Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The same impact of subtle movements underlies each and every one of your interactions with your dog. Dogs are brilliant at perceiving minute changes in our bodies and assume each tiny motion has meaning. Small movements that you make have huge consequences in your dog's behavior. #2 Dogs are highly visual, and they are always watching us for the slightest movements that they use to communicate with one another. We must pay attention to how we move around our dogs, and how they move around us, since this is how they communicate with us. #3 The researchers tested whether dogs paid more attention to sound or vision when learning a simple exercise. They taught twenty-four six-and-a-half-week-old puppies to sit to both a sound and a motion. The puppies either saw the trainer's hand move or heard the beeplike sit signal. #4 We humans often miss the signals that our dogs are sending us. For example, we might praise our dogs for giving us a ball back, when in reality, they just want the ball. We should pay attention to the visual signals our dogs send us.
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The cave rescue of the Wild Boar soccer team and their coach was a test of global collaboration, as several key actors performed as heroes. However, one actor went largely unnoticed: the governor of the Chiang Rai province, Narongsak Osottanakorn, who was responsible for coordinating the mission. #2 The fundamental mandate of a manager is to solve a constantly growing number of complex problems and achieve extraordinary results through other people. The dynamics of the Thai cave rescue may seem exceptional when compared to your own work dynamics, but Governor Osottanakorn was fundamentally like many of us: a manager coordinating, motivating, and guiding a team. #3 There are approximately 160 million managers in the world today. They are people who need to drive performance and get work done through others. However, most managers feel overworked, overwhelmed, and underappreciated. #4 The downstream effect of these changes on managers is that they must take on a broader and more complex set of responsibilities. They must learn new technologies while simultaneously coaching their teams on these new skills.
