How Design in Great Organizations Produces Great Leadership

Exceptional Leadership by Design

&ldquo;Young Man with a Horn is a great book, beautifully conceived and masterfully written. There is little else that can be said in praise of any book.&rdquo; &mdash;New York Amsterdam News &#160; &ldquo;The Young Man with a Horn is the story of a musician, a swing trumpeter who lives only for the pounding rhythms in his blood. Yet despite its subject matter, it is not the fragment of fervid impressionism that the jazz age used to produce; despite the irrationalism of swing, the book itself is a clear-minded, informed, coldly rational study of a swing-addict.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times&ldquo;Young Man with a Horn is practically perfect. You feel, and feel deeply, the atmosphere Baker describes, the music Rick and his friends make, the fanatic devotion of artists who can&rsquo;t take their music or leave it but must take it and take it hard. Between the lines Baker somehow gets a great many true things said about American life, its tempo, its elements of frustration, its unique and unquestioning vitality.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Clifton Fadiman, The New Yorker &ldquo;I first read this book when I was twelve. I loved it because it did not condescend or sugarcoat. It took me inside the music&mdash;it made me want to find an instrument and learn it.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Jesse Kornbluth

Fore shows that if the 'new man' envisioned in the figurative practices of Weimar Germany might seem at the center of the universe, he is in fact a prosthetic man: He has become a mere organ of that universe, which is now fully one of techniques and media. Fore's conclusion resonates powerfully with our own historical status in the Internet age and indeed the interwar discourses he engages are finding surprising echoes in current anthropology and media studies.&#8212;Yve-Alain Bois, Artforum, "The Best Books of 2012"&mdash;

This book is timely and important. In, 2014 Elspeth Jones and I wrote that we need to change the language of internationalization.　We observed　a disconnect between the three key stakeholders in the internationalization process: universities, students and employers.　This book is addressing this disconnect and is thereby a crucial contribution to the understanding of the relationship between internationalization and employability in higher education.
Professor Hans de Wit, Director, Center for International Higher Education at Boston College　

This book is a unique contribution to our understanding of the compelling nexus of international education and employability. It focuses on how prominent dimensions in internationalization, including outbound and inbound mobility, transnational education and at-home internationalization, intersect with student employment and employability. The book is a comprehensive text analysing policy discourse and practices from a range of national and regional contexts and discussing insightful implications to enhance student employability in an environment shaped by the complex relationship between higher education and the labour market. 
Dr Ly Tran, Associate Professor in the School of Education, Deakin University, Australia 

This is a fascinating book, which provides important new knowledge about the link between internationalization and employability. It is impressively wide in its geographical scope, and also in its coverage of education – discussing the ways in which mobility (for part or the whole of a degree), transnational provision and ‘internationalization at home’ can all help to build important skills and attributes for employment. A compelling read for scholars and practitioners alike.
Dr Rachel Brooks, Professor of Sociology and Associate Dean (Doctoral College), University of Surrey, UK.

While there are proliferating literature on internationalization of higher education and graduate employability, the book edited by Gribble and Coelen is one of few scholarly efforts systematically linking the two concepts. It is the most comprehensive book unfolding the complex and multifaceted relations between internationalization and employability with insightful discussions and empirical evidences of various contexts. It is not only a must read book for researchers in the field but also highly relevant to (international) students and their stakeholders, such as higher education institutions, policy-makers and employers.　　　　 
Dr Yuzhuo Cai, Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Management and Business, Tampere University, Finland.

International education has moved beyond a discussion of mobility to one of impact, sustainability and legacy. This detailed and valuable book uses the lens of employability, to examine current trends, challenges and opportunities in international higher education. The editors have compiled a far reaching and analytical review that will be of direct and immediate interest to practitioners, policy makers and researchers alike.

