Freelancing life is known for being "feast or famine," because all the jobs seem to come in at once necessitating that some be turned away. When the work is scarce, don't you wish you could have some of those opportunities back? The most successful freelancers always have work because they establish themselves as being worth the wait. Susan Hughes is an editorial freelancer who credits her business success to a series of self, skill, and business development strategies. Primary among them is reputation building. Hughes schedules her clients up to a year in advance and is rarely able to work people in at the last minute. If they don't want to wait for her quality services, she's okay with that. She says, "Clients can always find an 'editor' who is available immediately and often at half the cost. And those potential clients who hurried off to book one of those one-dollar-a-page editors with a two-day turnaround time? They often come back, determined to pay for professional editing and willing to wait several months to get it done right." How does someone breaking in to the world of editorial freelancing become worth the wait? Topics in this Editorial Freelancers Association Publication include Hughes's advice to: Know Your Stuff, Get Organized, Build Your Brand, Grow Your Social Media Presence, Ditch Your Ego, Communicate, Be Assertive, yet Mindful, Learn to Walk the Tightrope between Serious Professional and "Real" Person, Teach Them What You Know, Surrender Your Role as Team Captain, and Charge What You're Worth. Revised for 2023, Hughes presents her best business practices that helped move her from fledgling freelance editor to sought-after professional. "It's not the number of manuscripts you hurry through that makes you worth waiting for; it's the quality of your work and the time you spend polishing your reputation that make the difference."

Be bolder, more resilient, and achieve exceptional results in times of challenge or transformation.

Humans and human wellbeing depend on the natural resources provided by Planet Earth, and they depend on the solidarity between human beings. That is, on the social resources provided by society. Both types of resources are available to everyone: they are public goods. The book approaches the topic from various angles, including the often-neglected dimension of measuring. It offers a holistic conception that covers the macro- and the micro-economic, the political and the developmental aspects. It shows which range of action is available at different levels of decision-making and which outcomes these may provide. And it emphasizes that a philosophical base is needed for understanding and managing the topic, and that wellbeing can only be improved and the common good can only be maintained if the public and the private sectors cooperate. With the advent of the United Nations' sustainable development goals, this cooperation has received momentum in all its facets and for all levels - from the local to the global. The book is aimed both at scholars and students as well as practitioners in businesses and in public service. In academia, it may serve as a companion to textbooks on, e.g., public finance, sustainable development, social affairs, and public-private partnerships, both in undergraduate and graduate levels. For professionals in businesses and in public service, the book offers an insight into the topic that does not recur to an academic language. There is always a need for books that appeal both to readers who are managers as well as to scholars who wish to glance beyond their adopted profession.

Learning good leadership is difficult. Learning great leadership is hilarious.

Inequalities and other "social fractures" mark our contemporary economies and societies. While global approaches may have long been sufficient in the past, the focus today is on how local dynamics can make inclusion possible. This two-volume collective work reports on these local dynamics, shedding light on how the creation of inclusive territories can be envisaged and developed. To this end, the involvement of public, private and associative organizations has been identified as one of the conditions for success. In fact, they act both as partners in a territory and as inclusive spaces. Inclusive Territories 1 examines the approaches implemented by several organizations that have made inclusion their wider objective.

Design for and turn your failures into meaningful learning experiences Written by a leading global expert on human cognition, productive failure, and learning methods, Productive Failure shows you how to design the experience of failing. Research shows that repeated experiences of intriguing, constructive failure can help students (and our own children, and anyone else we lead) develop creativity and learn more deeply. When carefully curated, failure can become a signal for learning, not the noise detracting from it. The result? Learners gain a lifelong readiness to push themselves outside of their comfort zones, using setbacks as launchpads for learning and innovation. The evidence-based principles in this book are powerful, not only in formal schooling contexts, but also for anyone taking charge of and designing their own lifelong learning. From learning a new language or skill to setting up goals that push you past your limits, this book unpacks the science of Productive Failure and describes design principles--and specific strategies built upon them--that let you harness Productive Failure for your own benefit. Learn and understand the science of failure Apply the research-based Productive Failure framework in classrooms, teams, groups, and organizational settings Learn techniques like retrieval practice, generative problem-solving, motivational hacking, culture building, and so on to deepen learning experiences Reach new levels of critical thinking, innovation, and success by making failure the norm, not the exception, and learning how to cope with it This fascinating and actionable book is a must for educators, parents, managers, leaders, and anyone who needs to help others (or themselves) learn how to learn.

This book aims to stimulate debate in the growing and highly controversial area of measuring scholarly work. The authors examine key aspects of this topic through the lens of the latest theoretical developments in service science and associated fields. It includes chapters explaining the theoretical developments and methodological aspects of measuring the quality of academic teaching and research, while other chapters provide a review and analysis of various types of scholarly work metrics and processes with examples from several countries, cultures, and educational systems. The current growing concern about higher education (HE) quality has prompted institutions to divide university teachers' work into different areas and to design methods aimed at measuring the productivity of these areas. It is widely accepted that the need to evaluate HE service quality is a relevant issue for any society. However, the authors argue that most of the current practices used in the pursuit of this objective are jeopardizing the future of the university as a place of knowledge generation, science evolution and professional education.
