320 pages | New Riders Press (December 17, 2010) | English | ISBN-10: 0321714768 | PDF | 10,8 MB
Creating memorable photographs is a process that starts before you edit an image in Photoshop, before you capture the image, even before you pick up the camera. You must first approach the subject with the proper sense of perception, with the ability to visualize the finished print before you commit a scene to pixels, but still be flexible and spontaneous. Master fine art photographer Vincent Versace has spent his career learning and teaching the art of perception and how to translate it into stunning images.

In Welcome to Oz 2.0 — a completely rewritten update of the book’s first edition — he delves into what it means to approach digital photography cinematically, to use your perception, your camera, and Photoshop to capture the movement of life in a still image.

* Adapt your workflow to the image so you always know how best to use your tools
* Turn a seemingly impossible photograph scenario into a successful image
* Practice “image harvesting” to combine the best parts of many captures to create an optimum final result
* Discover the importance of bokeh — not only how to use it in order to control how the eye travels and sees an image, but also how to realistically create it in post-processing

The Power of Framing: Creating the Language of Leadership

Jo.s.y-Bass (November 23, 2010) | English | ISBN: 0470494522 | PDF | 288 pages
The Power of Framing shows leaders and managers how to tap into the power of language so they can persuade effectively and communicate credibly in today's business environment.

According to professor and managementconsultant Gail Fairhurst, through framing we define the meaning of "the situation here and now." Are we in a "crisis"? Is this situation merely a "cause for concern"? Should we be on "red-alert"? These are examples of how we frame the situations we face. When we connect with others through our framing, we shape reality. What's more, if we "manage meaning" when others are unable, we emerge as leaders.

Fairhurst draws examples from a wide range of sources including business, politics, sports, academia, and the arts to bring the concept of framing to life as an everyday communication skill. She includes a diagnostic instrument to help gauge your sensitivity to the framing concept. Fairhurst even dons her hat as an executive coach to tackle the common framing dilemmas that leaders face.

The Power of Framing challenges leaders to take it up a notch by viewing framing as:
* A skill that leaders must master to communicate vision and set priorities
* A science that shows leaders how to think on their feet and frame on the spot
* An art form that leaders must hone like a craft with story, metaphor, argument, and visual images as their primary tools
* A set of emotions that leaders must deploy to complement their message
* An ethical response in order for leaders to achieve and maintain believability, and so much more

The Power of Framing is a must-read for today's leaders, managers, and all those aspiring to these jobs. Its easy-to-read style and practice exercises make this a book you'll turn to time and again to sharpen your most important communications.

I,T G..rnance Ltd (August 12, 2010) | English | ISBN: 1849280657 | 180 pages | PDF | 2,9 MB
Expert advice on combining soft skills with hard techniques to fundamentally revolutionise relations with the Board. There is often a large gap in the relationship between the CIO and the Board. There is a disparity between their priorities and modes of communication, with Board members often distrusting CIOs despite their technical excellence. Are you a stereotypical IT Leader? Although the typical aspects of the stereotypical IT Leader are extremely valuable, they are often regarded as incompatible, not only with the Board, but also with modern business strategy, which now tends to emerge through a process of ongoing dialogue in response to ill-defined, dynamic and often unpredictable market conditions. Master soft skills In order to break into the Board s confidence and help to lead their organisation, CIOs must now become masters of the soft skills, and deal with imperfectly seizing the unknown, rather than working to perfect the known. Strike a balance bring innovation and success Incorporating the latest business thinking, this book explains how the IT Leader can strike this balance, evolve into the CTO Chief Transformation Officer and really contribute to the development and success of business enterprises.
