Changing Organizations from Within

Changing Organizations from Within

Robin C. Stevens

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD

nidottu
Organizational change is often insider-led and supported by internal consultants and change agents. Most of what is written about change comes from the perspective of external consultants or from academics researching the activities of those with insider change roles. Changing Organizations from Within is unusual in providing a range of authentic insider accounts. The editors define 'insiders' as employees who lead and support change efforts within their own organizations, and those psychoanalytically aware external consultants - external 'insiders' - who work closely with organizations and use the dynamics of transference and projection in their relationships with clients to illuminate organizational issues. Each chapter is written by an author with experience of different kinds of insider relationships with their client organizations. Some work 'inside' as employees. Some are external consultants whose work involves developing insightful insider perspectives. The book?€?s editors and several of the authors are graduates, or have been faculty members, of London's Tavistock Institute Advanced Organizational Consultation programme, with experience of running development programmes for consultants and of coaching insiders. Changing Organizations from Within examines the pulls on role and identity that can easily undermine competence and practice. Understanding the system psycho-dynamics present in organizations helps consultants and change agents to make use of an insider perspective without becoming enmeshed in the client organization's regressive and inertial dynamics. The authors provide practical advice to help insiders navigate organizational space, make sense of tricky situations, and work more mindfully to help organizations change.

William non era mai stato disonesto con Anna, non aveva finto di amarla per conquistarla. Il loro era un rapporto deviato e corrotto. Una relazione simile a una crudele spirale in grado di trascinare entrambi sempre pi in basso, verso un inevitabile disastro. Lui l'aveva fatta sentire importante, l'aveva fatta sentire una nullit , l'aveva fatta sentire sporca. Soprattutto l'aveva trasformata nell'oggetto di un desiderio potentissimo e assoluto. Non rimpiangeva nulla, Anna, ma era stanca del loro gioco. Stanca al punto di mettere la parola fine alla loro folle storia. Non poteva per prevedere le conseguenze di quella scelta.
Workers, Establishment, and Services in the European Union

Workers, Establishment, and Services in the European Union

Robin C. A. White

The free movement of persons and services are key elements, alongside the free movement of goods and capital, in the fundamental freedoms which underpin the European internal market. In recent years two key themes have emerged from the case law of the European Court of Justice. The first is convergence in the case law on the free movement of goods, persons, and services in order to ensure the operation of the internal market through the prohibition of discrimination and the outlawing of unjustified obstacles to free movement. The second is the case law on the rights which flow from the introduction of citizenship of the European Union, which offer constitutional rights for individuals. The tensions between these two lines of authority can be explained through a fresh approach to the analysis and synthesis of the Treaty rules and secondary legislation of the European Community, and of the case law of the European Court of Justice on free movement of persons and services. This approach is based on distinguishing between those rules which relate mainly to the regulation of business activities in the internal market, and those which are mainly concerned with individual rights for citizens of the European Union. The result is a detailed overview of the law relating to workers, establishment, and services in the EU in this modern context.

Notorious Women of Old California

Notorious Women of Old California

Early California had its share of colorful residents, men and women alike. After gold was discovered in the largely uninhabited territory in 1849, people flooded in from around the world to seek their fortune, building a bustling international population in accelerated time. It was the natural place for unconventional types to thrive, and the first 50 years of California statehood produced more than its share of fascinating characters, many of them female. For instance, there's Madame Mustache who was a first-rate gambler known throughout the West for her agile fingers at vingt-et-un and the dark line of hair on her upper lip. There was Jeanne Bonnet, a French cross-dresser who caught and sold frogs for a living and launched a crusade to single-handedly liberate prostitutes from their pimps. Sadly, she was murdered, inspiring the never-solved "San Miguel Mystery." And what about the Countess de Henriot who sashayed into San Francisco's Palace Hotel one day with a dozen trunks and servants in tow? She served prospective husbands fine champagne and caviar and let them fawn all over her for months...until somebody started asking questions about her origins. There are these and many more eccentric personalities to discover in this compendium of notorious women of old California, from swindlers to performers to murderers and beyond.
Enchantress, Sorceress, Madwoman: The True Story of Sarah Althea Hill, Adventuress of Old San Francisco
Early San Francisco had more than its share of colorful characters. The bold, ruthless and adventurous flooded in after gold was discovered in 1848. Among those early pioneers was David Smith Terry, known as Terry the Terrible, the Supreme Court Justice who fought the duel that ended dueling in California. Another was William Sharon, King of the Comstock, a millionaire and a United States Senator. And then there was the notorious Mary Ellen "Mammy" Pleasant, a woman whose story still mystifies and enthralls historians, who has been praised as the mother of California civil rights and has been called a swindler, voodoo priestess, murderer and more.By the 1880s, these legendary figures had already seen a lot of fast living. If they were looking forward to their quiet golden years, they must have been greatly disappointed at the turn life took when the tempestuous Sarah Althea Hill came to town. She swept through the city, scattering destruction in her wake. When the chaos was over, some people recovered, others did not, but Sarah herself would suffer one of the saddest fates of all.She was beautiful, talented and intelligent. She set off the scandal of the Gilded Age. And then she was forgotten. Until now.

