Organizations and Chaos by H Richar Preismeyer Pdf

This unique book brings chaos theory out of the physics laboratory and into the business boardroom; it demonstrates how chaos theory can be applied to the practical world of business. Priesmeyer takes a fresh look at management in organizations using a unique method of displaying nonlinearity in common business data. He shares a simple procedure for displaying chaotic systems with the reader and the result is an entirely new perspective on marketing, finance, production, and human resource issues. The book is unique because it avoids any difficult mathematics and still delivers very practical applications for managers of all types. In some cases the implications for specific jobs such as that of a retail store manager, a sales manager, and a counselor are discussed in detail. The discussions of free will and visioning will have a real impact on anyone involved in planning. Part One of this book presents the notion of Corporate Chaos Theory and provides the concepts methods used by the author. Chapter 1 introduces the concept of nonlinearity and blends a discussion of chaos in biology into an example in business. Chapter 2 explains the simple method used by Priesmeyer in detail and applies that method to demonstrate organizational limit cycles. Chapter 3 draws on an analogy with cardiology to explain organizational behavior. Part Two consists of four chapters addressing applications in the functional areas of business. Chapters examine marketing, managerial finance, chaos in the production process, and a wide range of human resources issues, including stress. The chapter on production processes addresses new quality approaches and shows the weaknesses of common quality control tools and procedures. The final section of the book addresses decision making. Chapter 8 is directed to anyone involved in forecasting. It also includes an amusing attack on traditional statistics. The following chapters address Strategic Decision Making and provide a preliminary agenda for any company wishing to explore the methods in greater detail. Chapter 11 brings chaos theory down to a common, personal level, and explains the implications for certain specific jobs ranging from sales representatives to marriage counselors. The final chapter readdresses the concept of free will and includes an insightful exercise and conversation.

Navigating an Organizational Crisis by Harry Hutson,Martha Johnson Pdf

How are leaders facing a crisis supposed to handle and overcome an unknowable set of issues? This book demonstrates how effective leaders under pressure work from an understanding of the situation at hand and of their impact on others, and explains how leaders can best apply their internal strengths. Most leaders are steeped in risk management, crisis response tactics, readiness for disaster, continuity-of-operations planning, and logistical and agility capabilities. These preparations are critical but not complete. The reality is that even experienced leaders themselves need guidance when it comes to managing a crisis. This standout book fills that need, drawing on interviews with successful leaders; research findings on trauma, neuroscience, and crisis management; and the authors' own extensive career experiences. The chapters suggest and probe ideas from various angles rather than promoting simplistic formulas or nostrums that are unlikely to apply to all circumstances and present new angles on self-awareness and management under pressure for the practitioner. The book leads off with a description of organizational disaster and crisis leadership—topics of considerable concern as disasters are becoming the "new normal." The authors then explore three critical but very different types of responses by leaders at such a time: recognition and response, care of self and others, and storytelling. A detailed case study of a leader in the midst of Hurricane Katrina—the most expensive natural disaster in U.S. history—provides readers with a real-world practicum for the theories and ideas suggested.

Strengthening the Heartbeat by Thomas J. Sergiovanni Pdf

Study after study has concluded that no matter how competently managed a school may be, it is the bringing together of leadership and learning that makes the difference between ordinary and extraordinary performance. Strengthening the Heartbeat offers leaders a clear and compelling way to help their schools achieve extraordinary results. The proven principles outlined in this book can help any school build a culture of leadership and learning. Thomas J. Sergiovanni?a leading thinker in the educational leadership arena?shows how a strong heartbeat is a school's best defense against the obstacles leaders face as they work to change schools for the better. But strengthening the heartbeat of schools requires that we rethink what leadership is, how leadership works, what leadership's relationship is to learning, and why we need to practice both leadership and learning together. Filled with illustrative examples, Strengthening the Heartbeat shows how to build trust that leads to the creation of a vision and the building of a covenant that brings together principals, teachers, parents, and students to honor shared values, goals, and beliefs. When leaders are able to strengthen the heartbeat, their schools become stronger and more resilient. These qualities help leaders to share the burdens of leadership with others, to create collaborative cultures, and to be continuous learners. Leadership inevitably involves change and change inevitably involves learning. Using this book, school leaders will have the tools they need to make their schools the best they can be.

THE HEARTBEAT OF FUNDRAISING by Mutea Rukwaru Pdf

Fundraising or fund-raising is the process of seeking and gathering voluntary financial contributions by engaging individuals, businesses, charitable foundations, or government agencies. Although fundraising typically refers to efforts to gather money for non-profit organizations, it is sometimes used to refer to the identification and solicitation of investors or other sources of capital for profit enterprises (see Wikipedia). In Kenya, fundraising especially in the name of “Harambee” has been the nerve centre of development, especially after independence. The mushrooming of self help groups, welfare groups is a clear testimony of the author’s contention. However, it is important to note that fundraising is not an event but it is a tedious journey which requires elaborate planning. In a nutshell fundraising should be treated as a process.

The Heartbeat of the Youth Development Field by Georgia Hall,Jan Gallagher,Elizabeth Starr Pdf

Youth work is a sacred opportunity to make a significant difference in the lives of children and youth. Through research and personal essay narrative, The Heartbeat of the Youth Development Field: Professional Journeys of Growth, Connection, and Transformation shines a light on the intricate connections between research and practice, touching upon both the vulnerability and triumph of youth development work. The passionate voices of youth workers in this volume lead to the inescapable conclusion that programs and policies for youth must be informed by these same voices and the values they express. We hope this book shows OST workers, researchers, funders, and policymakers, as well as other education professionals, how youth workers’ lived experiences inspire their ability to build the relationships that are the foundation of positive and healthy youth development. From relationships comes engagement, and from engagement, transformation—centered in equity, inclusion, and belonging. No one is better able to advocate for these truths than the professionals who found themselves—by whatever means—working with young people to bring positive change to their lives, their communities, and our world. ENDORSEMENTS: "The Heartbeat of the Youth Development Field: Professional Journeys of Growth, Connection and Transformation is a timely discussion about what we in the Out-of-School Time and youth development field know already - that this work is an integral part of the success, survival, and thriving of youth. This book will be a catalyst for ensuring the professionalization of our field and additional support and resources for out-of-school time and youth development professionals." — Ebony Grace, NJSACC: The Statewide Network for New Jersey’s Afterschool Communities "The Heartbeat of the Youth Development Field provides a window into the lives of youth workers and experiences that led to their work with young people. It beautifully illustrates the importance of building positive relationships with youth, and details the practices and strategies successfully employed by youth workers. While this book will be immeasurably valuable to researchers, funders, and policymakers, it is also an important resource for program leaders to promote reflection and discussion among youth worker staff as part of staff development." — Sam Piha, The How Kids Learn Foundation and Temescal Associates
