English | ASIN: B0CRXMRZYJ | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~06:25:00 | 182 MB
Why do some businesses "fail to scale"? Smooth Scaling offers a clear diagnosis, along with twenty practical Rituals to boost your organization’s performance and achieve frictionless growth.
Smooth Scaling addresses the most pervasive and least-understood fail point that threatens to kneecap even the best-laid scaling plan: organizational friction. Expert Rob Bier reveals why organizational frictions take hold as you grow and how they slow your company down.
These growth pains are both predictable and preventable, yet they almost always take leaders by surprise. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Until now, there’s been no resource to guide executives through this challenge. As a result, they end up playing "Whack-a-Mole," reacting to a never-ending stream of organizational, team, and people problems one at a time-only for new ones to crop up. Smooth Scaling addresses this gap, presenting a proven approach based on real-life experience and application.

The 53 Rituals, Grief, and a Titan II Missile Disaster


Free Download Jason S. Ulsperger, "The 53: Rituals, Grief, and a Titan II Missile Disaster"
English | ISBN: 1793609748 | 2022 | 216 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 10 MB
On August 9, 1965, 53 men died in the impoverished hills of rural Arkansas. Their final breaths came in a government facility deep underground while their loved ones were at home expecting their return. The incident at Launch Complex 373-4 remains the deadliest accident to occur in a U.S. nuclear facility. The 53: Rituals, Grief, and a Titan II Missile Disaster analyzes the event. It looks at causes but more importantly at how the mishap has affected daughters and sons for nearly six decades. It gives new sociological insight on technological disasters and the sorrow following them. The book also details how surviving family members managed themselves and each other while benefiting from the support of friends and strangers. It describes how institutions blame the powerless, and how powerful organizations generate distrust and secondary trauma. With an analysis of the event and post-disaster life, their children share stories on what went wrong and how they keep moving forward.

Polar Expeditions Discovering Rituals of Success within Hazardous Ventures


Free Download J. Knottnerus, "Polar Expeditions: Discovering Rituals of Success within Hazardous Ventures"
English | ISBN: 1032322896 | 2022 | 192 pages | EPUB | 629 KB
Polar Expeditions employs structural ritualization theory to show how rituals enriched the lives of crewmembers on 19 polar expeditions over a 100-year period. J. David Knottnerus identifies and compares failed, successful, and extremely successful missions in terms of participation in ritual practices and the social psychological health of crews, finding that that social and personal rituals, such as work practices, religious activities, games, birthday parties, special dinners, or taking walks are extremely important in increasing crewmembers’ ability to cope with the challenges they face including extreme dangers, isolation, restricted environment, stress, lengthy journeys, and quite importantly the disruption of those practices that define our everyday lives. Besides contributing to our knowledge about polar expeditions, this research yields implications for our understanding of ritual dynamics in other situations such as disasters, refugee camps, nursing homes, traumatic experiences, and a new type of hazardous venture, space exploration.
