Download or read book Choosing to Lead written by Harvey Kanter and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-26 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With hundreds of books available on the topic of leadership, why read another one? For those with the aspiration to become the best leader they can be, you will find this book rich with meaning. Written not as a memoir or biography, but rather a collection of thoughts and experiences, Choosing to Lead is the journaled expedition of Harvey Kanter's pursuit to lead and create meaning. He offers an authentic glimpse into his development as an executive leader and offers an insightful, transparent, and often humorous reflection of his personal leadership journey and the lessons he has learned.Find out why so many CEOs were willing to lend their endorsement to Choosing to Lead. Harvey Kanter has experienced many diverse leadership styles and approaches during his long career serving dynamic, innovative, experiential companies. In Choosing to Lead, Harvey draws from these rich experiences spanning his most recent role as CEO of Destination XL Group, through his tenure as CEO of Blue Nile(R), CEO of Moosejaw(R), Executive Vice President and Chief Merchandising Officer for Michaels(R), and as President of Aaron Brothers(R) Art & Framing. He is forthright about his earlier years spent as part of the senior leadership team of learning the retail ropes for eight years at Carter Hawley Hale, all the way back to his college internship working for Target(R) Stores.Armed with insatiable curiosity, optimism, tenacity, and an appetite for adventure, Harvey has navigated many challenges-including a battle with cancer. During his time with Eddie Bauer(R), he was given the incredible opportunity to attend Seattle University's Center for Leadership-attending this university's graduate program made for an unlikely match but was an immensely powerful experience. While there, Harvey's definition for accomplishment was turned upside down, and his perspective of leadership forever changed. He has come to see that the function of a leader is to guide and counsel, to instill confidence and enthusiasm, to create momentum and inspiration for others in their desire to be the best-not your definition of best, but theirs-they can be.This is not meant to be a "How To" book to follow, but more a reflection of "How I Have" and the insights gained along the way. In his constant dedication to improvement, Harvey has enjoyed the rich benefits of that intentional development in his career, his marriage and family life, through meaningful relationships, and in serving his community. Choosing to Lead chronicles areas which Harvey has explored in-depth as he candidly shares what he has learned about SETBACKS, COMMUNICATION, OPTIMISM, VALUES, RE-FRAMING, ACCOMPLISHMENT, CURIOSITY, HUMILITY, TENACITY, DIVERSITY, ADVENTURE, DECISIVENESS, TEAMWORK, and LEGACY.

Download or read book Affirmative Action and Black Student Success written by David J. Luke and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David J. Luke’s Affirmative Action and Black Student Success is a concrete and comprehensive exploration into diversity programs on college campuses and their impact on Black student success and outcomes. Viewed over the span of 12 years, three large, public universities in the United States and Canada provide dynamic settings for this book’s comparative focus on diversity initiatives. The author identifies key regional and national differences between these settings, as well as differences in the way diversity is framed and understood to illustrate how diversity programs and policies are shaped and the extent and ways in which these programs and policies then shape student experiences and outcomes. The values and meanings organizations ascribe to diversity, inclusion, and equity are frequently in transition, and the book’s compelling analysis conveys the importance of race in these contexts—when racism is presumed to be in decline, as is the case in colorblindness and demonstrations of multiculturalist ideals, racial inequalities are concealed and remain unnoticed. The author makes a range of practical recommendations and argues that clear and explicit goals about race and representation are integral in the expansion and preservation of inclusive institutional environments. Unflinching in its critique and pragmatic with its recommendations, this book offers invaluable analysis for university leaders, diversity officers, and student affairs professionals, as much as it provides new insights for scholars and educators of racism, higher education, diversity, and organizational culture.

Download or read book Sociology of Work written by Vicki Smith and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2013-05-16 with total page 1183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The simple act of going to work every day is an integral part of all societies across the globe. It is an ingrained social contract: we all work to survive. But it goes beyond physical survival. Psychologists have equated losing a job with the trauma of divorce or a family death, and enormous issues arise, from financial panic to sinking self-esteem. Through work, we build our self-identity, our lifestyle, and our aspirations. How did it come about that work dominates so many parts of our lives and our psyche? This multi-disciplinary encyclopedia covers curricular subjects that seek to address that question, ranging from business and management to anthropology, sociology, social history, psychology, politics, economics, and health. Features & Benefits: International and comparative coverage. 335 signed entries, A-to-Z, fill 2 volumes in print and electronic formats.

Download or read book Identity Belonging and Migration written by Gerard Delanty and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2008-02-01 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses the question of migration in Europe. It is concerned with the extent to which racism and anti-immigration discourse has been to some extent normalised and ‘democratised’ in European and national political discourses. Mainstream political parties are espousing increasingly coercive policies and frequently attempting to legitimate such approaches via nationalist-populist slogans and coded forms of racism. Identity, Belonging and Migration shows that that liberalism is not enough to oppose the disparate and diffuse xenophobia and racism faced by many migrants today and calls for new conceptions of anti-racism within and beyond the state. The book is divided into three parts and organised around a theoretical framework for understanding migration, belonging, and exclusion, which is subsequently developed through discussions of state and structural discrimination as well as a series of thematic case studies. In drawing on a range of rich and original data, this timely volume makes an important contribution to discussions on migration in Europe.

This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Job search is and always has been an integral part of people's working lives. Whether one is brand new to the labor market or considered a mature, experienced worker, job seekers are regularly met with new challenges in a variety of organizational settings. Edited by Ute-Christine Klehe and Edwin A.J. van Hooft, The Oxford Handbook of Job Loss and Job Search provides readers with one of the first comprehensive overviews of the latest research and empirical knowledge in the areas of job loss and job search. Multidisciplinary in nature, Klehe, van Hooft, and their contributing authors offer fascinating insight into the diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives from which job loss and job search have been studied, such as psychology, sociology, labor studies, and economics. Discussing the antecedents and consequences of job loss, as well as outside circumstances that may necessitate a more rigorous job hunt, this Handbook presents in-depth and up-to-date knowledge on the methods and processes of this important time in one's life. Further, it examines the unique circumstances faced by different populations during their job search, such as those working job-to-job, the unemployed, mature job seekers, international job seekers, and temporary employed workers. Job loss and unemployment are among the worst stressors individuals can encounter during their lifetimes. As a result, this Handbook concludes with a discussion of the various types of interventions developed to aid the unemployed. Further, it offers readers important insights and identifies best practices for both scholars and practitioners working in the areas of job loss, unemployment, career transitions, outplacement, and job search.
