Sommario/riassunto

This book deals directly with the characteristics of the work relationship the leader builds. It argues that the prevailing work community work culture is intended to help the leader lead but, increasingly it impedes the leader’s work.  Leadership is a function of the leader’s values, attitudes, and aspirations—in a word leadership flows from the leader’s spiritual character-defining core essence. However, the author argues that cultural forces coming from both inside and outside the workplace, often designed to promote diversity, inclusivity, and tolerance, have introduced into the work



culture values and behavior that are pathological to doing leadership and to the health of work communities. While attractive on the surface, these new values are toxic to the idea of relationship and thus threaten the work community culture, in effect "killing leadership." This book will arm leaders with the tools, resources, and techniques to recognize and overcome workplace pathologies.  After reading this book, leaders will: have a complete understanding of the key principles of spirit-based values leadership  see clearly that the leader’s values shape both the leader’s one-on-one relationships with coworkers and are at the center of the work culture they create to re-enforce coworker actions and decisions appreciate more fully the power of the ambient work culture to influence coworkers toward leader set values and methods guiding the work community know the toxic effect on doing leadership of introducing non-work values and standards into the work community culture understand the arguments against allowing subgroups of the work community to form and practice values opposed to the values the leader has set for the full group be better prepared to deal with the consequences of countenancing the presence evil, hate and/or fear in the workplace realize that not all coworkers are uniformly honest and truthful and learn ways to counter this behavior and still do the work community’s work learn a variety of specific techniques to counter coworker’s actions that violate the agreed-upon values foundation the leader creates that define a given work community and ensures its productivity.

Introduction -- Input/output Map and Performance Function for Control Problem -- Control Laws and Adaptive Control of Linear Systems -- Control Laws and Adaptive Control of So-called Linear Systems -- Control Laws and Adaptive Control of Almost Linear Systems -- Control Laws and Adaptive Control of Pseudo Linear Systems -- Control Laws of Affine Dynamical Systems -- Control Laws of Linear Representation Systems.

Sommario/riassunto

This monograph deals with control problems of discrete-time dynamical systems which include linear and nonlinear input/output relations In its present second enlarged edition the control problems of linear and non-linear dynamical systems will be solved as algebraically as possible. Adaptive control problems are newly proposed and solved for dynamical systems which satisfy the time-invariant condition. The monograph provides new results and their extensions which can also be more applicable for nonlinear dynamical systems. A new method which produces manipulated inputs is presented in the sense of state control and output control. To present the effectiveness of the method,



many numerical examples of control problems are provided as well.  .
