Taylor & Francis Ltd The Art of Compassionate Business
Book SynopsisThere are several well-ingrained assumptions regarding the dynamics of work and business activities, which can be refuted. Some examples of these widespread assumptions in business and work environments are employees being viewed as commodities, competitors perceived as threats, companies' resources seen as limited, and customers perceived as scarce and difficult. All this leads to the question: Is there a way to perform business activities more humanely?The second edition of this book challenges the reader to change the way they perform in business situations and become more focused on the human aspects of business activities. The users of this knowledge and those affected by them will undergo a profound transformation in the way they perform business activities. They will benefit from gradually testing and implementing the guidelines conveyed in this book, both in the business environment and in the workplace.

Taylor & Francis Organisational Development in Practice
Book SynopsisOrganisational Development in Practice: A Complexity Approach draws on conventional, critical and complexity thinking in relation to organisational development with a view to exploring whatâs useful and whatâs not.This book proffers an approach to organisational development that helps to develop, support, and maintain more democratic, collaborative, inclusive and sustainable ways of learning, working, and living.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Developing a Successful Subsidiary Strategy
Book SynopsisMost books on business strategy approach the subject from a corporate perspective, covering topics such as the vision for the business, the marketplace, competition and differentiation. However, the reality is that most managers work in sub-units or subsidiaries of the business and they are not involved in corporate strategy formulation. Their strategic concerns are with the positioning and future trajectory of their own units within the complex internal ecosystem in which they exist. If these units are to survive and grow, the middle managers responsible for them must plan their future, maximise their value-add and compete for resources within the internal market of their corporations. Such internal markets are becoming increasingly volatile due to general economic conditions but also given the questioning of globalisation and increasing corporate concerns about the frailties of international supply chains as brought into sharp focus by the COVID-19 crisis and the war in Ukraine. <Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Building Dynamic Teamwork in Schools
Book SynopsisHow can school leaders foster more effective teamwork and collaboration among teachers to improve instruction and culture? Brad Johnson and Robert Hinchliffe use the analogy of geese V formations to show what effective teamwork really looks like for success. They discuss roles and responsibilities--each goose has a role to play in the flock, from leader to follower; the importance of recognizing individual strengths and assigning roles accordingly; and the impact of each team member fulfilling their responsibilities. They also discuss the skills that the teams need in order to work together: working together to achieve a common goal; fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose; adaptability and flexibility; encouragement and support; trust and reliance; and leadership and followership. Each chapter is filled with strategies and examples for leaders in any setting and ends with a Sharpen Your Winning Edge section offering tips you can use immediately.Trade Review"Building Dynamic Teamwork in Schools strategically illustrates some of the best leadership lessons through the majestic flight of geese. Brad Johnson and Robert Hinchliffe invite leaders to witness the grace and beauty of geese while learning from their strengths. Throughout the book, readers can almost hear their melodious honking, and picture the synergy of their teamwork.Johnson and Hinchliffe provide practical strategies to help leaders enhance team chemistry and synergy, similar to the interactions of the geese. They offer practical tips and activities to unleash the potential of a team, and to elevate a group of coworkers to become a team of interconnected colleagues.I was inspired by Johnson and Hinchliffe’s explanation of the safe and supportive V formation and the merit of shared leadership and team building. Johnson and Hinchliffe eloquently outline this and many more lessons from nature."–Carrie Hruby, Ed.D., Superintendent and Author of Comfy Shoes and Keychains: Tips for Women in Leadership"Johnson and Hinchliffe captured the essence of synergy within transformational teams. They use the “V formation” as an exemplar for collective efficacy through the essential elements of communication, trust, collaboration, clear vision, and purpose. The 12 Principles outlined in this book are certain to create high-perforforming teams that produce high-performing students within high-performing schools."–Rachel Alex, Ed.D., Leadership Consultant and Coach"I found that Building Dynamic Teamwork in Schools is even more dynamic than its title presents! As a leader of the turnaround process for nearly a decade in the 5th largest school district within the United States of America I can, and frequently do, testify on the critical importance of a positive climate and culture with the entire team. When we do things with people, it sticks. When we do things to people, it doesn't. You can't optimize achievement if you do not build structures for positive relationships and school governance. It does not mean everyone will get their way, but it does mean that everyone has a seat at the table for their voice to be heard. Brad and Robert do a fantastic job laying out the "how" from the setting of norms to the outcomes, while simultaneously ensuring an entertainment value in his choice of stories and words.

