Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las mujeres han sido líderes siempre, con estilos auténticos, humanitarios, adaptativos. Sin embargo, estos liderazgos generalmente se han aplicado al mundo privado donde se desenvolvían antes. El mundo cambió, las mujeres en su gran mayoría han abandonado sus espacios privados y se desempeñan ahora masivamente en el ámbito público donde sus habilidades y destrezas serán útiles en este siglo y para este nuevo mundo. Pero este liderazgo de las mujeres necesita ser más visible, valorado, reforzado, y combinarse con otros estilos para ser más efectivos. Solo deben escudriñar en su interior para detectar los mecanismos que les impiden ver sus propias capacidades, y vencer sus auto limitaciones, de cara a la creación de una sociedad que traiga bienestar a mujeres y hombres por igual. Este libro ofrece claves basadas en algunas corrientes y teorías del siglo XX que tienen plena vigencia en este siglo XXI: Liderazgo transformador; liderazgo adaptativo; liderazgo global; liderazgo diverso e inclusivo. Con base en la historia personal y profesional de la autora, Fabiola Amariles Erazo, y en los múltiples talleres y seminarios para mujeres líderes que ella ha dado en diversos entornos culturales, en este libro ella nos presenta algunos conceptos sobre el poder y el éxito en un mundo competitivo, desde la perspectiva de las mujeres, y nos comparte un método práctico y eficaz que te ayudará a precisar mejor tu sueño o, en otras palabras, tu visión de la mujer líder que deseas ser; además de los pasos que se requieren para alcanzar esa visión. Para ese fin nos transmite cinco claves que ayudarán a las mujeres líderes de hoy a avanzar en sus metas profesionales y personales con seguridad y éxito. Para cada una de ellas, se presentan las competencias que será necesario desarrollar a fin de potenciar un liderazgo autónomo y eficaz. El eje central lo constituye la comunicación asertiva, entendida como la capacidad de comunicar y defender los derechos propios y los de los demás de manera adecuada. Con conceptos y técnicas que te ayudarán a auto examinar tus habilidades de comunicación y las creencias y patrones que pueden estar limitando tu progreso, potenciarás tus capacidades para una óptima comunicación y efectividad en tus diferentes relaciones y entornos en los que te desenvuelves. También aborda las diferencias de género en la comunicación no verbal en el ámbito laboral y empresarial, y nos da algunas pautas para vencer los retos que enfrentan las mujeres en el desarrollo de sus carreras laborales. La negociación efectiva, en especial la negociación de salarios con buenos resultados es también parte de las pautas que brinda el libro, al igual que los caminos para vencer el síndrome de la impostora, un fenómeno psicológico que afecta en mayor medida a las mujeres. La autora trata también el tema de la gestión adecuada de la diversidad como factor de éxito en las organizaciones, con pautas para un liderazgo intercultural eficaz. Hombres y mujeres pueden aprender mutuamente de sus respectivas formas de liderazgo. A ellos, a los hombres líderes, también van dirigidas las reflexiones y consejos que se presentan en este libro.

Book Mujer y Liderazgo

Download or read book Mujer y Liderazgo written by Patricia Debeljuh and published by Accion Empresarial. This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El liderazgo femenino es uno de los grandes temas sociales de nuestro tiempo. Una cuestión que nos afecta a todos en lo personal, familiar y social; en el hogar y en la oficina. Que permanece como desafío para las mujeres y los hombres de hoy, y de la cual no podemos escapar. Ha sido abordado desde todos los ángulos y es un asunto recurrente desde las charlas de café hasta los congresos, desde los medios hasta la academia. Sin embargo, ningún análisis ha tenido el rigor de Mujer y liderazgo, una visión de las mujeres con poder en España y América Latina, en el marco de los diversos ámbitos en los que se desenvuelven. Este libro propone que desarrollo, madurez, emancipación de la mujer, no deben significar uniformidad con el hombre, una imitación del modo varonil de actuar. Demuestra que eso no sería un logro, sino una pérdida para la mujer, no porque sea más o menos que el hombre, sino porque su aportación a la familia, la empresa y la política es singular y necesaria, como comenta Alfonso Bolio en el prólogo. Mujer y liderazgo habla de la complementariedad sinérgica de los sexos y explica la tergiversación que imponen las ideologías de género. Las familias, las empresas y la sociedad tienen que valorar el aporte específico que puede hacer la mujer. Ella cuenta con el talento innato para hacer crecer a las personas y su capacidad para el servicio, la creatividad y la flexibilidad no conoce límites. Se ha demostrado que en muchas empresas la mujer ha sido la verdadera agente de cambio, ha roto esquemas rígidos y abierto la puerta a una mejor calidad de vida, también de los varones, quienes han aprendido a tener un equilibrio entre su vida laboral y personal. Hoy, la tecnología facilita esta flexibilidad que hace unos años era impensable; si no se resolvían los asuntos en la oficina se quedaban pendientes. Ahora, los instrumentos de trabajo permiten, por ejemplo, que la mujer esté menos horas en la oficina, tenga tiempo de atender a su familia y, después, continuar con el trabajo desde casa. Desgraciadamente, algunos ejecutivos todavía son muy rígidos por el miedo al cambio y porque el éxito en el pasado los avala. En este libro se plantean diferentes ejemplos de éxito de mujeres que compaginan los diferentes ámbitos de su vida sin menoscabo de alguno.

