The Ultimate Guide for every Millennial who's moving into management Millennials will be our next great generation of leaders. They are quickly filling executive and management roles at all levels. If you're one of them, you're probably leading not just your peers, but also Baby Boomers, Gen Xers (who have been around much longer than you) and of course, the new kids on the block, the Gen Zs. The younger generation of leaders are rejecting old school leadership practices outright, forcing organizations to rethink and reshape the way leaders lead. Leadership no longer demands a corner office, an official title or even a physical workplace. The terms 'boss' and 'supervisor' sound foreign to today's employees. Effective leaders are described as inspiring influencers, mentors and advocates today. Millennial leaders face the ultimate challenge of overcoming generational differences, reverse ageism, motivating an isolated, remote, gig and burnt- out workforce, while juggling all the responsibilities and expectations as a leader.
ACE-ing business through intercultural conflict resolution Questioning others' professionalism is an immediate negative reaction that many international executives have when facing workplace behavior which is culturally different from theirs. 'Professionalism' becomes the alibi for ethnocentrism which in turn jeopardizes relationships at work and reduces chances of success in the ever-growing multicultural business world. Such phenomenon may help explain why 70% of Merger and Acquisitions that fail are due to cultural differences, whether these may be corporate or national. According to another research, 60 to 80% of all difficulties in organizations stem from conflicts between employees. These difficulties increase when cultures collide. This book goes beyond individual views of "professionalism" to discuss the complex intercultural conflict phenomenon at work and propose practical ways to resolve it effectively. The distillation of our research enabled us to unveil a framework for intercultural conflict resolution called ACE, which consists of three parts: i) Attending to the emotions; ii) Contextualizing the conflict; iii) Exploring conflict resolutions.

"Merely not dying is not really living - the grief and angst of coping with tumours, strokes, seizures. After suffering strokes, general practitioner Dr. Idayu Maarof underwent major surgery to remove a heart valve tumour believed to have caused the strokes. Unfortunately, what seemed to be the end of a journey was only the beginning of an even more arduous one. Her symptoms evolved to multiple episodes of daily seizures. To control the seizures, she was put in a medically induced coma. A mysterious brain lesion became the prime suspect, but no one was certain. She later underwent two surgeries to remove what appeared to be a brain tumour. Dr. Idayu Maarof contextually concludes how a sequence of events and decisions led to a particular consequence. This is not an account about being ill. This is story of acceptance, gratitude, and the struggle for a life worth living"--Publisher's description.
