The Bully at Work: What You Can Do to Stop the Hurt and Reclaim Your Dignity on the Job, Second Edition - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Life for the Namies changed in 1996 when Dr. Ruth ran into ahorrific woman supervisor as an employee in a psychiatric clinic.In her life before completing a PhD in clinical psychology and special-izing in chemical dependency treatment, Ruth had been a corporatetraining director, management consultant, and retail manager. Gary(PhD, social psychology) was a professor at several universities, thedirector of two corporate training departments, and a managementconsultant.The couple’s fight for justice began in 1998 with the founding of theCampaign Against Workplace Bullying. The nonprofit organizationmorphed during its first decade into the Workplace Bullying Institute,which serves Americans and Canadians. The accomplishments ofwhich we are most proud are that we imported the British term “work-place bullying” to the United States, started the national dialogue,and sustain it in more ways than originally imagined.Research—data from empirical surveys and over 5,000 intensiveinterviews—distinguishes WBI from well-intentioned newcomers tothe fight against bullying. Surveys started with a modest set of ques-tions in 1998, growing to the national scientific survey conductedwith partner Zogby International, and continuing with state-of-the-artdescriptive empirical studies, scientific conference presentations, andpublications in peer-reviewed academic journals. Interviews beganxiiThe Bully at Workwhen we offered toll-free advice starting in 1998. Financial compli-cations from the practice compelled its termination, but we learnedmuch of what we know from those who shared their suffering.The Namies educate the public. Their bullying-related researchand work have been featured numerous times on network TV—CNBC,The Today Show, Good Morning America, The Early Show, Nightline,CNN—on local TV, and in the national press—New York Times,Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, ChicagoTribune, Wall Street Journal, National Post, Financial Post, TorontoStar, Maclean’s—and radio across the United States and Canada.Appearances total over 700 in all media.Work Doctor, Inc., is the premier consulting firm that focuses onemployer solutions to correct and prevent workplace bullying. Thefirm, established in 1985, has focused exclusively on bullying-relatedorganizational problems since 1998.The original website grew into the Namie network of eight websitesreflecting the breadth of their services and information on the topic.
Homeowners Association and You (You and Your Homeowner's Association) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Homeowners Association and You is designed as an informationresource and a practical guide for solving problems regardingAssociations. The book is presented in three parts. The first partaddresses how the Community and its Association are structured.The second part provides an overview of the legal issues theAssociation confronts and what to do about them. The third partaddresses how the Community is managed and the part you canplay—whether as a knowledgeable resident, Committee member, orBoard member—in improving its operation and success.The chapters are laid out by major topic areas—those thateveryone must know something about. Within the chapters, eachsubject area is discussed in detail with questionnaires, checklists, andforms provided. The appendices provide you with additionalresources and information to assist you as you go forward.EVALUATING THE COMMUNITYThe questionnaires and checklists are evaluation and improvementtools for determining the state of your Community and yourAssociation. They can and should be used more than once. That way,you can track your progress based on the point at which you started.Even more, the questionnaires and checklists will provide you withthe opportunity to develop a vision for your Community. No matterwhere you live or in what type of Community, each resident has a pic-ture of how that Community should look, feel, and operate. The eval-uations allow you to determine how you are progressing toward thatINTRODUCTIONvision, where there are opportunities for improvement, and whatactions should be taken so that the vision can and does become reality.As you read through the book, you may want to gather a groupof other residents to join you in completing some of the evaluations.If you are a member of the Board, you may want to arrange a spe-cial session to discuss the evaluations and the Board’s vision for theCommunity.You may decide to get alternative views from non-Board orCommittee members—in effect, the silent majority of residents—about how they see the Community and its operations. Think of itas an informal focus group. Marketing companies do it all the timeto make sure that they are on the right track. Why not use a triedand true technique for getting as much input as possible?The main thing in using the questionnaires and checklists is tobe as honest and objective as possible. It is very rare that everythingis perfect or perfectly awful. Most situations are a combination ofwhat you want and what you are surprised to find—for the goodand the bad. So when you use the evaluations, use them one at atime, take your time in answering them, and consider the answerscarefully before you decide to take action.
