Content: "Case studies and strategies for more effective multi-generational management Clash of the Generations explores this new and increasingly common workplace phenomenon, and provides strategies to help managers navigate this ever more complex maze. Traditionally, older workers would retire and make room for the next generation; instead, Baby Boomers are now prolonging their time in the workplace, yet the successive generations are still coming in. Senior leaders are now left to manage a blended workplace comprised of up to four generations...each with their own ideas of work ethic, work/life balance, long-term career goals, and much more. Management is challenging at the best of times, but the new prevalence of generation gaps...sometimes even layered...add an entirely new dimension to an already complex responsibility. This book presents case studies and interviews with representatives of companies with age-diverse workforces, detailing innovative strategies for smoothing out the bumps and helping everyone work together. Managers have long wished that their positions came with an instruction manual, and this book delivers with a host of effective inter-generational management strategies illustrated by real-world companies. Manage the multi-generation workplace more effectively Navigate the generational culture clash Adopt proven strategies for helping everyone get along Promote a more positive culture amidst clashing expectations Every generation in the workplace has value, each has their own strengths, their own weaknesses, and their own unique talents. Each is indispensable, and when they come together as a synergistic force, they can be unstoppable. Effective management means bringing out the best in your workforce, and the strategies presented in Clash of the Generations help you streamline your varied workforce into a team more valuable than the sum of its parts"...

Series Statement: Critical Climate Change

Content: Following on from Theory and the Disappearing Future, Cohen, Colebrook and Miller turn their attention to the eco-critical and environmental humanities’ newest and most fashionable of concepts, the Anthropocene. The question that has escaped focus, as "tipping points" are acknowledged as passed, is how language, mnemo-technologies, and the epistemology of tropes appear to guide the accelerating ecocide, and how that implies a mutation within reading itself—from the era of extinction events.Only in this moment of seeming finality, the authors argue, does there arise an opportunity to be done with mourning and begin reading. Drawing freely on Paul de Man’s theory of reading, anthropomorphism and the sublime, Twilight of the Anthropocene Idols argues for a mode of critical activism liberated from all-too-human joys and anxieties regarding the future. It was quite a few decades ago (1983) that Jurgen Habermas declared that ‘master thinkers had fallen on hard times.’ His pronouncement of hard times was premature. For master thinkers it is the best of times. Not only is the world, supposedly, falling into a complete absence of care, thought and frugality, a few hyper-masters have emerged to tell us that these hard times should be the best of times. It is precisely because we face the end that we should embrace our power to geo-engineer, stage the revolution, return to profound thinking, reinvent the subject, and recognize ourselves fully as one global humanity. Enter anthropos

Series Statement: What everyone needs to know

Note: Includes bibliographical references and index , Defining social entrepreneurship -- What is social entrepreneurship? -- When did it emerge as a global movement? -- Who are the pioneers? -- What does a social entrepreneur do? -- What are social entrepreneurs like? -- What is the difference between social and business entrepreneurship? -- What are the differences between social entrepreneurship and government? -- How is social entrepreneurship different from activism? -- What is the relationship between social entrepreneurship and democracy? -- Challenges of causing change -- What are the main financial constraints? -- How do social entrepreneurs build organizations and enterprises? -- Can the field attract and cultivate talented workers? -- How do social entrepreneurs evaluate their impact? -- What is the difference between scale and impact? -- What's stopping social change? -- Envisioning an innovating society -- How is social entrepreneurship changing minds? -- How could schools nurture social innovators? -- What is being done at the university level? -- What can governments do to engage more successfully with social entrepreneurs? -- How is social entrepreneurship influencing business? -- Can philanthropy be more effective? -- How will the field of social entrepreneurship influence journalism? -- How can individuals prepare themselves to participate in the field of social entrepreneurship? , "In development circles, there is now widespread consensus that social entrepreneurs represent a far better mechanism to respond to needs than we have ever had before, a decentralized and emergent force that remains our best hope for solutions that can keep pace with our problems and create a more peaceful world. The author's book on social entrepreneurship, How to Change the World, was hailed by Nicholas Kristof in The New York Times as 'a bible in the field' and published in more than twenty countries. Now, he shifts the focus from the profiles of successful social innovators in that book, and teams with Susan Davis, a founding board member of the Grameen Foundation, to offer the first general overview of social entrepreneurship. In a Q & A format allowing readers to go directly to the information they need, the authors map out social entrepreneurship in its broadest terms as well as in its particulars. They explain what social entrepreneurs are, how their organizations function, and what challenges they face. The book will give readers an understanding of what differentiates social entrepreneurship from standard business ventures and how it differs from traditional grant based non-profit work. Unlike the typical top down, model-based approach to solving problems employed by the World Bank and other large institutions, social entrepreneurs work through a process of iterative learning, learning by doing, working with communities to find unique, local solutions to unique, local problems. Most importantly, the book shows readers exactly how they can get involved. It is for anyone inspired by Barack Obama's call to service and who wants to learn more about the essential features and enormous promise of this new method of social change"--Provided by publisher
