Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, multi-source feedback (MSF) has emerged as a popular performance appraisal method. This method promises performance evaluation data that is less biased, more reliable, and more valid than the traditional supervisor-only appraisal method. However, given that it is common practice in a MSF process for ratees to select the raters of their performance, the method may actually be introducing new biases. Given this, the current study employed a web-based survey to assess the effects that an individual's level of organizational based self-esteem (OBSE) may have on rater selection. The hypothesis that individuals low in OBSE would be more likely that individuals high in OBSE to select raters that were perceived as being good friends was supported by some of the analyses. In addition, the hypothesis that individuals high in OBSE would be more likely than individuals low in OBSE to choose raters that were perceived as being highly acquainted with their work was also supported by some of the analyses. The assumption behind these hypotheses is that choosing friends as raters will lead to positively enhanced and unrealistic assessments while choosing raters that are highly task acquainted will lead to accurate and thereby potentially negative assessments. While critical performance assessments may not be desired in the short-term, the long-term growth and developmental consequences are substantial. In addition, the possible effects that the rater source (peer/subordinate) and the purpose of the appraisal (administrative/developmental) may have on the process were also examined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership in today's organizations is a tough business. Organizational leaders face a number of challenges as their jobs, and the world around them, become increasingly complex. Trends, such as organizational "delayering," rapid technological advances, and increased employee empowerment require that leaders adapt their techniques and styles of leadership to meet these new challenges. Consequently, there has been an explosion of interest in leadership in recent years as researchers and management educators struggle to understand the process of leadership development, how it operates, and what characteristics make effective leaders. Born of these questions, the 11th Annual Kravis-de Roulet Leadership Conference at Claremont McKenna College brought together an impressive slate of scholars whose theories, research, and cutting-edge techniques are now gathered together in this impressive volume. Each chapter asks and answers questions about the current state of the field while providing future direction for research to help bridge the gap between leadership researchers and leadership development practitioners. Notable topics include chapters on "e-leadership" and leadership within the "virtual" organization, exploring 360-degree feedback, the importance of "social capital," and a comprehensive analysis of the well-researched theory of Leader Member Exchange.

Book excerpt: The psychiatric profession must ensure that its next generation of leaders has the appropriate skills to provide mental health services in the face of globalization and urbanization, new technologies, and competing demands for shrinking resources.

The aim is to guide mental health professionals in general and psychiatrists in particular on how to gain the relevant skills and on how to utilise these skills and training to take on leadership roles in clinical and organisational settings. The book covers the role of the leader and the skills required for leadership, including chapters on communication, decision-making, team development, mentoring, gender issues in leadership, burnout and more. It includes a section on assessment tools and learning material. Essential reading for all those who aspire to lead in psychiatry!
