This book explains why leaders need support for self-insight and professional growth in today's business environment. It explores dimensions of effective leadership in light of business, technological, and economic trends. Focusing on the importance of leaders developing accurate self-understanding, the book defines self-insight, outlines the meaning of internal strength and resilience for self-regulation, and considers how leaders attain a meaningful and realistic sense of self-identity.   This volume illustrates ways organizations support these psychological processes. Leadership development is viewed as a comprehensive, continuous process that includes evaluating organizational needs and individual competencies, setting goals for career development and performance improvement, offering needed training and growth experiences, providing feedback, and tracking change in behavior and performance over time. It describes how leaders react to feedback and how 360-degree feedback survey methods and executive coaching help leaders attain and apply self-insight to enhance their performance. In addition, this book considers challenges and opportunities for leadership development, including how leaders overcome career barriers and become continuous learners.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49509293195537,"sku":"GOR005938802","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50308870930705,"sku":"CIN080583852XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52104966799633,"sku":"CIN080583852XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52538376945937,"sku":"NLS9780805838527","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/080583852X.jpg?v=1750978924"},{"product_id":"employees-careers-and-job-creation-book-manuel-london-9780470547663","title":"Employees, Careers, and Job Creation","description":"This is a new age for both workers and companies. Organizations have attempted to downsize, reengineer, or restructure their way to greatness only to find that such dramatic change efforts fail to produce real long-term economic growth. In the process, these changes have wreaked havoc on the jobs, careers, and lives of employees everywhere. Yet, there are some workers and companies breaking new ground in finding successful alternatives to employee displacement and downsizing--in organizations that have discovered new and creative ways to link employee development and job creation with organizational economic growth.   In this new volume of the Professional Practice Series--the first to be published by Jossey-Bass--Manuel London brings together a group of research and practice experts to show how such leading companies as AT\u0026amp;T have responded to demands for change with programs that enhance career opportunities for individuals and stimulate organizational growth. In thirteen original chapters, London and his contributors detail how industrial and organizational psychologists, human resource professionals, and consultants have created innovative human resource development and training programs. These programs go beyond the traditional emphasis on interest surveys, career tracks, and interview skills to train employees in the abilities that actually create new jobs within organizations--skills such as entrepreneurial aptitude, work flexibility, and a value-added orientation.   Employees, Careers, and Job Creation shows how to predict the career opportunities that will open up in an organization's future, assess employee skills, develop training goals, and overcome such barriers to success as employee resistance to learning. It also offers examples of how organization and community-based support programs can assist displaced workers in the event layoffs prove inevitable.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49729756922129,"sku":"NGR9780470547663","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52482585821457,"sku":"NLS9780470547663","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0470547669.jpg?v=1751229100"},{"product_id":"job-feedback-book-manuel-london-9780805844955","title":"Job Feedback","description":"This book demonstrates how managers can be more effective in gathering and processing performance information about subordinates, making ratings on performance appraisals and multisource feedback surveys, and feeding back this information in a way that is nonthreatening and leads to productive changes in behavior.

Industrial and organizational psychologists devise systematic methods to remove human errors in judgment, such as biases and stereotypes. However many decisions about people are not made by experts using standard procedures. Even when they are, human judgment is unavoidable.    This book examines the social psychological dynamics of person perception that underlie how people evaluate others in organizations. It contains original articles from leading experts in social, industrial, and organizational psychology. The book begins by examining basic principles and processes of social cognition and person perception, such as schemas, stereotypes, automatic\/mindless information processing, the perceiver's motivation and affect, and situational conditions. It then applies these ideas to key areas of business operations.    Helping readers understand and develop ways to improve the way people assess and make decisions about others, this book:   * covers the interview, executive promotion decisions, and assessment centers;   * examines performance appraisals and multisource (360 degree) feedback ratings;   * addresses leadership cognitions, identifying training needs, coaching, and managing problem employees; and  * includes chapters on cultural sensitivity, negotiations, group dynamics, and virtual teams.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50161954816273,"sku":"GOR006554770","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52538256982289,"sku":"NLS9780805836127","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0521682053_c79fcbd1-4068-4593-8110-c14bc307160b.jpg?v=1751010517"},{"product_id":"call-of-the-wild-book-earle-hitchner-9780816718641","title":"The Call of the Wild","description":"Priscilla Boos knows what it is like to have her life suddenly turned upside down. She entered a dark, lonely place where she was gripped by debilitating fear. But somehow she found her way back-stronger, hopeful, and more faith-filled than ever before. In her inspirational memoir, Priscilla shares the story of her emotional journey through terminal illness with her husband, Bill, and her eventual return to a new life. Priscilla's husband, Bill, was no slouch. Two years after they were married, he tackled a bank robber and held him until police arrived. Even so, when Bill began experiencing unusual symptoms in 2004, it sparked an unbelievably challenging journey for not only him, but Priscilla as well. Unprepared for the road ahead lined with pain, grief, and unexpected moments, Priscilla details how she eventually emerged a stronger, more self-confident person after Bill's death, providing inspiration to others as she fights to rejoin the living, one small step at a time.

