Traditional management training prioritizes clarity, predictability and control. In a matrix we need to be able to balance this with the ability to tolerate ambiguity, manage uncertainty and decentralize control. Managers need an expanded toolkit to help them move from the hard to the soft, from the concrete to the ambiguous and back again depending on the situation. Making the Matrix Work helps you develop your matrix mindset and will show you how to establish and engage networks that do not depend on role, control or authority to get things done.

Practical ideas, tools, and tips for managing yourself, collaborating with others, and leading other people when working in remote, virtual, and hybrid teams, and when working from home. Based on the latest research and over 25 years’ experience training over 100,000 people in remote and virtual working with over 400 leading organizations around the world. Includes the latest learning from the COVID period global mass experiment in remote working.

We all know about magnetism right? But hold the phone! Where does this force come from in the first place? Did magnetism play a role in the creation of the universe? Why is this force important in everything from atomic structure to the way solar flares form?

Radiation? What's that all about then? Where does radiation come from? What does it do? This audiobook takes a look at the many different types of radiation including radioactivity, X-rays, and other forms of emissions such as cell phone radiation. It also examines the nuclear power industry and the effects that different types of radiation have on living cells. The book is backed up by references to other works on this topic, and every term used is explained in a jargon-free, easy-to-understand fashion.

As of yet, nobody can say for sure precisely how the Universe came into existence? What happens to matter and space when gravity gets superstrong? What are neutron stars and what can these superdense objects, tell us about the nature of matter and how black holes are generated? This short essay addresses these and other objects such as pulsars and magnetars. For students, it is also a source of a number of relevant references on these and related topics.

This discourse takes a look at some vitamins and what has recently been discovered about how they might function in specific diseases such as prostate and breast cancer as well as neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Other 'essential' substances are also discussed. The work contains a wealth of references pertinent to vitamins and is thus an aid to students or anyone who wants to learn more about vitamins and disease states.

Time is something that we all wish we had more of. Yet what exactly is time? How and why did this ‘fourth dimension’ come about? Is it possible for subatomic particles to travel backwards in time? How does gravity affect time? This essay delves into what scientists have discovered about the nature of the mysterious phenomenon we call time.

Why do we age? What are the biological mechanisms which drive senescence? This short essay alludes to the main theories of aging and some recent findings on the topic of the aging process. The essay contains a list of relevant references to other material and will be helpful as a source of background information for biochemistry students as well as laypersons.

¿Qué constituye exactamente un átomo? ¿Cómo y por qué se formó el universo a la existencia y cómo terminará todo esto? ¿Qué partículas subatómicas van a constituir el modelo estándar? Este ensayo sirve como punto de entrada a la física nuclear y contiene muchas referencias útiles para otros trabajos sobre este y otros temas relacionados. El ensayo también se ocupa de cosas fascinantes.

What exactly is an element? Where did these fragments of matter come from? How did the ancient alchemists give rise to modern day chemistry? How did the Periodic Table of elements come about? Why is it called ‘The Periodic Table’? This essay addresses these questions in a jargon free, light-hearted fashion. Here, I discuss a number of interesting elements and how they have influenced mankind both culturally and superstition-wise. The essay, which also contains a number of ‘interesting’ element-related stories, serves as an introduction to the chemistry of the elements. As such it ...

Of all the things we know about the universe, what do we really know about the nature of space? For example, is there a beyond space? Can space exist in the absence of matter? Though it may seem like a dumb question - 'where' does space come from? This essay takes a look at what some scientists have to say on this issue; the work also contains many references on the topic of spacetime and relativity, which should be useful to physics students.

What exactly constitutes an atom? How and why did the universe come into existence and how will it end? What subatomic particles go to make up the Standard Model? This essay serves as an entry point to nuclear physics and contains many useful references to other work on this and related topics. The essay also deals with other fascinating stuff.

As a mental disorder, madness lurks within us all. This essay deals with the links between madness, genius, and the self. It takes a look at some famous scientists and mathematicians and their eccentricities. This is a quick guide to how madness arises and more importantly, how we can make sense of madness.

How do we remember things? How does a low voltage current passing through the brain improve our ability to do math? How is brain size and shape related to intelligence? Do smart pills really work? This essay discusses these and other issues relating to brain function.

What are radio waves? How are they able to travel through empty space? Who discovered "side sparks" and "etheric force"? Despite searching the Universe for signals from other sapient beings we have yet to hear from anyone - why so? This essay takes a look at how radio has transformed society and on the topic of contact with extra solar civilizations it asks the question - what if? The work contains some reference to the basic physics of radio and also alludes to other pertinent work.

Electrons are the simplest of sub-atomic particles yet despite being the most studied - we still know relatively little about them. This essay summarizes what some scientists have discovered about the electron and how these leptons interact with other particles. The essay also contains references to other literature on this subject.

This essay deals with the topic of death. It covers a number of famous poisoners and the poisons they dispatched to their victims. In addition to the mechanisms of drug action, the subject of apoptosis (programmed cell death) is also discussed. This essay is therefore a resource which can aid students and the layperson interested in drug/toxin action.

Recently, some doubts have been expressed as to the notion of taking antioxidant vitamin supplements. Also, some recent studies have shone more light upon the Free Radical Theory of Aging and whether or not free radicals are a good or bad thing. This essay examines the effects of so-called antioxidant vitamins, and whether these supplements are beneficial or potentially harmful.

This essay is a slight revamp of my original magnetism discourse. It contains some new information and is illustrated. The essay also contains a list of pertinent references and further reading material.