Firstly, to establish the political and socio-cultural context in which disaster management leaders find themselves when seeking to protect citizens and minimise their suffering and vulnerability. Secondly, to provide an empirical account of how certain sociocultural influences affect their efficacy as leaders and that of their organisations, when seeking to improve well-being, provide protection, and reduce suffering and vulnerability.

Taylor & Francis Remotely Innovative
Book SynopsisIn the near term, the future will not belong to AI, but it will belong to the people who understand AI and how to strategically leverage its advantages.This book gives managers a new perspective on innovation and AIâallowing them to seize the future. As the pace of change has increased, organizations have needed to invest in innovation initiatives to survive and thrive. Up until now, these models have focused on co-location, which is no longer an option in some cases and may not be necessary for all, leaving organizations scrambling for options. Following up on their work in Managing at a Distance, Tom Coughlan and David Fogarty have developed the guide to help managers navigate the challenges of innovation in a world of hybrid and remote workers amidst the ever-increasing use of AI. They tackle questions such as the difference between creativity and innovation and how proximity (or lack of it) impacts teams, and present strategic, structural, and measurement solutions to maximize the role of AI in successful innovation while not minimizing the people who make up organizations.Platform-agnostic, this book will appeal to organizational leaders and managers who work with knowledge workers of any type, as well as students and instructors in graduate business courses, executive education, and corporate training programs.

Book SynopsisFrom authors used to operating between the commercial, public and independent sectors of the mixed cultural economy, Understanding Creative Business bridges the gap between creative practice and mainstream business organisation, entrepreneurship and management. Using stories, case studies and exercises it discusses the positioning of creative practice within professional and business development, cultural policy-making and the wider cultural economy, and suggests what the broader field of business and management studies can learn from the informal structure and working practices of creative industries networks. Consideration is given to how ethical and moral value orientations animate creative practice and how they play into the wider debate about social responsibilities within business and public policy. The authors also explore the way creative business practices often coalesce around emergent and self-organized networks and how this signals alternative approaches to management, enTrade Review'The crash of 2008 marked the end of one form of rather autistic capitalism.

There is a perception that a lot of change initiatives fail and limited understanding about what works and what does not and why.Drawing on the field of psychology and based on primary research, Reconsidering Change Management identifies 18 popular and relevant commonly held assumptions with regard to change management that are then analyzed and compared to the four specific themes laid out in the book (people, leadership, organization, and change process), resulting in their own set of assumptions. Each assumption will have a brief introduction in which its relevance and popularity is explained.

