Download or read book Compass Your Guide for Leadership Development and Coaching written by Pete Scisco and published by Center for Creative Leadership. This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Review Package for the book, Compass: Your Guide for Leadership Development and Coaching) Continuing research from the Center for Creative Leadership reports what kind of actions contribute to effective leadership—the kind of leadership that generates an inclusive process among managers, peers, employees, and senior leaders, and is marked by direction, alignment, and commitment. Guiding a team or an entire organization toward these outcomes requires competency—an interrelated set of knowledge, skills, and perspectives that address predictable and unpredictable situations. This book is for leaders and managers looking to develop competency in themselves and others. It is also for training and development professionals, either inside companies or working as independent consultants, who can use the book as a coaching tool and as a blueprint for leader development plans. For anyone concerned with his or her development as a leader, dedicated to developing their people for more responsibility, and committed to organizational sustainability, this book can be a valuable tool. This book distills the characteristics, actions, and perspectives at the heart of creative leadership. Its developmental opportunities and coaching tactics support a single purpose: to help you—and the people you develop—become what is needed in any circumstance to galvanize teams, groups, and organizations and help people move toward a thriving future. Achieving competency isn’t a check mark on a list. It’s a step toward creative leadership—leadership capable of adapting, inventing, and renewing itself amid the uncertainty, volatility, and ambiguity of a continually changing world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From artist to curator, couturier to fashion blogger, 'creative' professional identities can be viewed as social practices, enacted, performed and negotiated through the media, the public, and industry. Fashioning Professionals addresses what it means to be a creative professional, historically and in the digital age, as new ways of working and doing business have given rise to new professional identities. Bringing together critical reflections from international researchers, the book spans fashion, design, art, architecture, and advertising. It examines both traditional and emergent roles in creative industries, from advertising executives and surrealist artists to mannequin designers, pop stylists, bloggers, makers and design curators. The book reveals how professional identities are continually in a state of fashioning, through style, taste, gender and cultural representation, highlighting moments of friction and flux in the creative labour of the global economy. Interweaving critical perspectives from fashion and design history with sociology and cultural theory, Fashioning Professionals addresses a burgeoning area of research as we enter new terrain in fashion and the creative industries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership, as a discipline, leadership education, as a field, and leadership educator, as a profession are still in their infancy and rapidly evolving. As professionals in higher education, we are constantly asked to provide opportunities for students to learn leadership, whether that is inside or outside of the classroom. However, very little, if any professional development occurs in how to create such learning opportunities. This book provides resources for leadership educators in three sections. The first section sets the stage for leadership education and the professional work of leadership educators, culminating with a variety of professional development resources for leadership educators. The second section introduces a leadership learning framework, provides characteristics and examples of strong leadership programs and assessment practices, and describes the transformative practice of leadership education. The third and final section offers specific instructional and assessment strategies ranging from discussion, case study, and reflection, to team-based- and service-learning to self-assessments, role-play, simulation, and games, to fulfill learning outcomes.
