Mental Illness in the Workplace: Psychological Disability Management (Psychological and Behavioural Aspects of Risk)
by Henry G. Harder Shannon Wagner Josh RashThe extent of mental illness concerns in the workforce is becoming increasingly apparent. Stress, depression, anxiety, workplace bullying and other issues are costing businesses billions every year in lost productivity, poor treatments and employee retention. Unless appropriately addressed, issues related to mental illness difficulties will result in stiff financial, organizational, and human costs for organizations. The authors of Mental Illness in the Workplace provide a practical guide to identifying, understanding, treating and preventing individual and organizational mental health issues. They illustrate how organizations can save money and improve the health and well-being of their employees by using a psychological disability management approach in the treatment and accommodation of mental illness issues. Drawing on empirical evidence from North America, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, the book is in three parts. The first addresses the scope of mental health issues in the workplace. The second part describes the most common mental illnesses found in the workplace, while the third focuses on prevention and treatment of mental health issues. This book will meet the needs of human resources professionals, administrators of employee assistance programs, industrial and organizational psychologists, mental health practitioners, those teaching or studying psychology and disability management, and more generally will serve to enlighten students of business management and practicing managers regarding a major workforce risk factor.

Mentale, emotionale und körperliche Fitness: Wie man dauerhaft leistungsfähig bleibt
by Anke Fischer Sven C. VoelpelUnser Leben verlangt permanente Höchstleistung, im Beruf und privat. Dafür brauchen wir viel Energie. Wird diese Energie in ausreichender Menge zugeführt, bleibt unser körperliches und mentales Gleichgewicht erhalten. Andernfalls holt sich der Organismus das, was er braucht, aus Reservespeichern, die eigentlich für das Funktionieren der täglichen Energiekreisläufe gedacht sind. Sind diese Speicher leer, ist unsere Leistungsfähigkeit drastisch reduziert. Die Ausbeutung des Körpers wird oft erst sichtbar, wenn es möglicherweise schon zu spät ist, regulierend in den Energiehaushalt einzugreifen. Ergebnisse sind Krankheiten wie Burnout, körperlicher Verschleiß, physiologische Mangelerscheinungen oder Schlafstörungen. Wie aber können wir hohe Leistung vollbringen, ohne uns körperlich, mental oder emotional derart zu verausgaben, dass irreparable Defizite entstehen? Optimale Ernährung, ausreichend Bewegung und mentale Fitness sind nach dem heutigen Wissensstand ausschlaggebend dafür, dass wir dauerhaft leistungsfähig bleiben. Doch was bedeutet das für uns persönlich? Nicht jeder Mensch funktioniert gleich. Diesem Umstand werden die praktischen Tipps und Empfehlungen dieses Buches gerecht: Mittels Checklisten und Selbsttests können wir uns selbst einschätzen und erfahren, auf welchem Stand wir sind. Mit den angebotenen Strategien und Maßnahmen können wir unsere Fitness typgerecht optimieren. Schlagworte: Ernährung ? Schlaf und Erholung ? Stress, Depression und Burnout ?

Sehr zu empfehlen für gesundheitsbewusste Menschen, die mehr wollen als Körperkult und Diätkriege.? Oliver Gassmann, Professor für Innovationsmanagement an der Universität St. Gallen ?Wer dieses Buch liest und das präsentierte Wissen für sich umsetzt, verbessert seine beruflichen Aussichten und erhöht die Chancen auf persönliche Zufriedenheit.?

Mentalidad de tiburón: Las 13 leyes sistema para maximizar tu potencia mental
by Manuel Sotomayor«El éxito nunca tendrá el mismo valor, si no dejamos camino para los que vienen detrás compartiendo los mismos sueños.» -Manuel Sotomayor La historia nos ha enseñado, que quienes conquistan, quienes crean, quienes inventan y transforman el rumbo de la vida, han tenido una gran característica en común, son imparables, una vez decidido su plan, su meta, su idea, no hay marcha atrás, no hay nada que pueda detenerlos o cambiar esa idea de su mente. Personajes desde la antigüedad, como Alejandro Magno, pasando por Leonardo da Vinci, Federico el Grande, Mozart, Charles Darwin, Henry Ford, Marie Curie, hasta llegar a Steve Jobs y Michael Jordan, entre otros; todos ellos han sido imparables. Pero... ¿qué era lo que los impulsaba a seguir y seguir hasta lo más alto?, ¿cómo pudieron enfrentar todos los obstáculos, soportar todo tipo de rechazo y críticas?, ¿qué era lo que los hacía mantenerse en curso?... A pesar de que caían, ninguno se quedó en el suelo, ¡todos se levantaban!, ¡todos retomaban su camino!, seguían tras su idea, su meta, ¡su sueño! y nada ni nadie pudo detenerlos. Quizá parecería como si hubieran nacido con un don, como si hubieran sido elegidos para esa tarea, y la realidad es que son iguales a cada uno de nosotros, la diferencia es que descubrieron cómo potenciar al máximo esa mentalidad imparable. Esta característica es la misma que posee uno de los animales más poderosos: el tiburón blanco, quien se caracteriza por estar en constante movimiento, ya que si deja de avanzar se hunde y muere. La necesidad natural de mantenerse siempre en movimiento, es la misma característica que comparten todos los personajes mencionados anteriormente, ya que de igual forma en la vida; si tú dejas de avanzar, si piensas demasiado tu siguiente paso, o si desistes de luchar y te vences a los obstáculos queesta te presenta, inevitablemente terminarás hundiéndote. En todo lo que hagas, en todo lo que te propongas, debes mantener siempre esa mentalidad imparable, esa Mentalidad De Tiburón. Este es un sistema que te llevará paso a paso por cada una de las 13 leyes, las cuales te permitirán descubrir esa potencia mental, dándote las herramientas para liberar la Mentalidad De Tiburón que siempre ha existido dentro de ti, para que en el momento en el que tomes la decisión de lograr algo, de innovar, de crear, de construir, nada ni nadie te detenga y consigas lo que quieres, convirtiéndote al igual que algunos ejemplos de la historia, en esa persona que puede transformar para bien el rumbo de su vida y de este mundo.