Did you know that the first and only woman to ever walk across Niagara Falls on a tightrope was Italian Maria Spelterini in 1876? Or that the first American to earn an international pilot's license was Bessie Coleman, an African American woman, in 1921? And what about the first Hollywood stunt woman, Helen Gibson, who got her start in 1914 stunt doubling on the series "The Hazards of Helen"? Or Marie Marvingt, the Frenchwoman who, in 1909, became the first woman to pilot a hot-air balloon across the English Channel? And who could forget that daredevil race car driver, Joan Newton Cuneo, who, in 1909, blazed past so many male racers that the industry banned women from racing altogether? Unfortunately, most of us have forgotten her...and all the rest of them. But it doesn't have to be that way. These are the true stories of women who made history 100 years ago, women who bucked the system and pursued their dreams, sometimes against ferocious odds, risking life and limb. They were all fearless. But they were all unique as well, bringing their talents and passions to a wide variety of pursuits. All of these women deserve to be remembered for their guts, their glory and their historical significance. Not to mention that their lives were simply fascinating.Robin C. Johnson has written an informative, entertaining and poignant book about 45 of the most remarkable women in history, with over 150 period illustrations and photos that make the stories spring to life. The perfect inspirational gift for a girl or young woman.
Marital Cruelty in Antebellum America

Marital Cruelty in Antebellum America

Robin C. Sager

Louisiana State University Press
2016
sidottu
In Marital Cruelty in Antebellum America, Robin C. Sager probes the struggles of aggrieved spouses shedding light on the nature of marriage and violence in the United States in the decades prior to the Civil War. analysing over 1,500 divorce records that reveal intimate details of marriages in conflict in Virginia, Texas, and Wisconsin from 1840--1860, Sager offers a rare glimpse into the private lives of ordinary Americans shaken by accusations of cruelty. At a time when the standard for an ideal marriage held that both partners adequately perform their respective duties, hostility often arose from ongoing domestic struggles for power. Despite a rise in the then novel expectation of marriage as a companionate relationship, and even in the face of liberalised divorce grounds, marital conflicts often focused on violations of duty, not lack of love. Sager describes how, in this environment, cruelty was understood as a failure to fulfill expectations and as a weapon to brutally enforce more traditional interpretations of marital duty. Sager's findings also challenge historical literature's assumptions about the regional influences on violence, showing that married southerners were no more or less violent than their midwestern counterparts. Her work reveals how definitions and perceptions of cruelty varied according to the gender of victim and perpetrator. Correcting historical mischaracterisations of women's violence as trivial, rare, or defensive, Sager finds antebellum wives both capable and willing to commit a wide variety of cruelties within their marriages. Her research provides details about the reality of nineteenth-century conjugal unions, including the deep unhappiness buried within them.

This book draws together theoretical and applied aspects of extracellular hydrolytic enzymes in spoilage, and thus provides information and analysis of interest to microbiologists and biochemists, as well as up-to-date methods and recommendations of value to food scientists and processors. The first section deals with psychrotroph proteinases, lipases, and phospholipases in milk and dairy products, and covers such aspects as producer microorganisms, biochemical classification of enzymes, physical and biochemical properties, thermal stability, regulation and control of synthesis and assay methods. Particular emphasis is placed on commercially important areas such as physical and biochemical effects in food components and influence on shelf life and product quality. The problems of standardization and control of enzymes in dairy products, as well as areas for future research, are critically examined. The poorly understood role of psychrotroph extracellular enzymes in meat, fish, and poultry is also discussed in a separate section under such headings as physical and biochemical effects on tissue and contribution to growth and penetration of the producer organism.
