Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creating Change in Social Work Practice: Four Essential Tools is strategically designed to help readers hone their ability to understand and create change within their social work practice. The text employs the Knowledge, Ability, and Skill model to assist readers in conceptualizing, envisioning, and creating change. Readers learn to identify the various stages in the process of creating change, as well as how to handle the challenges of change and plan appropriate treatment for change. Each chapter explores the history and efficacy of a featured tool, underscores its unique components and characteristics, provides readers with activities to develop their ability to use the tool, and offers assessments to ensure they know how to effectively exercise all of the pieces of the tool. The specific tools introduced throughout the text include: the conceptualization of change using the Transtheoretical Model to understand behavioral change; creating change using the Solution-Focused Approach; combating challenges to change through Motivational Interviewing; and finally, treatment planning for change. The closing chapter consists of advanced case studies and activities designed to build upon the ability gained from each chapter and foster mastery of the tools. Creating Change in Social Work Practice is an ideal supplementary text for undergraduate and graduate-level courses in the discipline. Practitioners in the field can also utilize this text to enhance and strengthen their personal practice. Philip Mongan is an associate professor of social work and the graduate coordinator of the Master of Social Work Program at Radford University.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two dozen essays assembled in Creating Change examine some of the most bitterly contested and controversial public events and public policy battles in American history. These writings, each by a leading activist or scholar, recount how a specific constituency—gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered persons, and their allies—achieved tremendous progress despite seemingly insurmountable barriers. With each of the chapters written by an activist or scholar integral to the specific area of discussion, this is a work of scholarship and a work of passion about the way the American political and cultural landscape became what it is today. It is the story of how social change is made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Underpinned by decades of research and application, Making Change Work shows that the lynchpin that connects change initiatives and their ultimate success is behavioural change. The book brings together the ROI Institute's established methodology for aligning projects and programmes to business needs and for evaluating impact and ROI with the Turning Learning Into Action methodology developed by Emma Weber to support learning transfer. It offers a step-by-step process that partners with any business initiative requiring behavioural change, providing the critical link bridging the knowledge and application. At the heart of the methodology is a framework for reflective conversation, ensuring accountability and aligning people to the desired outcomes. Cutting through complex change theory, Making Change Work is a 'how to' guide, providing an end-to-end approach to solve the problem that businesses have grappled with for so long from change projects that don't deliver business impact. It includes real life case studies from organizations such as BMW and the University of NSW Department of Innovation on how organizations are using the framework to create successful outcomes that are not just demonstrated but that are delivered and measurable. It is ideal for any professional who is embarking on any organizational initiative requiring change and evaluation of the subsequent ROI, whether it is a learning initiative, quality initiative or change initiative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written for therapists, Co-Creating Change shows what to do to help "stuck" patients (those who resist the therapy process) let go of their resistance and self-defeating behaviors and willingly co-create a relationship for change instead. Co-Creating Change includes clinical vignettes that illustrate hundreds of therapeutic impasses taken from actual sessions, showing how to understand patients and how to intervene effectively. The book provides clear, systematic steps for assessing patients' needs and intervening to develop an effective relationship for change. Co-Creating Change presents an integrative theory that uses elements of behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, emotion-focused therapy, psychoanalysis, and mindfulness. This empirically validated treatment is effective with a wide range of patients.

Organizational resilience is about creating organizations with the agility to adapt to unexpected challenges and the capacity to seize opportunity out of adversity.

Drawing on a decade of research, her team have identified 13 indicators to diagnose an organization's resilience.

Using case studies, diagnostic tools and key actions and initiatives to develop and maintain organizational resilience, Resilient Organizations is essential reading for everyone tasked with developing strong organizations that can survive and thrive in crisis and change - from risk, resilience and business continuity professionals to leadership and management teams.

Download or read book Creating Opportunities for Change and Organization Development in Southern Africa written by Dalitso Samson Sulamoyo and published by IAP. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes the position that successful OD applications in cross-cultural settings are predicated on the ability of OD experts to localize them for purposes of suiting local conditions and context. Cultural frameworks have been utilized by global OD experts to understand the general cultural settings of environments in which they are working and applying OD techniques. However, the complexities of culture within organizations, communities and countries may not always be understood within these cultural frameworks and models. Assumptions of culture based or reliant on models alone can impede the successful applications of OD. The author discusses the role of cultural translations of OD techniques within a southern African context. It examines the approach of western consultants in a southern African environment as well as the approach of local southern African consultants as they interact with western developed OD applications in their own local environments. The book uses three methods for conveying the opportunities and experience of OD in southern Africa: research, practitioner point of view, and storytelling. The author recognizes the works of renowned African scholars in the field of management as well OD practitioners carrying out innovative and pioneering work in southern Africa. Their work may not have had much exposure in the West; however, their contributions to the field of management should be recognized. OD is discussed in this book as an opportunity for change and development for southern African countries that are in democratic transitions, post conflict environments and on a path of development. The future of OD is explored within the context of economical, global and political emerging issues. The time is right for change and development in southern Africa with OD as the driving force.

Download or read book YOU Can Create Positive Change at Work! written by Mary Ceccanese and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-17 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you wake up in the morning excited to come to work? Are you valued as an employee? As a person? Do you feel part of the company as a whole? Do you leave work with a sense of accomplishment? It would be wonderful if we all could answer yes to these questions. But, sadly, that is not always the case. Despite the flood of books on business leadership and creating a positive and dynamic corporate culture-directed for the most part at decision makers in the C-suite-too many employers still fall short of the mark. These advice books often have little impact on the work lives of those on the front lines. Yet frontline staff make up the largest demographic in today's workforce. Although frontline staff have been referred to as those essential workers who have helped so many in our country and around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic, for the purposes of this book, we define frontline staff as all the people who make an organization run efficiently and effectively (from the custodian to the supervisor). The average person spends more waking hours at work than they do anywhere else. And that's why we believe strongly that the workplace should be an environment where employees are valued and shown that they are a necessary part of the whole team, department, and organization. We are passionate about helping this group of people-YOU-find ways to enhance their work life. Why? Because we have been there. We have experienced firsthand what it is like to work in the trenches-we remember how we were treated, how we were looked at, and what was expected of us. Combined, we have more than forty years of experience in nonmanagerial positions in both for-profit and nonprofit industries such as manufacturing, retail sales, consulting, medical administration, and education. Mary was a single parent who raised three kids, worked full-time, and went back to school at forty-two. Kimberley has been married for more than twenty years and made a major life change-going back to school to obtain her PhD-while she and her husband were raising three teenagers.
