Smart leadership - wise leadership: Environments of value in an emerging future
No full textThere is a strong link between organisational culture and profit after all a happy workforce is a productive workforce. Yet a culture of inertia rather than innovation prevails in many organisations. Wise leaders, however, know how to work with the grain of human value and worth, harnessing it, so as to add shared value both for the organisation and for the good of society. So, how can astute leaders set the right conditions for creativity and cultivate non-economic goods, such as time and relationships, that make for a happy, effective workforce? The author proposes the notion of organisational culture as 'environments of value' wherein inner value translated into external value is embedded within the triple bottom line and indeed an awareness of how an organisation is like a force field: it exercises power and leaves a footprint. This construct informs the emerging concept of Shared Value as requiring five literacies about: Shareholder value and return for risk; Value for the social environment linked to respect for the natural environment; Inner value of those in the enterprise, which, when unlocked, releases energies and adds value; Nurture of non-quantifiable qualities that promote human flourishing; Understandings of how power relations distort the way organisations operate He clearly signposts the link between promoting an environment of value within which these literacies flourish and the added value for the organisation arising from such a culture.</p

Hackamore
No full textLeeds-based artist Lisa Stansbie’s digital art is made through a process of browsing: meandering through information, following and forming connections between ideas. Capitalising on the Internet’s potential for absurdity, Stansbie wades through its unedited glut of information, following connective threads that defy logic to create works which tease meaning out of meaninglessness. Often centred around the theme of a journey, her films are narratives braided together from the data generated by search engines like Google. Mapping paths which intersect with the information highways, Stansbie finds poetry in unexpected associations.
In Hackamore, showing on Window Online, Stansbie’s films explore the fragmentary nature of narrative. Dislocated data takes on surreal, dream-like qualities as the familiar and the alien form an unexpected alliance. Like the hackamore, a traditional form of bitless horse bridle formed by braiding rope and rawhide, Stansbie’s work allows for negotiation, a to-and-fro between rider and steed.

Precarity and freedom : insecure lives and unequal freedom in modern times : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Politics at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand
No full textThe normalisation of insecure work in contemporary western economies has attracted increased academic attention, leading to a plethora of critiques on the conditions of insecure work and the economic and social structures which underlie them. In this thesis, I focus on the paradoxical way freedom both legitimises and contests precarious work. I explore how freedom and precarity act as tools of coercion and governing and conversely how freedom and precarity offer potentialities for resistance and provide opportunities to challenge neoliberal norms. Within the confines of this thesis I investigate Isabel Lorey’s theory of precarisation as a governmental process, based on Foucault’s genealogical problematising of dominant narratives designed to more easily govern populations. However, I also explore aspects of Judith Butler’s account of the wider implications of a precariousness that is inherent in our existential being, reflecting a physical vulnerability that drives individuals together to form protection in order to survive. In a modern context, where our inter-dependability is often made invisible and our survivability is linked to our individual endeavour and measured by our income, precarity in the form of insecure work often has wider societal implications and is driven by an existential precariousness. These implications impact both our individual identity and social fractures which justify exploitation for some, in order to secure a more livable life for others. This rhetoric highlights the often contradictory narrative of freedom. The often resulting atomisation and disparity of precarity, also offers new and diverse opportunities to defy neoliberal subjectivities, reformulating a narrative of freedom outside the market. However, the very diverse and disparate nature of precarity does also provide a challenging context for a cohesive protest movement. Conversely precarious resistance suggests new multiple sites of resistance, again challenging a discourse of freedom that is built on homogeneity and class solidarity
