Have you ever sat in a meeting, observed a manager, or one of your peers, or even a subordinate, and wondered "How is this possible?" How is it possible that work does not stick to this person? How is it possible that every shred of responsibility rolls off, like water rolls off a duck. How can it be, that no matter how hard anyone tries to corner this person, force them to make a decision, make a commitment, accept a responsibility, these efforts are thwarted. How is it that time after time, while everyone else leaves a meeting with long lists of action items, this person, as if by magic, walks away with a clean slate, free of to-dos and commitments.
To the uninitiated it may seem superhuman. Like an Aikido expert at a randori practice, this person can take on a room full of determined opponents, and quickly, gracefully, fluidly neutralize them.
Some of the skills they have can be yours. With the Tao of Boss you can be the corporate Aikidoka, deflecting, redirecting, neutralizing your opponents energies until they are exhausted and thoroughly beaten. You can be the master of work avoidance! The graceful shedder of responsibility! The skillful deflector of decisions! Just let the Tao make your next statement, and watch your career trajectory rise!
Disclaimer: Do not grow overconfident! Tao of Boss is intended for self defense only!
While it gives you a great set of basic techniques you could use to dominate someone untrained in the corporate martial arts, it must be applied wisely, and never used to attack an opponent of equal or greater skill. Just as you would not enter the Ultimate Fighting Championship after taking a self defense class at the YMCA, using Tao of Boss to challenge an expert corporate fighter could be a costly mistake!
Used correctly, however, Tao of Boss will allow you to gain the respect of veteran corporate warriors, and absolutely dominate the undisciplined brawler foolish enough to attack you with nothing more than technical expertise, logic, facts, common sense, or a naive desire to get something done.
Flash cards are one of the best tools for memorizing information. This application provides a set of flash cards for memorizing vocabulary. These electronic flash cards are used just like paper or cardboard cards. The English word is displayed on one side, and the French word is displayed on the other. You can go through the cards, and see how many words you get right. Once you feel confident in your knowledge, you can test yourself by taking the Quiz.
You can configure your learning experience by selecting the number of cards, category, and order of presentation.
Other great tools for learning and memorizing vocabularies are word games. The word games included in this application are Concentration and Mix & Match. You can use these games to improve your memory and word association skills.
Concentration is an educational game in which some cards are laid face down on a surface and two cards are flipped face up over each turn.
The object of the game is to turn over pairs of matching cards. A matching pair is one where an English word matches a corresponding French word. When a matched pair is selected both cards remain turned over.
The game ends when the last pair has been turned. The score is determined by the amount of time required to find all matching pairs.
In Mix & Match, a player matches English words to corresponding French words.
Words can be dragged around the screen. Any two words side-by-side are considered “matched”
The game ends when all words have been matched correctly.
The time you take to match all words determines your score.
