Hardback. Condición: Good. Jewish organizational life is inundated with publications on organizational change and effective leadership, but from mutually exclusive sources: business and organizational studies, on the one hand; and Jewish studies, on the other. One addresses leadership but not the religious soul. The other speaks from its Jewish soul but is only secondarily engaged in the study of leadership. More Than Managing thoughtfully combines both to be immediately applicable to Jewish organizational life.Inspired by thirty years of pioneering work by retail giant Leslie Wexner's philanthropic focus on Jewish leadership, More Than Managing brings together diverse and remarkable thinkers to address challenges facing communal life and the skills and strategies demanded by them. Contributors include professors at Harvard University's Center for Public Leadership and The Harvard Business School who have worked over the past three decades with Israel's rising leadership in the public sector. These internationally known voices are matched by alumni and faculty of The Wexner Foundation's professional and volunteer programs, who lead and advise Jewish communities throughout North America and Israel. The book features diverse strategies for twenty-first-century leadership, critical lessons for organizational and communal success, and the questions vital to our changing and challenging times. Questions include how leaders may overcome the mediocrity of bureaucratic organizations; how organizations can harness volunteer leadership for transformative change; and how professionals can sustain core values in the midst of daily routine. Its diverse array of writers with international reputations in their fields makes it the only book of its kind. Potential readers include leaders of any religious not-for-profits--not just Jewish. The almost 50 contributors, including Leslie Wexner, combine secular insights on leadership with innovative insights drawn from Judaism's spiritual heritage.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Managing Yourself Managing Others: Learn How to Improve Effectiveness, Productivity, and Work Satisfaction by Steven Darter is about how to be a more effective manager of people and yourself and how to create an environment that brings forth the best that people have to give. For some people, the book will be about helping organizations improve performance by tapping into the heart and soul of their employees. For others, it is a book about finding a place in this world where they can feel productive and alive, where what they do has meaning, satisfaction, and a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Others might take what is learned and apply it to family and loved ones. For all, this book is about understanding and using a motivational force, unique to each individual, which can lift one to enormous heights or sink them to despair if not understood and managed well. Each person has giftedness, purpose, and an innate motivational drive, and when they uncover and use it, their life, for that moment, has a sense of congruence and fit. The more a person can operate in their motivational strike zone, which brings forth the energy and fire within, the more meaningful their life feels. The practicality of this to organizations is that when an employee is in a role that taps into their motivational strike zone the more motivated, satisfied, and productive they will be. The more an organization is seeded (at all levels) with people who do their jobs with passion, the more effective it will be. The concepts and techniques described in this book, when applied, will help create such an organization. In the course of helping the reader understand how to tap into the motivational strike zone and passion of their employees and, by doing so, how it positively impacts organizations, the book describes how one can discover their own motivational strike zone. If the reader makes this investment, he/she will become a more effective manager of others and themselves; and as a result they may find that their life will be more meaningful and their path to success easier to find.
