Download or read book Principled written by Paul Browning and published by Univ. of Queensland Press. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the era of #metoo, &‘fake news' and &‘alternative facts' few would dispute that we face a global crisis around trust in the workplace and more broadly in society. When the CSIRO released its Australian National Outlook 2019, it identified trust as one of the future key challenges the nation faces in relation to governments, business, non-government organisations and the media. It is less likely that a company will be able to innovate and remain competitive if trust is low or absent. Prominent Australian educator Paul Browning faced this situation when the school he led became embroiled in The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. Principled draws on Browning's first-hand experience of navigating an organisation through this highly public ethical crisis and outlines the challenges he faced as a leader. Bringing together evidence-based research and over 20 years of management experience, Paul Browning offers timely advice on the 10 key practices that can help executives build and develop skills to become more trustworthy leaders.
Book Synopsis Statistics As Principled Argument by : Robert P. Abelson
Download or read book Statistics As Principled Argument written by Robert P. Abelson and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this illuminating volume, Robert P. Abelson delves into the too-often dismissed problems of interpreting quantitative data and then presenting them in the context of a coherent story about one's research. Unlike too many books on statistics, this is a remarkably engaging read, filled with fascinating real-life (and real-research) examples rather than with recipes for analysis. It will be of true interest and lasting value to beginning graduate students and seasoned researchers alike. The focus of the book is that the purpose of statistics is to organize a useful argument from quantitative evidence, using a form of principled rhetoric. Five criteria, described by the acronym MAGIC (magnitude, articulation, generality, interestingness, and credibility) are proposed as crucial features of a persuasive, principled argument. Particular statistical methods are discussed, with minimum use of formulas and heavy data sets. The ideas throughout the book revolve around elementary probability theory, t tests, and simple issues of research design. It is therefore assumed that the reader has already had some access to elementary statistics. Many examples are included to explain the connection of statistics to substantive claims about real phenomena.
Book Synopsis A Principled Stand by : Gordon K. Hirabayashi
Download or read book A Principled Stand written by Gordon K. Hirabayashi and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2013-06-30 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1943, University of Washington student Gordon Hirabayashi defied the curfew and mass removal of Japanese Americans on the West Coast, and was subsequently convicted and imprisoned as a result. In A Principled Stand, Gordon's brother James and nephew Lane have brought together his prison diaries and voluminous wartime correspondence to tell the story of Hirabayashi v. United States, the Supreme Court case that in 1943 upheld and on appeal in 1987 vacated his conviction. For the first time, the events of the case are told in Gordon's own words. The result is a compelling and intimate story that reveals what motivated him, how he endured, and how his ideals changed and deepened as he fought discrimination and defended his beliefs. A Principled Stand adds valuable context to the body of work by legal scholars and historians on the seminal Hirabayashi case. This engaging memoir combines Gordon's accounts with family photographs and archival documents as it takes readers through the series of imprisonments and court battles Gordon endured. Details such as Gordon's profound religious faith, his roots in student movements of the day, his encounters with inmates in jail, and his daily experiences during imprisonment give texture to his storied life.

Book Synopsis Principled Profit by : Shel Horowitz
Download or read book Principled Profit written by Shel Horowitz and published by A W M. This book was released on 2003 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horowitz offers the latest addition to the deluge of morally-centred business tomes. In one way, it's an overturning of traditional corporate wisdom -- see your competitors as your allies, not your adversaries, Horowitz suggests -- but it's also something we've been hearing an awful lot of lately: build meaningful relationships with your customers, view your employees as your partners and so on. Nevertheless, the arguments are all sound and illustrated with the customer-obsessed success stories of ventures like Saturn and Nordstrom. Horowitz is at his best when displaying his canny understanding of the media world, advising how to fit your business's message with the media's need to produce timely, relevant stories.
Book Synopsis Principled Policing by : John Cottingham Alderson
Download or read book Principled Policing written by John Cottingham Alderson and published by Waterside Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic text about the need for fundamental principles for policing - by the father of community policing. John Alderson is well-known as the former chief constable of Devon and Cornwall and a leading exponent of liberal, democratic values and human rights in relation to police work. In Principled policing he demonstrates how it is all too easy for everyday police officers to fall into behaviour which becomes difficult to comprehend-as a result of working practices, working cultures, state manoeuvring and a lack of fundamental values for decision-making. Through his description of what he calls 'high police' and by way of worldwide examples-from Northern Ireland to Tiananmen Square, Nazi Germany to the FBI to the British miners strike of 1984/5-the author calls for decency, fairness and morality to act as touchstones for police officers everywhere. Principled Policing - which is dedicated to 'the innocent victims of the world's unprincipled policing' is now in use on courses for police officers looking to reach the very highest positions.

