Optimize your talent by removing the obstacles in their path Capacity is a proven system for bringing the best out of your team-and yourself. Matt and Chris Johnson set the mark on how to succeed in the future with their energizing message, humorous stories and their generational differences. As the world speeds-up faster and faster, organizations and their people try to keep up. This pressure to do more with less has reached epidemic levels of concern and organizations are panicking on how to recruit, retain and attract the best talent for the future. Burnout, low engagement, and overwhelming stress are jeopardizing organizations’ ability to scale and win. As outdated performance models of the past crumble under pressure, Matt and Chris show you how to build and protect your most valuable asset—YOUR PEOPLE. What if you could beat the clock and expand your capacity by 6 hours per week? Or 11? Think about the organizational impact if your workforce were given fresh capacity to perform, lead, and grow.

By making your organization a great place to work, you retain your best talent and attract more like it. With dedicated resources, focus, sustainable effort, and comprehensive strategy, your top performers will be equipped to drive your organization to the top.

This tenth anniversary edition of the acclaimed and fearless graphic novel features enhanced toned art, an afterword by Mat Johnson, character sketches, and other additional material.In the early 20th Century, when lynchings were commonplace throughout the American South, a few courageous reporters from the North risked their lives to expose these atrocities. They were African-American men who, due to their light skin color, could "pass" among the white folks. They called this dangerous assignment going "incognegro." Zane Pinchback, a reporter for the New York-based New Holland Herald, is sent to investigate the arrest of his own brother, charged with the brutal murder of a white woman in Mississippi. With a lynch mob already swarming, Zane must stay "incognegro" long enough to uncover the truth behind the murder in order to save his brother ... and himself. Suspenseful, unsettling and relevant, Incognegro is a tense graphic novel of shifting identities, forbidden passions, and secrets that run far deeper than skin color.

Ein Studien- und Arbeitsbuch für das Zeichnen von Hand als Mittel des architektonischen Analyse- und Gestaltungsprozesses. Anhand einer systematisch gegliederten Auswahl von Zeichnungen des Autors werden die Methoden und Techniken in einer schrittweisen Darstellung detailliert vorgeführt und erläutert.Zeichnen dient nicht der Illustration, sondern der Exploration, der Erkundung und Analyse – dies ist die Grundannahme des Buches. Im einleitenden Teil werden Theorien und Methoden des Freihandzeichnens beschrieben – bewusst parallel zu den digitalen Darstellungstechniken. Den Großteil des Buches nehmen jene Kapitel ein, die zusammen eine Typologie der wichtigsten Teile und Bereiche des Hochbaus und des Städtebaus ergeben; beispielsweise werden für die Aufgabe „Fassade” mit schematischen Skizzen die besonderen Fragestellungen herausgearbeitet und Schritt für Schritt zeichnerisch entwickelt. In der erweiterten Neuausgabe stellt ein zusätzlicher Teil die Fragen und Erfahrungen dar, die insbesondere große Architekturbüros beim Einsatz des Freihandzeichnens für ihre Aufgaben gesammelt haben. Das Buch reagiert auf eine sich abzeichnende Entwicklung, in der die unproduktive Konfrontation digitaler und analoger Techniken überwunden wird zugunsten der Nutzung einer breiten Auswahl von Entwurfswerkzeugen, zu denen auch das Freihandzeichnen gehört. „Drawn to Design“ will zugleich die Entfaltung grundlegender menschlicher Fähigkeiten bei der Gestaltung der gebauten Umwelt fördern. The book is a guide for students and teachers to understand the need for, the role of and the methods and techniques of freehand analytical sketching in architecture. The presentation focuses on drawing as an approach to and phase of architectural design. The conceptual goal of this approach is to use drawing not as illustration or depiction, but as exploration. The first part of the book discusses underlying concepts of freehand sketching in design education and practice as a complement to digital technologies. The main component is a series of chapters that constitute a typology of fundamental issues in architecture and urban design; for instance, issues of "façade" are illustrated with sketch diagrams that show how façades can be explored and sketched through a series of specific questions and step-by-step procedures. In the expanded and updated edition, a new part explores the questions and experiences of large architectural offices in applying freehand drawing in the practice of architectural design. This book is especially timely in an age in which the false conflict between "traditional vs. digital" gives way to multiple design tools, including sketching. It fosters understanding of the essential human ability to investigate the designed and the natural world through freehand drawing.
