How Are We Doing?: A 1-hour Guide To Evaluating Your Performance As A Nonprofit Board

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Until now, almost all books dealing with board evaluation have had an air of unreality about them. The perplexing graphs, the matrix boxes, the overlong questionnaires. It took only a thumbing through to render a judgment: `My board`s going to use this? Get real!` Enter Gayle Gifford. Inhale the fresh air. See the ground break. Watch the clutter clear. This nationally respected author and board consultant has pioneered an elegantly simple and enjoyable way for boards to evaluate and improve their overall performance. It all comes down to answering a few dozen straightforward questions - questions that, as Graham Greene would say, get to `the heart of the matter.` -Have we set a goal for the good we want to do? -How well do we know our community`s needs? -Do we know if our programs are having an impact? -Do we ask the right financial questions? -Do we govern and resist the temptation to manage? -Do we recruit the board members we need? -Have we decided the board`s role… [detailed...]

How Art Made the World: A Journey to the Origins of Human Creativity

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: By the charismatic host of the PBS miniseries `How Art Made the World,` a compelling and gorgeously illustrated account of how humans made art and how art makes us human. In the late nineteenth century, the first discoveries of prehistoric painting were greeted with incredulity. How could there have been such deft and skillful artists in the world over 30,000 years ago? Noted art historian Nigel Spivey begins with this puzzle to explore the record of humanity`s artistic endeavors and their impact on our own development. Embarking with the motto, `Everyone is an artist,` Spivey takes us on a quest to find out when and how we humans began to explore the deepest questions of life, using visual artforms. With the help of vivid color illustrations of some of the world`s most moving and enduring works of art, Spivey shows how that art has been used as a means of mass persuasion, essential to the creation of hierarchical societies, and finally, the extent to which art has… [detailed...]

How Breakthroughs Happen: The Surprising Truth About How Companies Innovate

Description: Lessons from Famous `Invention Factories` Past and Present Did you know that the incandescent lightbulb first emerged some thirty years before Thomas Edison famously `turned night into day`? Or that Henry Ford`s revolutionary assembly line came from an unlikely blend of observations from Singer sewing machines, meatpacking, and Campbell`s Soup? In this fascinating study of innovation, engineer and social scientist Andrew Hargadon argues that our romantic notions about innovation asinvention are actually undermining our ability to pursue breakthrough innovations. Based on ten years of study into the origins of historic inventions and modern innovations from the lightbulb to the transistor to the Reebok Pump athletic shoe, How Breakthroughs Happen takes us beyond the simple recognition that revolutionary innovations do not result from flashes of brilliance by lone inventors or organizations.

It discusses preconditions, political breakthroughs, and alternative reform programs. Three major chapters deal with the deregulation of prices and trade, price stabilization, and privatization. Early radical reform made output decline the least. Social developments have been perplexing but mixed. The building of democracy and the establishment of the rule of law have been far less successful. International assistance has been limited but helpful. This region has now become highly dynamic, but corruption remains problematic. [detailed...]

How Caregiving Affects Development: Psychological Implications for Child, Adolescent, and Adult Caregivers

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: As recent advances in medicine contribute to people living longer and living with chronic illness in the home, the role of the family caregiver has become more common. Furthermore, due to varying family structures and living situations it is not always the parent or adult child who takes on the caregiver role. The traditional role of the adult caregiver increasingly falls on the shoulders of children, adolescents, and emerging adults. Also, in cases where parents are unable to take care of their children, grandparents take on the role of adult caregiver for their grandchildren. A caregiving role at any point in life may affect a person`s development and add stressors, but also may create rewards that influence the caregiver`s identity and well-being. How Caregiving Affects Development: Psychological Implications for Child, Adolescent, and Adult Caregivers examines these effects using a lifespan development framework. Each chapter presents theory and empirical research on caregiving… [detailed...]

How China Grows: Investment, Finance, and Reform

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Although China`s economy has grown spectacularly over the last twenty-five years, economists disagree about how the Chinese economy is likely to fare in the short- and long-term future. Is China`s growth sustainable, or has China relied too much on investment, which is subject to diminishing returns, and not enough on technological change? The first book on the relation between investment, finance, and growth in China, How China Grows dismisses this concern. James Riedel, Jing Jin, and Jian Gao argue that investment has not only been the engine of growth, but also the main source of technological progress and structural change in China. What threatens future growth instead, the authors argue, are the weaknesses of China`s financial system that undermine efficiency in investment allocation. Financial-sector reform and development are necessary, not only for sustaining long-term growth, but also for maintaining macroeconomic stability. Although it includes some… [detailed...]

Description: The role we each play in our own downfalls create the profound--and profoundly entertaining--basis for this series of linked `meditations` as the author of The Abilene Paradox takes another irreverent look at the nature of life on the job. In this work, Harvey explores the ethical, moral, and spiritual dilemmas we all face in the modern world of work. But he does it in a most unconventional way. His is an approach that mixes equal parts humor, philosophy, and insight to make us laugh, think, and examine organizational behavior in a brand new light. The twelve essays themselves carry such spirited titles as `What If I Really Believe this Stuff,` `On Tooting Your Own Horn,` and `Ode to Waco.` Altogether, it`s an enthralling collection of wise and witty parables that illustrate the redemptive value of the truth in a voice that is ultimately understanding of human shortcomings.