Book Synopsis Principled Leadership by : Kevin Dougherty
Download or read book Principled Leadership written by Kevin Dougherty and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2024-03-20 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among dozens of leadership theories, types, and styles, "principled leadership," is increasingly in demand as ethical crises plague more and more organizations and individuals. But despite strong consensus surrounding the need for principled leadership, there is little common understanding of it as an art and science. What exactly is principled leadership? How does it work? How does a leader practice it? What distinguishes it from other leadership types? What does it look like in action? How is principled leadership more than just individual principled behavior? This book answers these and more questions, introducing principled leadership theory and illustrating it through practical case studies. Principled leadership holds powerful, positive effects for leaders who practice its concepts.
Download or read book Principled Selling written by David Tovey and published by Kogan Page Publishers. This book was released on 2012-10-03 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because buyer behaviour has changed and buyers now trust social media and personal recommendations more than salespeople, companies need to respond to this new reality to acquire customers. Principled Selling discusses the skills and behaviours needed to win customers, build relationships and retain existing ones. It offers a different, more effective approach based on the premise that if you want more sales, stop 'selling' and focus on building long-term, profitable relationships. Readers will learn to avoid cold calling and generate meetings; develop relationships built on trust to maintain customer loyalty; sell services in ways clients appreciate; sustain long-term sales growth and incorporate social media into an effective business development strategy. With a foreword from legendary sales expert and bestselling author Richard Denny, Principled Selling helps anyone involved in selling to align his or her techniques with customer expectations to get people to buy over and over again.
Book Synopsis A Very Principled Boy by : Mark A. Bradley
Download or read book A Very Principled Boy written by Mark A. Bradley and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Duncan Chaplin Lee was a Rhodes Scholar, patriot, and descendent of one of America's most distinguished families -- and possibly the best-placed mole ever to infiltrate U.S. intelligence operations. In A Very Principled Boy intelligence expert and former CIA officer Mark A. Bradley traces the tangled roots of Lee's betrayal and reveals his harrowing struggle to stay one step ahead of America's spy hunters during and after World War II. Exposed to leftist politics while studying at Oxford, Lee became a committed, albeit covert, member of the Communist Party. After following William "Wild Bill Donovan to the newly formed Office of Strategic Services, Lee rose quickly through the ranks of the U.S. intelligence service -- and just as quickly gained value as a Communist spy. As one of the chief aides to the head of the OSS, Lee was uniquely well placed to pass sensitive information to his Soviet handlers, including the likely timeframe of the D-Day invasion and the names of OSS personnel under investigation for suspected communist affiliations. In 1945, one of Lee's former handlers confessed to the FBI and named Lee as a Soviet agent. For the next thirteen years, J. Edgar Hoover would tirelessly, but futilely, attempt to prove Lee's guilt. Despite being accused of treason in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee, the increasingly paranoid Lee miraculously escaped again and again. In a move to atone for what he had done, Lee later became a Cold Warrior in China, fighting Mao Zedong's communists. He died a free but conflicted man. In A Very Principled Boy, Bradley weaves a fast-paced cat-and-mouse tale of misguided idealism, high treason, and belated redemption. Drawing on Lee's letters and thousands of previously unreleased CIA, FBI, and State Department records, Bradley tells the unlikely story of a spy who chose his conscience over his country and its dark consequences.
Book Synopsis Principled Pragmatism in Mexico's Foreign Policy by : Rafael Velazquez-Flores
Download or read book Principled Pragmatism in Mexico's Foreign Policy written by Rafael Velazquez-Flores and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-07-16 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores Mexico's foreign policy using the ‘principled pragmatism’ approach. It describes and explains main external actions from the country’s independence in the nineteenth century to Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s administration. The principal argument is that Mexico has resorted to principled pragmatism due to geographic, historical, economic, security, and political reasons. In other words, the nation uses this instrument to deal with the United States, defend national interests, appease domestic groups, and promote economic growth. The key characteristics of Mexico’s principled pragmatism in foreign policy are that the nation projects a double-edged diplomacy to cope with external and domestic challenges at the same time. This policy is mainly for domestic consumption, and it is also linked to the type of actors that are involved in the decision-making process and to the kind of topics included in the agenda. This principled pragmatism is related to the nature of the intention: principism is deliberate and pragmatism is forced; and this policy is used to increase Mexico’s international bargaining power.
Book Synopsis Principled Engagement by : Morten B. Pedersen
Download or read book Principled Engagement written by Morten B. Pedersen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the best way to promote human rights in grossly repressive states when neither sanctions nor trade and investment have much effect? This book examines the concept of Principled Engagement as an often overlooked alternative strategy for alleviating human rights violations and improving the framework of human rights protection. Beginning with an explanation of the concept and a comparison with the alternatives of Ostracism and Business as Usual, the book argues that Principled Engagement deserves greater attention and explains how it works and what factors contribute to its success or failure. Case studies provide a rare scholarly inquiry into the effectiveness of the basic underlying ideas and analyse and assess specific cases, including from China, Burma, Zimbabwe and Liberia. Written by leading academics and practitioners, the book takes a general, comparative approach to human rights policy that teases out broad lessons about what works. Ultimately, this is a study that challenges scholars and practitioners alike to take a fresh look at how human rights are promoted internationally.

