Book Synopsis From The Locker Room to the Boardroom by : Elesa Argent
Download or read book From The Locker Room to the Boardroom written by Elesa Argent and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of the 'sport business metaphor' refers to the extensive use of sport analogies in the corporate sector and represents the way in which positive attitudes to sport are embedded in corporate culture. Whilst positive perceptions of sport have permeated corporate culture in many ways and attitudes towards sport are clearly positive, the concept has never been empirically researched. The purpose of this study was to empirically research the 'sport business metaphor' and provide insight into the values it embodied. The research used a mixed-methods strategy that involved three phases. The first, a systematic review, identified the skills that were perceived to be characteristic of an effective manager. The second used semi-structured interviews with sport coaches and business recruiters to ascertain whether sport was perceived to develop the skills that were identified by the systematic review. The third and final phase used the Multi- Factor Leadership Questionnaire to measure perceptions of leadership in athletes and nonathletes, and reflected findings that leadership was the skill desired most by the corporate sector in the first two phases of research. Findings indicated that the corporate sector, as reflected in the literature and interviews, perceived sport to develop the skills that they perceived as desirable. Significant differences in SELF and OTHERS ratings of perceptions of leadership in athletes and non-athletes further strengthened these findings, by reporting that athletes scored higher in all measures of transformational leadership. These results provided valuable insight into the values that the 'sport business metaphor' embodied.
Book Synopsis Women on Corporate Boards of Directors by : Ronald J. Burke
Download or read book Women on Corporate Boards of Directors written by Ronald J. Burke and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both the practitioner and academic communities have voiced strong opinions regarding the progress of women in reaching the executive suite and the corporate boardroom. Proponents on each side of the current debate offer evidence suggesting the accuracy of their respective positions. One view holds: "The fight is over. The battle is won. Women are now accepted as outside directors in the preponderance of corporate boardrooms" (Lear, 1994: 10). An alternative perspective, however, suggests there is much progress left. An illustration of the type of remaining barriers is provided by T. J. Rodgers, chief executive officer (CEO) of Cypress Semiconductor Corp. , who has commented that "a 'woman's view' on how to run our semiconductor company does not help us" (Rodgers, 1996: 14). Regardless of where one falls along the spectrum anchored at one end by the view that women have made substantial progress in reaching the upper echelons of corporations and anchored at the other end by the view that women have barely begun to penetrate the "inner sanctum" of corporations, the central issue is the extent to which women have succeeded in cracking the proverbial "glass ceiling. " The glass ceiling is a metaphorical barrier which prevents women from attaining the upper-most organizational positions (e. g. , Karr, 1991; Morrison, White, Van Velsor, and the Center for Creative Leadership, 1992; Powell & Butterfield, 1994; U. S. Department of Labor, 1991).

Book excerpt: Sassy, funny, blunt, and definitely not sugar coated, Don’t Burp in the Boardroom examines etiquette in the workplace, from the warehouse to the top floor. While the outerwear may be different, the dilemmas from cubicle to corner office are the same. Rosalinda Randall delves into common predicaments like food, the break room, social media and electronics, office romances, or how to make a good impression when you’re new on the job. She also delves into the uncommonly common like catching your boss in an unfortunate position and how to avoid that one co-worker who always wants a hug. In today’s modern, fast-paced, crazy lifestyle we think we don’t have time for etiquette. We might believe that it is outdated, irrelevant, or even pretentious. But Don’t Burp in the Boardroom talks about etiquette without mentioning etiquette! How’s that possible? Because Rosalinda defines etiquette as an attitude. What’s yours like?

Download or read book America's Game written by Michael MacCambridge and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2008-11-26 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s difficult to imagine today—when the Super Bowl has virtually become a national holiday and the National Football League is the country’s dominant sports entity—but pro football was once a ramshackle afterthought on the margins of the American sports landscape. In the span of a single generation in postwar America, the game charted an extraordinary rise in popularity, becoming a smartly managed, keenly marketed sports entertainment colossus whose action is ideally suited to television and whose sensibilities perfectly fit the modern age. America’s Game traces pro football’s grand transformation, from the World War II years, when the NFL was fighting for its very existence, to the turbulent 1980s and 1990s, when labor disputes and off-field scandals shook the game to its core, and up to the sport’s present-day preeminence. A thoroughly entertaining account of the entire universe of professional football, from locker room to boardroom, from playing field to press box, this is an essential book for any fan of America’s favorite sport.
