Authentic Gravitas
by Dr Rebecca Newton'Gravitas must be caused by an Agent acting constantly according to certain laws, and Rebecca Newton has found those laws. It doesn't take confidence to matter, but it does take courage' SETH GODIN'A powerful, practical resource for people looking to bring their best self to work, and for leaders who want to equip others to do the same.' MELISSA DAIMLERHaving a powerful, meaningful impact on others is not about being the most dominant person in the room; it's about being intentional, curious, and courageous.Organizational psychologist and executive coach Rebecca Newton has found that even her most successful clients still want more of one quality: gravitas. They want their words to carry weight, to have a positive, lasting impact on those around them. Gravitas can seem like an elusive, intangible quality, but it isn't about adopting the style of another or being someone you're not. Newton draws on extensive research and experience coaching business leaders to show what underpins authentic gravitas and how anyone can develop it. She presents the counterintuitive idea that in order to be valued, we shouldn't spend all our time and energy trying to stand out from the crowd; instead, we should focus on the crowd - connecting with others and understanding their needs in order to make a significant difference.Newton debunks the myths of gravitas and gives readers the practical tools to develop it by: * Minimizing the gaps between intention, action, and impact * Remaining true to yourself while adapting to work successfully with people who have different styles * Choosing to be courageous regardless of how confident you feel - as you engage in courageous behaviours, confidence naturally buildsAuthentic gravitas extends beyond commanding presence in the room during a key meeting; it's about the small things you can do beforehand, during, and in all the spaces in between - to be someone who genuinely adds substantive value in the workplace and beyond.

Authentic Leadership and Organizations: The Goffee-Jones Collection
by Gareth Jones Rob GoffeeThis Harvard Business Review digital collection showcases the ideas of Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones, authors of Why Should Anyone Be Led by You? and Why Should Anyone Work Here? In Why Should Anyone Be Led by You?, Goffee and Jones argue that leaders don’t become great by aspiring to a list of universal character traits. Rather, effective leaders are authentic: they deploy individual strengths to engage followers’ hearts, minds, and souls. In Why Should Anyone Work Here?, the authors argue that it used to be that businesses could ask individuals to conform to the organization’s needs but that now today’s leaders are charged with creating the best company on earth to work for: they must transform their organizations to attract the right people, keep them, and inspire them to do their best work.
Authentic Marketing: How to Capture Hearts and Minds Through the Power of Purpose
by Larry WeberEngage on a deeper level by disrupting the typical business development script Authentic Marketing offers a forward-thinking approach to achieving an entirely new level of engagement with today’s purpose-driven and skeptical audiences. The heart of this process involves finding the soul of your organization. When moral purpose becomes central to your organization, it can deliver benefits to both the bottom line and mankind: a profit meets purpose proposition. This path requires a reinvention of today’s dated business model, abolishing the inefficient, siloed approach of developing a business strategy first and then later creating separate strategies for marketing, HR, manufacturing, R&D, etc. The new integrated model fuses a tight integration of business, technology innovation and engagement strategies, all of which are bound together by a company’s moral purpose. When moral purpose is central to an organization’s core, everything branches out from a place of authenticity. Rather than a siloed CSR effort, you develop employee and customer relationships based on real—not curated—connections with a brand’s moral mission. You build true engagement, trust and evangelism. And, along the way, your customers will actually help to co-create your brand. This book shows you how to transform your business by putting moral purpose to work for your stakeholders and the planet. Embrace a new model that integrates business, technology innovation, and engagement strategies with moral purpose as the glue that binds them together Learn the key steps to find your moral purpose Discover how to engage audiences with a transparent, authentic marketing approach that forges powerful connections and builds trust. With a world of options at their fingertips, today’s purpose-driven customers want a brand they can identify with and trust. Authentic Marketing shows you how to make your brand more human, more likeable, more genuine and guides you on how to connect with audiences on a moral level. This process will build a new level of engagement that will benefit both your long-term value and the world.