Book Synopsis Principled Resistance to ECtHR Judgments - A New Paradigm? by : Marten Breuer
Download or read book Principled Resistance to ECtHR Judgments - A New Paradigm? written by Marten Breuer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-17 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book analyses the position of the ECtHR which has been more and more confronted with criticism coming from the national sphere, including the judiciary. This culminated in constitutional court judgments declaring a particular ECtHR judgment non-executable, for reasons of constitutional law. Existing scholarship does not differentiate enough between cases of mere political unwillingness to execute an ECtHR judgment and cases where execution is blocked for legal reasons (mainly of constitutional law nature). At the same time, the discussion under EU law on national/constitutional identity limiting the reach of the former has been only loosely linked with the ECHR context. This book presents a new dogmatic concept - 'principled resistance' - to analyse such cases. Taking up examples from the national level, it strives to find out whether the legal reasoning behind 'principled resistance' shows enough commonalities in order to qualify such incidents as expression of a 'new paradigm'.
Book Synopsis Principled Governance by : David S. Fushtey
Download or read book Principled Governance written by David S. Fushtey and published by IAP. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Principled Governance when Everything Matters is an essential handbook for Directors, Managers, Counsellors and Students, indeed for everyone challenged to answer the question: How do we get along? The democratic world has taken half a millennium to shift its governing principle from the power of might to the rule of law. Through centuries of errors (and trials), we have created a framework of regulation, accountability, and oversight, which, though now widely practiced, is still poorly understood. Principled Governance when Everything Matters is a guided tour of the field, led by an expert who spent three decades at boardroom and council tables, advising directors and managers in business and civil society. This accessible volume will be invaluable to all practioners providing context and analysis that will help them better understand their responsibilities and execute their duties. Principled Governance is based on David S. Fushtey’s comprehensive academic text The Director and Manager: Law and Governance in a Digital Age – Machiavelli Had It Easy. That 1000-page volume has been reviewed and revised by a team of subject-area experts, who have drawn out the most useful, relevant – often crucial - lessons. The result is an engaging guide for students of business, civil society, and law, and for the continuing education of directors and the executives who advise them. Endorsements for Principled Governance When Everything Matters: "In this short but idea-filled work, Fushtey argues for a re-think of how we understand and do ‘governance.’ In our digital age, where “everything matters,” governance requires both broad inputs and a recognition of wide implications. We must respect complexity and embrace ambiguity. Good decisions depend upon a diversity of perspectives and hard-edged questioning. Fushtey demands humility and civility in decision-making, but in tough-minded ways. Above all, Fushtey urges, effective governance is about openness to learning. That openness demands attention to the qualities of process, of individual behaviour and of information. An immensely practical work, this book is also an ethical challenge and a work replete with human decency." Stephen J. Toope, University of Cambridge "This succinct distillation of David Fushtey’s extensive academic work will benefit practitioners of governance at all levels. The twelve essential principles he sets out are sensible and actionable." Suromitra Sanatani Independent Director "Principled Governance when Everything Matters is one of those rare business books that combines solid academic research with practical experience and relevant examples from the business and political world. Fushtey demonstrates a mastery of several disciplines, and an ability to distill it all down into practical advice that directors and others in similar roles can put to immediate use." Karl Moore McGill University
Book Synopsis A Principled Constitution? by : Steven D. Smith
Download or read book A Principled Constitution? written by Steven D. Smith and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-09-02 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the United States Constitution the embodiment of certain principles? The four authors of this book for a variety of reasons, and with somewhat different emphases, believe the answer is no. Those who authored the Constitution no doubt all believed in liberty, equality, and, with caveats, republican self-government values, or if you will, principles. But they had different conceptions of those principles and what those principles entailed for constituting a government. Although the Constitution they created reflected, in some sense, their principles, the Constitution itself was a specific list of do’s and don’ts that its creators hoped would gain the allegiance of the newly independent and sovereign states. And, for somewhat different reasons, the authors of this book believe that was a good thing.
Book Synopsis Principled Labor Law by : Sergio Gamonal C.
Download or read book Principled Labor Law written by Sergio Gamonal C. and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-06 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gig economy, precarious work, and nonstandard employment have forced labor law scholars to rethink their discipline. Classical remedies for unequal power, capabilities approaches, "third way" market regulation, and laissez-faire all now vie for attention - at least in English. Despite a deep history of labor activism, Latin American scholarship has had scant presence in these debates. This book introduces to an English-language audience another approach: principled labor law, based on Latin American perspectives, using a jurisprudential method focused on worker protection. The authors apply this methodology to the least likely case of labor-protective jurisprudence in the industrialized world: the United States. In doing so, Gamonal and Rosado focus on the Thirteenth Amendment as a labor-protective constitutional provision, the National Labor Relations Act, and the Fair Labor Standards Act. This book shows how principled labor law can provide a clear and simple method for consistent, labor-protective jurisprudence in the United States and beyond.
