Facilitator's Guide to Participatory Decision-Making (Jossey-Bass Business & Management) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After having read about 30 facilitation/negotiation books, I have to conclude that this is the best. A lot of thought has gone into both the process and the presentation of the facilitation process in this book. I always recommend this book to my teaching assistants and often give them a copy free of charge. If you buy just one book in this area, make it this one! By the way, I have no connection whatsoever with either the authors or the publishers involved. I just believe that this is far and away the best book for facilitators. Not only does it have the best ideas, but it also has the best visual presentation of those ideas!

Salsa, Soul, and Spirit: Leadership for a Multicultural Age Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Juana Bordas' Salsa, Soul and Spirit belongs on the book shelf of every forward-thinking leader, management expert and leadership trainer. In compelling, personal language, she makes the case for the development of new leadership practices that reflect the realities of today's multicultural society. In challenging times when it is easy to feel discouraged by the divisions and "isms" of politics and social ills, the author shines a light on a new path of hope and collaboration. This book should find its way quickly into the required reading lists of leadership programs across the country and beyond.

As the world becomes flatter and globalization creates a world village, it is imperative that leaders have the cultural flexibility and adaptability to inspire and guide people from very distinct backgrounds that represents the whole rainbow of humanity. Salsa, Soul and Spirit: Leadership for a Multicultural Nation puts forth a multicultural leadership model that integrates eight practices from African American, Indian and Latino communities. Using principles such as ?Sankofa ? the ability to learn from the past?, ?I to We ? From Individualism to collective identity?, and ?Mi casa es su casa ?Developing a generosity of spirit?, this model offers leaders new approaches that will increase their interpersonal effectiveness with diverse populations by incorporating the influences, practices and values of a variety of cultures in a respectful and productive manner.
