Drawing on collected descriptions from a wide variety of executive leaders and a review of the literature on leadership character, the author focuses on the complementary, but often ignored, internal aspects of the leadership experience, i.e. that power comes from within and from being authentic. He argues that leadership is an interaction between a specific context and personal character, and that this interaction can yield valuable creative fruits for an organization and for society.

Multimedia-based Instructional Design: Computer-based Training, Web-Based Training, Distance Broadcast Training, Peformance-Based Solutions (with CD)

Author: Diana L Owens

Multimedia-Based Instructional Design is a thoroughly revised and updated second edition of the best-selling book that provided a complete guide to designing and developing interactive multimedia training. While most training companies develop their training programs in many different technological delivery media—computer-based, web-based, and distance learning technologies—this unique book demonstrates that the same instructional design process can be used for all media. Using just one process reduces cycle time for course development—and also reduces costs.
