Ancient Greece, the culture that brought us democracy, philosophy,
comedy and tragedy, and the Olympic Games, and ancient Rome, best
known for its military prowess, technological achievements, and
imperial administration, are justly renowned for their
contributions to Western civilization. Wisdom from the Ancients
brings alive for today's managers the timeless insights of such
larger-than-life figures as Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar,
Trajan, Pericles, and dozens of other colorful and enigmatic
leaders. Through direct quotations of ancient texts, engaging
commentary, and period art, the authors illuminate the strategies
and tactics that have withstood the test of time-from leadership
and delegation to managing conflict to effective and persuasive
communication.
Although previous studies have clarified the general
characteristics and manifestations of teaching anxiety and
established the need for more effective teacher preparation
programs, most do not reflect the practices or concerns of
college-level writing instructors or indicate how or why they
experience anxiety. This study, therefore, examines how the
rhetorical and situational elements of writing instruction
contribute to teaching anxiety and to what extent composition
instructors attempt to resolve or minimize the effects of potential
triggers and symptoms, thereby addressing these questions: -What
work-related factors trigger teaching anxiety? -What personal
characteristics predispose some composition instructors to anxiety?
-How do composition instructors respond to and/or cope with bouts
of anxiety? -Finally, how might faculty mentoring programs (such as
teaching groups) be used to both identify and alleviate factors
that cause or exacerbate anxiety? This book is directed towards new
and experienced composition instructors (including graduate
teaching assistants), writing program administrators, and
researchers in Composition Studies and Rhetoric.