Book My Time to Speak

Download or read book My Time to Speak written by Ilia Calderón and published by Atria Books. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inspiring, timely, and conversation-starting memoir from the barrier-breaking and Emmy Award–winning journalist Ilia Calderón—the first Afro-Latina to anchor a high-profile newscast for a major Hispanic broadcast network in the United States—about following your dreams, overcoming prejudice, and embracing your identity. As a child, Ilia Calderón felt like a typical girl from Colombia. In Chocó, the Afro-Latino province where she grew up, your skin could be any shade and you’d still be considered blood. Race was a non-issue, and Ilia didn’t think much about it—until she left her community to attend high school and college in Medellín. For the first time, she became familiar with horrifying racial slurs thrown at her both inside and outside of the classroom. From that point on, she resolved to become “deaf” to racism, determined to overcome it in every way she could, even when she was told time and time again that prominent castings weren’t “for people like you.” When a twist of fate presented her the opportunity of a lifetime at Telemundo in Miami, she was excited to start a new life, and identity, in the United States, where racial boundaries, she believed, had long since dissolved and equality was the rule. Instead, in her new life as an American, she faced a new type of racial discrimination, as an immigrant women of color speaking to the increasingly marginalized Latinx community in Spanish. Now, Ilia draws back the curtain on the ups and downs of her remarkable life and career. From personal inner struggles to professional issues—such as being directly threatened by a Ku Klux Klan member after an interview—she discusses how she built a new identity in the United States in the midst of racially charged violence and political polarization. Along the way, she’ll show how she’s overcome fear and confronted hate head on, and the inspirational philosophy that has always propelled her forward.

Book Women Presidents of Latin America

Download or read book Women Presidents of Latin America written by Farida Jalalzai and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-20 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women are gaining ground as presidents of Latin America. Women leaders in presidential systems (particularly women directly elected by the public) were generally limited to daughters and wives of male executives or opposition leaders. With the election of Michelle Bachelet in Chile, these traditional patterns appeared to be shifting. This book asks: what conditions allowed for a broadening of routes, beyond family ties, for women in Latin America? Do women presidents of Latin America use their powers to enhance women’s representation? While providing valuable insight into the big picture of women in presidential politics throughout Latin America over the last several decades, this book more closely analyzes four women presidents gaining office since 2006: Michelle Bachelet (Chile) Cristina Fernández (Argentina) Laura Chinchilla (Costa Rica) and Dilma Rousseff (Brazil). It assesses the paths and impacts of Latin American women presidents and scrutinizes the ways gender shapes both aspects. No other scholar has offered such an in-depth analysis of the paths and actions of women presidents of Latin America. As such, this book offers important contributions to the gender in politics literature. Its multi-methodological approach consisting of original data collection from field work and in person interviews of political elites and experts combined with an analysis of a host of secondary sources including media articles and public opinion data makes this work exceptionally comprehensive. Its findings are applicable to those studying women, gender, and politics as well as comparative politics, Latin American politics, and leadership studies.

