Sir Winston Churchill – Perspectives on Leadership
SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL – PERSPECTIVES ON LEADERSHIP “Continuous effort – not strength or intelligence – is the key to unlocking our potential” Sir Winston Churchill We have written on numerous occasions about Sir Winston Churchill and lessons we can acquire from his most impressive life. Whilst we think of Sir Winston Churchill as one of the twentieth century’s most courageous leaders, that was not always the shared thought and opinion of his contemporaries. In fact at the commencement of the 1930’s, Churchill had found himself on the periphery of power, and most of his party colleagues, friends and pundits had written him off as a prospect for leadership. He had twice switched parties, was not trusted within the conservative party and was as a result becoming increasing isolated. It was during this time that Churchill openly warned of Hitler’s militarism and rearmament of Germany, but the British political class thought of Churchill as a warmonger rather than Hitler. Churchill did not shy away from his beliefs and wrote articles and gave many speeches highlighting Hitler’s growing menace and his military and potential European ambitions. He became known as an irritant. The then British Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin, tried unsuccessfully to remove Churchill from the parliament. When Hitler and Germany invaded Poland the credibility of many of the British elite was shattered. Peace in our time and the policy of appeasement had utterly failed. Only one man had during this time consistently spoken out about Hitler, warning of probable danger to his own detriment. Churchill had felt tremendous resentment from those within his own party, now he was the person with the credibility to lead Britain in their darkest days. -

When Decker is out on the rear deck of the house talking with Alex's niece, a precocious eight-year- old, he notices flickering lights and then a spark of flame in the window of the house across the way. When he goes to investigate he finds two dead bodies inside and it's not clear how either man died. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. There's something going on in Barronville that might be the canary in the coal mine for the rest of the country. Faced with a stonewalling local police force, and roadblocks put up by unseen forces, Decker and Jamison must pull out all the stops to solve the case. -

Springer-Verlag 1842 - 1999: a Review Essay
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Research Papers in Economics Springer-Verlag 1842 - 1999: A Review Essay Dr. Jürgen G. Backhaus Professor of Public Finances University Maastricht - AE P.O. Box 616 6200 MD Maastricht The Netherlands tel: +31-43-3883636 fax: +31-43-3884878 e-mail: [email protected] Prepared for the Business Library Review. Abstract The recent Bertelsmann buy-out of Springer ends 157 years of fiercely independent scholarly publishing. On Tuesday February 16, 1999, the European Commission decided that, although both companies are active in professional publishing, the takeover does not raise any competitive objections because they have different focuses in that (professional) market. "The market share increase through the merger is limited", the Commission said. "Consequently, the concentration has been declared compatible with the common market."1 This review article recalls the formidable history of this science publisher and its role in helping establish entire fields of science and technology. In particular, the role of this independent privately- held publishing company in confronting attempts infringing upon academic freedom is being emphasized. JEL codes: I28, L41, N44 keyword: science publishing 1 Wall Street Journal Europe, Wednesday, February 17, 1999, p. 5 On February 16, 1999, the European Commission allowed Bertelsmann's taking over the science publisher Springer-Verlag. Thus, a 157-year old privately-held company ceased to exist as an independent entity, a force that had shaped the landscape of scholarly publishing. Bertelsmann AG is the world's largest book publisher, and it is among the world's largest media companies.
