Collaboration: how leaders avoid the traps, build common ground, and reap big results
No full textIn Collaboration, author Morten Hansen takes aim at what many leaders inherently know: in today's competitive environment, companywide collaboration is an imperative for successful strategy execution, yet the sought-after synergies are rarely, if ever, realized. In fact, most cross-unit collaborative efforts end up wasting time, money, and resources. How can managers avoid the costly traps of collaboration and instead start getting the results they need? In this book, Hansen shows managers how to get collaboration right through "disciplined collaboration"-- a practical framework and set of tools managers can use to: · Assess when--and when not--to pursue collaboration across units to achieve goals · Identify and overcome the four barriers to collaboration · Get people to buy into the larger picture, even when they own only a small piece of it · Be a "T-Shaped Manager," collaborating across divisions while still working deeply in your own unit · Create networks across the organization that are not large, but nimble and effective Based on the author's long-running research, in-depth case studies, and company interviews, Collaboration delivers practical advice and tools to help your organization collaborate--for real results
Retuning Education: Bildung e exemplaridade além da lógica do progresso Morten Timmermann Korsgaard
No full textThe logic of progress is an umbrella term that encompasses both the expected results in international standardized tests, as well as learning aims, which should also be scaffolded and obtain visible results. All of the former tend to simplify teaching and learning, reducing these to mere technical problems to be solved. To those of us who work in education the logic of progress has become part of our lives. The work of Morten T. Korsgaard (2024) recognizes this context and contributes from philosophy of education with images and metaphors that can help us create other meanings and approaches to education and Bildung, generating starting points to stablish a relationship with the world, rather than focusing on learning aims or objectives that cannot be predicted and threaten creativity and freedom. To this end, he delves into and engages in conversation with solid philosophical references, visiting authors ranging from Antiquity to critical pedagogy or feminisms, who offer him a counterpoint and accompany his careful reflections on Bildung and Erziehung. The author will thus be oriented to formulate key questions for education without trying to solve them, on the contrary, he will propose exemplarity as a possible entryway, as education’s main aim would be to create a space where we can focus our attention and gaze, inclining towards the common world.La lógica del progreso es un término general que abarca tanto los resultados esperados y esperables en pruebas internacionales estandarizadas, como unos objetivos de logro, también progresivos, que ordenan la enseñanza y el aprendizaje, a los que cada vez más nos hemos ido acostumbrando quienes trabajamos en la educación. El trabajo de Morten T. Korsgaard (2024) reconoce este contexto y abona desde la filosofía de la educación con imágenes y metáforas que puedan servirnos para construir otros sentidos y abordajes de lo educativo, y de la formación, más vinculados a generar puntos de partida para entrar en relación con el mundo, que a centrarse esos puntos de llegada que no se pueden predecir y atentan contra la creatividad y la libertad. Para ello profundiza y conversa con referencias filosóficas sólidas visitando autores y autoras que van desde la Antigüedad hasta la pedagogía crítica o los feminismos, que le ofrecen contrapunto y que acompañan sus reflexiones cuidadosas en cuanto al Bildung y Erziehung. El autor se orientará así a formular preguntas clave para lo educativo sin intentar resolverlas, por el contrario propondrá la ejemplaridad como posible camino de entrada, dado que lo sustantivo por parte de la formación sería el de abrir un espacio donde focalizar la atención y la mirada e inclinarse hacia el mundo común.A lógica do progresso é um termo geral que engloba tanto os resultados esperados e a serem esperados em testes padronizados internacionais quanto os objetivos de realização, também progressivos, que ordenam o ensino e a aprendizagem, aos quais nós, que trabalhamos com educação, estamos cada vez mais acostumados. O trabalho de Morten T. Korsgaard (2024) reconhece esse contexto e contribui, a partir da filosofia da educação, com imagens e metáforas que podem nos ajudar a construir outros significados e abordagens para a educação e o treinamento, mais ligados à geração de pontos de partida para entrar em um relacionamento com o mundo, em vez de se concentrar nos pontos de chegada que não podem ser previstos e que ameaçam a criatividade e a liberdade. Para isso, ele explora e discute sólidas referências filosóficas com autores que vão desde a antiguidade até a pedagogia crítica e o feminismo, que fornecem um contraponto e acompanham suas cuidadosas reflexões sobre educação e formação. Dessa forma, o autor se orientará para formular questões-chave para a educação sem tentar resolvê-las, mas, em vez disso, proporá a exemplaridade como uma possível porta de entrada, uma vez que o aspecto substantivo da educação seria abrir um espaço no qual concentrar a atenção e o olhar e inclinar-se para o mundo comum

