Download or read book Intentional Power written by Lisen Stromberg and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intentional Power: The 6 Essential Leadership Skills for Triple Bottom Line Impact is THE playbook for modern leaders. Intentional Power: The 6 Essential Leadership Skills for Triple Bottom Line Impact explores how the transition from shareholder capitalism to stakeholder capitalism has created an urgent need for a new model of leadership; a model that enables leaders to navigate competing demands from both internal and external stakeholders including the most racially and age-diverse workforce in history, activist investors, purpose-driven customers, and global government regulators. Intentional Power argues persuasively for a more inclusive, comprehensive approach to leadership disrupting the conventional approach that has been taught for decades in business books, management courses, and by traditional leaders themselves. It is a guide for delivering triple bottom-line impact: enhancing profits, people, and the planet. Written by Lisen Stromberg, JeanAnn Nichols, and Corey Jones, three leadership experts who bring a wealth of experience from their decades of working within companies and alongside leaders as advisors, coaches, and corporate consultants, Intentional Power is a call to action for the next generation of leaders to move beyond an entirely individual focus toward a more sustainable approach to lead and succeed. Deeply researched, the authors draw on an extensive review of the latest literature and insights on leadership development, cognitive and positive psychology, organizational design, and performance management, as well as extensive interviews with leaders across several industries to highlight the most critical skills required by today's executives and managers. They offer a new model of leadership, the HEARTI® model, built on six core competencies: Humility, Empathy, Accountability, Resiliency, Transparency, and Inclusivity. These 6 leadership skills are essential for success in today's new world of work. You'll also find: A comprehensive, inclusive, and effective approach to leading organizations through the rest of the 21st century Examples from leaders across numerous industries who are driving impact for the teams, the companies, and the world at large Practical "How-To's" and actionable Leader Tool Kit activities to help you learn and apply the skills discussed in the book An essential and exciting new resource for next-generation and practicing leaders ready to create profitable companies full of meaning and purpose, Intentional Power is the hands-on leadership guide that founders, entrepreneurs, directors, executives, managers, and impact-driven employees everywhere have been waiting for.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the latest in decision-making tools, techniques, and solutions for policy makers to utilize in overcoming the challenges faced by healthcare systems. With contributions from experts world-wide, an array of healthcare management models, techniques, and integrative solutions are presented, drawing on econometric, system dynamics, and agent-based models as well as state-of-the-art empirical studies. As total healthcare spending (both total expenditures on health as a percentage of GDP and average spending on per capita) increases across most of the world’s economies, healthcare systems continue to face challenges in terms of cost, quality, and access, as a result of its fragmented nature. Consequently, healthcare managers and policy makers require innovative integrative approaches and solutions to better manage complex, dynamic healthcare systems. This volume offers researchers and policy makers an insightful and critical review of the state of the art in healthcare modeling, with a particular focus on system dynamics, agent-based models, and modern empirical studies. It will be of interest to those in the fields of health, business management, and information systems.
Download or read book Leading and Managing in the Social Sector written by S. Aqeel Tirmizi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-22 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores leadership and management in social sector organizations, which include, NGOs, non-profits, social enterprises, social businesses, and cross-sector collaborations focusing on advancing human dignity and social justice. It provides social sector leaders with an overview of current trends, issues, and challenges in the field as well as best practices to foster effective programs, sustain organizations and meet the growing demands of the sector. The enclosed chapters cover topics such as cross-sector organizational design, innovation for client services, gender management dynamics, policy advocacy, and the growing social entrepreneurship movement. The social sector is currently in a vibrant, dynamic, and exciting stage. The sector’s role and relevance to advancing human dignity and social justice is greater than ever. The number and types of social sector organizations have increased exponentially around the world and are offering extraordinary and much needed contributions toward an array of social issues. The traditional NGOs and non-profit organizations continue to be an integral part of the global civil society. At the same time, the emerging organizational forms under the social entrepreneurship umbrella are providing new momentum and excitement within and outside of the social sector. The interest in social entrepreneurship is encouraging existing social sector entities to actively embrace and encourage innovation. This interest is also inspiring a new breed of professionals and organizations to contribute to the social sector. This trend falls under the larger social sector dynamic promoting the creation of “hybrid” and emergent organizational forms, which cross and combine the traditional non-profit and for-profit domains. Despite the increased interest, the social sector still faces challenges around the world. CIVICUS – an international group promoting civil society organizations and groups-- recently reported a rise in the restrictions on civil society activities in a number of countries through worsening policy and legal environments. Funding challenges for the social sector are thus becoming more significant. At the same time, the calls for social sector accountability and emphasis on results and impact are growing. This book aims to offer approaches and tools which allow for the bridging of demands between creativity and accountability, between inspiration and results, and between gaining individual commitment and shared ownership of agendas and achievements, all of which are needed to effectively operate in the changing social sector.

Download or read book The World Health Report 2006 written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2006-03-23 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2006 World Health Report focuses on the chronic shortages of doctors, midwives, nurses and other health care support workers in the poorest countries of the world where they are most needed. This is particularly true in sub-Saharan Africa, which has only four in every hundred global health workers but has a quarter of the global burden of disease, and less than one per cent of the world's financial resources. Poor working conditions, high rates of attrition due to illness and migration, and education systems that are unable to pick up the slack reflect the depth of the challenges in these crisis countries. This report considers the challenges involved and sets out a 10-year action plan designed to tackle the crisis over the next ten years, by which countries can strengthen their health system by building their health workforces and institutional capacity with the support of global partners.
