Download or read book Transparency written by Warren Bennis and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-12-21 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Transparency, the authors–a powerhouse trio in the field of leadership–look at what conspires against "a culture of candor" in organizations to create disastrous results, and suggest ways that leaders can achieve healthy and honest openness. They explore the lightning-rod concept of "transparency"–which has fast become the buzzword not only in business and corporate settings but in government and the social sector as well. Together Bennis, Goleman, and O'Toole explore why the containment of truth is the dearest held value of far too many organizations and suggest practical ways that organizations, their leaders, their members, and their boards can achieve openness. After years of dedicating themselves to research and theory, at first separately, and now jointly, these three leadership giants reveal the multifaceted importance of candor and show what promotes transparency and what hinders it. They describe how leaders often stymie the flow of information and the structural impediments that keep information from getting where it needs to go. This vital resource is written for any organization–business, government, and nonprofit–that must achieve a culture of candor, truth, and transparency.

Download or read book The Little Big Things written by Thomas J. Peters and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2010-02-20 with total page 635 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times-Bestselling Author:No-nonsense, back-to-basics principles to achieve excellence every day from “the uber-guru of business” (The Economist). No matter the ups and downs of economic indicators or the whirlwinds of new technologies, the patented Tom Peters approach to business and management remains as effective as ever. As essential for freelancers and small-business owners as it is for the heads of major corporations, The Little Big Things is a rousing call-to-arms to American business to get back to the basics of running a successful enterprise. An avowed enemy of conformism and the status quo, Peters shaped the idea of modern management. In The Little Big Things, he offers 163 ways to excel at the “people side of business”—and reminds us that rather than thinking about Grand Outcomes, we need to focus on excelling today and every day, because it’s the small things that customers notice, it’s the small things that make a lasting impression, and it’s the small successes that lead to something big. “The father of the post-modern corporation.” —Los Angeles Times “It is [Tom] Peters—as consultant, writer, columnist, seminar lecturer, and stage performer—whose energy, style, influence, and ideas have [most] shaped new management thinking.” —Movers and Shakers: The 100 Most Influential Figures in Modern Business “Buy this book.” —Stephen R. Covey

Download or read book Public Sentinel written by Pippa Norris and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2009-11-19 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the ideal roles the mass media should play as an institution to strengthen democratic governance and thus bolster human development? Under what conditions do media systems succeed or fail to meet these objectives? And what strategic reforms would close the gap between the democratic promise and performance of media systems? Working within the notion of the democratic public sphere, 'Public Sentinel: News Media and Governance Reform' emphasizes the institutional or collective roles of the news media as watchdogs over the powerful, as agenda setters calling attention to social needs in natural and human-caused disasters and humanitarian crises, and as gatekeepers incorporating a diverse and balanced range of political perspectives and social actors. Each is vital to making democratic governance work in an effective, transparent, inclusive, and accountable manner. The capacity of media systems and thus individual reporters embedded within those institutions to fulfill these roles is constrained by the broader context of the journalistic profession, the market, and ultimately the state. Successive chapters apply these arguments to countries and regions worldwide. This study brought together a wide range of international experts under the auspices of the Communication for Governance and Accountability Program (CommGAP) at the World Bank and the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University. The book is designed for policy makers and media professionals working within the international development community, national governments, and grassroots organizations, and for journalists, democratic activists, and scholars engaged in understanding mass communications, democratic governance, and development.