Taylor & Francis Phoenix Rising Leadership Innovation in the New
Book SynopsisHow can tech-forward companies, institutions and non-profits stay relevant long term in today's fast changing global economy? Written for leaders seeking proven strategies, this book by a veteran business advisor and leadership coach explains what large organizations can learn from family enterprises, and vice versa. When survival is threatened by disruption, or growth has stalled, the book shows why seasoned leaders and rising leaders from both family and non-family organizations should join forces for mutual benefit of combining innovation and long term thinking.Florence Tsai advances the field of family business studies with new evolutionary models, organizational frameworks, and case studies of dozens of leading family companies, including IBM, Corning, and New York Times. The book addresses growing problems of disruptionchallenges best addressed by seasoned and rising leaders working together, since they have complimentary skills. Seniors bring stability and judgment, whTrade Review"Florence Tsai is unusually wise. She is an expert in navigating tricky family dynamics across generations and cultures. What I love most about Phoenix Rising is the way it mixes historical case studies with her own experiences to ask the important question: How do you build something new while staying true to your legacy?"James ChamBloomberg BETA"Fabulous for families in business, politics, philanthropy, arts and sciences. Read this book to survive another day in business—then another generation. Don’t lose the untapped talent closest to you. That warning is the best part of this book, and you should heed it."George CourtauldBest-selling author of The Pocket Book of Patriotism"Florence Tsai can really write! She employs a brisk snappy style – dare I say hip – to give us a fully referenced and intelligent analysis of what makes and breaks family enterprises. Written for both specialist and layman, Florence Tsai draws from ancient Greek and Asian mythology, studies on what makes healthy relationships, the complexity and richness of family dynamics and even dares to bring in child development, all the while proving her point with case studies of particular businessmen who either succeeded or failed or both. She explains what enables families to be nourished by their predecessors and create a successful family enterprise. For those interested in family enterprises (who isn’t?) but also for the philosopher, economist and historian, Florence Tsai’s Phoenix Rising provides telling insights into how capitalism really works, how it adapts, innovates, disrupts and continues to survive in ways both surprising and exciting. I do wish someone like Karl Marx or Joseph Schumpeter could have had the chance to read it."Nick PapandreouBrookings Global Leadership Council economist, Secretary of the Andreas Papandreou Foundation, author of A Crowded Heart, Mikos and Manos and The Magical Path to the Acropolis, and screenwriter of "Little Greek Godfather""Florence Tsai has worked with family organizations from founders to next gens, and Phoenix Rising offers both the weight to convince and the tools to inspire. Florence's proposal for building and sustaining a legacy mindset ensures that leadership and innovation will remain the key focus for growth and longevity. An essential read for all family enterprises!"Molly McAdamsFounder of Introducing Leaders and CEO of Strategic Legacy Ventures"This is a must read for any family business organization with aims to thrive in future generations. An essential road map providing the secret sauce to building generational family and business success. Great insights for inspiring, developing and engaging next generation leaders."Mike HillPresident and CEO of Minot’s Light and member of the Bancroft business family"A valuable read! Great inspiration for your life’s journey in business. Lots of tips on how to develop all the talent you’ve got, so you can build value for all to share. For over 60 years and across three generations, that’s still what motivates me as Chairman of a family business. My own journey began by working with my mom and my dad’s brother, Bill . . . then with my wife, our four sons, and Bill’s three sons . . . and soon (I hope) with many more from the fourth generation. Read this book and remember: give your rising leaders many chances to shine, back up your innovators, and don’t let them slip away. Then, when you get to my stage, you’ll look back on your career and realize, it’s not all about the money you made or the successes you racked up, but the great people you had the good fortune to work with along the way."Jack MitchellChairman of Mitchells Stores and WSJ best-selling author of Hug Your Customer, Hug Your People, and Selling the Hug Your Customer Way "This is a book that ushers in a new mindset, and a new direction for family business. Family enterprise has a perhaps undeserved reputation for lack of creativity. This book reveals the day-to-day, entrepreneurial energy of family business. It begins with stories from the past and present, written like no other business book I’ve read, in the style of the new millennial generation. It looks at how family business can become a ‘quantum machine’ for innovative growth and development. The core of the book covers the human life cycle, from childhood to elderhood, for insights on developing entrepreneurial focus, energy and results in family business. It’s full of stories of the creative energy of family and how it gets unleashed. You will never look at family enterprise the same way again after you read this."Dennis Jaffe, Ph.DAuthor of Working with Those You Love, Research Fellow at Wise Counsel Research and co-author of Cross Culture"Florence Tsai is an amazing resource for large families looking to take a longer term vision on their legacy, family business, and working with all family members. Guiding a large family through small and big changes takes patience, time and resources. While many put emphasis on short term gain and monetary reward, Florence shows in Phoenix Rising that experience, guidance, mentorship and immersion in the new economy are what puts families on track for long term success."Brian KooFounder of Formation Group"In Phoenix Rising, Florence Tsai