ER Doctor

Entrepreneurship and Business Biographies

Paul Weinberg spent 30 years in the Emergency Room (or ER) as a medical doctor and has seen everything, Described as “a strange career” by the author, entry into the field is unrestricted and open to all who are brave (or foolish) enough to start into the stream without the knowledge of the tsunami ahead. The strangeness of the practice is apparent from the very first visit to a busy urban ER. The swarm of commotion and great vividness of the scene can be dizzying. The relentlessness of the torrent and its strange day and night rhythms can enthral and repel like no other practice or job. In turns shocking, sad and funny, this book contains remarkable tales, inside stories and the experiences of a doctor’s career in ER. Emergency medicine in America is a critical asset to its healthcare system. The ER doctor is located at the interface of the public and the first point of healthcare. If a doctor is needed outside of office hours, nights, or holidays, if the patient is uninsured or has inadequate insurance, or is of such a social state that they might be unpleasant to be around, no one is turned away at the ER. In short, the life of the ER doc is one where no situation is off limits. Authors: Paul Weinberg

The Enabling Manager

Management and Leadership

A practical, modern book for managers and leaders, at any level and in any department or company, who need to know how to get the best from their teams in a 21st Century business world. The world of work and the needs of people in the workplace have changed to the extent that the old models no longer work. Today’s manager cannot rely on “command-and-control” and a culture of compliance to get their job done. What is the answer? Much of what Millennials are asking for – development and growth, transparency and connection, work that has meaning and purpose, empowerment. These things suggest something very simple:   a change in management style, that is fitting to today’s business environment,  that  seeks to align rather than control,  to  enable  rather than  constrain, to coach rather than command. The authors/leading business coaches apply the concept of coaching to modern-day management, showing managers how to motivate and enable teams and team members to achieve their goals. Authors: Myles Downey (with Ian Harrison)

Group Dyna-Mix

Management and Leadership

Since the 2008 financial crisis, existing methods of executive leadership have experienced in-depth scrutiny beyond their control. In reference to Patrick Lencioni, to understand teams is to comprehend an “inattention to results, an avoidance of accountability, and a lack of commitment”. Executive leaders have been operating through silent, lucrative and confidential team dynamics that are difficult to access and subsequently difficult to challenge and understand. Dr Katsarou-Makin explores the team-to-trust and trust-to-team relations between executives and their associates – pertaining to the familial relations between these members and their unconventional codes of conduct. Under this umbrella of governance, directors, leaders and corporate gatekeepers operate in teams that are selected and trusted through unorthodox relations which must now come to light. Dr Katsarou-Makin seeks to explore how these teams operate through a collective consensus of trust and the values this trust demands. Author: Dr Maria Katsarou-Makin
