In the succeeding years, Clemens biographers have either tailored their narratives to fit the parameters of a single volume or focused on a particular period or aspect of Clemens's life, because the whole of that epic life cannot be compressed into a single volume. In The Life of Mark Twain, Gary Scharnhorst has chosen to write a complete biography plotted from beginning to end, from a single point of view, on an expansive canvas. With dozens of Mark Twain biographies available, what is left unsaid? On average, a hundred Clemens letters and a couple of Clemens interviews surface every year. Scharnhorst has located documents relevant to Clemens's life in Missouri, along the Mississippi River, and in the West, including some which have been presumed lost. Over three volumes, Scharnhorst elucidates the life of arguably the greatest American writer and reveals the alchemy of his gifted imagination.Humorists, American19th centuryBiographyAuthors, American19th centuryBiographyHumorists, AmericanAuthors, American818/.409Scharnhorst Gary1618760MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814357503321The life of Mark Twain3950657UNINA03869nam 22004935 450 991016301000332120200702045816.03-319-45519-210.1007/978-3-319-45519-8(CKB)3710000001033221(DE-He213)978-3-319-45519-8(MiAaPQ)EBC4790546(PPN)222236892(EXLCZ)99371000000103322120170123d2017 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Agility Mindset How reframing flexible working delivers competitive advantage /by Fiona Cannon1st ed. 2017.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2017.1 online resource (XIX, 160 p. 60 illus., 30 illus. in color.) 3-319-45518-4 Includes bibliographical references and index.Chapter1 -- Managing a 21st century organization with a 19th century mindset Chapter2 -- The four dimensions of an agility mindset Chapter3 -- What is the business case and what drives value?

We know that organizations don’t need the same number of workers 9-5, five days a week 52 weeks a year. We know that not all of the best talent will work when and where we want. We know that command and control Taylorism stifles innovation and creativity. So why do we keep thinking of flexible working as a cost to the organization? A simple mindset shift is all that is required to grasp the opportunity that smart organizations are already exploiting. Stop thinking about “flexible working” and start thinking about “workforce agility”. By creating win-win working practices you can attract the best talent by offering the flexibility they crave and secure the agile, just-in-time workforce that can get the job done. The Agile Future Forum, a business-to-business initiative started by 22 founder members – mostly CEOS of big employers including BT, Lloyds Banking Group, Cisco, Tesco, KPMG, HM Treasury and Ford – have conducted case studies and a collated best practice from world class organisations which show that a more agile approach to flexible working not only delivers better performance but can also save between 3 and 13% of personnel costs. The Agility Mindset blends the insights of scores of CEOs, along with the frontline experience of practising managers to create this very practical guide. Based on rigorous research, but packed with practical diagnostics and frameworks, the book shows you how to create a fit for purpose workplace in a world where only the agile will flourish.Manpower policySuccess in businessCareersHuman Resource Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/517010Careers in Business and Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/517020Manpower policy.Success in business.Careers.Human Resource Development.Careers in Business and Management.658.3Cannon Fionaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut861726BOOK9910163010003321The Agility Mindset1922941UNINA
