Re-Imagining Power In Leadership: Reflection, Integration, And Servant-Leadership, Karel S. San Juan Jan 2005

Re-Imagining Power In Leadership: Reflection, Integration, And Servant-Leadership, Karel S. San Juan

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

Leadership is imbued with the idea of power. Think about leadership, and soon after you will think of power as well. This is because power is a compelling aspect of leadership. Think about power-and you evoke several images. Power is a different and an independent phenomenon. It surrounds our everyday life in a ubiquitous and pervasive way-physical power, solar power, social power, spiritual power, and so on.

On The Optimization Of Visualizations Of Complex Phenomena, Donald H. House, Althea D. Bair, Colin Ware Jan 2005

On The Optimization Of Visualizations Of Complex Phenomena, Donald H. House, Althea D. Bair, Colin Ware

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

The problem of perceptually optimizing complex visualizations is a difficult one, involving perceptual as well as aesthetic issues. In our experience, controlled experiments are quite limited in their ability to uncover interrelationships among visualization parameters, and thus may not be the most useful way to develop rules-of-thumb or theory to guide the production of high-quality visualizations. In this paper, we propose a new experimental approach to optimizing visualization quality that integrates some of the strong points of controlled experiments with methods more suited to investigating complex highly-coupled phenomena. We use human-in-the-loop experiments to search through visualization parameter space, generating large …
