Download or read book Leading for Learning written by Lisa J. Koss and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-10-08 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People do their best work when they are motivated. This may sound obvious, but while people managers instinctively agree with the centrality of motivation at work and its impact on employee engagement, their practices do not follow. With so much "real work" to do every day, how can managers also carve out time to learn, engage, build relationships, tap motivation, encourage development, and inspire? The problem is a false dichotomy between the world of business and that of people development. What if managers were able to systematically transform everyday business issues into meaningful, developmental coaching opportunities with employees at the same time? This proven coaching approach radically shifts conversations away from either-or propositions and uses an entirely different lens: transforming business challenges by connecting them directly to employee motivation to achieve the desired business result while dramatically increasing employee engagement. And all this comes none too soon as leaders must rethink the way they lead given the modern realities of organizational life. Among them: A rapidly changing workplace and increasing uncertainty that requires a fundamental shift in the leader’s approach, including the distribution of authority and the expectation that employees take responsibility for their own learning Pervasive and persistent employee disengagement, characterized by employees who no longer accept the organization’s priorities at the expense of their own, where organizations that continue to dictate terms will find ongoing challenges with costly employee turnover and lack of engagement During the past decade, the Developmental Coaching Model has been taught across the globe in nine languages and has been enthusiastically embraced by thousands of managers while dissolving the invisible barriers that block individual and organizational development and business success.

When Mersher and his team get help from a surprising source, the result is stunning and unexpected-and it's one that concerned Americans will certainly reflect upon for decades to come. The next LeaderShift is almost here. Are you ready?
Download or read book Open Boundaries written by Howard Sherman and published by Re-Emerge Book. This book was released on 2022-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since it was first published 25 years ago, Open Boundaries has been recognized as a seminal work in leading Enterprise Complexity. The process of interaction and emergence introduced in this book, exposes the myth that enterprise complexity can be managed. It cannot. But it can and must be led. Written by the late Howard Sherman and Ron Schultz, Open Boundaries emerged out of years of seminars held in Santa Fe, New Mexico. These workshops attracted businesses and enterprises from around the world grappling with rapid change. The pace of that change had unceremoniously propelled them out of the industrial age, through the information age, and into a post information age of new and previously unimagined opportunities that were always just one step away. Leading the way to these adjacent opportunities is why the ideas in Open Boundaries continue to create a new future. They are as needed today as they were when they first shattered enterprise thinking. There is a good reason it, as well as the other books in the Re-Emerge collection, are classics. They are not about control and order, but a means of understanding and meeting the complexity encountered and leading it to a new and vital future.

Download or read book A Matter of Style written by Matthew Clark and published by Don Mills, Ont. : Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good prose - fiction and non-fiction alike - is part mystery and part technique. Mystery cannot be taught, but technique can, and if it is well taught it can open a window onto the mystery. In andIA Matter of Style Matthew Clark draws on examples from real writers, past and present, to examine the stylistic techniques that lift written language from bare communication to art. Clark assumes that his readers know the basics of grammar and style. But everyone, even the best writers, canmake mistakes. Therefore he begins with a brief look at the problems such as ambiguous pronouns, dangling modifiers, and confusing word order before moving on to the fundamental subject of rhythm. Drawing on his training as a musician, he demonstrates how important it is to write for the ear as well as the eye. Many style books advocate a clear and simple style, but simplicity is not the only virtue. To show how effective - and varied - ornate style can be, Clark points to examples rangingfrom Dickens to Beckett. In the process he reveals how adeptly even an "anti-rhetorical" writer like Hemingway can use the techniques of classical rhetoric. He then examines in detail a number of the most useful figures in that tradition. In the following chapters Clark's perspective widens steadily as he moves from the basic principle of parallelism ( and antithesis ) to the complexity of the periodic sentence and on to the level of the paragraph and, finally, the conventions of plot structure in novels. Throughout, the approach is descriptive rather than prescriptive, and every point is generously illustrated with examples, good and bad, from writers that Clark respects and even loves. An invaluable resource for writers and editors at every level, from the novice to the professional, A Matter of Style will delight readers who want to know more about how the writers they love achieve their effects.
