Book excerpt: What do you do when it’s time to get off the fence? One of the world’s most noted leadership experts, Michael Useem uses dramatic storytelling to show how to master the art and science of being decisive. He places you smack in the middle of people who faced their go point, when actions–or lack of them–determined the fates of individuals, companies, and countries. • Why on earth did Robert E. Lee send General George Pickett on an almost suicidal charge against the Union lines at Gettysburg? • How does the leader of a firefighting crew make life-or-death decisions when one direction means safety, the other danger? • You’ve just assumed responsibility for a scandal-wracked corporation, a company teetering on the brink of disaster. What you decide over the course of the next several days will have consequences for thousands of employees and investors. How do you fulfill your responsibilities? You’ll discover why some decisions were flawless, perfectly on target, and others utterly disastrous. Most of all, you’ll learn how to make the right calls yourself, whether you’re changing your career, launching a product, or deciding on a potential acquisition or merger.

Download or read book Innovations in Software Engineering for Defense Systems written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-10-22 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent rough estimates are that the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) spends at least $38 billion a year on the research, development, testing, and evaluation of new defense systems; approximately 40 percent of that cost-at least $16 billion-is spent on software development and testing. There is widespread understanding within DoD that the effectiveness of software-intensive defense systems is often hampered by low-quality software as well as increased costs and late delivery of software components. Given the costs involved, even relatively incremental improvements to the software development process for defense systems could represent a large savings in funds. And given the importance of producing defense software that will carry out its intended function, relatively small improvements to the quality of defense software systems would be extremely important to identify. DoD software engineers and test and evaluation officials may not be fully aware of a range of available techniques, because of both the recent development of these techniques and their origination from an orientation somewhat removed from software engineering, i.e., from a statistical perspective. The panel's charge therefore was to convene a workshop to identify statistical software engineering techniques that could have applicability to DoD systems in development.

Book excerpt: The Ministry of Defense is a practical thorough guide to security in the house of God. Current affairs show an increase of violence against churches and those serving the Lord.

In this book, security expert and martial arts champion Pablo Birriel teaches a number of principles, tips and techniques on how to effectively protect your ministry, members and leaders from: Hecklers & Nuisances Vandalism Theft Armed Attackers Arson Drug Trafficking Violent Behavior on Church Grounds Explosives Assassination and more...Security operatives will also learn how best to handle: Fire Emergencies Medical Emergencies Gang ActivityBirriel trains from the perspective that anything you do reflects on the ministry and ultimately Christ. This perspectiveallows the security operative to effectively fulfill his purpose while still bringing honor to God and souls to Christ.
Download or read book Coaching Roi Delivering Strategic Value Employing Executive Coaching in Defense Acquisition written by Alphronzo Moseley and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-10-13 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alphronzo Moseleys Doctor of Strategic Leadership final project forms the basis for this relevant book, Coaching ROI: Delivering Strategic Value Employing Executive Coaching in Defense Acquisition. Clearly, Moseley has done a very good job of providing a new addition to Defense acquisition studies. Moseley is an executive coach through the Cambridge Group Worldwide, Boston, MA. His research is one taken at Regent University for the purpose of enhancing leadership development among executive acquisition managers to provide a global learning environment to support a mission-ready defense acquisition workforce that develops, delivers, and sustains effective and affordable war-fighting capabilities. The progress for Moseley and his colleagues as executive coaches at DAU is measured according to how well the defense acquisition workforce does its mission. Since the executive coaching initiative is the first of its kind at the university, a level 5 evaluation - the fifth level of evaluating coaching measured by a return on investment (ROI) - would provide a deeper understanding of the sources of business value and especially how coaching creates monetary value in Defense acquisition. The results indicated that the executive coaching program delivered strategic value represented by a conservative ROI of 1,066 percent. Similarly, the coachees and their organizations experienced six business results: increased customer satisfaction, increased resources, increased work-group productivity, reduced cycle time, increased organizational efficiency, and increased personal productivity.

Download or read book Executive Defense written by Michael Useem and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A quiet revolution came to corporate America during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Large shareholders - pension funds, insurance companies, money managers, and commercial banks - exercised new-found muscle, pressuring senior managers to improve disappointing financial results by reshaping their organizations. Michael Useem reveals how those investor pressures have transformed the inside structures of many corporations, better aligning them with shareholder interests. Useem draws on numerous sources, including interviews with senior managers and intensive studies of seven large corporations representing a range of restructuring experiences and industries - including pharmaceuticals, transportation, chemicals, retailing, and financial services. He shows that organizational changes have affected many areas of corporate life: headquarters staffs have been reduced, authority has filtered down to operating units, and compensation has become more closely tied to performance. Change also extends to corporate governance, where managers have fought back by seeking legal safeguards against takeovers and by staggering board terms. They've also put significant resources into building more effective relations with shareholders. As Useem demonstrates, this revolution has reached beyond the corporation, influencing American politics and law. As increasing ownership concentration has caused companies to focus more attention on shareholders, corporate political agendas have shifted from fighting government regulation to resisting shareholder intrusion. This book will be important reading for managers, economists, lawyers, financial analysts, and all observers of American business.

This book was released on 1964 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 17 January 1962, Executive Order 10988 (Employee-Management Cooperation in the Federal Service) ushered the Federal manager (both military and civilian) into a new era of employee-management relations. The unknown impact of the Order and its many possible implications within DOD had led to the development of a multiple measuring method (interview, questionnaire, statistical records, content analysis, and tabulation of critical incidents), to determine how management and 'unions' have been effected by this Order. All of the military services and the employee organizations dealing with DOD activities were surveyed at the Washington level, and also a questionnaire was sent to a random group of 110 military activities and their corresponding 'union' locals. Reliability and validity were established at .87+ and .74+ respectively. The final results were plotted on an ordinal bipolar scale with a positive correlation of .405. (Author).
