Book excerpt: All of us conduct our day-to-day life under the influence offriends and foes, who are collectively called peers. Peers arepart of that pressure group from which one has no consciousescape. During our formative years we master two basictechniques of “appease” or “fight” in order to cope with peerpressure. However in adult life these two tools often don’t seeus through as life and relationships are always not dividedinto watertight compartments of black and white. To handleblack and white, grey as well as colourful aspects of peer grouppolitics, we need to sharpen our understanding of psychobehaviouralas well as power game aspects of peership.This calls for peer management skills.Keeping this perspective in mind, this book has beenwritten as a management supplement both for individuals aswell as for the organizations.In fact like HR management, peer management shouldbe made an integral part of management development studiesnot only as a tool for damage control but also as a tool forproper utilization of team spirit and synergy of peer groups atthe work place and in the societal context. Proficiency in peermanagement skills is a must for those who are in the field ofnetworking, communication, creativity, production,marketing, consultancy and politics.
Download or read book Peer to Peer Leadership written by Mila Baker and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2014-01-06 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our leadership models are stuck in an Industrial Age, top-down mentality. But in our complex, data-drenched, 24/7 world, there is simply too much information coming from too many different directions too quickly for any one leader or group to stay on top of it. Hierarchy is breaking down everywhere—why should leadership be any different? Inspired by the peer-to-peer model of computing used in social networking and crowdsource technologies, Mila Baker shows a new way to lead. Organizations, she says, must become networks of "equipotent" nodes of power—peer leaders. The job of the leader is now to set the overall goals and direction and optimize the health of that network, not tell it what to do. In these organizations, leadership roles shift rapidly to fit the needs of any given situation. Information flows freely so those who need it can find it easily and act on it immediately. Feedback becomes an organic part of the workflow, enabling rapid course corrections. Baker shows how companies like Gore and Herman Miller have achieved long-term success practicing these principles and provides a structure that any organization can adapt to build flexibility, resiliency, and accountability.

Download or read book Family and Peers written by Angela M. Neal-Barnett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-04-30 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is it that relationships with family members predict the quality of children's relationships outside the family? A wealth of research has documented that various aspects of family relationships are predictably related to the quality of children's interactions and relationships with peers. Understanding what account for these effects is important both for theories of children's relationships and intervention efforts to ameliorate children's peer relationship difficulties. This volume advances the field by discussing several mechanisms that may account for continuities across family and peer relationships. A variety of theoretical perspectives are represented in the book. For example, both learning and biological explanations are considered. Authors also note two key considerations in investigating family and peer relationships. First, it is necessary to consider the cultural context. The function and meaning of family and peer relationships may differ depending on what roles are played by these relationships in different cultural contexts. Second, it is necessary to consider the child's age. Developmental issues, such as concerns with establishing greater independence at the entrance to adolescence, will impact both family and peer relationships.
Download or read book Handbook of Behavioral Interventions in Schools written by Keith C. Radley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tasked chiefly with providing effective instruction, classroom teachers must also manage student behavior. Prevalence of student problem behavior is a strong indicator of failing schools, and has been linked to reduced academic achievement, truancy, bullying, and loss of teacher time. As such demand is on the rise for intervention programs that may effectively reduce levels of problem behavior in schools. Handbook of Behavioral Interventions in Schools is a comprehensive collection of evidence-based strategies for addressing student behavior in the classroom and other school settings. Experts in the fields of special education and school psychology provide practical guidance on over twenty behavior interventions that can be used to promote appropriate student behavior. Framed within a multi-tiered system of support, a framework representing one of the predominant service delivery models in schools, interventions are categorized as Tier I, Tier II, or Tier III, and chapters provide insight into how students might be placed in and moved through respective levels of service intensity. Each chapter details a specific intervention strategy, and includes reproducible materials to facilitate use of the intervention, case studies, and further reading for school-based practitioners. Introductory chapters on behavior analysis, multi-tiered systems of support, and law and ethics place the practical guides in a context that is relevant for school-based practice. Walking readers through the entire process of assessment of problem behaviors to intervention and progress monitoring, Handbook of Behavioral Interventions in Schools is an invaluable resource for special education teachers, school psychologists, and trainees in these fields.
