Collaborative intelligence : thinking with people who think differently / by Markova, Dawna,1942-; Mcarthur, Angie.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages [3412]-344) and index."We are living in a hinge time when the way that we think, interact, and innovate at work is rapidly changing. In the past, "Marketshare" companies dominated, ruled by hierarchy and top-down leadership. Today, the new market leaders are "Mindshare" companies, where influence is more important than power and success relies on collaboration and the ability to inspire. Markova and McArthur believe that the key to collaborating effectively with our colleagues is respecting "intellectual diversity," the ways we think and process information differently. Each of us brings unique and varied thinking talents to the table, and when we understand intellectual diversity, we can come together like a symphony orchestra. Through fascinating exercises and revealing case studies, readers discover their own unique "Mind Patterns" and "Thinking Talents," and learn how to recognize the same in their colleagues. Collaborative Intelligence is the culmination of over 35 years of original research and draws upon Markova's background in neuroscience and her work as a "thinking partner" to Fortune 500 CEOs and some of the world's top creative talents. It is essential reading for anyone who works as part of a team, who manages others, or simply wants to better understand how people think"--Provided by publisher.LSC

The new neighbor : a novel / by Cleveland, Karen,author.;
"A CIA analyst with an empty nest, a broken marriage, and nothing to lose risks her life to crack an unsolvable case in this utterly gripping thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Need to Know. Use the children. This is the phrase picked up in a Chinese intelligence intercept, the one that convinced CIA analyst Beth Bradford to take on the case that would haunt her ever since. She will not rest until she tracks down the Neighbor, a highly dangerous recruiting agent who preys on high-value, vulnerable intelligence targets in hopes they might betray their own country. But Beth's life's work has come at the expense of her family, and things are beginning to fall apart. She dropped off her youngest at college and her husband has moved out, the consequence of years of neglecting their marriage. And then, the CIA moves her off the impossible Chinese counterintelligence assignment that she's given her life to. She can't make her kids young again. She can't convince her husband they share something they don't. But this case is different. It's something she can change. She'll find the information she's looking for, one way or another, because she's close to finding the Neighbor. She can feel it. She has to be. Because right now, she has nothing else. And the Neighbor might be right under her nose"--

"A newly belligerent Chinese government leaves US President Jack Ryan with only a few desperate options in this continuation of the #1 New York Times bestselling Tom Clancy series. Jack Ryan is dealing with an aggresive challenge from the Chinese government. Pawns are being moved around a global chessboard: an attack on an oil platform in Africa, a terrorist strike on an American destroyer and a storm tossed American spy ship that may fall into Chinese hands. It seems that President Zhao is determined to limit Ryan's choices in the upcoming G20 negotiations. But there are hints that there's even more going on behind the scene. A routine traffic stop in rural Texas leads to a shocking discovery--a link to a Chinese spy who may have intelligence that lays bare an unexpected revelation. John Clark and the members of the Campus are in close pursuit, but can they get the information in time?"--

Under assault : interference and espionage in China's secret war against Canada / by Molinaro, Dennis G.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."National security expert Dennis Molinaro reveals the shocking details of Beijing's five-decades-long effort to influence and interfere in Canadian political life. From cultivating future political leaders at the end of the Cultural Revolution to the foreign-interference scandals that have shaken present-day Ottawa, this definitive book addresses one of the most pressing issues of our time. Amidst heightened tensions between Western nations and China, Canadians have found themselves astonished by hostage crises, cyberattacks, harassment of members of our government, and theft of intellectual property worth untold billions of dollars. From Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's earliest journeys through the "Middle Kingdom" prior to his election to Parliament in the 1960s, the communist government of the People's Republic of China has perceived Canada as a staging ground for spying on and pressuring its ultimate target, the United States. As Canada's first tech giant, Nortel, was plundered of intellectual property by digital spies; as Canada was manipulated into advocating against the independence of Taiwan, infuriating our closest ally; and as Chinese Canadians were targeted in the country where they thought they'd escaped Mao's terrors, Canada's leaders have too often seen only what they want to see in China: an emerging market of inestimable value, and fertile soil for democratic change for a long-tyrannized people. Generations of Communist leadership have gladly allowed Canada to labour under these misapprehensions, even when the evidence of China's spying, theft, and harassment of Canadian citizens has been happening right before their eyes. The intelligence has always been available, but Canada has rarely allowed itself to believe what the rest of the world has long understood. Thoroughly researched and guided by the author's experience as a historian and China specialist in Canadian intelligence, and informed by numerous interviews with generations of Canadian politicians, diplomats and bureaucrats, as well as members of Canada's Chinese community who have endured this harassment for too long, Shadows of the Dragon is a timely, eye-opening account of a country compromised by its own illusions in a time of rising global conflict"--
