Book Synopsis Leadership through Collaboration by : Ann S. Ferren
Download or read book Leadership through Collaboration written by Ann S. Ferren and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2004-02-28 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is organized around 11 topics, including the skills and personal qualities needed to provide effective academic leadership; strengthening the infrastructure for academic affairs through strategic planning, facilities planning, and technology integration; the importance of developing new resources and linking them to academic priorities; academic entrepreneurship; assessing academic quality and improving programs and services; continuous improvement; the central importance of investing in the faculty; and improving academic decisions. The chief academic officer must be the voice for the campus's academic purposes and a source of energy in supporting the activities of others. Collaboration with colleagues across the institution is key to Ferren and Stanton's approach. Their experiences in administrative roles, ranging from department chair to provost, have provided them with the ability to conduct and utilize many studies, including budget adequacy modeling and salary equity studies. These are issues for which the authors have been responsible for implementation and decision-making, allowing them to understand that collaborative processes and partnerships-such as chairs with deans, deans with vice presidents, faculty with administrators, or the CAO with members of the president's cabinet—are as important as informed decision-making. Because CAOs are less likely to read what business officers and vice presidents for administration read, this book attempts to integrate differing institutional perspectives and explain processes and criteria. CAOs can tailor their decisions to institution circumstances and solve problems with greater insight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is June 2021 in Woodview Terraces in Calgary, a quiet neighborhood divided into two parts: one for the wealthy and one for the less fortunate. As the COVID pandemic rages on, its residents are doing their best to cope with uncertainty, lockdowns, and constant change. With more time on their hands, the residents have switched their focus from socializing and commuting to work to sprucing their gardens, working from home, and adopting dogs. Each neighbor, with different personalities and quirks, has rescued an animal to ease pandemic woes. But there is only one problem. Their shared interest in dogs has not only united them, but also created unforeseen conflicts. But as the economy starts to surge to life again, neighborhood gossip and unexpected canine conduct escalates discord between the neighbors, resulting in a tragedy that changes everything. Leashes, Love, and Lies is a riveting tale of the joys, the unexpected, and the heartbreak of dog adoption during the COVID pandemic.

Download or read book Pitfalls written by Samson N. Gitau and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pitfalls: A Case for College Ministry by Samson Gitau points out that College ministry is the new volunteer for Church growth and leadership development. The glaring dearth of young adults in Church today is symptomatic of Church decline. Gitau compares the Church's failure to invest in young adults to the foolish builder who built his house upon the sand with dire consequences when finally the rains and storms attacked it. Investment in young adults is an asset and never a liability to the Church. Tapping on his experience of more than ten years in college ministry, Gitau presents a variety of college ministry models and programs. College student voices presented in this book allow students say firsthand what college ministry means to them. Expostulating on his personal experience, Gitau exposes pitfalls to be avoided for effective college ministry.

Book Synopsis The Academic Sabbatical by : Timothy Sibbald
Download or read book The Academic Sabbatical written by Timothy Sibbald and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Academic Sabbatical: A Voyage of Discovery is a collection of narratives that reveals how important sabbaticals are to faculty and, by extension, to higher education. This in-depth look at the diverse experiences and perspectives provides a wealth of evidence that sabbaticals are instrumental in increasing productivity in terms of research and knowledge dissemination. These periods of self-directed and focused work enable scholars to restore their academic energies, leading to enhanced engagement with their programs, graduate students, and intellectual exchange among peers. Although not without challenges and tensions, sabbaticals help academics build stronger and deeper connections. While this book stands alone in promoting the richness and potential of the sabbatical as a structural feature of the academy, it is a great follow-up to The Academic Gateway and Beyond the Academic Gateway, which respectively discuss the tenure-track and tenure experience. This book is the third in the Lives in the Canadian Academic Landscape triptych.

Book Synopsis Lessons in Simply Being by : Carol O. Eckerman
Download or read book Lessons in Simply Being written by Carol O. Eckerman and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lessons in Simply Being is the memoir of a recovering control addict who finds meaning in life after the collapse of all she had clung to. Plunged into despair, she calls upon the skills honed in her thirty-four years as a behavioral scientist and professor at Duke University. She searches for order, change, and meaning as she walks through much of what she most feared (divorce, aloneness, physical disability, her mother’s dementia and dying, and her children’s struggles with cancer). She discovers a mysterious loving presence that permeates her world, even its darkest corners. As she moves deeper into this unknown faith territory and lives what she had never imagined possible, love trumps fear. A troubled mother-daughter relationship transforms into one of mutual mothering. She moves toward understanding, forgiveness, and intimacy with the man whose actions triggered her despair. Her dives into tumult awaken her to the peace within and to a single new lesson to live by: simply be. She is discovering her place within the flow of Spirit that permeates all of life.

Book Synopsis Maternity Leave by : Victoria Gordon
Download or read book Maternity Leave written by Victoria Gordon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be a successful working parent? And how do working parents cope in the United States, the only developed nation with no paid parental leave requirement? Despite some positive advancement in the voluntary adoption of paid parental leave, many organizations over the past 25 years have instead decreased paid leave benefits offered to employees in the United States, choosing instead to let unpaid leave under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) serve in its place. This regression in practice is perhaps the greatest unintended consequence of FMLA and surely was not the intent of Congress. Maternity Leave: Policy and Practice, Second Edition approaches parental leave from a variety of perspectives: legal, political, social, institutional, organizational, and, most importantly, from the personal perspectives of the women and men interviewed expressly for the book. This second edition offers two new chapters: the first puts the issue of maternity leave within the context of work–life balance issues, and the second explores case studies from states, cities, and private organizations. Incorporating new census data, related reports, and academic studies, authors Victoria Gordon and Beth M. Rauhaus utilize relevant and cutting-edge research in their exploration of parental leave, and they enrich this research with the individual stories of ordinary working parents as well as those who choose not to have children. Assuming no prior specialized knowledge, this book can be assigned on a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses in politics, public policy, public administration, gender studies, and human resource management, and will equally be of interest to parents, policy makers, and C-suite managers.
