Th e Essentials of Leadership in Government— Understanding the Basics is the ‘X’ that marks the spot for being a great map and accurate compass, the perfect companion as you navigate your career in civil service and strive to Imake positive and eff ective change. In your ever-so-precious times of learning, you can use this book as an excellent map to guide you through the “BASICS”, described and explained by the authors in a clear and straightforward manner, to build your leadership skills. What makes this book unique is that it can also be a trusted compass that will help you through the troubled waters of ambiguity and moments of doubt. By using the knowledge described in this book, you will be better equipped to ignore the fog, trust your inner core, and get the job done, the right way. Reading this book you will discover that the authors start with, and keep coming back to, the need for leaders to be guided through their inner core. Th e authors write as though it is the most important characteristic of leadership, and in my humble opinion they are exactly right! Situated in the heart of Metro Vancouver, with its proud and diverse half-million citizens, the City of Surrey is a great place to live and work. Surrey has the particular challenge of being one of the lowest taxed jurisdictions in the region while also delivering a very ambitious agenda. Th is feat is accomplished every day in our civic government by the leadership qualities of individuals who follow their inner core and the BASICS of leadership to contribute to Surrey’s success. Th e City of Surrey is aware that we are not unique in our quest for continuous improvement in leadership at all levels of our civil service. Th e City of Surrey has an Emerging Leaders Program which we are very proud of. Th e Essentials of Leadership in Government—Understanding the Basics is an excellent tool that we will use to form leaders of today and tomorrow. Plecas, Squires and Garis have brought you a concise, easy to read and thought-provoking reference on leadership in government. I trust you will appreciate their focus on the unique characteristics of leadership in a government setting in order to meet the challenge of the public interest. Vincent Lalonde, P.Eng. City Manager, City of Surrey 7 8 Th e Essentials of Leadership in Government Introduction Why is a Good Leader so Hard to Find? Being a leader, even a so-called successful one, is not necessarily anything to be proud of. Being a “good” leader, however, is a much different thing. nyone who has studied leadership knows there is no shortage of information available on what it supposedly means to be a good leader. Discussions on leadership are everywhere. A quick scan of the internet will produce an untold amount of material— some scholarly, some from the business world, and some from a variety of companies Adesigned to help organizations improve their leadership capacity. Professional development courses and degree programs are also available to help people become eff ective leaders. Despite all the resources available on leadership, it seems we are still experiencing a leadership vacuum. Th e concepts of good leadership, it appears, are not getting through. Over many years the authors have asked a variety of people informally to identify fi ve exceptional leaders they have come across: individuals who truly exemplify eff ective and admirable leadership. Most people cannot complete the task. Some struggle to identify a single individual they know, whom they respect as a truly excellent leader. Almost without exception, those individuals considered as possibly good leaders are identifi ed as having one signifi cant defi cit or another. At the same time, the people we questioned did not struggle to come up with examples of truly bad leaders. And they were not very forgiving in their assessments. Th is phenomenon of the bad leader and the horrible boss is so prevalent that it inspired a Stanford professor to write about them. Dr. Robert Sutton’s Th e No Asshole Rule became a New York Times bestseller, and created such a response that he wrote Good Boss, Bad Boss to continue the discussion.

    The Green Fields of the Mind: Robert Johnson, Folk Revivalism, and Disremembering the American Past Blaine Quincy Waide A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Folklore Program, Department of American Studies Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: William Ferris Robert Cantwell Timothy Marr ©2009 Blaine Quincy Waide ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract Blaine Quincy Waide: The Green Fields of the Mind: Robert Johnson, Folk Revivalism, and Disremembering the American Past (Under the direction of William Ferris) This thesis seeks to understand the phenomenon of folk revivalism as it occurred in America during several moments in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. More specifically, I examine how and why often marginalized southern vernacular musicians, especially Mississippi blues singer Robert Johnson, were celebrated during the folk revivals of the 1930s and 1960s as possessing something inherently American, and differentiate these periods of intense interest in the traditional music of the American South from the most recent example of revivalism early in the new millennium. In the process, I suggest the term “disremembering” to elucidate the ways in which the intent of some vernacular traditions, such as blues music, has often been redirected towards a different social or political purpose when communities with divergent needs in a stratified society have convened around a common interest in cultural practice. iii Table of Contents Chapter Introduction: Imagining America in an Iowa Cornfield and at a Mississippi Crossroads…………………………………………………………………………1 I.

