Wilders' Party for Freedom (PVV) gained 24 seats in the 2010 Dutch general election, while Rita Verdonk's Proud of the Netherlands (TON) party failed to win any seats. Both were considered populist parties that appealed to dissatisfaction with the political establishment. Verdonk initially polled well when she founded TON in 2007, but her support declined, while Wilders' backing grew steadily. The thesis aims to explain the differences in their electoral outcomes between 2006-2010 by examining factors like leadership, issue preferences, and protest voting that typically influence populist party success or failure.

This document provides a research proposal that aims to analyze the differences in electoral success between Geert Wilders' Party for Freedom (PVV) and Rita Verdonk's Proud of the Netherlands (TON) movement in the Netherlands between 2006-2010. While both parties emerged as new right-wing populist forces, only Wilders' PVV was able to secure seats in the 2010 election, winning 24 seats, while Verdonk's TON failed to win any. The proposal seeks to understand why one populist party succeeded while the other failed by examining their campaigns, leadership styles, issue positioning, and popularity over time using theories of populist party success and failure.
This document provides background information and proposes to study why Geert Wilders' Party for Freedom (PVV) was successful in the 2010 Dutch general election while Rita Verdonk's Proud of the Netherlands (TON) party failed to win any seats. It discusses populism as a political approach and analyzes whether Wilders and Verdonk can be considered populist leaders based on key characteristics identified in previous research. The research aims to explain the differences in electoral outcomes for these two new right-wing populist parties that emerged in the Netherlands between 2006-2010 and were initially both polling well.
The document discusses Rita Verdonk and Geert Wilders, two right-wing populist politicians in the Netherlands. Both founded their own political parties after leaving the VVD party. While early polls showed Verdonk as potentially successful, Wilders was able to secure seats in the 2010 election while Verdonk failed to win any. The document analyzes whether and how Wilders and Verdonk can be characterized as populist politicians based on definitions of populism, and explores possible explanations for their differing electoral outcomes.
This document discusses organizational culture and Fons Trompenaars' model for analyzing it. Trompenaars proposes that culture can be analyzed using seven value dimensions: universalism vs particularism, individualism vs communitarianism, neutral vs affective, specific vs diffuse, achievement vs ascription, sequential time vs synchronic time, and internal vs external control. The document also outlines four extreme stereotypes of corporate culture: incubator, guided missile, family, and Eiffel tower. Students are assigned to analyze their organization using Trompenaars' framework and determine which stereotype best fits.
The document discusses values, principles, and practices for personal and professional transformation. It defines values as judgments about what is important, principles as foundations for belief, and practices as actions. Rituals are described as prescribed actions that can help or hinder transformation depending on whether they are ends in themselves or support higher values. Examples like yoga, agile practices, and retrospectives are discussed as potential practices or rituals. Universal ideals of truth, strength, beauty, fraternity, equality, and liberty are presented as ideals to guide behavior and conduct. The document advocates authentic self-realization through ideals that harmonize with human nature.

Being a Leader PPT Own presentation ABDShakti Ghosal
This document discusses an ontological-phenomenological model for understanding leadership and effective leadership exercise. It argues that most leadership is studied and taught from an "in the stands" perspective rather than an "on the court" first-person experience. Extraordinary leaders are effective because they see and interact with situations differently than others. The way a situation occurs for a person shapes their actions, so leadership is about committing to a desired future and acting in the present to realize that future for all stakeholders.
The document discusses the SOAR framework as an alternative to SWOT for strategic planning. It summarizes SOAR as focusing on strengths, opportunities, aspirations, and results with a collaborative rather than competitive mindset.

Workshop for film programmers and festival organizers to encourage creative and strategic thinking regarding their spotting collaboration opportunities.
Intrinsic motivation is key to sustainable behavior change. Extrinsic rewards can undermine intrinsic motivation and are ineffective for long-term change. True motivation comes from autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Sustainable change stems from discovering one's ideal self and assessing how to close the gap with one's real self. An individual's thoughts and values also play a central role in motivation and behavior. Organizations should foster constructive thinking to promote intrinsic motivation.

10 Essential PowerPhrases for Administrative ProfessionalsMeryl Runion Rose
This document provides phrases for administrative assistants to use in communicating professionally and effectively managing their workload and priorities. It suggests phrases to request the full attention of busy executives for important check-ins, affirm one's expertise and authority when representing others, establish boundaries when treated unprofessionally, and position oneself as an equal partner and team member rather than a subordinate. The goal is to empower assistants through strategic language use.
The document is a session from the SpeakStrong method which teaches listening with both ears, finding the good within negative emotions, and feeding the good wolf. It shares an allegory of two wolves - a good wolf and a bad wolf - that live within each person. The lesson is that by listening with compassion and understanding what emotions try to teach us, we can find the power, tenderness, aliveness and wisdom within ourselves and feed the good wolf.
The document is a plea to communication instructors to stop overzealously demonizing common words like "but" and "try". While word choices impact meaning, these words are not inherently wrong. Communication would be improved by thoughtfully considering how words are used rather than harshly enforcing rules about particular words. People should practice nuanced understanding of words rather than strict policing of language.

The document discusses the improvement kata as a way for individuals and managers to learn how to learn. It presents the kata as a pattern for scientific inquiry that develops skills for problem solving.

The kata shifts learning from abstract concepts to concrete practical applications.
