Managing the Unthinkable: Crisis Preparation and Response for Campus Leaders
by John G. PetersCrises are no strangers on campuses—whether the deaths of students, severe weather events, athletic wrongdoing, crime, or student or employee malfeasance. How leaders respond can save lives, strengthen the institution, and comfort the community—or compromise reputations and result in scandal.Risk management and readiness are not often at the top of the list of what presidents and their boards must do, but in a time of ongoing change, instantaneous communication, and media scrutiny, they risk their jobs and their institutional reputation if they do not heed the messages conveyed in this book. Gretchen Bataille and Diana Cordova, with extensive and varied experiences that include a university presidency, directing senior leadership programs, and counseling presidents and senior administrators faced with critical campus events – together with 22 presidents, seasoned leaders in higher education, and media experts – provide forthright, firsthand advice on preparing for and managing a crisis, as well on handling the emotional, and often long-term, toll that can result from dramatic events on campus. Through the examples of those who have successfully managed crises, this book provides expert insights and guidance on preparedness, assigning roles and responsibilities, and planning for contingencies ahead of time so that, in the moment, when there is pressure for immediate response that will be scrutinized by the media, by the public, and by the local constituencies, leaders can act with confidence.The contributors emphasize the crucial importance of ethical behavior, the need for clear protocols for how all employees should handle problematic issues, and the need for mechanisms that allow employees and students to report problems without fear of retribution. Creating an atmosphere of transparency, accountability, and ethical behavior isn’t something a leader does when a scandal strikes to protect a reputation; it’s what leaders must do to reinforce their good name every day.For senior leaders and board members not in the throes of managing a crisis, this book outlines what needs to be done to be prepared and offers extensive resources for further reading.

Managing with Mindfulness: Connecting with Students in the 21st Century
by Tony YeighTeacher and student interaction occur in a complex and dynamic environment. Managing with Mindfulness: Connecting with Students in the 21st Century draws on educational psychology, duty-of-care principles and mindfulness practices to introduce the Control/Connect continuum as a model designed to foster inclusive classroom practices for the contemporary classroom. Addressing topics such as communication, positive relationships, emotional literacy, motivation and classroom behaviours, the work is written to support Initial Teacher Education students in their transition to practice. Framed by the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers, Graduate level, this new textbook integrates the theoretical contexts of classroom management with the needs of contemporary teachers, as situated within the historical context of 21st century teaching and learning. The text is supported throughout with engaging and thought-provoking case studies and activities, thinking points and end-of-chapter review questions that encourage reflection on key concepts and practices.
Managing with Sense and Sensitivity: Professionalism in Leadership
by Christer Sandahl Mia von KnorringManagers wrestle daily with emotional leadership challenges because emotions and relationships influence organizational energy, commitment, and financial results. This book helps managers strike a balance between feeling and reason in a professional and ethical manner with attention to the manager’s position in the hierarchy of the organization. The authors argue that all managers need to develop their own leadership style based on who they are as persons, their convictions and the circumstances in which they find themselves. This book shows managers how to use judgement, experience, reflection and general knowledge to be better leaders. The book also describes managerial responsibility for the conditions that create a compassionate and effective work environment where emotions can be expressed in ways that constructively benefit the entire organization
Manana Es San Peron: A Cultural History of Peron's Argentina
by Mariano Ben PlotkinThe regime of Juan Peron is one of the most studied topics of Argentina's contemporary history. This new book - an English translation of a highly popular, critically acclaimed Spanish language edition- provides a new perspective on the intriguing Argentinian leader. Mariano Plotkin's cultural approach makes Peron's popularity understandable because it goes beyond Peron's charismatic appeal and analyzes the Peronist mechanisms used to generate political consent and mass mobilization. Manana es San Peron is the first book to focus on the cultural and symbolic dimensions of Peronism and populism. Plotkin also presents important material for the study of populism and the modern state in this region. Manana es San Peron explores the creation of myths, symbols, and rituals which constituted the Peronist political imagery. This political imagery was not designed to reinforce the legitimacy of a political system defined in abstract terms, but to assure the undisputed loyalty of different sectors of society to the Peronist government and to Peron himself. The evolution of the institutional framework that made the creation of this symbolic apparatus possible is also discussed. This well-researched book shows the methods designed by the Peronist regime to broaden its social base through the incorporation and activation of groups which had traditionally occupied a marginalized position within the political system-non-union workers, women, and the poor. Plotkin investigates how Peron used the education system to build his popularity. He examines the public assistance programs financed through the Eva Peron Foundation, and demonstrates how they were used to politicize women for the first time. He explains how Eva Peron and the Peronist regime not only tried to gain the support of women as voters but also as potential 'missionaries' who would spread the Peronist word in the privacy of their homes. This well-written and engaging account of one of Latin America's most colorful and appealing leaders is an excellent resource on Argentina and Latin American history and politics.