  • Forms of Intertextuality: Keith Emerson’S Development As a “Crossover” Musician
    FORMS OF INTERTEXTUALITY: KEITH EMERSON’S DEVELOPMENT AS A “CROSSOVER” MUSICIAN Akitsugu Kawamoto A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: John Covach Reader: John Nádas Reader: Severine Neff Reader: Allen Anderson Reader: David Garcia © 2006 Akitsugu Kawamoto ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT AKITSUGU KAWAMOTO: Forms of Intertextuality: Keith Emerson’s Development as a “Crossover” Musician (Under the direction of John Covach) Despite the broad range of attempts to mix “rock” and “classical” music by “progressive (“prog”) rock” musicians from the late 1960s, many writers on prog rock have interpreted the music in a relatively monolithic manner; they often have interpreted the resulting intertextuality simplistically as an elitist experiment that opposes rock’s populist origin. This could certainly be one interpretation of prog, but it is only one of many; there are additional kinds of possible narratives, according to the specific ways in which the materials are combined and fused. Yet the variety of intertextual approaches has rarely been recognized explicitly, and little analytical or musicological attention has been paid to the distinctly different intertextual styles. Generalized approaches to intertextuality have been common not only within popular music studies, however, but also within many humanistic fields. Since Julia Kristeva’s coinage of the term intertextuality in the late 1960s, theorists of the arts (literature, music, painting, architecture, etc.), sociology, politics, economics, and many other fields, have almost always treated intertextuality in a singular manner, presuming that all intertextual practices are more or less of the same kind.

  • A Treasure Chest of Classic Albums Extensive Vinyl, Cd & Digital Reissue Programme Through Bmg C
    EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER: A TREASURE CHEST OF CLASSIC ALBUMS EXTENSIVE VINYL, CD & DIGITAL REISSUE PROGRAMME THROUGH BMG COMMENCES ON 29 TH JULY 2016 WITH THE RELEASE OF THE FIRST 3 ALBUMS AND A NEW ANTHOLOGY Emerson, Lake & Palmer were one of the most successful, innovative and ground breaking British groups of the golden age of Progressive Rock. As well as creating spectacular ‘live’ shows that incorporated advanced technology and showmanship, they also recorded a cascade of powerful albums that sold in millions around the world. During 2016 and 2017 the band’s musical legacy will be celebrated by BMG with an important and comprehensive re-issue programme that will put the spotlight on ELP’s nine studio albums as well as their ‘live’ recordings and compilations. The trio’s remarkable style, combining original compositions with rock, jazz, folk and classical influences, was performed with passion and integrity by the founder members: Keyboard maestro - the late, great Keith Emerson Singer, guitarist, bass player and producer - Greg Lake Drummer and percussionist - Carl Palmer Their phenomenal mix of melodic songs, dynamic arrangements, brilliant musicianship and electrifying sound broadened the audience for progressive rock and guaranteed ELP massive international appeal, as they headlined stadium tours throughout the 1970s and 1990s and achieved sales of over 40 million albums. ELP also enjoyed a major hit single with ‘Fanfare For The Common Man’, and their 21 minute epic track ‘Tarkus’ is hailed as a milestone in Prog Rock history. New and old generations of fans will now be able to enjoy ELP’s music afresh, as their albums are released in a range of different formats, from CD and freshly cut vinyl LP to digital download, high definition digital and mastered for iTunes.

  • The Published Music of Keith Emerson: Expanding the Solo Piano
    THE PUBLISHED MUSIC OF KEITH EMERSON: EXPANDING THE SOLO PIANO REPERTOIRE by GIUSEPPE LUPIS (Under the Direction of Richard Zimdars) ABSTRACT The study examines the published music of Keith Emerson (b.1944) and includes solo piano transcriptions of thirteen of his compositions. Emerson’s music was published on three continents over a period of thirty years (1975-2005). Because almost all of it is currently out of print, a need exists for a cataloguing and a rediscovery of his music. The work is in five chapters. The first, a short biography, examines Emerson as a composer. The second addresses the importance of Emerson’s music. The third covers the sources of Emerson’s published compositions and a performance and recording history of Emerson’s music performed by pianists other than the composer. The fourth chapter surveys thirteen compositions which appear as solo piano transcriptions in the fifth chapter.
