Download or read book Living in Company Reflections on Life in the Corporate World written by Nigel Buxton and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living in Company is a book designed for reflection - self-inquiry - finding personal answers. The chapters are short and designed to be read one at a time: read and reflect. The book is an invitation to try new perspectives: it is for individuals who want to explore, "There must be more to life" - one's spirituality. Living in Company explores the duality of values that we apply at work and in the rest of our lives, and looks at dissolving the duality "My Work" and the rest of "My Life". Living in Company looks at: what effect attitudes and beliefs have on our lives - what kinds of leaders there are - how do we feel about change and comfort, and what is the connection between them - what do teams and tourists have in common - "Corporate gardening"! - what is the real nature of power - pre-bundled human software: the operating system exposed - what makes us tick - and much more. The company is seen as an organic entity - a group of individuals working together, so the more the individuals are aligned with their values and goals, and the more they share themselves: then the better the company will perform, and the better place it will be to work/live in. Living in Company contemplates many topics that are already familiar to those working in the corporate world. The ideas set out are not designed to persuade or convey a new "truth", but rather to stimulate reader reflection - to help listen how it is for you - to provoke the sharing of "how it is for me" - to create more alignment about values. Living in Company proposes to the leaders of companies that the only real way to have better results than competitors is through having the members of the company contribute more (not working harder - but doing more with less). The more the individual feels at ease with himself, the more he is available to contribute to the company. This book is intended for individuals interested in: self-help - personal transformation - spirituality. This book is intended for use in companies for: training - human resources and personnel management - organizational learning - coaching Visit the author's own website at www.nigelbuxton.com

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column.

Download or read book The Role of Reflection in Managerial Learning written by Marilyn W. Daudelin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1999-09-30 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging work experiences are the richest source of learning for today's managers. Yet lessons embedded in these experiences are not always obvious. This comprehensive book describes a critical yet under-researched element of how managers learn from these experiences: reflection. Today's workplace demands continual learning, which in turn requires reflection. While this book supports the prevailing view that reflection is central to experiential learning, it challenges the traditional views that it is the same as contemplation, that it is incompatible with management, and that it is time-consuming and unnatural for managers. Original quantitative and qualitative research reported in this book indicates that two different yet complementary modes of managerial reflection exist: active and proactive. Active reflection is something that managers naturally engage in during challenging job experiences, whereas managers must be prompted to engage in proactive reflection. Both modes involve processes of intentional inquiry. Different forces are necessary to stimulate each type of reflection. Based on these findings, the claim is made that the potential to learn from experience is greatest when managers intentionally engage in both modes. Accordingly, a holistic model that integrates active and proactive reflection is presented. This model has important implications for theorists and researchers of managerial learning by identifying previously unreported aspects of reflection. It is also relevant to practitioners and companies who desire to enhance what their managers learn from their workplace experience.

Download or read book Stolen Family written by Johanne Durocher and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2023-08-01 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johanne Durocher fights to free her daughter and four grandchildren from a nightmarish life of abuse and poverty in Saudi Arabia. In 2001, Nathalie Morin was just seventeen when she met Saeed, a Saudi man who claimed to be studying in Montreal. She fell in love with him, but soon after she gave birth to their son, Saeed was deported back to his country of origin. Struggling as a single mother and wanting Samir to know his father, Nathalie travelled to Saudi Arabia to reunite her family, confident that she would be able to return to Canada whenever she wanted. But a trap was closing around her — her partner turned out to be authoritarian and violent, the abuse continuing until their last child was born. According to Saudi law, Nathalie was considered married and under Saeed’s legal authority. All too often she was shut away in her own house, a place of hellish poverty. In 2005, Johanne Durocher, Nathalie’s mother, began her decades-long struggle to get Nathalie back home to Canada with her four children: Samir, Abdullah, Sarah, and Fowaz. While Nathalie is allowed to return on her own, her children cannot leave because of a travel ban imposed by the Saudi government. And Nathalie will not leave without them. Johanne’s relentless fight for her family has garnered the support of several members of the provincial and federal governments, activists, and NGOs, including Amnesty International, who considers Nathalie to be a survivor of gender-based violence.

Book excerpt: `The authors bring a spark of vitality and life to an area that could be cynically viewed as a series of conflicting fads and fashions....I would recommend anyone in the process of reviewing or designing an entrepreneurship development course to consider the benefits that this book would bring to the teaching process′ - Entrepreneurship and Innovation `Using fiction in the classroom as an approach to stimulating the study of people in organizations is well-established. What this book contributes is a way of exploring some of the existential elements of life in organizations, which are typically difficult to study. It will be on my reading lists.

The student is introduced to a range of key themes in management such as: power and identity; consumption and bureaucracy; rational choice and meaning all through the medium of characters and situations in contemporary literature.