Building Organizational Memories: Will You Know What You Knew? (Premier Reference Source) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Much has been written about how organizations create and exchange knowledge to achieve a competitiveadvantage. To date most researchers have concentrated on the present and how organizational leadersmay use knowledge to create value today. This book builds on the many great works in the knowledgemanagement domain; however, it is unique in that the focus will be on what leaders should be doingnow (or soon) to ensure the next generation of organizational leaders know what they knew.The following is a real-world example of why this area of research is important; there are many morereasons articulated in the pages ahead. During an interview on CBS News on September 11, 2006, NewYork Fire Department Deputy Fire Chief John Norman described the unfathomable loss of life of theDepartment’s Special Operations Command five years earlier. On that tragic day, September 11, 2001,Special Operations Command lost 95 men – totaling 1600 years of experience. This is simply unimagi-nable when one considers this specialized unit pioneered techniques for urban rescue and terrorist at-tacks. Surely, it would be impossible to reconstitute the unique and vital knowledge of these brave men.Au contraire, Norman’s team proved that they had plans in place to quickly rebuild their team and onceagain become the best in world. Five years later the knowledge loss was virtually unnoticeable as theteam responded to 50 calls (Pitts, 2006).This story is not meant to demean the heartbreaking loss of very brave men, but rather it is to com-memorate the outstanding leadership, courage, and culture of a team that would not give up. Fortunately,most organizations do not have to suffer the tragic loss that Norman described, but perhaps we can learnfrom their tragedy. Virtually all organizations must deal with organizational memory loss to varyingdegrees. Could your organization rebuild from such devastation?Regrettably, organizational memory loss is not new, consider:One horrible day 1,600 years ago, the wisdom of many centuries went up in flames. The great libraryin Alexandria burned down, a catastrophe at the time and a symbol for all ages of the vulnerability ofhuman knowledge. The tragedy forced scholars to grope to reconstruct a grand literature and sciencethat once lay neatly cataloged in scrolls. (E. Linden, 1991)The message is clear; organizations must develop a strategy to maintain the intellectual capital thatmakes them unique. To be sure, most organizations cannot capture all of their tacit and explicit knowl-edge; however, that is not necessary and perhaps not even desirable. Rather organizational leaders mustput in place the tools and techniques to ensure that mission critical knowledge is maintained for thenext generation
The Complete Canadian Eldercare Guide: Expert Solutions to Help You Make the Best Decisions for Your Loved Ones - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: E ldercare and its inherent superhero responsibilities are the new facts of life for aging Canadians and the invincible baby boomers. Today, as adult sons and daughters with high-maintenance careers, as spouses with ailing partners or rela- tives, we find ourselves juggling work, life, and care responsibility. We are, as the saying goes, “sandwiched” between the care needs of others and our still-dependent children. Research shows that families are, for the most part, unpre- pared for the eldercare challenges that lie ahead. Many move directly into “care in crisis” mode, make plans on the fly, and regret not making decisions about aging issues in advance. Workplace health, wellness, and productivity issues are huge. Today, employers and governments identify productivity, absen- teeism, presenteeism, and retention as key factors for their aging work forces with the statistics pointing to eldercare as one of the biggest hurdles to overcome. Of note: • More than 3.5 million Canadians are currently over the age of 65. By the year 2020, that number will more than double.1 • For 70% of Canadians age 30 to 60, caregiving for aging parents is now a reality with eldercare being shared across families.2 • More than 70% of informal caregivers are women, most often wives (24%) or adult daughters (29%).
Business Words You Should Know: From accelerated Depreciation to Zero-based Budgeting - Learn the Lingo for Any Field - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: When Dean and I first started talking about writing this book, we thought it would be very straightforward. We knew we wanted to take the language of business and translate it into plain English. He would choose the words, write the definitions, and take the role of busi- ness guru, ensuring the information was accurate. I would write the sen- tences, handle the technical part of writing a book, and take the role of target audience, ensuring the information was understandable. And we would have the next book in the excellent Words You Should Know series. To a certain extent, that is what happened. Over and over throughout the last year, Dean would present me with a definition, and I would say “But what does it mean?” until he had simplified it enough that even I could understand it. So it was straightforward. Dean has indeed chosen words and written definitions. I have written sentences. And you are reading this book. But something else happened as well. Once we started writing it, we came to realize it had far more potential than we originally recognized, and that was really exciting. Yes, this book can be used in a very straightforward manner: When you hear a business word you don’t understand, look it up and close the book. Easy. But it can be much more than that as well, depending on your needs. Perhaps you need to know more about a concept than simply its defi- nition and usage. An Internet search on “management style,” for instance, turns up more than 200 thousand results! This book offers related words for each term. Combine a few of them in your search, and suddenly you are closer to finding the information you actually need. Also, throughout the book, you will find boxes with further explana- tions of many of the defined words. While the definitions for these words are easy to understand, the concepts sometimes are not. The information found within the boxes will help clarify the concepts and how they apply to the business world.

What You Need to Know About Cannabis: Understanding the Facts - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Working as substance misuse counsellors and educators over many years, we have gathered a wealth of experience in dealing directly with cannabis users, and others indirectly affected by its use. It has become clear to us that there is a high degree of confusion and ignorance surrounding this particular drug, perhaps more so than with some other illegal substances. There are those who wish to promote cannabis as a harmless, even beneficial substance, whilst others take the opposite view and wish the public to view cannabis as ‘devil weed’, responsible for many of society’s problems. In our view neither of these two positions is supported by the evidence cur- rently available. It is our intention in writing this book to examine and present a balanced account of the information currently available, covering as many aspects as possible, in order to provide you with what you need to know to form your own opinions about this controversial drug. We have met many cannabis users who have claimed to use the drug with no ill effects; however, in recent years much clinical research, from countries around the entire globe, has been published which draws attention to the significant links between cannabis use and a number of serious long-term mental health problems. Other research has identified a clear physical addiction and accompa- nying withdrawal syndrome of clinically important symptoms, especially in heavy users. Similarly, it has been demonstrated that a small percentage of users are more genetically susceptible to problems with the drug. With so much new information being made available, some of it apparently contradictory, we believe that a clear need exists to set out, in as easily under- standable and accessible way as possible, many of the diverse issues that have surfaced, drawing on a wide range of sources. You need to be aware that research in this field is ongoing, and further infor- mation may become available that requires a modification of that informed view. 7 Therefore, this book should not be considered as the ‘last word’ on the subject of cannabis, as knowledge is constantly increasing and evolving. Still, we hope that within these pages we have covered sufficient ground to provide you with ‘what you need to know’, and to help you arrive at your own position on this important subjec
