Topics include the consequences of power and pleasing, the illusion of immunity, meeting behavior, corrective feedback, ineffective image, nonverbal behavior, self-serving analysis and the perception of management as a science. Perspectives are provided on avoiding the indirect hazards of working with superiors or subordinates who may be on the path to derailment. A reader self-assessment is included.

Ragnar Lothbrok, the celebrated pioneer of the Viking Age, flew a war banner called the Raven. This Raven boasted his lineage from Odin, the one-eyed god of inspiration, battle, and discovery. According to legend, the Raven was woven in a single day by the three daughters of Ragnar and imbued with such magic that it would predict victory or defeat. If the Raven appeared to be in flight, with its wings animated by the wind, then the Vikings would be victorious. Men could force this victory by waving the banner, but whoever did so would forfeit his own life to the Norns of fate.Ragnar flew the Raven banner throughout Scandinavia, and then to Ireland, Scotland, and the walls of Paris. His sons, Ivar the Boneless, Ubba, and Bjorn Ironside carried it at the helm of their Great Heathen Army as they conquered the Saxon kingdoms of Britain. Alfred the Great captured the Raven, but some believe it returned to Viking hands through the Ui Imar kings of York and Dublin. The banner fell at Clontarf before the Irish forces of Brian Boru, but then made its way back to Orkney and then to Norway. There, at the Battle of Stiklestad, Saint Olaf passed it to his half-brother, the last Viking, Harald Hard-Ruler. Harald called the Raven "Land Waster" and credited it with his victories throughout Russia, the Baltic, the Mediterranean, and then back to Denmark. Finally, the banner fell for the last time in 1066, in England at Stamford Bridge, the Ragnarok of the Viking Age. Ragnar's Raven: A Legendary History of the Vikings tells the story of this incredible age through the lives of people. Each chapter is the biography of an extraordinary figure that defined his era. Rollo, Ivar, Erik the Red, Floki, Lagertha, Turgeis, Saint Patrick, Alfred, Rurik, Sviatoslav, William the Conqueror, and many other heroes and villains bring this pivotal period in world history to life in a way that facts and chronologies alone cannot. The work is meticulously researched from more than two dozen primary sources and more than fifty secondary sources, but it is not afraid to challenge convention and offer new perspectives. Ragnar's Raven is the perfect introduction for the casually-interested fan of Vikings in popular culture, and a new take for the well-read history enthusiast. From myths, legends, sagas, and stories to the most-recent archeology and DNA research, this book brings the Viking Age to life.

In his follow-up to the bestselling The Road to somewhere, David Goodhart divides society into people who work with their Heads (cognitive work), with their Hands (manual work), or with their Hearts (caring work), and considers each group's changing status and influence. Today, the "the best and the brightest" trump the "decent and hardworking." Other qualities like character, craft, integrity, physical labor, and compassion command far less respect. This imbalance has led to the disaffection and alienation of millions of people. How did we get here? Goodhart, one of the boldest thinkers on the political shocks of recent years, reveals the untold history behind this disparity and outlines the challenges we face as a result. This is the dramatic story of the struggle for status and dignity in the twenty-first century."--Page 4 of cover
