LEAD: Leadership Effectiveness in Africa and the African Diaspora
by Terri R. Lituchy Bella L. Galperin Betty Jane PunnettThis book considers the new business environment of modern-day Africa, addressing how management styles must adapt to societal changes across the continent. As investment in the continent grows and African businesses begin to look beyond their own borders, there comes a real need to understand leadership from an Afro-centric perspective. This book explores the similarities and differences across African countries, compares them with other regions, and identifies particular cultural realities that managers must consider in order to be successful in the new business environment of modern Africa. Building on their Leadership Effectiveness in Africa and the African Diaspora (LEAD) research project, the authors provide an empirical understanding of African leadership styles and how businesses can harness these more effectively. Drawing on the African Diaspora's values, beliefs, and preferences, as well as anecdotal material from African academics and managers, this book grants a realistic view of leadership in various African countries including Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, and South Africa. It will be invaluable to academics, students, and anyone interested in African and global business leadership from a non-Western perspective.

LIOVA (EBOOK)
by Marcos AguinisEl creador del Ejército Rojo, el líder -con Lenin- de la Revolución Rusa de octubre de 1917, el intelectual que generó la idea de la "revolución permanente", ese es el protagonista de esta nueva obra de Marcos Aguinis. Es el mismo León Trotsky, en su infancia y juventud, el que le permite al autor una proeza literaria: una novela de iniciación que sigue las huellas de una transformación apasionada y que culmina en la construcción de un personaje clave, que cambió la historia del siglo XX. Aguinis nos introduce en una historia fascinante, los entresijos, los claroscuros de un momento único cuya cima es la revolución bolchevique, hito mayor del comunismo. Con naturalidad, el texto se aferra a los oscilantes destellos ideológicos del protagonista y sus circunstancias, pero su trabajo mayor, su delicada orfebrería, es la de descubrir la esencia del hombre por sobre todas las cosas; un hombre con sueños que se pueden trocar en realidad. La acción de Liova (como llamaban a Trotsky de pequeño) nos lleva desde la infancia hasta la cumbre, pasando por los primeros escritos en Odesa, los destierros en Siberia, las fugas por la estepa llena de lobos, su formación a través de media Europa, los amores encontrados y los perdidos, las contradicciones, la familia, las traiciones, los grandes nombres (Máximo Gorki, Lenin, Rosa Luxemburgo) y los gestos de una domesticidad que desarma. Esta novela, provista de una intensidad asombrosa, arroja nueva luz sobre el personaje pero se lee "virtud de todas las narraciones cinceladas por Marcos Aguinis" como un vibrante relato de aventuras.

LIV and Let Die: The Inside Story of the War Between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf
by Alan Shipnuck&“A terrific history…gossipy as hell…the writing is classic Shipnuck…he will never bore you.&” —Golf Digest The New York Times bestselling author of Phil and &“master of both the art and science of sports journalism&” (Sports Illustrated), delves into the heart of the golf industry controversy—the battle for the soul of professional golf between the PGA Tour and the Saudi-funded LIV Golf League—in &“his best book yet&” (Golfweek).In recent years, professional golf has been at war, and Alan Shipnuck has been our most trusted correspondent on the front lines. Now, Shipnuck turns to the conflict that made Phil Mickelson, and many other top golfers, villainous in the eyes of the public: LIV Golf&’s disruptive—and belligerent—storming of the professional golf world. (LIV&’s unofficial motto, immortalized on hats gifted at a staff party: &“Fuck &’Em All.&”) In LIV and Let Die, Shipnuck delivers fly-on-the-wall reporting from the yachts where LIV was hatched and within the corridors of power as the PGA Tour flailed to fend off the threat. Shipnuck has traveled seamlessly between both tours—having countless conversations with players, caddies, CEOs, agents, financiers, lawyers, flaks, fans, and Instagramming wives—to deliver a no-holds-barred account of the most chaotic moment in golf history. Anyone who had a stake in professional golf lined up for an interview with Shipnuck—because they knew everyone else was talking to him, too. The disruption to an old, proud sport was largely conducted in the shadows, but LIV and Let Die delivers numerous revelations about what really happened, and why. Shipnuck&’s unparalleled access and award-winning reporting chops provide rich portraits of the brand names at the center of this sprawling tableau: Greg Norman, Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Jay Monahan, His Excellency Yasir Al-Rumayyan, Donald Trump, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Dustin (and Paulina!) Johnson, Pat (and Ashley!) Perez, Patrick (and Justine!) Reed, Bryson DeChambeau, Jimmy Dunne, and many more. Bankrolled by Saudi Arabia&’s Public Investment Fund, LIV Golf has upended the men&’s professional game with vast riches—blatant &“sportswashing,&” from the mouth of Mickelson himself. The bitter feuding (and trolling) between the PGA loyalists and the LIV camp made the battle between the tours deeply personal—but for the top leaders of the two tours it was strictly business, and in a series of secret meetings they reshaped the future of the sport. LIV and Let Die provides the previously unknown background and crucial context to understand what happened between the tours that shocked the world in June 2023. Long known as the most fearless writer on the golf beat, Shipnuck has delivered the definitive account of the biggest (non-Tiger) golf story this century and a lively page-turner that in places reads like a spy thriller.
