Titel: Evidence-Based Mental Health Practice - A Textbook
Auteur: Jim Harris
ISBN: 9781841120096
Conditie: Als nieuw

Oiginizatton, deregulation, globalization, new competitors, Net-based businesses, liquid intellectual capital — are rewriting the rules of business, In times of rapid change, experience may be your worst enemy! Almost every rule we knew about business has changed. Change, creativity and ingenuity are the drivers of growth. Organizations thrive by creating new value for customers. Over 80 percent of the technology we will use in 10 years hasn’t been invented yet! What can you do to prepare for the future? Learn how to learn; adopt a discipline of self reflection and self correction; increase your creativity and become a better team member. The Learning Paradox will show you how to:

• CREATE new markets, products & services
• DESIGN systems & structures for growth
• MAXIMIZE shareholder value, employee security and customer loyalty by creating effective monopolies
• LOCK customers into new relationships that delight
• ATTRACT and retain the best employees
• KEEP margins higher than your industry average

In the past, a secure job came from working for a large, stable organization, preferably a monopoly or market leader in a stable industry. The longer your service (seniority in a union), higher your rank or the more specialized your knowledge or function, the more secure you were. Everything that used to create security now creates insecurity! Large companies are the largest net job losers. Stable companies in stable industries are facing stiff competition from new challengers as a result of digitization, deregulation and globalization. Monopolies are crumbling. Even governments are outsourcing. Old-style unions that resist new practices decrease their members’ security. Workers who haven't learned new skills in 25 years are more likely to get a pink slip than a gold watch. And if you have vour PhD you likely know a lot about outdated stuff. We have moved from a knowledge-based to a iearning-based economy. Learning, changing and accepting uncertainty alone create security. Paradoxically, these are what we fear most as adults! How can you:

• Build a positive, motivating vision of the future while expenencing the wrenching effect of reorganization and change?
• focus people on the corporate challenges when they are so focused on job security?
• Align people with the corporate strategy when they seem so cynical?
• Create, innovate and continuously improve while maiìntaìning the stability and security that people need?
• Maintain control, yet allow people the freedom and autonomy to do what they need to be effective and satisfied in their work?
• Create learning organizations when people are reluctant to take risks and be open about their mistakes?
• Have people take responsibility for their careers and lives when they feel like victims of uncontrollable circumstances?
• Develop leaders who are powerful without diminishing the power of others?
• Generate confidence when the leaders themselves are not sure what the future will bring?

The Learning Paradox will answer these questions and address the challenges organizations are facing.

This book is priceless.” LOUPRITCHETT.