Book Gender and Climate Change  An Introduction

Download or read book Gender and Climate Change An Introduction written by Irene Dankelman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although climate change affects everybody it is not gender neutral. It has significant social impacts and magnifies existing inequalities such as the disparity between women and men in their vulnerability and ability to cope with this global phenomenon. This new textbook, edited by one of the authors of the seminal Women and the Environment in the Third World: Alliance for the Future (1988) which first exposed the links between environmental degradation and unequal impacts on women, provides a comprehensive introduction to gender aspects of climate change. Over 35 authors have contributed to the book. It starts with a short history of the thinking and practice around gender and sustainable development over the past decades. Next it provides a theoretical framework for analyzing climate change manifestations and policies from the perspective of gender and human security. Drawing on new research, the actual and potential effects of climate change on gender equality and women's vulnerabilities are examined, both in rural and urban contexts. This is illustrated with a rich range of case studies from all over the world and valuable lessons are drawn from these real experiences. Too often women are primarily seen as victims of climate change, and their positive roles as agents of change and contributors to livelihood strategies are neglected. The book disputes this characterization and provides many examples of how women around the world organize and build resilience and adapt to climate change and the role they are playing in climate change mitigation. The final section looks at how far gender mainstreaming in climate mitigation and adaptation has advanced, the policy frameworks in place and how we can move from policy to effective action. Accompanied by a wide range of references and key resources, this book provides students and professionals with an essential, comprehensive introduction to the gender aspects of climate change.

Download or read book Iodine Deficiency in Europe written by F. Delange and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The disorders induced by iodine deficiency affect at least one billion people. Because ofits effects on brain development, iodinedeficiency is the single most preventable cause of mental retardation in the world. Therefore, the United Nations and the Heads of State of almost all the world's countries represented at the Summit for Children in 1990 adopted resolutions to eradicate the disorders induced by iodine deficiency (IDD) by the year 2000. For geological and socio-economic reasons, most of the populations affected by iodine deficiency disorders live in isolated and usually mountainous areas, in pre industrialized parts ofthe world. The problem of iodine deficiency in Europe has been greatly underestimated in the last decades. After the remarkable studies on the effects of iodine deficiency and their prevention and correction in Switzerland, IDD was generally considered no longer a significant public health problem in Europe. However, surveys carried out in the early 1980's under the auspices of the European Thyroid Association, clearly demonstrated the persistence of moderately or even severely affected areas. These surveys also highlighted the lack ofinformation about large parts ofEurope, especially its eastern part. It is only quite recently, following major changes in international relations and thanks to the support of UNICEF, WHO, the International Council for the Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders and the European Thyroid Association, that more extensive surveys have been conducted in several parts of Europe hitherto almost unexplored. These surveys showed that most European countries were iodine deficient.

Book The New Ideal Worker

Download or read book The New Ideal Worker written by Mireia las Heras Maestro and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-29 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many managers and organizations still assume that employees who devote long hours to their jobs with no family interference are “ideal workers”. However, this assumption has negative consequences for employees, their families and, more interestingly, for their organizations. This book provides a wealth of empirical evidence from around the globe, as well as innovative conceptual frameworks, to help practitioners and researchers alike to go beyond the classic notion of the “ideal worker” and to rethink what companies actually need from their employees. As it demonstrates, doing so will be beneficial for countless men and women, and for society at large.

Book Women in Management Worldwide

Download or read book Women in Management Worldwide written by Ronald J Burke and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Excellent', 'Outstanding' and 'Inspirational' were words used to describe the highly acclaimed and award winning first edition of Women in Management Worldwide. Edited by two of the world's most eminent researchers into the role of women in work and management, their findings from around the world confirmed that the glass ceiling was still firmly in place, and there were few women directors or CEOs of large corporations, indeed few in any posts at the top level of private sector organizations. For the second edition of Women in Management Worldwide: Progress and Prospects, Professors Davidson and Burke have assembled over 30 experts replete with facts, figures and analysis, to ensure this expanded and updated edition provides a genuinely cross-cultural global assessment of women in management. This important book examines what has and has not changed, and provides evidence that an understanding of the values, norms and cultural issues bearing on the progress or otherwise of women in organizations is becoming ever more necessary. There is a looming crisis in organizational leadership, with demographic factors and globalization leading to an international talent war. Against that background, continuing bias against women seeking leadership responsibilities means organizations are failing to develop available talent, and when corporations experience economic difficulties the consequences bear disproportionately on women managers. With findings from a broader and more representative range of countries, the editors have arranged this second edition country by country to enable comparisons of the data both between countries and regions and between past, present, and likely futures. Researchers, policy makers, legislators and officials needing an understanding of women's status and progress, as well as those teaching or studying international, cross-cultural and human resources management will need to read this book.

This is where the Ocean Challenge Badge comes in: let it take you on a journey to discover the ocean! It is packed with activities to help you learn about how the ocean works, the creatures that live in it, and just how important it is in our everyday lives.
