Download or read book Everybody Matters written by Bob Chapman and published by Portfolio. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Bob Chapman, CEO of the $1.7 billion manufacturing company Barry-Wehmiller, is on a mission to change the way businesses treat their employees.” – Inc. Magazine Starting in 1997, Bob Chapman and Barry-Wehmiller have pioneered a dramatically different approach to leadership that creates off-the-charts morale, loyalty, creativity, and business performance. The company utterly rejects the idea that employees are simply functions, to be moved around, "managed" with carrots and sticks, or discarded at will. Instead, Barry-Wehmiller manifests the reality that every single person matters, just like in a family. That’s not a cliché on a mission statement; it’s the bedrock of the company’s success. During tough times a family pulls together, makes sacrifices together, and endures short-term pain together. If a parent loses his or her job, a family doesn’t lay off one of the kids. That’s the approach Barry-Wehmiller took when the Great Recession caused revenue to plunge for more than a year. Instead of mass layoffs, they found creative and caring ways to cut costs, such as asking team members to take a month of unpaid leave. As a result, Barry-Wehmiller emerged from the downturn with higher employee morale than ever before. It’s natural to be skeptical when you first hear about this approach. Every time Barry-Wehmiller acquires a company that relied on traditional management practices, the new team members are skeptical too. But they soon learn what it’s like to work at an exceptional workplace where the goal is for everyone to feel trusted and cared for—and where it’s expected that they will justify that trust by caring for each other and putting the common good first. Chapman and coauthor Raj Sisodia show how any organization can reject the traumatic consequences of rolling layoffs, dehumanizing rules, and hypercompetitive cultures. Once you stop treating people like functions or costs, disengaged workers begin to share their gifts and talents toward a shared future. Uninspired workers stop feeling that their jobs have no meaning. Frustrated workers stop taking their bad days out on their spouses and kids. And everyone stops counting the minutes until it’s time to go home. This book chronicles Chapman’s journey to find his true calling, going behind the scenes as his team tackles real-world challenges with caring, empathy, and inspiration. It also provides clear steps to transform your own workplace, whether you lead two people or two hundred thousand. While the Barry-Wehmiller way isn’t easy, it is simple. As the authors put it: "Everyone wants to do better. Trust them. Leaders are everywhere. Find them. People achieve good things, big and small, every day. Celebrate them. Some people wish things were different. Listen to them. Everybody matters. Show them."

Book Synopsis Boards and Asking Styles by : Brian Saber
Download or read book Boards and Asking Styles written by Brian Saber and published by Asking Matters. This book was released on 2020-11 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A STRONGER BOARD LEADS TO GREATER IMPACT! Your organization cannot achieve its vision without a strong board. A strong board starts with bringing on the right people, but then it's about working together effectively, understanding leadership and board dynamics, supporting board members appropriately so you can do your best work, having you fundraise in a way that suits who you are, and more. In his second book, Brian Saber uses the Asking Styles lens to help you build your board's strength. He'll help you understand how you and your fellow board members operate individually and collectively, what strengths you bring to the table, and how to employ those to best advantage. In these incredibly challenging times, good board leadership and resource development are more important than ever, and yet, in many ways, more difficult. COVID-19 has caused an unprecedented set of challenges in the modern nonprofit sector. Most boards cannot meet in person to conduct their work. They are left to manage the executive director remotely. Recruiting new board members is difficult for many reasons. On the fundraising side, people are unsure about their futures and anxious about money. Meeting in person is extremely limited. There are far fewer opportunities for donors to see programs live and in action. And, for the first time, a wide range of organizations has had to trim their fundraising staffs. Under these circumstances, it's even more important to understand how the Asking Styles can help you work productively and develop your organization's resources. If you're like most board members, you've come to your current board with very little (or no) board experience and, even if you have experience, with very little board training. The same is true for your fellow board members. The more you learn, and the more you can share with your fellow board members, the stronger you will be individually and as a team. And today that's more important than ever.
Download or read book Gillian Laub: Family Matters written by and published by Aperture. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gillian Laub's photographs of her family from the past twenty years, now collected in one volume, explore the ways society's biggest questions are revealed in our most intimate relationships. Family Matters zeroes in on the artist's family as an example of the way Donald Trump's knack for sowing discord and division has impacted communities, individuals, and households across the country. As Laub explains, "I began to unpack my relationship to my relatives--which turned out to be much more indicative of my relationship to the outside world than I had ever thought, and the key to exploring questions I had about the effects of wealth, vanity, childhood, aging, fragility, political conflict, religious traditions, and mortality." These issues became tangible in 2016, when Laub and her parents found themselves on opposing sides of the most divisive presidential election in recent US history; and further exacerbated in the lead-up to the 2020 election, in the wake of a global pandemic and protests in support of Black Lives Matter. Family Matters reveals Laub's willingness to confront ideas of privilege and unity, and to expose the fault lines and vulnerabilities of her relatives and herself. Ultimately, Family Matters celebrates the resiliency and power of family--including the family we choose--in the face of divisive rhetoric. In doing so, it holds up a highly personalized mirror to the social and political divides in the United States today.

Book Synopsis Immigration and Membership Politics in Western Europe by : Sara Wallace Goodman
Download or read book Immigration and Membership Politics in Western Europe written by Sara Wallace Goodman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are traditional nation-states newly defining membership and belonging? In the twenty-first century, several Western European states have attached obligatory civic integration requirements as conditions for citizenship and residence, which include language proficiency, country knowledge and value commitments for immigrants. This book examines this membership policy adoption and adaptation through both medium-N analysis and three paired comparisons to argue that while there is convergence in instruments, there is also significant divergence in policy purpose, design and outcomes. To explain this variation, this book focuses on the continuing, dynamic interaction of institutional path dependency and party politics. Through paired comparisons of Austria and Denmark, Germany and the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands and France, this book illustrates how variations in these factors - as well as a variety of causal processes - produce divergent civic integration policy strategies that, ultimately, preserve and anchor national understandings of membership.

Book Synopsis Multisite Churches by : Dustin L. Slaton
Download or read book Multisite Churches written by Dustin L. Slaton and published by Kregel Ministry. This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The multisite church model has been consistently challenged by those who deem it unbiblical and incompatible with God's design for the local church, but does Scripture support this claim? In Multisite Churches, pastor and church vitalist Dustin Slaton posits that congregational polity is compatible with the multisite model, dismantling critiques with both urgency and care for the local church's future. At a time when church fostering and church adoption are predicted to increase significantly, the multisite church model is a solution that can support the adoption of churches. Bringing in personal experience and erudite research, Slaton heuristically demonstrates a methodological approach of ecclesiology with a theological framework for the multisite model, fairly addressing both critics and supporters. Multisite Churches is a resource for biblical ecclesiology with wide-ranging benefits for both clergy and congregant. Those prayerfully discerning whether they can transition to a multisite church in a biblical way and those who are interested in the topic will benefit from the guidance and insight provided in this timely resource.
Book Synopsis The law of international organisations by : Nigel White
Download or read book The law of international organisations written by Nigel White and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a concise account of the principles and norms of international law applicable to the main-type of international organisation - the inter-governmental organisation (IGO). That law consists of principles and rules found in the founding documents of IGOs along with applicable principles and rules of international law. The book also identifies and analyses the law produced by IGOs, applied by them and, occasionally, enforced by them. There is a concentration upon the United Nations, as the paradigmatic IGO, not only upon the UN organisation headquartered in New York, but on other IGOs in the UN system (the specialised agencies such as the World Health Organisation).
