Smith H: The New Receptionist: An
Essential Guide to the Professional Wor

The New Receptionist: An Essential Guide to the Professional Workplace

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.

What it takes to sustain leadership successAt some point in every senior leader's career, the skills that built success stop being enough to sustain it. The work accumulates, the stakes rise, and the gap between performing well and breaking down narrows. Most leadership books train skills at the surface. Conditioned is about what sits underneath them.An athlete trains, competes, and recovers on a schedule with an off-season built in. Leadership has no off-season, and almost no one is conditioned for that. Allen Weaver brings more than twenty years in sport psychology, executive coaching, and Fortune 100 human resources to a consistent observation: the leaders who last are not the ones with the most refined skills, but the ones who built the conditioning that supports them.Conditioned maps that conditioning through the Peak System. Two anchors, Mental Performance (how leaders show up) and Wellness (how they sustain the ability to keep showing up), are expressed across ten dimensions of leadership readiness, each read on a simple three-state scale: Peak, Plateau, and Valley. The book closes with three disciplines for the long climb of a leadership career: Mastery, Future-Proofing, and Legacy.The stories come from boardrooms, locker rooms, and coaching environments: Mary Barra steadied General Motors in crisis, Lisa Su rebuilt AMD, and Rory McIlroy and LeBron James extended their peaks past the age when peaks are supposed to end. Weaver's own path runs from a marathon medical tent to the coaching practice it inspired. Conditioned is written for senior and mid-career leaders who have achieved success and now intend to sustain it.Peak is what can be reached. Plateau is where reliable performance lives. Valley is where the learning happens. The climb begins with conditioning.

Build Teams That Work Together, Get Results, and Stick Around

Manufacturing Greatness

Sooner or later, most successful people hit a wall. The energy that fueled your success starts to wear thin. The achievements that once felt meaningful no longer do. The path forward feels unclear. Meanwhile, the world around you is moving faster than ever. Something is changing--in you, around you, or both--and the strategies that once worked no longer produce the same results. In Unstuck, change leadership expert Vered Kogan and world-renowned executive coach Marshall Goldsmith explore why so many smart, capable people feel stuck and what it takes to break through. Drawing on decades of coaching high performers, they reveal that stuckness is not failure. More often, it points to your next level of growth. Blending behavioral science, leadership insight, practical tools, and deeply human stories, Unstuck helps readers recognize the hidden patterns driving stress, burnout, overthinking, perfectionism, and procrastination. You'll learn how to work with resistance instead of against it, regulate pressure before it hijacks your thinking, and create the internal conditions where real change can take hold. But this is about more than individual growth. It's also about helping teams and organizations break free from patterns that keep them trapped in outdated mindsets and ways of working. In an era of accelerating change, mounting complexity, and rising uncertainty, the leaders who thrive are those who can authentically influence others to grow and adapt under pressure. Unstuck offers a new playbook for navigating and leading change from the inside out, helping you build one of today's most valuable advantages: the ability to get unstuck and help others do the same.

Unstuck: Break Through What's Holding You Back and Create Results That Stick

In 1977, The Economist coined the term "Dutch disease" to describe the damage to the real economy when wealth derives from resource exports rather than productive work. On April 1, 1978, the Second Amendment to the IMF's Articles of Agreement came into force, ending gold's monetary role within the IMF system and consolidating the transition to pure fiat money. With "money" no longer backed by anything real, the alchemists' dream of a "Philosopher's Stone"--the ability to create seemingly limitless wealth out of nothing--appeared to have been realized. But while real wealth produced by human labor is finite, fiat money creation is not subject to the same physical constraint. The result was a new and far more powerful variant of Dutch disease: the Philosopher's Stone Disease. The Money Powers' financialization of economies and imposition of neoliberalism increasingly privileged finance over production. Over the next four decades, the consequences extended beyond economics, eroding the cultural and civilizational heritage and traditions of large swaths of the global population. The socioeconomic impact of this pure fiat-money regime, globally and within the United States, has been an across-the-board deterioration, while its benefits accrued overwhelmingly to less than 0.01 percent of the population. Yet creating money cannot create the real goods it commands. The system therefore depends upon a steady external supply of real goods and the recycling of part of the resulting surpluses into U.S. financial assets. Energy revenues from West Asia have been key to sustaining it. A resurgent Iran thus posed an existential threat to the UK-established and U.S.-dominated oil order. Sanctions, assassinations, proxy wars, color revolutions, terrorist attacks and mass psychological manipulation followed, but failed to achieve their objective. If Iran emerges victorious from the war launched against it in 2026 and breaks U.S. control over the oil-rich Levant, the petrodollar recycling system will suffer a massive blow, accelerating withdrawal from U.S. Treasuries. The dilemma is stark: financial dominance ultimately requires real power to enforce it, while the Philosopher's Stone Disease has hollowed out the productive and military foundations of that power. Why the West Can't Recover: The Philosopher's Stone Disease explains why there may be no way back.

Private equity buccaneers have generated untold wealth by plundering the worlds of commerce, defence and sport. In the process they have also destroyed jobs, hurt consumers, neglected environmental concerns and undermined public trust in share markets. In this book, Alex Brummer, City Editor at the Daily Mail, lifts the lid on the dangers of private equity Financially driven private ownership has contributed to waterways being clogged with sewage; high parking charges; malfunctioning baggage handling at airports; the collapse and impairment of some of our best-loved retail stores and the alienation of sports fans from much-loved franchises. Private equity finance is an industry which thrives on leverage (debt), is untrammelled by regulations, poses a danger to economic stability and often works against the national interest. Starting out in the US, the private equity industry rapidly spread to Britain, where many of the big players have set up their European and global headquarters. In this wide-ranging book, Alex Brummer takes in a broad focus on the dangers of private equity to the global economic order, examining in detail the danger of grotesque levels of debt, and the neglect of the public interest in what private equity firms do.

Across clinics, classrooms, city halls, and financial systems, women continue doing the uncredited work of governing AI: deciding when systems can be trusted, paused, refused, and repaired. Governing the Default names this work as relational governance, demonstrating how leaders can turn critique of AI's extractive norms into operational practice. Bringing together industry and academic contributors, the volume reframes organizational care as governance designed into decision rights, feedback loops, oversight, and repair. Its copy-ready practices help leaders, educators, and policymakers replace opaque defaults with consent-first, benefit-sharing, repair-ready systems.
