This volume's goal is to help readers understand how people react
to career barriers and how people develop constructive ways of
coping with them. Drawing on original cases and data from
interviews with people who faced different types of career
barriers, the author describes how people react to, and make sense
of, unfortunate events in their lives--and career barriers when
they occur. He considers how and why some people cope
constructively while others don't, and explores how resilience and
support from others help get us through tough times and emerge with
a sense of renewal and career growth. He suggests how we can manage
career barriers and prepare for--or even prevent--career barriers
through foresight, planning, and education. These methods also
suggest what managers and organizations should do to help their
employees who are or may soon be facing career barriers.
This book is a practical guide for managers to increase and support employee engagement through stronger performance management tools and techniques. In this second edition, Edward Mone and Manuel London incorporate new developments in the field, including discussion of issues about the value of challenging goals, annual formal appraisals, forced ranking, and ways to give constructive feedback. The authors expand the traditional notion of performance management to include building trust, creating conditions of empowerment, managing team learning, and maintaining ongoing straightforward communications about performance, all of which are critical to employee engagement. Case studies offer concrete examples, and checklists and surveys supply managers with ways to assess employee engagement as well as directions for increasing engagement. An up-to-date, straightforward guide, this book is appropriate for graduate students in Employee Engagement, Human Resources, and Management Studies, as well as scholars and practitioners in those fields.

There is already considerable literature on learning at the individual level and a growing body of literature on group and organizational learning. But to date, there has been little attempt to bring these literatures together and link learning at all three levels. "Continuous Learning in Organizations" targets learning at each of the three levels and demonstrates how processes at one level impacts learning at other levels. At the heart of the work is the idea that individuals, groups, and organizations are living systems with internal learning mechanisms that can be activated and supported or stymied and thwarted. Once activated, systems can learn adaptively by reacting to a change in the environment; they can learn by generating new knowledge and conditions; and/or they can transform by creating and applying frame-breaking ideas and bringing about radically new conditions. Individuals, groups, and organizations are nested within each other forming an increasingly complex hierarchy of intertwined systems. From this point of view, the book describes the interactions between the levels and how developmental processes at one level affect learning at other levels. The text appeals to both the scientist and professionals alike in the fields of human resource development, training, management and executive education, coaching, and organization change and development. It is also for executives who establish directions for learning and need to convince others that continuous learning is the key to on-going success of their enterprise.
"Leadership Development" explores how leaders gain and use
self-knowledge for continuous improvement and career development
and describes how leaders help themselves and the people with whom
they work, understand themselves, and become more self-determined,
continuous learners, and make the most of resources, such as
feedback and coaching. This book explains why leaders need support
for self-insight and professional growth in today's business
environment. It explores dimensions of effective leadership in
light of business, technological, and economic trends. Focusing on
the importance of leaders developing accurate self-understanding,
the book defines self-insight, outlines the meaning of internal
strength and resilience for self-regulation, and considers how
leaders attain a meaningful and realistic sense of self-identity.

Evaluating and making decisions about other people are key aspects
of doing business, especially for managers and human resource
professionals. Industrial and organizational psychologists devise
systematic methods to remove human errors in judgment, such as
biases and stereotypes. However many decisions about people are not
made by experts using standard procedures. Even when they are,
human judgment is unavoidable.
