The Critical Few

Energize Your Company’s Culture by Choosing What Really Matters

By: Jon R. Katzenbach,James Thomas,Gretchen Anderson

In a global survey by the Katzenbach Center, 80 percent of respondents believed that their organization must evolve to succeed. But a full quarter of them reported that a change effort at their organization had resulted in no visible results. Why? The fate of any change effort depends on whether and how leaders engage their culture: the self-sustaining patterns of behaving, feeling, thinking, and believing that determine how things are done in an organization. Culture is implicit rather than explicit, emotional rather than rational--that's what makes it so hard to work with, but that's also what makes it so powerful. For the first time, this book lays out the Katzenbach Center's proven methodology for identifying your culture's four most critical elements: traits, characteristics that are at the heart of people's emotional connection to what they do; keystone behaviors, actions that would lead your company to succeed if they were replicated at a greater scale; authentic informal leaders, people who have a high degree of "emotional intuition" or social connectedness; and metrics, integrated, thoughtful measures to track progress, encourage the self-reinforcing cycle of lasting change and link to business performance. By leveraging these critical few elements, you can tap into a source of catalytic change within your organization. People will make an emotional, not just a rational, commitment to new initiatives. You will elicit enthusiasm and creativity and build the kind of powerful company that people recognize for its innate value and effectiveness.

The Economics of Art and Culture

By: James Heilbrun,Charles M. Gray

The 2001 second edition of this survey of the economics of - and public policy towards - the fine arts and performing arts covers arts at federal, state, and local levels in the United States as well as the international arts sector. The work will interest academic readers in the field and scholars of the sociology of the arts, as well as general readers seeking a systematic analysis of the arts. Theoretical concepts are developed from scratch so that readers with no background in economics can follow the argument. The authors look at the arts' historical growth and then examine consumption and production of the live performing arts and the fine arts, the functioning of arts markets, the financial problems of performing arts companies and museums, and the key role of public policy. A final chapter speculates about the future of art and culture in the United States.

Geriopharmacotherapy in Home Health Care

New Frontiers in Pharmaceutical Care

By: James W Cooper

Home health care, as an organized entity in the continuum of health care in the U.S., is a fairly new phenomenon. Geriopharmacotherapy in Home Health Care looks at the state of the pharmaceutical arena in home health care. With origins in a federally funded grant program, five state programs--North Carolina, Hawaii, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Utah--have evolved into a progressively interactive group, with certain common problems and perceptions across states, both in medications and other programmatic concerns. The contributing authors of this book examine several of these problems and concerns in detail. Each chapter assists readers in understanding the pharmaceutical endeavors undertaken through the initiative and creativity of these state-funded home health programs, which are still developing and growing. There are multiple concerns about the impact of medication on patients cared for by home health care workers, among them, the high incidence of chronic diseases, debilitating illnesses, and the potential for adverse reactions to medication. Several of the topics explored in detail include: a critical analysis of the medications patients consume how to clinically critique problems and seek interventions to remedy therapeutic and clinical problems survey results on pharmaceutical services from home health agencies in North Carolina needed modifications in available computer software to provide optimal computer capabilities for consultant pharmacy services an examination and comparison of several software programs for practicality and logistical capabilities Geriopharmacotherapy in Home Health Care documents the outgrowth of program innovation and the creativity of five states’current status of home health care pharmacy. With continued tremendous growth in the elderly population, the demands on home health care will continue to grow dramatically for years to come. Home health care professionals--nurses, nurses aids, consultant pharmacists, agency directors and workers--will find the developments in this book informative as they increase and improve the services available to homebound elderly.

The Selected Works of Mary E. James

In the World Library of Educationalists, international experts themselves compile career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces – extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, major theoretical and practical contributions – so the world can read them in a single manageable volume, allowing readers to follow the themes of their work and see how it contributes to the development of the field. Mary James has researched and written on a range of educational subjects which encompass curriculum, pedagogy and assessment in schools, and implications for teachers ́ professional development, school leadership and policy frameworks. She has written many books and journals on assessment, particularly assessment for learning and is an expert on teacher learning, curriculum, leadership for learning and educational policy. Starting with a specially written introduction in which Mary gives an overview of her career and contextualises her selection, the chapters are divided into three parts: Educational Assessment and Learning Educational Evaluation and Curriculum Development Educational Research and the Improvement of Practice Through this book, readers can follow the different strands that Mary James has researched and written about over the last three decades, and clearly see her important contribution to the field of education.

Christian Workers' Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

By: James M. Gray

“Whoever attempts it will find it far easier to write a long commentary than a brief one,” said a famous commentator. This we believe. The Christian Workers’ Commentary represents the labor of eight years in the use of such spare hours as could be found in an otherwise well-filled life, but had the plan permitted its expansion into a series of volumes instead of one, it might have been completed earlier.