&ldquo;A master class . . . Anyone who wants to know who we are&mdash;and where we are now&mdash;must sit with [Ta-Nehisi Coates] for a good while. . . . It should inspire us as writers, and as Americans, that he urges&#160;us . . . to become better&mdash;or at least clearer on why we&rsquo;re not.&rdquo;&mdash;Kevin Young,&#160;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Ta-Nehisi Coates has published a collection of the major magazine essays he wrote throughout the Obama years. . . . But Coates adds an unexpected element that renders&#160;We Were Eight Years in Power&#160;both new and revealing. Interspersed among the essays are introductory personal reflections. . . . Together, these introspections are the inside story of a writer at work, with all the fears, insecurities, influences, insights and blind spots that the craft demands. . . . I would have continued reading Coates during a Hillary Clinton administration, hoping in particular that he&rsquo;d finally write the great Civil War history already scattered throughout his work. Yet reading him now feels more urgent, with the bar set higher.&rdquo;&mdash;Carlos Lozada,&#160;The Washington Post&ldquo;Coates . . . eloquently unfurls blunt truths. . . . Such a voice, in such a moment, is a ray of light.&rdquo;&mdash;USA Today&ldquo;There is a fresh clarity to [Coates&rsquo;s] voice&mdash;urgent, outraged, electric&mdash;that&rsquo;s never felt more necessary.&rdquo;&mdash;Entertainment Weekly&ldquo;Indispensable . . . bracing . . . compelling . . . A new book from Coates is not merely a literary event. It&rsquo;s a launch from Cape Canaveral.&rdquo;&mdash;Jennifer Senior,&#160;The New York Times &ldquo;Essential . . . Coates&rsquo;s probing essays about race, politics, and history became necessary ballast for this nation&rsquo;s gravity-defying moment.&rdquo; &mdash;The Boston Globe&ldquo;Biting cultural and political analysis from the award-winning journalist . . . [Ta-Nehisi Coates] reflects on race, Barack Obama&rsquo;s presidency and its jarring aftermath, and his own evolution as a writer in eight stunningly incisive essays. . . . He contextualizes each piece with candid personal revelations, making the volume a melding of memoir and critique. . . . Emotionally charged, deftly crafted, and urgently relevant.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews&#160;(starred review)&#160;&ldquo;Coates&rsquo;s collection of his essays from the past decade examine the recurrence of certain themes in the black community, the need for uplift and self-reliance, the debate between liberals and conservatives about the right approach to racism, and the virulent reaction in some quarters to any signs of racial progress. . . . Coates&rsquo;s always sharp commentary is particularly insightful as each day brings a new upset to the cultural and political landscape laid during the term of the nation&rsquo;s first black president. . . . Coates is a crucial voice in the public discussion of race and equality, and readers will be eager for his take on where we stand now and why.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist (starred review) &ldquo;Though the essays are about a particular period, Coates&rsquo;s themes reflect broader social and political phenomena. It&rsquo;s this timeless timeliness&mdash;reminiscent of the work of George Orwell and James Baldwin&mdash;that makes Coates worth reading again and again.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Stagg's slim novel deftly explores the shifting landscape of celebrity through the story of a young woman's rise from obscurity to Internet stardom&#8212;the 'low numbers' to the 'high ones'&#8212;after an online flirtation with a semifamous social media personality.&#8212;New York Times Book Review&mdash;Stagg is a fearless writer, and she plays with stream of consciousness diatribes and obsessive inner thoughts to create a compelling and addictive story that explores contemporary understandings of jealousy and love through social media.&#8212;Vice Magazine&mdash;Bored of her life working in a Tucson, Arizona, mall, 23-year-old Colleen takes the life-changing plunge that so many millennials often consider&#8212;becoming an internet celebrity. Colleen posts updates about her life online, gaining followers and forming a double life teetering between young adult normalcy and the uncanny phenomenon of being sort of, kind of famous on the internet. The coming-of-age story offers a psychological dissection of the logic behind sharing your every thought with a mass of anonymous strangers, exploring the strange terrain where the personal and performative overlap and bleed into one another. Without altogether celebrating or condemning the contemporary obsession with online sharing, Stagg explores the roles we play and the selves we inhabit, online and IRL.&#8212;Huffington Post&mdash;I had never read a good piece of fiction that featured internet culture as a predominant part of its plot until I read Surveys.&#8212;Rookie&mdash;
