Managing Change. British Airways from Turbulent Times To Flying the Friendly Skies! by Huda Al-Dori Pdf

Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 90, Anglia Ruskin University, course: MBA, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this “informal report” is to address the following tasks: To identify and analyse the challenges experienced by British Airways in their negotiations with Unite. In addition, to make recommendations as to how organisational change may be applied to enable sustainable development within an organisation. It seems reasonable to assume that BA should be used as an illustrative case example, and as such it will be used in an applied context of change within this report. We will attempt to show recommended models for change management, as implied in the second part of the tasks of this assignment, and apply them to the situation faced by BA in the years of dispute to the present circumstances. This application of models to BA, will then allow us to contextualise the organisational change, and to evaluate key elements in our analysis of the BA case, whilst synthesising data and information from a variety of sources, and theories related to HRM and change. These are woven into the historical narrative of the BA case, that we created in the report, in an action oriented approach (Herr 2014) to the “telling” and “analysis” of the BA “story”.

It also belongs in the libraries of well-being and health practitioners who frequently deal with businesspeople as clients or patients.

Managing in Turbulent Times by Peter Drucker Pdf

Managing in Turbulent Times tackles the key issues facing managers in the 1990s: how to manage in rapidly changing environments. This seminal and prophetic book laid the foundation for a generation of writers on change management. This book concerns the immediate future of business, society and the economy. The one certainty about the times ahead, says Drucker, is that they will be turbulent times. In turbulent times the first task of management is to make sure of the organizations capacity for survival, to make sure of its structural strength and soundness, its capacity to survive a blow, to adapt to sudden change and to avail itself of new opportunities. The author is concerned with action rather than understanding, with decisions rather than analysis. It aims at being a practical book for the decision maker, whether in the private or the public sector.

Centered Leadership by Joanna Barsh,Johanne Lavoie Pdf

What enables some talented people to rise to the top and live their full ambitions at work and in life, while others stop short? In 2007, Joanna Barsh led a team at McKinsey & Company to answer that very question. In the process, they uncovered what distinguishes leaders who are successful from those who achieve true greatness, developing an approach called Centered Leadership. They drew on research from across the academic fields of leadership, organization behavior, neuroscience, evolutionary psychology and positive psychology. In addition, Barsh interviewed over 160 leaders from many fields – including business, government and the arts – and from many countries. With quantitative research, the team learned that these leaders have mastered practices to find their balance in the midst of chaos and lead from their most resourceful selves, unleashing the potential of others. In 2009, Johanne Lavoie joined to lead development of programs that help executives build these capabilities. Their research and development work continues as more and more leaders experience Centered Leadership. In the business bestseller, How Remarkable Women Lead, Barsh described Centered Leadership’s five capabilities and the research that underpins it. Here, with colleague Johanne Lavoie, Barsh provides a practical, actionable field guide for implementation. In Centered Leadership, Barsh and Lavoie will guide you through the Centered Leadership program. You’ll find the interactive tools, exercises, and practices that have helped the men and women participants in Centered Leadership programs gain the skills, courage and confidence to lead. And, along the way, you’ll read inspiring stories of remarkable men and women leaders who demonstrate the power of these skills in action. Those early in their careers will learn how to use these skills to explore their passions and accelerate their professional development. Those forming families will be able to use them to reconcile manage work and life to get the most out of both. And those who have already achieved success will be able use these practices to reach their next leadership horizon. No matter what stage you are currently at in your career, or what level of leadership you aspire to, this book will equip you with the tools to unlock your own Centered Leader and achieve more positive impact at work and outside it.
