1924. Pour la première fois, une femme étrangère réussit à entrer dans Lhassa, capitale interdite du Tibet! Huit mois auront été nécessaires à Alexandra David-Néel pour relever ce défi extraordinaire !
Huit mois d'un long périple à travers les immenses solitudes du " pays des Neiges ". Huit mois d'une vie rude et dangereuse sous l'apparence d'une mendiante tibétaine! A une époque où personne ne parle de "raid", et encore moins quand il s'agit d'une femme, c'est un magnifique exploit et une aventure exceptionnelle que nous décrit ici l'auteur!
Elle y ajoute sa propre quête spirituelle, et ce regard fasciné qu'elle porte sur la civilisation tibétaine.

'We zitten hier met een enorme prestatiekloof die we moeten dichten. Maar hoe vliegen we dat aan? Hoe doen we e orts op het benodigde commitment bij alle stakeholders? Laten we verschillende denkhoeden opzetten als we onze SMART doelen formuleren.' Managers, je kunt niet met ze leven en niet zonder ze. Nou ja, dat laatste denken ze zelf vooral. Maar nu ze er toch zijn, moet je met ze leren omgaan. Dat is nog niet zo gemakkelijk, want ze hebben hun eigen managementcode. Hoe je die kraakt, lees je in dit boek. De managementcode gekraakt ontcijfert alles wat met de communicatie en het repertoire van managers te maken heeft: hun taalgebruik, de verhalen die zij vertellen, de managementmodellen en -wetten waarmee zij grip proberen te krijgen op de wereld om hen heen. Met tools, tips en trucs voor hoe het (niet) moet. Het boek brengt medewerkers en managers dichter bij elkaar. Medewerkers begrijpen eindelijk wat hun manager bedoelt, en managers waarom niemand hen ooit begreep. 'We moeten dit wel even afhechten, maar dan kan er een strik omheen.' Heidi Aalbrecht en Pyter Wagenaar zijn erin gespecialiseerd om complexe boodschappen duidelijk te verwoorden. Voor hun tekst- en redactiebureau de Taalwerkplaats redigeerden zij talloze managementboeken.



De communicatie en het repertoire van managers wordt vormgegeven door hun taalgebruik. Het ontcijferen van dit taalgebruik in verhalen, presentatie en uiterlijkheden, managementmodellen en methodieken en de achterliggende ideeen van dit gedrag is de kern van dit boek. Het geeft alles weer over de communicatie en organisatie van managers en onthult hun trucs. Dit te doorzien (te kraken) bestaat uit vier aspecten: managementspeak, beeldspraak, verhalen en citaten en als vierde de modellen, methodieken en wetten van managers. Vreemd genoeg wordt in het laatste hoofdstuk een aantal belangrijke managementmodellen behandeld. Als slot een lange lijst met te vermijden woorden en holle frasen. De auteurs zijn communicatiedeskundigen bij een bureau dat managementboeken redigeert. Primair gericht op medewerkers die moeten werken onder managers die zich hullen in managementspeak, cliches en schier onbegrijpelijke loze frasen. En daarnaast op managers om hun een spiegel voor te houden.

War is brewing in the system unless he can find out who left the ship and why.Detective Miller is looking for a girl. One girl in a system of billions, but her parents have money and money talks. When the trail leads him to The Scopuli and rebel sympathizer, Holden, he realizes that this girl may be the key to everything.Holden and Miller must thread the needle between the Earth government, the Outer Planet revolutionaries, and secretive corporations - and the odds are against them. But out in the Belt, the rules are different, and one small ship can change the fate of the universe.
