Описание: Managing Staff for Improved Performance provides a comprehensive guide to people management in schools, giving school leaders and managers clear insights into how to develop employee performance and ensure high quality service in education. Middlewood and Abbott explore human resource management (HRM) theory and practice, drawing on examples from a wide-range of school contexts across many different countries. They examine what is meant by all levels of performance, from excellent to poor, and offer strategies for evaluating the performance of all staff – starting with the school leader. The authors also explore a range of issues including recruitment, performance-related pay, working with unions and other professional organisations, engaging stakeholders and the thorny issues around dismissal procedures. Throughout this comprehensive guide for aspiring and practising school leaders, the emphasis is on taking a proactive and positive approach with a view to developing a culture within the organisation which only accepts very effective performance, and supports the style and approach of the school leader.

Описание: The coaching profession is growing and innovating. According to the International Coaching Federation (ICF), coaching earns over $3 Billion per year with over 100,000 practitioners of coaching. This book is for both practitioners and scholars of executive coaching. Coaching is an exciting and powerful skillset that allows individuals to empower others and helps individuals to generate awareness that opens the door for great levels of success.
The approach of this book is to look at the theoretical framework of coaching as it applies to the actual practice of coaching others and groups.
It is important to ground practice in theory and research to bring together the researched framework to help to inform the approach. There is an old proverb that states: “Theory is when you know everything but nothing works. Practice is when everything works but no one knows why.” The approach of this book will enable the student with the theory, the processes and the skills to coach in a way that works and to be able to understand the why behind the success as well as make it replicable.
Описание: This book weaves together spirituality and a systemic version of emotional intelligence that incorporates Kurt Lewin`s social science and other sources. Emotional intelligence calls on us to be fully present "to the moment." It calls on us to be appreciative of ourselves and our relationships.
This book aims to inspire and ignite leadership action that makes a difference for you, your organisation and the world we live in.
Its purpose is to clearly state the case for leadership and its importance to all of us at this time. At an organisational level, there is little doubt that real leadership is the 'engine room' of performance. In the absence of systemic, results-focused leadership, breakthrough performance and high commitment will not be achieved.
To make progress on our most significant issues, we need a new paradigm of leadership that supersedes the outdated industrial age leadership paradigm and liberates us from old ways of thinking about how to manage and lead people. A new paradigm needs to guide our actions and decisions in a constructive, values-driven way. It is one that will empower each of us to take full responsibility and accountability at all levels of organisations, in government, and in the community. Importantly, a new paradigm will create an environment of high levels of commitment and learning.
'Leadership Without Silver Bullets: A Guide to Accelerating Team Performance' will show you:
a fresh, honest examination of leadership today
why and how the industrial age leadership paradigm continues to dominate today and hinder performance
the type of leadership demanded for the future
an important new emerging paradigm and what you can do in your own organisation
leadership to successfully adapt
