Systems Engineering & Management

A generic approach to the design and control of socio-technical systems

&lt;p&gt;System thinking.- Overview of generic process models.- System design.- Phase transitions.- System control.&lt;/p&gt;


This book draws on the author's experiences during her 5-year journey towards tenure at a top-tier university in Singapore to offer an internationally relevant, STEM-oriented perspective with reflections, insights, and practical tips for building an academic career in STEM fields.Often, little is really known about what it means to be a university professor until one is actually in the role and much learning is done 'on the job'. This book collates and updates blog posts that the author has written throughout her career to explain the multiple roles of an assistant professor at a top research university. It chronicles the day-to-day challenges, pressures, and rewards of academic life. It is organized thematically and covers topics such as what an assistant professor actually does, how to foster an innovative research group, how to achieve target research outcomes and stand out from the crowd, how to create and manage a diverse research group, and how to achieve a sustainable work-life balance. It provides both practical advice and personal reflection, enabling readers to better understand the job requirements and prepare for success within this challenging and competitive environment.This work provides a vital insider's perspective to early-career academics, including postdoctoral researchers and assistant professors, as well as graduate students aspiring to academic careers. It also contains valuable information for university administrators, educational policymakers, and anyone responsible for career development programs and academic mentoring initiatives in universities.

Rethinking Leadership Development

A modern-day hero who works in the shadows and is not afraid to get his hands a little dirty, a little grease under his nails.

He does not fight crime, per se, like other superheroes, who are driven by personal tragedy to protect the innocent. Instead, he is driven by the need to improve his colleagues' circumstances.

Sully battles dysfunction and legacy processes with a sixth sense when he joins Dominion, a mammoth global telecommunications empire, where he faces subjective processes to take down multiple impediments to help his team.

Join Sully, originally from Boston, on this journey as he uses his years of experience coupled with multiple past and present mentors' lessons to work with a large team of 15 engineers, the worst in the division.

Sully inspires his coworkers to help him create an environment they want to come to every day and develop valuable product outcomes in flow, culminating in a team that emerges as a self-improving, high-performance unit, thanks to the Adaptability Scorecard(TM).

In only a few years' time, the team becomes 30% more Productive, and one that achieves 80% Predictability in producing valuable customer outcomes for 18 months straight! They become the best team in the division, possibly of all time at Dominion!

About this book:
The Process Mechanic(TM), A Self-improving Team Story is a management and leadership novel based on real events, with fictional characters.

Adaptability Scorecard(TM)

The inventor behind the Leatherman multi-tool and founder of the beloved company presents his inspiring personal story as a practical how-to guide for entrepreneurs, artists, and creatives of all kinds who want to pursue their own big ideas. On a budget trip to Europe in 1975, Tim Leatherman started making a list of ideas for what to do with the rest of his life. After months of fixing the plumbing in cheap hotels and toiling on his temperamental Fiat, Tim added to his list of ideas: “add pliers to pocket knife.” Little did he know he would spend the following four decades building an iconic American company that would go on to manufacture more than 90 million multi-tools in its Portland, Oregon, factory. His latest multi-tool is a book. In The Leatherman Book, Tim uses the pieces of his story as tools to help dreamers, entrepreneurs and creatives of all kinds build their own big ideas. Each chapter shares valuable insight into how Tim built his invention and his company—and the lessons he’s learned doing it—including: • You don’t have to be “qualified” to pursue your big idea • If you’re serious about your principles, they become your competitive advantage • Your most important tool is a willingness to figure things out as you go along Weaving storytelling, advice, and never-before-seen photos, this is a visionary and intimate look at a true American icon, meant to inspire and enable dreamers to bring their ideas to life.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Adam Grant illuminates the surprising science behind strong connections A vibe—a special connection between people that creates a spark—is an engine of happiness and success. Yet building meaningful ties is one of the most pressing problems of our time. As social media forces face-to-face interaction behind digital screens, communication gets outsourced to AI, and the world becomes more polarized than ever, our loneliness crisis shows no signs of slowing. To reveal how we can forge faster, stronger, and longer bonds, Grant offers groundbreaking studies, expert insights, and myth-busting stories. Filled with the eye-opening takeaways that have brought millions of readers to his books, Vibe teaches us that similarity is not necessary for solidarity, chemistry doesn’t always happen quickly, and closeness doesn’t always take time. Along the way, Grant introduces us to a crew of astronauts who learned to trust people they don’t like, a comedy troupe that swears by taking time apart as a key to staying together, a band that grew closer by learning to fight more, and a journalist who designed a gathering that led to seventy-eight marriages. He also opens up about his personal struggles to find his place as a shy introvert and the lessons that propelled his transformation into an enthusiastic convener. Through these examples and more, Grant uncovers the keys to creating deeper relationships and tighter communities. Vibe will change how you approach your interactions. No matter how good you are at connecting, you can always get better—and help others get better too.