”Vi er jo en virksomhed, der er særdeles overgennemsnitlig på empati”:Rekruttering af bløde kompetencer i ambulancetjenesten
No full textEn række sociologer har de seneste år peget på, at den postindustrielle serviceøkonomi stiller stadigt større krav til servicemedarbejderes sociale og følelsesmæssige kompetencer. Eva Illouz (2008) argumenterer eksempelvis for, at vestlige samfund kendetegnes af en ”emotionel kapitalisme”, hvor følelsesmæssige kompetencer er blevet en central stratifikationsfaktor, som marginaliserer især mænd med en traditionel arbejderklasse habitus. Men få studier har undersøgt, hvordan arbejdsgivere rent faktisk vurderer ansøgernes sociale og følelsesmæssige kompetencer. Gennem interviews og observationsstudier har artiklens forfatter undersøgt, hvordan verdens største ambulanceoperatør vurderer og værdsætter ansøgeres sociale og følelsesmæssige kompetencer gennem rekrutteringsprocessen til stillingen som ambulanceredderelev. Artiklen viser med udgangspunkt i fire ansættelsessamtaler med mandlige ansøgere, hvordan ansøgerens primære følelsesmæssige habitus har betydning for samtalens udfald og de sympatirelationer, som skabes i forbindelse med samtalen. Data viser også, at selvom ledelsen fremhæver, at personlighed og empati er afgørende i screeningen af ansøgerne, så anvender virksomheden ikke personlighedstest eller andre psykologiske teknologier i rekrutteringsprocessen. Sociale og følelsesmæssige kompetencer vurderes derimod ud fra ansøgerens institutionaliserede omsorgskapital samt bedømmelsesudvalgets mavefornemmelse af ansøgerens følelsesmæssige dispositioner og evne til at passe ind både i faget og virksomhed.
ENGELSK ABSTRACT:
Morten Kyed: ”We Are a Business that Is Really above Average in Empathy”: Recruiting ”Soft Competences” in Ambulance Service
A number of sociologists have suggested that the post-industrial service economy is placing increasing demands on service employees’ social and emotional skills. Eva Illouz (2008), for instance, argues that Western societies are characterised by an ”emotional capitalism”, in which emotional competencies are pivotal for social stratification and marginalisation of men with a traditional working class habitus. However, few studies have examined how employers actually assess applicants’ social and emotional skills. Through interviews and observational studies, the author has studied how the world’s largest ambulance operator assesses and evaluates social and emotional skills of ambulance apprentice applicants. Employing four job interviews with male candidates, the article illustrates how the applicant’s primary emotional habitus is important for the construction of sympathy relations during the job interviews and the outcome of the conversation. The data also shows that although management emphasises that personality and empathy are crucial when screening applicants, the company does not use personality tests or other psychological technologies in the recruitment process. Assessment of social and emotional skills is based on the candidate’s ”institutionalised care capital” and the assessment committee’s gut feeling about the applicant’s emotional disposition and ability to fit into both the vocation and the company.

Skriftens scen, blickens scen : Don DeLillo, Claus Beck-Nielsen, och romanens politik
No full textCries of the death of the novel and even of literature in general have become cultural commonplaces. In an age seemingly dominated by digital spectacle, many seem to think that traditional print literature has become an almost obsolete cultural practice, bereft of any critical social and political relevance. Combining theories and concepts from such diverse fields as Comparative Literature, Intermedial Studies and Visual Culture Studies, Morten Feldtfos Thomsen argues for the continued cultural relevance of the print novel not only as a form of aesthetic expression and experience, but also as a form of political intervention. Through readings of novels by American author Don DeLillo, and Danish writer and avant-garde artist Claus Beck-Nielsen, he argues that the print novel can engage in a critical and potentially subversive redistribution of what can be seen, said and generally perceived in contemporary society. Following French philosopher Jacques Rancière’s writings on perception as the ground of both aesthetics and politics, as well as W.J.T. Mitchell’s theories on multimodality and mixed media, Scenes of Writing, Scenes of Looking investigates the formal and thematic manifestation in DeLillo’s and Beck-Nielsen’s novels of an imagetext discourse, i.e. an intermingling of images and words, looking and writing. Such strategies insistently interrogate the relationship of mediation and perception to one another as well as the ideological underpinnings thereof. In doing so, the novels participate in the construction and possible disruption of the perceptual field of experience that underpins social order and political engagement. More than merely a self-absorbed play with media and modalities, DeLillo’s and Beck-Nielsen’s insistent mixing of words and images, the verbal and the visual, constitutes a deeply political interrogation of the conditions of possibility