ASIN: 0787902160 |
Book Description
Even the most carefully planned organizational changes can fail if individuals are not taken into consideration. The Human Side of Change is a step-by-step action plan for the change process that takes full advantage of an organization's greatest resource: its people. From planning to implementation to behavior change, Timothy J. Galpin shows how a well-orchestrated approach--one that pays attention to the soft sideDrawing on a decade of consulting experience with businesses and governments around the world, Timothy J. Galpin outlines a nine-step process for effectively combining the human and technical sides of change for successful mergers, downsizing, and restructuring. The Human Side of Change offers managers, frontline supervisors and human resource professionals valuable tools, techniques, and examples to help them gain support for change at all levels of an organization. With numerous charts, graphs, and a glossary of change-management terms, this book is both an ideal blueprint and an accessible quick reference for the implementation of stable and sustained transformation.

Pithy, Practical Guide to Mapping Change.......2001-06-30
Galpin points out repeatedly that change is a process that takes a period of time to institute. The model of change proposed is a nine spoked wheel outlining clearly the organizational steps required to proceed through the process. Appendix A and B are lists of questions that need to be addressed in this steps of the change process.
Most useful are the eight topics relevant to change. There is a chapter devoted to each topic. The topics are teams, communications, culture, leadership, goal setting, performance measurement, coaching and rewards.
One of the most important concepts in this book is related to the idea that change cannot occur without changing the culture of the organization. Ten areas of organizational culture are identified. The change agent is encouraged to analyze each area of the culture and change all possible relevant aspects of the culture in order to support the proposed change.
Communication is also stressed. In order to involve all the organizational players, there needs to be communication to and from each person. Ongoing methods of distribution of information and acquiring feedback need to be implemented. It is not enough to passively submit to listening to feedback. Specific feedback needs to be sought.
This reviewer appreciated the pithy, pointed format of this book. Other individuals who have also read this book, told this reviewer that they think this book should be required reading for the healthcare industry. However, the book invites further discovery in the topic of change.

Parallax: The Race to Measure the Cosmos
Alan W. Hirshfeld Manufacturer: Owl Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0805071334 |
Book Description
How can we measure the distance to a star? Beginning in ancient Greece, historys greatest scientific minds applied themselves to the problem in vain. Not until the nineteenth century would three men, armed with the best telescopes of their age, race to conquer this astronomical Everest. Parallax tells the fast-moving story of their contest, which ended in a dead heat. Against a sweeping backdrop filled with kidnappings, dramatic rescue, swordplay, madness, and bitter rivalry, Alan W. Hirshfeld brings to life the heroesand heroinesof this remarkable chapter in history. Characters include the destitute boy plucked from a collapsed building who grew up to become the worlds greatest telescope maker; the hot-tempered Dane whose nose was lopped off in a duel over mathematics; a merchants apprentice forced to choose between the lure of money and his passion for astronomy; and the musician who astounded the world by discovering a new planet from his own backyard.Generously illustrated with period engravings and paintings, Parallax is an unforgettable ride through time and space.Customer Reviews:

Sometimes It Takes More Than Just A Clever Mind.......2004-12-22
magnificent.......2004-01-06
The balance of the book is outstanding; each progression of understanding of the magnitude of the problem is presented with equal weight. The actual magnitude and dimensions of the problem (physically measuring the movement of a star from the exremes of the earths orbit) are described in bite sized increments, until by the time that the problem is surmounted in the mid 1800s, the full appreciation of the achievement is inescapable. If genius is "an infinite capacitiy for details", then the astronomers, and Dr. Hirshfeld both fully qualify for the title.
I am enthusiastically recommending this book to every literate person I know. It is satisfying and mind stretching, beautifully constructed, illustrated and edited. A great book!
