Pages : 203
Book Description
Just as they should, every new principal, superintendent and board member promises to establish a welcoming and inclusive learning environment, listen intently to stakeholders, and engage the community in the educational process. Indeed, those are wonderful promises...and we have every reason to believe they are the genuine intentions of our school and district leaders. Unfortunately, after just a few hours on the job, many of these trailblazers realize their school or department is neither welcoming nor inclusive, stakeholders have no voice, and the community gave up on engagement years ago. That's when we call Jeff Nash - the nation's foremost authority on school customer service. Jeff worked in public education for three decades as a teacher, coach and administrator, including ten years as his superintendent's right hand. Along the way, he became a highly sought-after trainer, presenter and keynoter. This book should be required reading for every school and district leader - as well as every office professional who will greet a customer, answer a phone or send an email. The tidbits of practical wisdom Jeff has gathered are compiled in this easy-to-read guide that makes delivering great customer service rewarding, gratifying and attainable.

The Future of the Office
Author: Peter Cappelli
Publisher: Wharton School Press
ISBN: 1613631367
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 109
Book Description
A GLOBE & MAIL BEST BUSINESS BOOK OF 2021 The COVID-19 pandemic forced an unprecedented experiment that reshaped white-collar work and turned remote work into a kind of "new normal." Now comes the hard part. Many employees want to continue that normal and keep working remotely, and most at least want the ability to work occasionally from home. But for employers, the benefits of employees working from home or hybrid approaches are not so obvious. What should both groups do? In a prescient new book, The Future of the Office: Work from Home, Remote Work, and the Hard Choices We All Face, Wharton professor Peter Cappelli lays out the facts in an effort to provide both employees and employers with a vision of their futures. Cappelli unveils the surprising tradeoffs both may have to accept to get what they want. Cappelli illustrates the challenges we face by in drawing lessons from the pandemic and deciding what to do moving forward. Do we allow some workers to be permanently remote? Do we let others choose when to work from home? Do we get rid of their offices? What else has to change, depending on the approach we choose? His research reveals there is no consensus among business leaders. Even the most high-profile and forward-thinking companies are taking divergent approaches: --Facebook, Twitter, and other tech companies say many employees can work remotely on a permanent basis. --Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and others say it is important for everyone to come back to the office. --Ford is redoing its office space so that most employees can work from home at least part of the time, and --GM is planning to let local managers work out arrangements on an ad-hoc basis. As Cappelli examines, earlier research on other types of remote work, including telecommuting offers some guidance as to what to expect when some people will be in the office and others work at home, and also what happened when employers tried to take back offices. Neither worked as expected. In a call to action for both employers and employees, Cappelli explores how we should think about the choices going forward as well as who wins and who loses. As he implores, we have to choose soon.

The Emotionally Intelligent Office

Publisher: School of Life Press
ISBN: 9780995753587
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
An in-depth exploration of what really lies behind our problematic behavioural patterns in the workplace, and a blueprint for the emotional skills we need to overcome them. Modern businesses place huge emphasis on technical training. And yet a lot of what determines the success or failure of organisations has nothing to do with the sort of hard skills taught at business school; instead, it comes down to the degree of emotional intelligence circulating in the workplace. This is a book that introduces us to twenty core emotional skills that can help businesses to flourish. They range from giving honest feedback, to accepting that it's OK to fail, to addressing jealousies and insecurities within teams. We learn about how our childhoods continue to have an often unhelpful impact on how we deal with colleagues, and the best ways we might speak so that others will listen. The book is informed by the practical work that the Learning and Development division of The School of Life carries out, endeavouring to change the culture within organisations around the world through teaching teams the art of emotional intelligence. It shows us not only how to be a more effective worker, but a more well-balanced human too.
