Connectedness: Leadership for a Changing World, is based on a newly extended transformational leadership model, and the book considers how leaders can connect with others by caring, inspiring, appreciating, developing and empowering. It also considers how balance can be achieved between doing the right thing for the business (effective management) and doing them in the right way for people (leadership principles). By establishing a transformational environment for teams, projects or organizations, our human need to contribute and succeed can be harnessed. Designed as a management textbook, many key business and organizational concepts are reviewed and applied to challenges in the 21st century. What is different is the shift from a traditional, hierarchic notion of control, to values of trust and fulfilment that can be applied equally well in small teams, virtual teams and global corporations. This shift can also be applied equally well by individual managers, project leaders or senior executives with the desire and imagination to create a shared sense of purpose.

Zbigniew Czaja provides an overview of the state of teaching English pronunciation in Poland today based upon how teachers perceive it with regard to English teaching in general and their classroom practice. He analyses the causes of the existing situation and offers suggestions for ways to tackle pronunciation in the classroom. The author seeks to discuss the most challenging areas of English pronunciation for Polish learners in order to equip them with essential knowledge and allow them to upgrade their performance. He also calls for the global community of non-native speakers of English to consider L1 transference as a hinderance to effective L2 pronunciation which, if identified and worked upon, will lead to more comprehensible output among its users.

Call Me Lola is a moving photo essay by the acclaimed Israeli-American lens-based artist and documentarian Loli Kantor. For over twenty years, she combed through the family archives of her Polish-born father, a doctor and political activist. At the center of her work is her mother, Lola, who died in childbirth: a woman who manifests herself principally through images and stories rather than direct memories. The family documents and photographs that retrace the artists personal history are shown alongside new camera-based works, resulting in a deeply subjective reflection on the most significant upheavals of the twentieth century: war and displacement, love and loss, trauma and grief.LOLI KANTOR (*1952) is an Israeli-American photographer whose work centers on personal and cultural memory. She lives and works in Fort Worth, Texas.

Some patients are crippled by fear and anxiety. To help the 50 percent of patients who drop out of therapy before they have received its full benefits, therapists must know how to make therapy a safe place. Only if patients feel safe in their body and with the therapist can they feel safe enough to change. Co-Creating Safety provides clear, systematic steps for assessing and meeting patients needs. Every technique is illustrated with a vignette. Representing hundreds of therapeutic impasses taken from actual sessions, the vignettes show therapists what to say so they can assess and respond to patients needs moment by moment, help patients develop and keep an effective focus that leads to change, help regulate patients anxiety, deactivate misperceptions of the therapist and therapy, help patients see and let go of defenses that cause their symptoms, help them overcome their fears and face their feelings, and help them let go of insecure attachment strategies to form a healing relationship.

Introduction Why Change Management? We live in a time in which change is no longer an exception but the rule. Markets shift, technologies disrupt entire industries, customer expectations evolve overnight, and social and demographic trends reshape the workforce. Organizations that once could rely on stable routines now find themselves in a constant state of adaptation. Change, however, is not only an external phenomenon. It also happens inside organizations and within people. Leaders change, strategies are revised, teams are restructured, new business models are introduced, and digital tools radically transform how work is done. Each of these shifts affects real people with real feelings, habits, fears, hopes, and personal stories. In this context, change management has become a core capability for every organization and for every individual who takes responsibilitywhether for a team, a project, or their own professional journey. At its heart, change management means the systematic and solution-oriented handling of change processes, rather than letting change "just happen" and hoping for the best. It is about preparing and guiding transitions in a structured, transparent, and humane way.
