Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective leadership portrays a significant part in any organization's accomplishments. The leadership position is illustrated whenever people operate in communities and is the central instrument by which a community area or substance frames and decides its needs and culture. By definition, modern initiative is a system of control, which includes a few significant capabilities like enabling, directing, organizing, and empowering the representatives. The rise of authoritative order recommends that initiative isn't really important for the structure flow but its unique value can be developed. Our world is changing continuously and a few decades back, the associations were employing chiefs and they were recruiting pioneers. Today, every supervisor is supposed not exclusively to be a powerful pioneer yet additionally a mentor and mentee. The construction industry is not an exception in this regard, especially concerning the frontline employees, i.e. supervisors and foremen. Supervisors in any construction project are expected to exert a positive influence over the daily performance of their workers. Thus, supervisory leadership is characterized as conduct planned to give direction, support, and coercive input for the day‐to‐day exercises of work unit individuals. This book is based on a research that aims to investigate such prevalent problems in the construction industry in India and examine the impact of supervisory leadership qualities. It presents a comprehensive strategy to identify and gauge the organizational performance (i.e. efficacy and work quality of the employees) via Employee Attitudinal Measures (EAM). Authority styles assume a significant part in deciding performance of the organization, particularly transformational and transactional leadership. Both these leadership styles are important indicators of organizational performance. More specifically, transactional leadership is seen as the accomplishment of organizational goals through a social exchange, while transformational leadership promotes the followers to explore situations differently and quickly react to these alternatives. Effective site-supervisory leadership skills in any construction industry can be a stimulus to the final business outcomes. These skills may include both attitudinal and behavioral traits, e.g. morale and organizational commitment, performance and work quality, and workplace inclusiveness and environment. This book attempts the following: 1. To study various leadership traits at the supervisory level that should be followed in a typical Indian construction company to improve its overall effectiveness. 2. To examine how supervisory leadership styles impact the employee attitudinal measures, e.g. morale, organizational commitment, performance, and work quality in the Indian construction industry. 3. To investigate deeply the level of influence and direction of the association-ship between Supervisory Leadership Practices (SLPs) and Employee Attitudinal Measures (EAMs). 4. To explore, suggest and implement an effective training program for a construction organization targeting the development of the leadership skills of supervisors in a complex working environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is modern civil society created? There are few contemporary studies on this important question and when it is addressed, scholars tend to emphasize the institutional environment that facilitates a modern civil society. However, there is a need for a new perspective on this issue. Contemporary China, where a modern civil society remains in a nascent stage, offers a valuable site to seek new answers. Through a comparative analysis of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in today’s China, this study shows the importance of the human factor, notably the NGO leadership, in the establishment of a modern civil society. In particular, in recognition of the social nature of NGOs, this study engages in a comparative examination of Chinese NGO leaders’ state linkage, media connections and international ties in order to better understand how each factor contributes to effective NGOs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a call for confident, skilled and knowledgeable practice in social work. The current managerialist agenda has restricted judgement and the exercise of discretion in the profession, and, more damagingly, has played down the social justice components of social work, as well as the responsibilities for therapeutic and change-orientated interventions. This book explores how, through strong self-leadership, social workers can both explain and demonstrate how social work can achieve positive change. Offering a fresh and innovative view on leadership for social workers, managers of social services and social work students at all levels, the book identifies tactics and strategies to provide leadership both within a team and in senior positions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now available in paperback, this two-volume work is intended to help readers develop powerful new ways of thinking about organizational principles, and apply them to policy-making and management in colleges and universities.The book is written with two audiences in mind: administrative and faculty leaders in institutions of higher learning, and students (both doctoral and Master's degree) studying to become upper-level administrators, leaders, and policy makers in higher education.It systematically presents a range of theories that can be applied to many of the difficult management situations that college and university leaders encounter. It provides them with the theoretical background to knowledgeably evaluate the many new ideas that emerge in the current literature, and in workshops and conferences. The purpose is to help leaders develop their own effective management style and approaches, and feel confident that their actions are informed by appropriate theory and knowledge of the latest research in the field.Without theory, organizational leaders are forced to treat each problem that they encounter as unique–as if it were a first-time occurrence. While leaders may have some experience with a particular issue, their solutions are usually not informed by the accumulated wisdom of others who have already encountered and resolved similar situations. The authors approach the theory of the organization and administration of colleges and universities from three quite different perspectives, or paradigms, each relying on different assumptions about the “reality” of organizational life in colleges and universities. The positivist paradigm–primarily an omnibus systems theory–integrates the chapters into a comprehensive, yet easily accessible whole. Social constructionism, the second paradigm, is introduced in each chapter to illuminate the difficulty of seeking and finding meaningful consensus on problems and policies, while also addressing important ethical issues that tend to be overlooked in leadership thought and action. The third paradigm, postmodernism, draws attention to difficulties of logic and communication under the constraints of strictly linear thinking that “authorities” at all levels attempt to impose on organizations.This “multiple paradigm” approach enables readers to become more cognizant of their own assumptions, how they may differ from those of others in their organization, and how those differences may both create difficulties in resolving problems and expand the range of alternatives considered in organizational decision making. The book offers readers the tools to balance the real-world needs to succeed in today’s challenging and competitive environment with the social and ethical aspirations of all its stakeholders and society at large. The authors’ aim is to elucidate how administration can be made more efficient and effective through rational decision-making while also respecting humanistic values. This approach highlights a range of phenomena that require attention if the institution is ultimately to be considered successful.Also available:Volume 1: The State of the SystemTwo volume set
