DIRIGIR EN EL SIGLO XXI ¿Qué está pasando hoy en día con y en las organizaciones?; ¿Hacia dónde apuntan las tendencias del cambio organizacional?; ¿Es posible orientar la cultura en el sentido que marcan las nuevas condiciones del entorno?; ¿Qué factores hay que considerar al hacer cambios para asegurar su éxito? Estas y otras preguntas se las plantean cotidianamente quienes, tanto en el sector académico como en el laboral, están preocupados por lograr en las organizaciones niveles cada vez más altos de eficiencia, productividad y calidad, en un ambiente de trabajo que propicie la motivación, el desarrollo y el compromiso de las personas. En este libro, Horacio Andrade les da respuestas basado en su larga experiencia como consultor, como periodista y como profesor de postgrado en diversas instituciones de educación superior. La idea subyacente a las reflexiones que el autor hace alrededor de temas tan variados como el cambio, la cultura y el comportamiento organizacionales, es precisamente la que da título al libro: Cambio o Fuera. En un mundo en constante transformación, las organizaciones deben ser sensibles a lo que sucede en su entorno, desarrollar una capacidad de respuesta rápida y adelantarse a los cambios para no verse rebasadas, y finalmente desplazadas, por ellos.

El quehacer del periodista se ha modificado sustancialmente. Los materiales periodísticos impresos, televisivos o radiofónicos se producen hoy de manera completamente distinta a la de hace años. Las tecnologías de la comunicación y de la información posibilitaron que se redujera el tiempo y el espacio, lo que ha reducido el tiempo de reflexión y de investigación. El periodismo en línea, en tiempo real, los blogs y las herramientas de las redes sociales digitales constituyen innovaciones en las rutinas profesionales. Pero ¿cómo observa el profesional de la información esos cambios? ¿Qué piensa el periodista sobre su propio trabajo y sobre el periodismo en general? ¿Cómo la actividad laboral le organiza su vida? ¿Qué tipo de consumidor mediático es el periodista?

June is a typical, if angst-y, teenager. She loves her friends and her hobbies. And she even likes school (though she might not ever tell you that). One thing that she is not terribly fond of...her looks. June cannot help but to criticize herself every chance she gets, and particularly when she can see her reflection. She is all but convinced that her looks are the sole reason that boys are not interested in her. Enter even MORE self doubt. One night, June and her friends go out to a local café bookstore for a poetry slam. As usual, June is nervous and antsy about her appearance - that is until she forgets all about how she looks when she, quite literally, bumps into Micha at the event. Micha is tall, attractive and very friendly. And to June's surprise, he spends a lot of the evening talking to HER!While affable and fun, Micha is also nervous and shy around girls. He is pretty new at all of this kind of socialization, too, mostly because Micha is kinda new at being Micha, never mind that he's fifteen and a little awkward. But when he crashes into June at the open-mic night, he falls pretty hard - almost immediately - for June.The two teens happily carry their newfound friendship to the next level (Snapchat, of course), and they even make plans to meet up the following week. At least that is the plan until, well, COVID. Undeterred, the two carry on virtually, getting to know one another better. June is astonished that such a great guy would be interested in her - and Micha feels the same about June. But all is not rosy in COVID-landia, with the pandemic only serving as a backdrop to even more teenage trauma, the kind that is not fixed by a pint of Ben & Jerry's. The pandemic wreaks havoc in so many ways? Will truths come out? Will June and Micha figure it out? And really, will they, or anyone, again ever be able to go out?
