Strengthscope® Handbook by James Brook and Dr Paul Brewerton Pdf

• A guide to achieving success through optimising strengths and reducing performance risks • Written by experienced business professionals who founded a professional business strength assessment and development strategy • The book links research with a wealth of business expertise to help employees at various levels and capacities – employees, leaders, managers, coaches, facilitators, HR professionals and consultants. During the past two decades, research has linked personality strengths to a wide range of positive work and life outcomes, including wellbeing and stress management, motivation, creative problem-solving and improved relationships, self-confidence, career success and teamwork. It has also shown the importance of addressing performance risk areas to achieve the best possible outcomes. Risk areas such as overuse or inappropriate use of strengths, or weaker areas that can disrupt/derail performance, should also be addressed to optimise success. This handbook is a practical guide to translating awareness from the Strengthscope® profile into behaviour change and successful results. It will also help readers improve their relationships with others through a better understanding of their strengths and performance risk areas. This book has been based on Brook’s and Brewerton’s Strengthscope® suite, an innovative strengths profiling system that helps improve performance. Backed by over 10 years of research, it is used by many leading organisations. The strategy helps people optimise their performance and energy by improving their understanding of: • Unique strengths and how to optimise these to achieve exceptional results • Risk areas to peak performance, together with powerful ways to reduce the impact of these • Positive ways of working that will improve confidence, motivation and success in any situation • How to strengthen relationships and work more better with people whose strengths are different from yours By understanding and optimising their strengths, energising them and enabling them to do their best work, will help supercharge readers’ performance.

The Oxford Handbook of Global Health Politics by Colin McInnes,Kelley Lee,Jeremy Youde Pdf

Protecting and promoting health is inherently a political endeavor that requires a sophisticated understanding of the distribution and use of power. Yet while the global nature of health is widely recognized, its political nature is less well understood. In recent decades, the interdisciplinary field of global health politics has emerged to demonstrate the interconnections of health and core political topics, including foreign and security policy, trade, economics, and development. Today a growing body of scholarship examines how the global health landscape has both shaped and been shaped by political actors and structures. The Oxford Handbook of Global Health Politics provides an authoritative overview and assessment of research on this important and complicated subject. The volume is motivated by two arguments. First, health is not simply a technical subject, requiring evidence-based solutions to real-world problems, but an arena of political contestation where norms, values, and interests also compete and collide. Second, globalization has fundamentally changed the nature of health politics in terms of the ideas, interests, and institutions involved. The volume comprises more than 30 chapters by leading experts in global health and politics. Each chaper provides an overview of the state of the art on a given theoretical perspective, major actor, or global health issue. The Handbook offers both an excellent introduction to scholars new to the field and also an invaluable teaching and research resource for experts seeking to understand global health politics and its future directions.