offers a new model with frameworks that advance the study of business longevity. Institutions are always looking for new insights, but business lessons often don’t translate well across sectors. The long-run horizons of multigenerational family-run enterprises turn out to be surprisingly similar. Who knew? I was inspired by the remarkable families whose stories of renewal appear in the book. Institutions grappling with disruption can learn to develop exceptional and resilient new "Phoenix" leaders, experiment more, and make keep-or-kill decisions quicker by following Florence’s "core and edge" strategy. This book opens up new and timely discussions for leaders of all types of organizations that want to spark innovation and thrive for the next hundred years."Pareena G. LawrencePresident of Hollins University"With great energy and multiple examples from human nature, Florence Tsai builds a compelling picture of what makes 21st Century family enterprises thrive. She draws from famous stories ancient and modern, outlining the core characteristics of entrepreneurs who survived failure, coped with setbacks, and created businesses despite significant adversity. Phoenix Rising is a welcome addition to the growing literature on family enterprise development."James Grubman, PhDAuthor of Strangers in Paradise: How Families Adapt to Change Across Generations Table of ContentsForeword.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Philanthropy and Society
Book SynopsisA comprehensive introduction to the field of philanthropy, Philanthropy and Society challenges the reader to think deeply about the role of philanthropic institutions in shaping and bettering the communities they serve and civil society as a whole. While all agree that the function of philanthropic organizations is to maximize the impact of grant making, there is little consensus on how to do that. This book focuses on two trends that have emerged: strategic philanthropy and increasing diversity, equity and inclusion in philanthropy. Amidst persistent societal inequities, the proliferation of philanthropy leaves one wondering about the potential of this expanding industry to influence social change as well as include constituents beyond donors and their staff. The book offers several case studies of different types of foundations from around the world that demonstrate several tactics used to develop plans that are both strategic and inclusive. UpTrade Review"Maurrasse guides the reader through a deep examination of philanthropy, its history, evolution and role in society. He challenges us to answer questions regarding philanthropy's impact, value and relevance; particularly given the demographic shifts in the country as well as the call for diversity, equity and inclusion. We learn through case studies, about the landscape of philanthropy in America and internationally, in the U.K., Africa and global philanthropy efforts by American philanthropy. Ultimately, he elegantly reminds us of philanthropy's responsibility to listen and learn from the communities in which serves, and its inextricable link to the nonprofit sector, if it is to be an agent of change." –Janine Lee, President and CEO, Southeastern Council of Foundations"The issue of inclusive philanthropy is a vital one for funders today, so David Maurrasse’s book Philanthropy and Society comes at a particularly opportune moment for our field. If funders wants to be as effective as possible in reducing the disparities we see today in nearly every aspect of individual and community well-being, it must include the perspectives, voices and participation of the people who are the beneficiaries of their philanthropic efforts. Foundations are always hungry for good examples of how their peers are addressing inclusion in their work, so I’m pleased that this book is centered on foundation case studies. Philanthropy and Society is a welcome addition to the body of work on how our field can get better at addressing diversity, equity and inclusion in philanthropy." –David Biemesderfer, President & CEO, United Philanthropy Forum"An expert insider’s analysis of how philanthropies are shaping our efforts to make the world a better place and how they can be more inclusive, representative and effective in that quest. The case studies are diverse in every way, compellingly and, taken together, provide a strategy to harness the potential to make doing good better. Makes a strong argument for engagement, place-based solutions, strategic planning, cross-sector partnerships. A GREAT book." –Bill Eimicke, Professor in the Practice of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University and co-author of Social Value Investing Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentsForewordBy Colin Greer, President, New World FoundationIntroductionChapter 1 The State of PhilanthropyThe Current Landscape of PhilanthropyBroader trends in the fieldKey issues facing different types of foundationsStrategic philanthropyInclusion and StrategyReferencesChapter 2 Private Foundations Meyer Memorial TrustBackground on the FoundationConsiderations for Private FoundationsStrategy – the essence of the foundation’s strategyHow Inclusion informs Strategy ProgrammaticallyHow Inclusion informs Strategy InstitutionallyProgress – What has been the impact of these approaches?

I particularly enjoyed the case studies at the end of each chapter, as they bring the content to life in a vivid and inspirational way, and help the reader visualise how they can put into practice the key ideas discussed in the book." * John Lionis, Regional Head of Reward, Chanel *"As a Generalist HR practitioner, I found Michael's book to be very comprehensive and easy to apply. The questions within each section were very useful to stimulate thought around the varying considerations of reward, without compromising on detail and clarity. Before using the book, my knowledge of reward was limited to functional detail, without clear understanding of the why the various components matter. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs a comprehensive whistle-stop tour of reward." * Sharron Harvey, EVP, Head of HR, Gatehouse Bank *"An invaluable introduction to the world of total reward management which provides a clear and pragmatic balance between theory and practice.