that govern our perceptions of the world and our mode of participation and interaction with it. Cries of the death of the novel and even of literature in general have become cultural commonplaces. In an age seemingly dominated by digital spectacle, many seem to think that traditional print literature has become an almost obsolete cultural practice, bereft of any social and political relevance. In Scenes of Writing, Scenes of Looking, however, Morten Feldtfos Thomsen argues for the continued relevance of the print novel not only as a form of aesthetic expression and experience, but also as a form of political intervention. Through readings of novels by American author Don DeLillo, and Danish writer and avant-garde artist Claus Beck-Nielsen, he argues that the print novel can engage in a critical and potentially subversive redistribution of what can be seen, said and generally perceived in contemporary society. Central in this respect is the formal and thematic manifestation in their novels of an imagetext discourse, i.e. an intermingling of words and images, writing and looking, through which they interrogate and negotiate the relation of mediation, technology and perception to one another. In doing so, the novels participate actively in the construction and disruption of the perceptual field of experience that underpins social order and political engagement

A conductor's analysis of "Les Chansons des Roses" cycle and an overview of the vocal compositions of Morten Lauridsen
No full textThe purpose of this study was to examine and describe the scope of the vocal output of Morten Lauridsen and to gain an understanding of his cycle Les Chansons des Roses. The first chapter contains a biography of Lauridsen. Chapter 2 is a discussion of Lauridsen's vocal compositions; Lauridsen has written two solo voice cycles, one solo song for voice and piano, five extended choral works, three Latin motets, a Te Deum, and several psalms for mixed chorus. The third chapter presents biographical information on Rainer Maria Rilke (1875--1926), an overview of his works, and a discussion of the poems used in Lauridsen's Les Chansons des Roses, including where the poems fall in Rilke's life and output, why he wrote them, and the biographical circumstances that influenced them. Chapter 4 is a study and conductor's analysis of each of the five movements in the cycle Les Chansons des Roses.Appendices include a discography, transcriptions of Jan Weller's interview with Lauridsen and Salamunovich for Music in Chicago, and transcriptions of the author's interviews with Lauridsen and three of the conductors who premiered his works. The author conducted a performance of the cycle and other works by Lauridsen on February 28, 2000.</p
Seismic and medical ultrasound imaging of velocity and density variations by nonlinear vectorial inverse scattering
No full textWe present an iterative nonlinear inverse scattering algorithm for high-resolution acoustic imaging of density and velocity variations. To solve the multi-parameter nonlinear direct scattering problem, the acoustic wave equation for inhomogeneous media in the frequency domain is transformed into a vectorial integral equation of the Lippmann-Schwinger type for the combined pressure and pressure-gradient field. To solve the multi-parameter nonlinear inverse scattering problem, we use the Newton-Kantorovich method in conjunction with matrix-free representations of the Fréchet derivative operators and their adjoints. The approximate Hessian information that is accounted for in our iterative solution of the (nonlinear) multi-parameter inverse scattering problem is essential for the mitigation of multi-parameter cross talk effects. Numerical examples related to seismic and medical ultrasound breast imaging illustrate the performance of the new algorithm for multi-parameter acoustic imaging.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.ImPhys/Medical ImagingImPhys/Van Dongen gou
Andreev rectifier: A nonlocal conductance signature of topological phase transitions
No full textThe proximity effect in hybrid superconductor-semiconductor structures, crucial for realizing Majorana edge modes, is complicated to control due to its dependence on many unknown microscopic parameters. In addition, defects can spoil the induced superconductivity locally in the proximitized system, which complicates measuring global properties with a local probe. We show how to use the nonlocal conductance between two spatially separated leads to probe three global properties of a proximitized system: the bulk superconducting gap, the induced gap, and the induced coherence length. Unlike local conductance spectroscopy, nonlocal conductance measurements distinguish between nontopological zero-energy modes localized around potential inhomogeneities, and true Majorana edge modes that emerge in the topological phase. In addition, we find that the nonlocal conductance is an odd function of bias at the topological phase transition, acting as a current rectifier in the low-bias limit. More generally, we identify conditions for crossed Andreev reflection to dominate the nonlocal conductance and show how to design a Cooper pair splitter in the open regime.European Research Council (Starting Grant 638760)Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO)United States.
