Pendleton, Furnham and Cowell's work is a powerful combination of the best research on the psychology of leadership and years of iteration and practical implementation in the field - working with thousands of leaders from all walks of life and learning from their successes and challenges. There is no one secret recipe for success as a leader. What this book provides is a framework to enable you to achieve success in your own way.

Das Bildungspersonal bedarf vor dem Hintergrund einer Vielzahl junger Menschen im UEbergangssystem einer besonderen Qualifizierung. Im Hinblick darauf erweitert Kristin Hecker in der vorliegenden Studie das Konzept der beruflichen Handlungskompetenz um spezielle padagogische Kompetenzen und die "VEIT" Formel. Mithilfe einer Analyse des ausserst komplexen und unuberschaubaren UEbergangssystems gepaart mit der Sichtweise der in diesem Feld Tatigen entwickelt die Autorin ein Kompetenzprofil des Bildungspersonals, das dessen Aus- und Weiterbildung neu auszurichten vermag. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt hierbei auf dem notwendigen Ausbau padagogisch-psychologischer, diagnostischer und didaktischer Kompetenzen, um damit auch einen Beitrag zur nachhaltigen Integration sozial Benachteiligter in das Bildungs und Berufssystem zu leisten.

Bei der vorliegenden Studie handelt es sich um die abschliessende Auswertung des Forschungsprojekts "Wirksam- keit von berufsvorbereitenden Massnahmen und Foerderungslehr- gangen im Kontext der Lebenswelt arbeits- und ausbildungs- loser Jugendlicher - Problemregion Duisburg". Das Projekt wurde im Fachgebiet BerufspadagogikjBerufsbildungsforschung an der Universitat-GH-Duisburg durchgefuhrt, und zwar mit finanzieller Unterstutzung durch den Minister fur Wissen- schaft und Forschung des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen. Der Auswertung liegen insgesamt 196 Interviews zugrunde. Es handelt sich dabei um Mehrfachbefragungen von 74 jungen Mannern und Frauen, die zwischen Herbst 1986 und Sommer 1987 an J6-Lehrgangen bei freien Tragern oder an betrieb- lichen Foerderlehrgangen teilnahmen. Die Frage nach dem Sinn solcher Untersuchungen drangt sich auf: Sind berufsvorbereitende Massnahmen und Foerderlehrgange nicht nur temporar und lokal begrenzte Notloesungen von eher tagespolitischer Bedeutung? zu Beginn unseres Forschungs- projekts wies die Ausbildungsstellenbilanz fur das gesamte Bundesgebiet einen negativen Saldo aus. Die Forderung nach mehr Mitteln fur die Erweiterung des Angebots an Massnahmen war ebensowenig uberhoerbar wie deren schlechter Ruf. Inzwischen hat sich der Ausbildungsstellen- und Arbeits- markt global entspannt. Das bildungspolitische Interesse und die aus oeffentlichen Mitteln finanzierten Forschungs- schwerpunkte verlagern sich auf andere Themenbereiche.

Die Studie bezieht Institutionen als padagogische Organisationsformen und Beratungen als interaktive Prozesse systematisch aufeinander. Mit dem Ziel, die latenten Einflusse der institutionellen Anbieter und die ihrer Trager auf Beratungen in der Weiterbildung zu rekonstruieren, werden Beratungen einer Volkshochschule und einer kommunalen Weiterbildungsberatungsstelle interaktionsanalytisch und ethnografisch untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Weiterbildungsberatungen nicht nur eine inner- und ausserinstitutionelle Lotsenfunktion ubernehmen und von institutionellen Interessen geleitet werden, sondern auch massgeblich vom institutionellen (Nicht-)Wissen und den Routinen der Beratenden abhangig sind.