Mandamientos imposibles: Cómo obedecer a Dios cuando no parece posible
by Jonty AllcockCuando los mandamientos de Dios suenan imposibles, la mayoría de nosotros buscamos excusas, optamos por no obecer, o pretendemos que nos va mejor de lo que estamos. En Mandamientos imposibles, el autor Jonty Allcock nos muestra que la obediencia puede ser una alegría que da vida en lugar de ser trabajo, un placer en lugar de un deber.Como creyentes, nos esforzamos por complacer a Dios a través de nuestra obediencia, pero a menudo fallamos. Por mucho que lo intentemos, el cumplimiento de los mandamientos bíblicos como «regocíjate siempre», «no tengas miedo», «da alegremente» y «ámense los unos a los otros» puede ser fácilmente eludido. Pero imaginen una vida donde la obediencia a Dios es una fuente de alegría profunda y satisfactoria. Imaginen una vida donde la obediencia no es una carga, sino el deseo y el anhelo de nuestros corazones. ¿Suena eso como un sueño imposible? Le sorprenderá saber que este es el tipo de vida que la Biblia nos anima a seguir. En este libro, el pastor Jonty Allcock nos guía a través de un proceso de cuatro pasos que nos ayudará a mirarnos menos a nosotros mismos y a depender más de Dios, permitiendo una obediencia alegre guiada por el espíritu. Los cuatro pasos implican admitir a nosotros mismos y decir lo siguiente:No puedo (honestidad sobre nuestra propia impotencia)Lo siento (pena por nuestra obstinada negativa)Por favor, ayuda (llamada esperanzadora a nuestro Padre celestial)Vamos (levantándonos y empezando a obedecer)Al enfrentarnos a las imposibles órdenes de Jesús, llegamos al final de nuestra propia voluntad y determinación, y terminamos a los pies de Jesús. Escapamos de la esclavitud de lo imposible y nos encontramos en las manos de un Dios que puede hacer todas las cosas. Donde no obedecemos, hay gracia. Donde logramos obedecer, allí encontramos el milagro de la obediencia guiada por el Espíritu.Impossible CommandsWhen God's commandments sound impossible, most of us look for excuses, choose not to obey, or pretend we are doing better than we are. In Impossible Commands, author Jonty Allcock shows us that obedience can be a life-giving joy instead of work, a pleasure instead of a duty.As believers, we strive to please God through our obedience, but we often fail. No matter how hard we try, the fulfillment of biblical commands such as "rejoice always," "be not afraid," "give cheerfully," and "love one another" can easily be circumvented.But imagine a life where obedience to God is a source of deep and satisfying joy. Imagine a life where obedience is not a burden, but the desire and longing of our hearts. Does that sound like an impossible dream? You may be surprised to learn that this is the kind of life the Bible encourages us to follow.In this book, Pastor Jonty Allcock guides us through a four-step process that will help us look less at ourselves and depend more on God, allowing for joyful, spirit-led obedience. The four steps involve admitting ourselves and saying the following:I can't (honesty about our own helplessness)I'm sorry (sorry for our stubborn refusal)Please help (hopeful call to our heavenly Father)Let's go (get up and start obeying)