Mentor Myth: How to Take Control of Your Own Success
by Debby CarreauMentors are over-utilized, under-trained and, as studies show, under-deliver. From an employer's perspective, assigning a mentor is often a band-aid to a larger problem. From an employee's perspective, a lack of formal mentorship is seen as a serious, career-inhibiting problem, the equivalent of sailing a boat without a rudder. In The Mentor Myth, Debby Carreau represents this dichotomy, explaining that while a mentor's counsel can be invaluable, it is not the silver bullet human resources professionals often purport it to be. The opinions of a mentor are one data point, one piece in the much more complex game of navigating a career. In fact, the increasing overreliance on mentorship can actually be a hindrance to a successful career. Instead of continually looking outward for career guidance, aspiring professionals must realize that they possess all the tools necessary to take control of their own careers by using their own strengths, capabilities, and visions of success. Through her years of experience consulting, speaking, and writing about career development, Debby has created a comprehensive, easy-to-implement guide for taking ownership of your professional success. Debby begins by helping the reader create a professional roadmap, including how to build a personal brand, project the right amount of confidence, and manage time. She addresses mentors in the context of networks and sponsors, advising the reader how to incorporate outward influences rather than be defined by them.

If you're succeeding in business, struggling, or just starting out, and want your life at home to be what you've always dreamed it can be, this is the lesson you need to learn: the most valuable business you'll ever own, work for, or be a part of isn't the business you go to every day, it's the one you go home to.

by Alice Fornari Darshana T. ShahThis IAMSE Manual, Mentoring Across the Continuum, is a product of its co-editors' and authors’ lifetime work in mentoring faculty and studying the impact of this mentoring. The book defines the field of academic medicine as highly dependent on finding and relating to mentors at virtually every stage of a doctor's career. It describes and analyzes successful mentor/mentee relationships, examining the authors' personal experiences, as well as a data-driven approach, to explore the many different roles and perspectives on mentoring relationships and ultimately the mentoring culture. The editors look at the data with respect to the success of different strategies in mentoring, as well as different structures of diverse mentoring programs. As well, proven ways to deliver these programs successfully for all professionals who lead mentoring programs or are active participants as mentees.

This Manual is a valuable resource for clinicians, educators, and trainees in addition to anyone involved in medical education and progressing through the stages of practicing, teaching, and learning in medicine.

Mentoring Scientists and Engineers: The Essential Skills, Principles and Processes
by John ArthursMentoring is very much more than simple one-to-one informal instruction, or what used to be called ‘coaching’. Modern mentoring techniques are modelled on those of executive coaching as well as expert academic tutoring. Mentoring is simple but not necessarily easy. An estimated 40% of all mentoring schemes fail through lack of mentor training and understanding. No great effort is required to study the literature but, for mentoring to be effective, adherence to basic principles and exercising specific skills is absolutely necessary. The book provides an introduction to what we mean by mentoring and its basic skills – skilful questioning, active listening, building trust, self-management and giving advice and feedback. It further covers mentoring principles, how to conduct mentoring sessions and a wide range of practical applications. The final chapter gives the outlines and principles for creating a basic mentoring scheme within an organisational context. This book is written for those practitioners in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, the STEM fields, who have been pitched into the role of mentor without any prior training. Its objective is to alleviate anxiety, frustration and stress caused by not knowing exactly what is expected. In offering an introduction to mentoring it gives practical guidance as a quick and easy read.

by Maria Angela Capello Eve SpruntThis book is a compilation of very personal approaches to mentoring and sponsoring, breaking the stereotypes of seniority, age or experience. The authors have provided a platform to understand that mentoring and especially sponsoring are in fact a win-win relation, in which both sides, mentors and mentees; and sponsors and sponsored individuals learn from each other, enhancing their career paths. How they managed to create a growth space for themselves and their teams through mentoring and sponsoring, is a story of professional leadership. They shared a privileged outlook to understand the root causes of barriers, as well as to envision plausible solutions for difficult career crossroads, in which mentorship or sponsoring was key to steer step changes.The authors propose not only their vision, but a remarkable collection of unfiltered interviews with young and renown professionals in many sectors, from photography to music, research, sports, energy, and more, completing a vision of what is key for both sides of the equation pertinent to mentoring and sponsoring: the givers and the receivers. They explain what is needed to gain the most out of the mentoring and sponsoring loops, with their own career stories.Success is supported by many factors, in which the most important are the technical competency and performance aligned with resilience. However, in the long path of a career, mentors and particularly sponsors play a foundational and frequently a changing-life role, improving our perspective or triggering reflections and actions that benefitted our journeys at work and in life.This book provides insights on what works for an effective mentoring and sponsoring process. It is useful for all professionals, especially those starting their career journeys.