Authentic Professional Learning: Making a Difference Through Learning at Work (Professional and Practice-based Learning #2)
by Ann Webster-WrightThis book describes the experiences of professionals as they continue to learn at work. Although its focus is on the learning of health professionals, it draws on research about continuing learning from other "caring" professions such as education and social services. The author argues for a significant paradigm shift in this book, from the usual practice of providing programs to develop professionals, towards a better way of supporting professionals as they learn in their own authentic ways. The construct of "Authentic Professional Learning" developed in this book describes the lived experience of professionals continuing to learn in practice, whilst dealing with contemporary workplace dilemmas. Many of these dilemmas revolve around the need for professionals to demonstrate measurable efficacy and fiscal efficiency whilst wanting to make a difference to the lives of those they care for. Using vignettes of practice, professionals from community-based education and health settings describe authentic ways of being, practising and learning as professionals; drawing meaning from their work whilst accepting their professional responsibilities. Commonalities across diverse experiences of learning are described in terms of four inter-linked constituents (understanding, engagement, interconnection and openness) within a phenomenological conceptual framework that focuses on the meaning of experiences for those professionals.

Authentic and Inauthentic Places in Tourism: From Heritage Sites to Theme Parks (Contemporary Geographies of Leisure, Tourism and Mobility)
by Chris Bull Jane LovellWith the rise of post-truth and fake news, a thorough examination of authenticity has never been so relevant. This book explores the geography of authenticity, investigating a wide variety of places used by tourists. Not only does it assess what might be described as the more traditional objects for examination – places such as the city, the countryside and the coast – it also includes chapters on art and place, hipster places, gentrification, heritage sites, film locations, photographed places and eventful places. Using a wide-angled lens on places reveals linkages and possibilities, enabling the book to skate across the surface of the geography of authenticity, locating the magically real heritage site, the poignant replica, the authenticated theme park, the unmasked carnival. In focusing on authentic and inauthentic places, this text provides a useful contribution to the understanding of how places are changing, how they are perceived, and how authenticity is embodied and performed within them. Authentic and Inauthentic Places in Tourism is an insightful study and an essential read for those involved in the study of geography, tourism, urban studies, culture and heritage.
Authenticating Ethnic Tourism
by Philip Feifan XieThis book represents a shifting of emphasis away from the discourse of authenticity to the process of authenticating ethnic tourism. It focuses upon what authentication is, how it works, who is involved, and what the problems are in the process. By using the study of folk villages on Hainan Island, China, the book suggests that authenticity evolves from a static into a more dynamic concept, which can be formulated according to the different stages of development relating to all the stakeholders involved. Authentication is an interactive process in which a balance of forces defines a state of equilibrium. The book uncovers some interesting findings that will significantly contribute to the literature on ethnic tourism in developing areas.
Authenticity
by Ron WillinghamMost sales training focuses on getting to know the product, analyzing the market, and identifying the competition, but there is more to sales success than that. Successful selling takes three types of preparation: * The what: knowing the product, the industry, and the competition * The how: applying the knowledge, enhancing social interaction, developing relationships, and dealing with emotional ups and downs * The why: understanding the customer's purpose, intention, values, inner belief boundaries, and self-value Emotional factors are powerful contributors to sales success. In this book, you will go beyond the what to the how and why, and learn whole-being selling--selling that utilizes the head, heart, and soul and brings mental, emotional, and spiritual forces together. Sales expert Ron Willingham shares new discoveries about the deeper causes of sales success or failure, and offers a step-by-step guide to: * Develop stronger client relationships through enhanced social skills * Increase the value you bring to customers (and feel more worthy of success and compensation) * Boost sales by learning and applying the fundamentals of client-focused selling
Authenticity in North America: Place, Tourism, Heritage, Culture and the Popular Imagination (Contemporary Geographies of Leisure, Tourism and Mobility)
by Jane Lovell Sam HitchmoughThis interdisciplinary book addresses the highly relevant debates about authenticity in North America, providing a contemporary re-examination of American culture, tourism and commodification of place. Blending social sciences and humanities research skills, it formulates an examination of the geography of authenticity in North America, and brings together studies of both rurality and urbanity across the country, exposing the many commonalities of these different landscapes. Relph stated that nostalgic places are inauthentic, yet within this work several chapters explore how festivals and visitor attractions, which cultivate place heritage appeal, are authenticated by tourists and communities, creating a shared sense of belonging. In a world of hyperreal simulacra, post-truth and fake news, this book bucks the trend by demonstrating that authenticity can be found everywhere: in a mouthful of food, in a few bars of a Beach Boys song, in a statue of a troll, in a diffuse magical atmosphere, in the weirdness of the ungentrified streets. Written by a range of leading experts, this book offers a contemporary view of American authenticity, tourism, identity and culture. It will be of great interest to upper-level students, researchers and academics in Tourism, Geography, History, Cultural Studies, American Studies and Film Studies.
