Basandose en una cantidad significativa de nuevas investigaciones procedentes de multiples fuentes, Richard Barrett construye un texto convincente acerca de por que las organizaciones impulsadas por valores son las que mas exito tienen en todo el planeta. Segun Barrett, comprender las necesidades de los empleados -lo que las personas valoran- es clave a la hora de crear una organizacion de alto rendimiento. Cuando se apoya a los empleados en la satisfaccion de sus necesidades, estos responden con compromiso y creatividad en sus trabajos.

En este taller encontrarás modelos y herramientas para reinventar los equipos y facilitar la adopción de las nuevas formas de pensar y actuar requeridas para crear organizaciones del futuro. Es una invitación a transformar la forma en la que trabajamos en equipo, desplegando el potencial de cada uno de sus miembros y del equipo en sí mismo Cuenta con una introducción conceptual y explicación de modelos que repasa además de los 10 arquetipos: Equipo Convencionales • Práctico Reactivo y Proactivo • Sociable Reactivo y Proactivo • Reactivo y Proactivo Equipo del Futuro • Facilitador • Turo • Mentor • Sabio las ideas de Cultura, Organización y Transformación y un bloque de ejercicios y dinámicas de aplicación práctica. Los materiales incluidos están pensados para utilizarlos en talleres formativos o en el trabajo diario de directivos con sus equipos. El autor propone una forma de analizar el papel que cada uno de los integrantes desempeña en el equipo. Cada uno de los arquetipos, desde su nivel evolutivo, aporta valor en un determinado tipo de tareas o en determinados contextos. Ser capaz de identificar el arquetipo desde el que cada uno funciona, abre conversaciones que ayudan al equipo y ayudan al profesional. Héctor Infer ha sido un pionero en entender las organizaciones como sistemas vivos que evolucionan. Su trabajo junto a «Barrett Values Centre» es un referente desde hace más de dos décadas. En este taller el autor traslada al funcionamiento de los equipos el modelo de transformación cultural basado en valores, de una forma práctica y amena.

This book provides a set of principles for fostering innovation in people (workers and consumers), in firms and in government, taking an in-depth look at the scope of innovation and how it is changing, as well as where and how it is occurring.

Dennis Dalton's classic account of Gandhi's political and intellectual development focuses on the leader's two signal triumphs: the civil disobedience movement (or salt satyagraha) of 1930 and the Calcutta fast of 1947. Dalton clearly demonstrates how Gandhi's lifelong career in national politics gave him the opportunity to develop and refine his ideals. He then concludes with a comparison of Gandhi's methods and the strategies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, drawing a fascinating juxtaposition that enriches the biography of all three figures and asserts Gandhi's relevance to the study of race and political leadership in America. Dalton situates Gandhi within the "clash of civilizations" debate, identifying the implications of his work on continuing nonviolent protests. He also extensively reviews Gandhian studies and adds a detailed chronology of events in Gandhi's life.

For information on the online course in Biological Wastewater Treatment from UNESCO-IHE, visit: http://www.iwapublishing.co.uk/books/biological-wastewater-treatment-online-course-principles-modeling-and-design Over the past twenty years, the knowledge and understanding of wastewater treatment have advanced extensively and moved away from empirically-based approaches to a first principles approach embracing chemistry, microbiology, physical and bioprocess engineering, and mathematics. Many of these advances have matured to the degree that they have been codified into mathematical models for simulation with computers. For a new generation of young scientists and engineers entering the wastewater treatment profession, the quantity, complexity and diversity of these new developments can be overwhelming, particularly in developing countries where access is not readily available to advanced level tertiary education courses in wastewater treatment. Biological Wastewater Treatment addresses this deficiency. It assembles and integrates the postgraduate course material of a dozen or so professors from research groups around the world that have made significant contributions to the advances in wastewater treatment. The book forms part of an internet-based curriculum in biological wastewater treatment which also includes: Summarized lecture handouts of the topics covered in book Filmed lectures by the author professors Tutorial exercises for students self-learning Upon completion of this curriculum the modern approach of modelling and simulation to wastewater treatment plant design and operation, be it activated sludge, biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal, secondary settling tanks or biofilm systems, can be embraced with deeper insight, advanced knowledge and greater confidence.
