and it impacts every area of life. The conditions once described as volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous are no longer exceptions to the rule; they are the operating environment. But the change itself is not the problem. We've lost the belief in our ability to shape what comes next. When you believe a better future is possible, that you have the power to help create it, and that you don't need a perfect plan to start, this is hope--a practical leadership framework built on the three interconnected disciplines of Direction, Ownership, and Movement. Blending behavioral science, leadership philosophy, and lived executive experience, The Hope Advantage introduces a distinct and timely thesis that belief, not strategy, is the primary hurdle to change. It offers leaders not just a new way to think, but a practical framework immediately applicable to the transformations they're already implementing.

Scale your business and gain the freedom you dreamed of as a founder. Chuck is exhausted. The company he founded has a superior product and was gaining traction. Now, sales are slipping, his executive team is falling apart, and he can't remember the last time he made it home for dinner. How long can this last? But then Chuck meets the right mentor. Harper owns a bar that doesn't seem special, but beneath the surface it is just one piece of a wealth-producing empire. Harp has cracked the code for scaling businesses without sacrificing everything else in life. More than a modest bartender, Harp is about to share the secret to his success. It all starts with Chuck asking a deceptively simple question: "How do customers happen?" Over a series of late-night conversations, Harp reveals a growth operating system that busts myths about strategic planning, holds people accountable for the business drivers that truly matter, and rallies executive teams around a common goal. Equal parts gripping fable and vital business playbook, the tools in The Million Dollar Napkin are real, tested, and proven. Entrepreneur, investor, founder, and CEO Ryan Deiss is an expert on scaling and customer value optimization. His system works for his companies, it works for Chuck, and it will work for you. In this book, you'll learn to make the following: <ul><li>value engines that show the process of how your company creates value</li><li>scorecards that show how well that process is working</li><li>quarterly sprint plans that show how to make that process better</li></ul> Together, these three components create a self-reinforcing loop called the Growth Flywheel. Your job as CEO isn't to work harder, it's to keep the flywheel spinning. Ryan Deiss's The Million Dollar Napkin shows you how with a fast-paced story and a step-by-step guide for building a business that grows predictably and scales sustainably, without burning yourself out.

Don't guess at the law--use Nolo's resources to get it right.

We are running our lives, teams, and organizations as though our resources are unlimited. They are not. Regenerative People names the cost of that assumption and offers a different way to work, lead, and live. Drawing on six decades of combined coaching and consulting experience, Janet M. Harvey and Silvia Tassarotti trace the shift from extraction to regeneration--from optimizing outcomes to evolving with them, from controlling uncertainty to partnering with it, and from isolating to protect what we have to interconnecting with what sustains us. Regenerative People moves through four expanding circles: the personal renewal that makes all of this possible, the leadership practices that build resilient teams, the organizational models that generate long-term value rather than short-term extraction, and the community-level shifts that make regeneration collective rather than individual. Each chapter pairs concepts with reflective questions and practices, inviting readers to slow down and apply what they're learning rather than simply collect more ideas. The authors write as guides, not lecturers, walking alongside readers the way Virgil walked beside Dante, offering models and questions in search of the reader's own answers. For coaches, executives, and anyone who senses that the old operating model is reaching its limits, this book offers both the diagnosis and the practice: a way to notice drift before it costs something irreplaceable and to deliberately choose a more enduring way to lead.
