El Gerente de la Milla Extra

Autor: Joseph Cox

Número de Páginas: 206

Si usted es un gerente, es posible que se pregunte cómo su comportamiento hacia el personal afecta en la productividad y en la contribución de su departamento a las ganancias. Si es así, este libro es para usted. El autor tuvo muchos trabajos detestables. Los gerentes apáticos empeoraron las malas condiciones. Él estaba tan preocupado que hizo que pasara la mayor parte de su vida adulta descifrando las métricas (resultado neto) del mundo real, derivadas del comportamiento de los jefes hacia las personas bajo su cuidado. La ausencia de rendición de cuentas en el maltrato al personal con la consecuente baja productividad ha sido la norma universal. Aun así, hay muchos gerentes que actúan en beneficio de sus colaboradores. ¿Qué diferencia medible produce? Es difícil conseguir métricas sobre insumos intangibles, razón por la cual este libro abarca casi cuatro décadas. Hay muchas agujas conductuales en el pajar corporativo. Para aislar aquellas que aumentan la productividad y las ganancias, el autor midió un rango amplio de insumos conductuales y su impacto. Los estados financieros auditados en el transcurso de los proyectos de investigación son evidencia empírica de...

How Behavior Spreads

Autor: Damon Centola

Número de Páginas: 308

A new, counterintuitive theory for how social networks influence the spread of behavior New social movements, technologies, and public-health initiatives often struggle to take off, yet many diseases disperse rapidly without issue. Can the lessons learned from the viral diffusion of diseases improve the spread of beneficial behaviors and innovations? How Behavior Spreads presents over a decade of original research examining how changes in societal behavior—in voting, health, technology, and finance—occur and the ways social networks can be used to influence how they propagate. Damon Centola's startling findings show that the same conditions that accelerate the viral expansion of an epidemic unexpectedly inhibit the spread of behaviors. How Behavior Spreads is a must-read for anyone interested in how the theory of social networks can transform our world.

Exchanging Writing, Exchanging Cultures

Autor: Sarah Warshauer Freedman

Número de Páginas: 300

What can teachers in British and American inner-city schools learn from each other about literacy training? To explore this question, Sarah Warshauer Freedman and her British colleagues set up a writing exchange that matched classes from four middle and high schools in the San Francisco Bay area with their London equivalents. Exchanging Writing, Exchanging Cultures offers concrete lessons to school reformers, policymakers, and classroom teachers about the value and effectiveness of different approaches to teaching writing. Freedman goes beyond the specific subject matter of this study, looking anew at Vygotsky's and Bakhtin's theories of social interaction and addressing the larger questions of the relationship between culture and education.

Where there's a Will... Motivation and Volition in College Teaching and Learning

Autor: Michael Theall , John M. Keller

Número de Páginas: 128

Motivating students – a primary goal of education - is complex, to say the least. This issue focuses on a model for motivation, volition, and performance that acknowledges the importance of volition as action subsequent to motivation: action that leads to improved performance. This MVP model provides a framework for considering various teaching and learning topics and can be extended into other areas such as professional development. While models such as MVP are particularly helpful in establishing the relationships among constructs and in explaining theoretical bases, integration and application of such models are equally important. This issue discusses applications of the model and provide concrete ideas for integrating it into ongoing teaching practice. This is the 152nd volume of this Jossey-Bass higher education series. It offers a comprehensive range of ideas and techniques for improving college teaching based on the experience of seasoned instructors and the latest findings of educational and psychological researchers.

Taming Intuition

Autor: Kevin Arceneaux , Ryan J. Vander Wielen

Número de Páginas: 265

The success of democratic governance hinges on an electorate's ability to reward elected officials who act faithfully and punish those who do not. Yet there is considerable variation among voters in their ability to objectively evaluate representatives' performance. In this book the authors develop a theoretical model, the Intuitionist Model of Political Reasoning, which posits that this variation across voters is the result of individual differences in the predisposition to reflect on and to override partisan impulses. Individuals differ in partisan intuitions resulting from the strength of their attachments to parties, as well as the degree to which they are willing to engage in the cognitively taxing process of evaluating those intuitions. The balance of these forces - the strength of intuitions and the willingness to second guess one's self - determines the extent to which individuals update their assessments of political parties and elected officials in a rational manner.

Nail it Today With Both Hands

Autor: Joe Cox

Número de Páginas: 193

Would you have enjoyed being a captive anthropoid in a zoo 100 years ago? Today, modern zoological parks simulate the natural habitats of the species in their sanctuaries. Gorillas and chimps thrive and reproduce. Many are released back into the wild. But in the corporate world management doesn’t seem to know the normal conditions for Homo sapiens to perform at his best, and sadly don’t care to learn. Anthropology, biology, psychology and sociology each teach us what Homo sapiens need to flourish. It is an enriched habitat that satisfies the needs and desires of hominids as they hunt and gather and compete for territory in the Corporate Zoo. Homo sapiens have two motivators that determine the effort they will put into work and how long they will continue doing it. Managers must sustain those motivations - with a two-handed approach that leaves no doubt that it produces profit. At a minimum, readers will figure out what they need from their bosses to fly after their goals. Managers will learn what drives team members and that they are dufuses if they don’t provide it. Companies will rethink the order of their priorities if they want to be more profitable. The tools included...

The São Paulo Neo-Avant-Garde

Autor: Mari Rodríguez Binnie

Número de Páginas: 249

How artists challenged a military dictatorship through mass print technologies in 1970s and 1980s São Paulo. Throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s, during Brazil's military dictatorship, artists shifted their practices to critique the government and its sanitized images of Brazil, its use of torture, and its targeted persecutions. Mari Rodríguez Binnie's The São Paulo Neo-Avant-Garde examines these artworks and their engagement with politics and mainstream art institutions and practices. As Binnie skillfully shows, artists appropriated processes like photocopy, offset lithography, and thermal and heliographic printing, making newly available technologies of mass production foundational to their work of resistance against both the dictatorship and the established art world. Often working collaboratively, these artists established alternative networks of exchange locally and internationally to circulate their work. As democracy was reestablished in Brazil, and in the decades that followed, their works largely fell out of sight. Here, in the first English-language book to focus entirely on conceptual practices in São Paulo in the 1970s and 1980s, Binnie unearths a scene...