Drawing on original cases and data from interviews with people who faced different types of career barriers, the author describes how people react to, and make sense of, unfortunate events in their lives--and career barriers when they occur. He considers how and why some people cope constructively while others don't, and explores how resilience and support from others help get us through tough times and emerge with a sense of renewal and career growth. He suggests how we can manage career barriers and prepare for--or even prevent--career barriers through foresight, planning, and education. These methods also suggest what managers and organizations should do to help their employees who are or may soon be facing career barriers.    People can learn while facing the stress and self-questioning that accompany career barriers, but this is not an easy process. Learning requires considerable self-understanding and environmental support. The organization can play a vital role in limiting people's pain and creating opportunities. However, despite generous severance packages and outplacement services, many organizations have been little help to people who lose their jobs, suffer job stress, face unreasonably demanding bosses, or suffer from physical handicaps or chronic illnesses. Most of the burden falls on individuals and their families. Assistance can and should come from employers, government agencies, educational institutions, and religious organizations.    While the book focuses on the perspectives of people who have been or may be affected by career barriers, the material should be of interest to a broad range of readers --in particular, academics who study careers, practitioners in the fields of training and development, and government officials who set public policy that affects displaced workers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50368011534609,"sku":"CIN0805825800G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52150607642897,"sku":"NLS9780805825800","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0805825800.jpg?v=1751233820"},{"product_id":"oxford-handbook-of-lifelong-learning-book-manuel-london-9780197506707","title":"The Oxford Handbook of Lifelong Learning","description":"This Handbook provides a comprehensive and up-to-date examination of lifelong learning.

The book shows how human resource development can help by being action-oriented and tailored to the organization's changing requirements. Close working relationships are needed between human resource professionals and corporate executives to ensure that employee development policies support the organization and that organizational initiatives take human resource considerations into account. The authors, who have considerable management and administrative experience in dynamic organizations, show how to establish and refine human resource policies and programs to meet the needs of changing organizations.    The book begins by examining directions for organizational change, including mergers, downsizing, restructuring, expansion to new markets, and using new technologies. Individual motivation is described as a way of understanding employees' career goals in relation to changing organizational opportunities. New roles for managers are outlined, including the roles of educator, developer, experimenter, and facilitator. The book then outlines human resource programs that facilitate organizational transformation. These include ways to create a comprehensive human performance system that ties together personnel selection, training, goal-setting, appraisal, feedback, and compensation. Recognizing the changing demographics of the workforce, programs for managing diversity are reviewed. The book concludes with ways to diagnose organizational needs and establish new human resource and training strategies that create a continuous learning environment.

Industrial and organizational psychologists devise systematic methods to remove human errors in judgment, such as biases and stereotypes. However many decisions about people are not made by experts using standard procedures. Even when they are, human judgment is unavoidable.    This book examines the social psychological dynamics of person perception that underlie how people evaluate others in organizations. It contains original articles from leading experts in social, industrial, and organizational psychology. The book begins by examining basic principles and processes of social cognition and person perception, such as schemas, stereotypes, automatic\/mindless information processing, the perceiver's motivation and affect, and situational conditions. It then applies these ideas to key areas of business operations.    Helping readers understand and develop ways to improve the way people assess and make decisions about others, this book:   * covers the interview, executive promotion decisions, and assessment centers;   * examines performance appraisals and multisource (360 degree) feedback ratings;   * addresses leadership cognitions, identifying training needs, coaching, and managing problem employees; and  * includes chapters on cultural sensitivity, negotiations, group dynamics, and virtual teams.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52691737968913,"sku":"NLS9780805836110","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52995440378129,"sku":"NIN9780805836110","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780805836110.jpg?v=1762340421"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-manuel-london.oembed?page=2","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
