The Adventures of Guille and Belinda and The Enigmatic Meaning of Their Dreams by Alessandra Sanguinetti. First edition (2010). First impression. Large format hardback in new condition. Still in shrink wrap. No markings. This is a new book. Please see pictures. PayPal accepted, any questions please get in touch. About The Adventures of Guille and Belinda and The Enigmatic Meaning of Their Dreams While working on a series studying families in 1999, in the remote farmland outside of Buenos Aires, Alessandra Sanguinetti discovered the two young girls, cousins, who would become the subjects of her next series over the next five years. The project began when the girls were on the cusp of adolescence, ages nine and ten. In the series ‘The Adventures of Guille and Belinda and the Enigmatic Meaning of Their Dreams’, Sanguinetti’s expert vision fuses together the girl's everyday surroundings with a dreamy feeling of myth. The work is a poignant exploration of the beauty and also awkwardness of adolescence into early adulthood. As the series progresses, we see the element of fantasy dim as the girls are faced with a harsher, more adult reality. So, according to the photographer: I have attempted to interpret the ending of their childhood by entering their imaginary spaces. The time when their dreams, fantasies, and fears would fuse seamlessly with real day-to-day life are ending, and the photographs I have made intend to crystallize this rapidly disappearing very personal and free space.

KEY FEAURES  Based on real-life experiences from the software world  Shows how to grow effective self-organizing teams  Explains how to create vision and purpose for day to day actions AUDIENCE This book is for anyone with a year or more of experience working with a team of any kind, and especially technical people, either as a lead or team member. \nDESCRIPTION One day it happens--a big promotion to manager, technical team leader, architect, or scrum master puts an inexperienced leader in charge of a team that is looking for guidance. Personality clashes need to be worked out. Heated debates need to be mediated, and the team is constantly putting out fires instead of doing the right things, the right way. Everyone wants to do the right thing, but nobody seems to know how. This is where leaders can get stuck and need the guidance that elastic leadership offers. This framework and philosophy of leadership can help as they strive to manage day-to-day and long term challenges, and create the elusive self-organizing team by coming to understand that their leadership needs to change based on the needs and goals of the team. Elastic Leadership offers a set of values, techniques, and practices to consider in current or future leadership roles. First, it looks at the elastic leadership philosophy--a way of navigating the leadership world that provides a moral compass when making decisions, large and small. It includes the leader manifesto, and the elastic leadership framework phases (survival mode, learning, and self organization). Readers will discover a set of techniques and practices the author has acquired along his own journey that will complement and support their moral compass. Next, the book provides a set of thoughts and notes from other leaders, with accompanying annotations from the author about how they fit into the overall framework and compass.