Authenticity: What Consumers Really Want
by James H. Gilmore B. Joseph Pine IIContrived. Disingenuous. Phony. Inauthentic. Do your customers use any of these words to describe what you sell-or how you sell it? If so, welcome to the club. Inundated by fakes and sophisticated counterfeits, people increasingly see the world in terms of real or fake. They would rather buy something real from someone genuine rather than something fake from some phony. When deciding to buy, consumers judge an offering's (and a company's) authenticity as much as-if not more than-price, quality, and availability. In Authenticity, James H. Gilmore and B. Joseph Pine II argue that to trounce rivals companies must grasp, manage, and excel at rendering authenticity. Through examples from a wide array of industries as well as government, nonprofit, education, and religious sectors, the authors show how to manage customers' perception of authenticity by: recognizing how businesses fake it;" appealing to the five different genres of authenticity; charting how to be "true to self" and what you say you are; and crafting and implementing business strategies for rendering authenticity. The first to explore what authenticity really means for businesses and how companies can approach it both thoughtfully and thoroughly, this book is a must-read for any organization seeking to fulfill consumers' intensifying demand for the real deal.

Authentische Markenkommunikation von umweltschutzbezogenen CSR-Aktivitäten durch Transparenz anhand von zweiseitigen Botschaften (Innovatives Markenmanagement)
by Jonas MüllerViele Marken legen hauptsächlich positive Informationen über umweltschutzbezogene CSR-Aktivitäten offen. Diese einseitigen Botschaften können das Markenvertrauen bei nicht eingehaltenen Versprechen negativ beeinflussen. Die authentische Markenkommunikation ist eine Möglichkeit, um Vertrauen zu fördern. Ein Ansatz zur Steigerung der Authentizität könnte transparente Kommunikation sein. Markenmanager stehen dabei vor der Frage, ob sie auch bezüglich negativer Aspekte transparent sein sollten (zweiseitige Botschaften). Die Wirkung von zweiseitigen Botschaften auf wichtige Zielgrößen kann mit der existierenden Literatur nicht erklärt werden. Jonas Müller widmet sich in dem vorliegenden Buch diesem Defizit und untersucht empirisch die Wirkung von zweiseitigen Botschaften zu umweltschutzbezogenen CSR-Aktivitäten auf die Markenauthentizität und Kaufintention. Hierzu führt er insgesamt vier empirische Hauptstudien in zwei Ländern durch. Aus den empirischen Erkenntnissen ergeben sich vielseitige Handlungsempfehlungen für die Praxis.

Authoritarian Capitalism: Sovereign Wealth Funds And State-owned Enterprises In East Asia And Beyond (Business And Public Policy)
by Richard W. CarneySince 1945, the liberal-democratic model of capitalism spread across the globe, ultimately prevailing over communism. <P><P>Over the past two decades, a new statist-authoritarian model has begun diffusing across East Asia. Rather than rejecting capitalism, authoritarian leaders harness it to uphold their rule. Based on extensive research of East Asia's largest corporations and sovereign wealth funds, this book argues that the most aggressive version of this model does not belong to China. Rather, it can be found in Malaysia and Singapore. <P>Although these countries are small, the implications are profound because one-third of all countries in the world possess the same type of regime. With an increasing number of these authoritarian regimes establishing sovereign wealth funds, their ability to intervene in the corporate sectors of other countries is rapidly expanding.<P> Proposes a new argument for why authoritarian regimes intervene in the corporate sector.<P> Examines sovereign wealth funds through a political economy framework that considers the broader corporate sector and political institutions in which they are embedded.<P> Distinguishes among three types of authoritarian regimes, identifying the specific political regime attributes that contribute to more aggressive or passive forms of state-led corporate intervention.<P> Cases on China, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, and Taiwan are placed in comparative perspective, with rich empirical detail about the owners of East Asia's largest corporations both before and after the Asian financial crisis and the rise of liberalizing reforms.
