Talking the Walk: Should Ceos Think More About Sex?

How Gender Impacts Management and Leadership Communication

By: DR Julia Helene Ibbotson

Can professional women talk the walk? In the 21st century, increasing numbers of women may aspire more and more to higher management positions. Indeed, todays young women expect promotional prospects in their chosen careers. But statistics show that they are not achieving the success they desire. The norm is still for womens progress in the workplace to be halted at junior management levels. Dr Julia Ibbotson, an academic, researcher and writer, looks at some of the reasons why and suggests ways of reversing this trend. In this book, the author presents research evidence from a study which explores the issues of management communication from a gender perspective in secondary schools in the UK. It arose from a concern regarding the imbalance of men and women progressing to higher levels of management, as shown in the statistics published by the UKs Department for Education in a series of documents over 20 years. Current research also indicates that this picture has still not changed by 2011. So, what can be done to change it? Evidence in this book looks at the possibility that there are gender differences in the way men and women managers talk in the workplace, which have the effect of undermining womens chances of promotion to higher leadership positions. In other words, do women talk the walk? And should CEOs think more carefully about the gender balance of their management and leadership teams so that they can create more effective working groups fit for the economic issues of the twenty first century recession and post-recession? Praise for Talking the Walk an excellent piece of work (Professor David Young) a very talented teacher, writer and leading academic..positive and inspiring.. (Dr Deirdre Hughes) a lifetime of experience and insighta timely and ongoing challenge, a valid contribution to the debate (Professor Marie Parker-Jenkins) invaluable to those wishing to challenge and transform the current management culturein a style that is accessible and engaging to the general reader (Professor Elaine Millard) a great writer (Peggy Fellouris)

Truth Changes Everything (Perspectives: A Summit Ministries Series)

How People of Faith Can Transform the World in Times of Crisis

By: Dr. Jeff Myers

America has passed a tipping point. A majority of Americans now say that truth is up to the individual and that ultimate truth cannot be known. Learning to "speak our own truths" was supposed to lead to dignity and harmony. Instead, our society struggles with unprecedented levels of social conflict, purposelessness, and loss of identity. And still, the "Truth versus truths" tension continues to grow. Is all hope lost? In this inspiring book, Dr. Jeff Myers tells the fascinating stories of Jesus-followers who lived for Truth and transformed their world in times of crisis. These inspiring figures led the way in human dignity, science, art, medicine, education, politics, justice, and even the idea of meaningful work. No matter what is going on around us, the truth is worth fighting for. If you long for a positive, restorative role in our own chaotic era, it's time to discover how truth changes everything.

Meals to Come

A History of the Future of Food

By: Dr. Warren Belasco

In this provocative and lively addition to his acclaimed writings on food, Warren Belasco takes a sweeping look at a little-explored yet timely topic: humanity's deep-rooted anxiety about the future of food. People have expressed their worries about the future of the food supply in myriad ways, and here Belasco explores a fascinating array of material ranging over two hundred years—from futuristic novels and films to world's fairs, Disney amusement parks, supermarket and restaurant architecture, organic farmers' markets, debates over genetic engineering, and more. Placing food issues in this deep historical context, he provides an innovative framework for understanding the future of food today—when new prophets warn us against complacency at the same time that new technologies offer promising solutions. But will our grandchildren's grandchildren enjoy the cornucopian bounty most of us take for granted? This first history of the future to put food at the center of the story provides an intriguing perspective on this question for anyone—from general readers to policy analysts, historians, and students of the future—who has wondered about the future of life's most basic requirement.
