The Bridge to Growth by Jude Rake Pdf

A recent study revealed that only 21 percent of workers feel engaged and truly committed to their company’s success and goals. They don’t know how their work connects to their company’s goals or understand how they can help achieve them. Leaders have failed to fully engage workers in the development and execution of their company’s mission and goals, and ultimately its journey toward success. Too often, employees are over-managed and under-led. Jude Rake, a business leader with more than 35 years of experience leading high-performance teams, shows how servant leaders—those who serve employees by giving them what they need to fully engage and commit to achieving the company’s goals—use nine proven principles to succeed: Grow leaders and difference makers, not just followers. Build and orchestrate high-performance teams more powerful than the sum of their parts. Focus the organization on strategic priorities, simplify operations, and accelerate progress. Champion the people who purchase and use your products and services. Cultivate a performance-based culture of innovation. Communicate relentlessly. See the world through the eyes of others. Be the model you want emulated. Coach people to achieve more than they thought possible. The Bridge to Growth details how to use these principles to elevate workforce engagement, collaboration, innovation, and accountability to build a bridge from strategy to exceptional execution and results.

Bridge Leadership by Autumn K. Tooms,Christa Boske Pdf

This is the first chronicle of the history of social justice as a line of inquiry within the field of educational administration. Editors Tooms and Boske have amassed a collective voice of leaders in the field of Educational Administration who have broken barriers and expanded the field through their own work and scholarship within a national and international arena. Many of these narratives are the first time tellings of the challenges and successes found in the works of this group of scholars of historic significance. This collection is written and organized into practical and easy to digest sections. They are part history lesson, and part practical teaching tool for those who prepare school leaders. Anyone from school leaders to academics interested or charged with unpacking the messy intersections between school leadership and issues of social justice will find inspiration and easy to understand explanations of leadership and equity work within the chapters presented. Endorsement: “Bridge Leadership is a powerful and fascinating new volume that explores the intersections of social justice and educational leadership. What distinguishes it from other social justice work is that it is much more personal than most such texts. Many of the book’s authors share poignant excerpts of their life stories and connect them to the theoretical constructs, historical events, and political struggles of social justice. The foregrounding of these personal stories and the bridges they create with social justice gives the volume a raw power not found in other social justice works. I could not put the volume down!” ~ Ulrich C. Reitzug, University of North Carolina,Greensboro

Coaching, Training & Developing The Retail Manager by Richard Bell Pdf

Retail managers spend a large part of their day putting out fires. They chase problems and apply quick, immediate solutions. The solutions do not typically consider the whole system or surrounding areas that may be impacted.

When problems arise, a Store Manager asks, "How Do I fix this problem now?"A Retail Consultant asks, "What does the problem really mean?"A Retail Consultant is a professional trained to look beneath the surface of problems. They collect data, observe established norms and behaviors as well examine contributing factors below the surface in regards to problems and dysfunctional environments. The bad news, your company will probably never offer you the support and expertise of problem-solving through a consultant.The good news, a Store Manager, can be the Retail Consultant for their store. This book covers the six main identifiers that contribute to a Store Managers understanding of a retail business. They include business performance, customers, employee/ environment, presentation/ assortment, competition, and processes.

Leadership for a Fractured World by Dean WIlliams Pdf

Leaders today—whether in corporations or associations, nonprofits or nations—face massive, messy, multidimensional problems. No one person or group can possibly solve them—they require the broadest possible cooperation. But, says Harvard scholar Dean Williams, our leadership models are still essentially tribal: individuals with formal authority leading in the interest of their own group. In this deeply needed new book, he outlines an approach that enables leaders to transcend internal and external boundaries and help people to collaborate, even people over whom they technically have no power. Drawing on what he's learned from years of working in countries and organizations around the world, Williams shows leaders how to approach the delicate and creative work of boundary spanning, whether those boundaries are cultural, organizational, political, geographic, religious, or structural. Sometimes leaders themselves have to be the ones who cross the boundaries between groups. Other times, a leader's job is to build relational bridges between divided groups or even to completely break down the boundaries that block collaborative problem solving. By thinking about power and authority in a different way, leaders will become genuine change agents, able to heal wounds, resolve conflicts, and bring a fractured world together.

Coaching, Training and Developing the Retail Manager by Richard Bell Pdf

Have you ever seen a bridge in a movie? Not the solid structural type you drive your car over but the type you walk across to get to the other side. They are typically placed in jungle scenes that have wooden planks to walk on and ropes on both sides to use as a guide rail. They are usually connecting the two sides of a mountain because of a huge drop. They also are characteristically missing planks and some fall as you walk or run across them. It is with much trepidation that you cross because you never know if the bridge will fail or you will fall through the planks. This is the bridge to retail leadership. Crossing The Retail Leadership Bridge requires a balancing act of developing people and accountability. The bridge consists of: 1.Living the Vision 2.Connecting & Valuing People 3.Leading Managers 4.Culture, Morale & Development 5.Change & the Whole System 6.Embracing & Respecting Customers 7.Reflection 8.Guard Your Words & Actions Take this introspective journey to unlock your talents and skills. There may be steps that are difficult to take and require substantial change, but they will ultimately advance your relationships with people. There are very few that will make the transition from manager to leader. Some will not have the skills while others will not have the desire for change. Even if leadership may seem beyond your reach, there are opportunities to enhance your skills. Apply the knowledge learned through the bridge process and it may take you further than you ever thought possible.

Friedman's Fables by Edwin H. Friedman Pdf

Edwin H. Friedman has woven 24 illustrative tales that offer fresh perspectives on familiar human foibles and reflect the author's humor, pathos, and understanding. Friedman takes on resistance and other "demons" to show that neither insight, nor encouragement, nor intimidation can in themselves motivate an unmotivated person to change. These tales playfully demonstrate that new ideas, new questions, and imagination, more than accepted wisdom, provide each of us with the keys to overcoming stubborn emotional barriers and facilitating real change both in ourselves and others. Thought-provoking discussion questions for each fable are included.

Facilitating Breakthrough by Adam Kahane Pdf

Making progress on complex, problematic situations requires a new approach to working together: transformative facilitation, a structured and creative process for removing the obstacles to fluid forward movement. It is becoming less straightforward for people to move forward together. They face increasing complexity and decreasing control. They need to work with more people from across more divides. In such situations, the most common ways of advancing—some people telling others what to do, or everyone just doing what they think they need to—aren't adequate. One better way is through facilitating. But the most common approaches to facilitating—bossy vertical directing from above or collegial horizontal accompanying from alongside—aren't adequate. They often leave the participants frustrated and yearning for breakthrough. This book describes a new approach: transformative facilitation. It doesn't choose either the bossy vertical or the collegial horizontal approach: it cycles back and forth between them. Rather than forcing or cajoling, the facilitator removes the obstacles that stand in the way of people contributing and connecting equitably. It enables people to bring their whole selves to the process. This book is for anyone who helps people work together to transform their situation, be it a professional facilitator, manager, consultant, coach, chairperson, organizer, mediator, stakeholder, or friend. It offers a broad and bold vision of the contribution that facilitation can make to helping people collaborate to make progress.
