We prefer repetitive, routine tasks with minimal energy which is why so much of our lives happen on autopilot. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eComfort zones provide a sense of well-being, but change happens and we are thrust into transitions, sometimes against our will. It takes time to process the emotions and adapt to a new environment with a new set of rules and as difficult as that is for individuals, the level of complexity is multiplied in organizations. This provides specific challenges to leadership who must adapt the conscious act of leading audaciously as it is the difference between survival and failure. A leader must motivate people out of their natural preference for inertia and into a new level of excitement about making changes that they are programmed to resist. History provides excellent examples of audacious leadership strategies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDr. Judy Morley outlines five audacious strategies, illustrated by examples from the Civil War, the Battle of Gettysburg, and contemporary businesses. Each strategy is considered audacious because it didn't necessarily follow the prescribed norms and called for bold, daring action. The success of these strategies in the microcosm of the Battle of Gettysburg is reinforced by a contemporary example in the macrocosm of today's business world. If the use of these strategies can change the course of humanity, they can certainly beef up your leadership.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49743565422865,"sku":"NGR9781722505981","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52136087519505,"sku":"NLS9781722505981","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52754067947793,"sku":"NIN9781722505981","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1722505982.jpg?v=1750865090"},{"product_id":"historic-preservation-and-the-imagined-west-book-judi-mattivi-morley-9780700614776","title":"Historic Preservation and the Imagined West","description":"Stroll down Larimer Street in Denver or through Pioneer Square in Seattle and you feel that you're stepping into history while browsing the expensive boutiques and tourist shops. But are you? In this intriguing study of some of America's favorite places, Judy Morley takes a fresh look at adaptive reuse efforts in cities of the former frontier. Focusing on urban preservation resulting from the competing interests of architectural preservationists, city planners, chambers of commerce, and boosters, she shows how developers have often taken artistic license to re-create the western past into shopping centers and tourist traps - in ways that privilege an imagined \"\"heritage\"\" over a more complex history. Examining Old Town Albuquerque, Larimer Street and LoDo in Denver, and Pioneer Square and Pike Place Market in Seattle, Morley describes the creation and marketing of western heritage under the guise of historic preservation. She draws on extensive interviews, city council proceedings, and historic plats and photographs to construct a detailed picture of how these districts originally looked and were used, how they were renovated, and to what ends they were marketed. This is the first book to systematically address issues of historic preservation and western urban growth, examining the interplay of identity, preservation, and tourism. It identifies the economic, political, and social issues that transformed each historic district into a place that resonated with the popular imagination. Along the way, Morley exposes the ironies that have attracted criticism to historic districts, such as Old Town Albuquerque's celebration of Hispanic heritage - even though Hispanic residents were displaced during the renovation - or Larimer Street's hiding of its actual skid-row past beneath a veneer of more tourist-friendly history. But while critics charge that historic preservation often celebrates a sanitized past, Morley suggests that these locales offer both residents and visitors a window on a shared romantic history and a sense of belonging, serving as vital locations for community festivals, holiday events, and even public gatherings in times of tragedy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50307002433809,"sku":"CIN070061477XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/070061477X.jpg?v=1750700521"},{"product_id":"5-spiritual-steps-to-overcome-adversity-book-judy-morley-9781722505622","title":"5 Spiritual Steps to Overcome Adversity","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52331863146769,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52331863507217,"sku":"NLS9781722505622","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781722505622.jpg?v=1758149714"},{"product_id":"master-conflict-without-being-a-bitch-book-judy-morley-9781722506278","title":"Master Conflict Without Being a Bitch","description":"You can be a leader who has mastered the art of conflict--someone who is direct, clear, forceful, yet kind.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52684376998161,"sku":"NLS9781722506278","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781722506278.jpg?v=1762322890"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-judy-morley.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
