This thought-provoking history of corporate responsibility in the USA is a landmark publication documenting the story of corporate power and business behavior from the mid-eighteenth century to the modern day. It shows how the idea of corporate responsibility has evolved over time, with the roles, responsibilities and performance of corporations coming increasingly under the spotlight as new norms of transparency and accountability emerge. Today, it is expected that a corporation will be transparent in its operations; that it will reflect ethical values that are broadly shared by others in society; and that companies will enable society to achieve environmental sustainability as well as a high standard of living. As we enter the second decade of the twenty-first century, the social, political and economic landscape is once again shifting: the need for an informed public conversation about what is expected of the modern corporation has never been greater.

This book explores a set of concepts that are fundamental for successful leadership of an Information Technology (IT) business. The ideas and concepts explored here have emerged from a ten-year collaboration between the authors in creating professional development programs to support and enhance the remarkable success of a particular IT company - the Information Systems (I/S) Division of BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina. However, the book is about more than one company's success. Anyone facing the challenge of leading an IT company, an IT unit, or IT projects of most any size will find ideas and concepts here that resonate with their experiences and that will provoke them to think in new and more productive ways about the work they do. This book is the third of a three-book series on the art and science of managing an IT company. In the first book of the series, Picasso on a Schedule, a unique IT organizational structure called the Hierarchical Matrix was described and a framework of repeatable processes for its Matrix component was defined. The Matrix component of the structure focuses on producing the quality technical work that IT clients expect and demand. The Hierarchy component of the structure focuses on managing the resources necessary for the production of that work. In the second book of the series, Managing Picasso, the study of the Hierarchical Matrix was extended with a description of a framework of repeatable processes for the Hierarchy (Management) component of the structure. The Hierarchy's mission has two major features. First it must enable the IT organization's current success by creating and managing a technical workforce that consistently produces excellent client value. Second, it must ensure that the organization remains positioned for long-term success. To accomplish this two-fold mission, those in the Hierarchy must have the technical competence to deal with the creative nature of IT work, and the business competence to employ the best-practices under which successful non-IT businesses operate. Managing Picasso is an accessible reference guide to a framework of repeatable IT management processes that enable the accomplishment of this mission. The current book, Leading Picasso, completes the study of the Hierarchical Matrix with a focus on the leadership concepts necessary to enable both the Hierarchy and the Matrix components to be successful in carrying out their respective responsibilities. Both formal and informal leadership are required for this success, and Leading Picasso addresses both types of leadership, offering a conceptual leadership framework and practical techniques for applying this framework to the work of leadership. Just as is true within the day-to-day work of both the Hierarchy and the Matrix, leadership involves a delicate blend of art and science. Indeed, leadership depends heavily on applying the arts of intuition, vision, courage, and steadfastness in setting direction, then guiding and inspiring other people to accomplish a desired result through influence. This book explores how leaders can accomplish this by employing a set of skills and behaviors that constitute the strengths that actually define a Leader and enable the effective employment of Culture and Vision necessary to successfully adapt their organization for success in changing circumstances.

Criminal Conduct and Substance Abuse Treatment: Strategies for Self-Improvement and Change (SSC), The Participant’s Workbook, is a 50-session, comprehensive guide, designed to help individuals overcome substance abuse, criminal behavior, and antisocial tendencies. It is structured into three phases: Challenge to Change, Commitment to Change, and Ownership of Change, each focusing on specific skills and strategies for personal growth and responsible living. The Workbook is intended for use by justice involved clients with co-occurring substance use issues and criminal conduct, guided by counselors skilled in Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive-Behavioral treatment techniques. The curriculum is designed to be delivered in structured treatment settings including jails, prisons, parole, outpatient and residential community settings. It can be delivered in group or individual treatment modalities. Phase I: Challenge to Change This phase introduces participants to the Cognitive-Behavioral (CB) Map, which helps identify how thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs influence emotions and actions. Participants learn to recognize high-risk situations and thinking patterns that lead to substance abuse and criminal conduct. Key skills include mental self-control, relaxation techniques, and managing urges and cravings. Modules focus on understanding personal history, identifying problem areas, and setting relapse and recidivism prevention goals. Participants develop a Master Profile (MP) and Master Assessment Plan (MAP) to guide their journey, using worksheets and exercises to reflect on past behaviors, identify triggers, and set goals for change. Phase II: Commitment to Change This phase emphasizes skill development for responsible living, including problem-solving, assertiveness, and managing anger in relationships. Participants learn to give and receive compliments, resolve conflicts, and build healthy intimate relationships. Modules address moral reasoning, empathy, and prosocial behavior, encouraging respect for others and positive community contributions. Cognitive-behavioral strategies, such as the STEP Method (Situation, Thinking Change, Emotions, Positive Action/Outcome), help participants achieve positive outcomes by changing their thoughts and beliefs. Communication skills, such as active sharing and listening, are emphasized to improve relationships and prevent relapse and recidivism. Phase III: Ownership of Change The final phase focuses on taking full ownership of the changes made in earlier phases. Participants strengthen relapse and recidivism prevention plans, develop critical reasoning skills, and create a balanced lifestyle. Modules include managing work and time, engaging in healthy leisure activities, relaxation techniques, healthy eating, and physical activity. Participants are encouraged to give back to their community through mentoring and role modeling, reinforcing their commitment to responsible living. The goal is to sustain a drug-free and crime-free life while contributing positively to the community.
