Launch Lead Live: The...

CA$24.95

Is your organization struggling under the weight and expense of what feels like overwhelming but necessary change? Every day, organizations experience the fallout of failed organizational change initiatives—cynical employees, frustrated leaders—because they are not able to successfully implement or sustain the changes needed to compete. Leaders believe employees are resistant to change. Employees believe leaders are unreasonable and that change is undertaken only for its own sake.

But resistance to change is not inevitable. It can be prevented. You don’thave to feel like you are going into battle every time your organization wants to do something different. There is a better way.

Launch Lead Live helps the executive leader create a healthier, stronger organization because of change, not in spite of it, introducing keyelements that you can integrate into your leadership and management practices so change is no longer a liability but an asset.

Seagull...

CA$22.95

“waniskā. wāpan,” mosōm says. “Wake up. It’s morning, little one. You, me, and kohkom are going for a boat ride for the day.”

And that is exactly what they do in this quiet book that celebrates traditional life in modern times. Held warmly in his kohkom’s arms, little Luke watches ducks, pelicans and cormorants on the way to Seagull Island, where the family collects eggs for their shore lunch and to share later with Auntie at home. Seagull Island: kiyāsko-miniscikos is inspired by Elder Myles Hector Charles’s memories of gathering eggs with his grandson Luke in northern Saskatchewan.

Written in English with Woodland Cree words and phrases, the story and illustrations show the deep connection between families and the land.

Crown Corporations in...

CA$19.95

Each Crown corporation has its own story. Why are Crown corporations so important to the people of Saskatchewan? The province has a long history of creating Crown corporations; the first was created before Saskatchewan became a province in 1905. Since those early days, many Crown corporations have been established and almost as many have been sold, privatized or dissolved. In addition, a number of the Crowns began investing in outside enterprises located in the province, in other provinces in Canada, as well as in foreign countries. Many of these investments have been sold off, some at a profit, but many at a loss. And so Crown corporations have been the subject of much political debate over the years. It is this fascination that led to this book.

Little Red Wagon: A...

CA$19.95

Learning is less about curricular delivery and more about building relationships. The thought of school can invoke fear and loathing, or it can elicit warmth and wonder—the difference being a kind word, a nod of encouragement, or a listening ear from a teacher who cares. Over time, the educational landscape has changed, the structures refurbished, the equipment updated, the methodologies redefined, the strategies remodeled. And yet, in this cycle of perpetual change lurks the notion that some things must remain the same. Changes in education are an ongoing reality; what remains the same is the need for strong, vibrant relationships that will withstand the idiosyncrasies of educational fads, fantasies, and fashions. If you’re tired of the proliferation of “edu-speak,” the rationalizations for declining performance, and the continued erosion of standards and expectations of education today, then this is the book for you.
