Managing Selection in Changing Organizations: Human Resource Strategies ReviewAs stated by series editor Eduardo Salas, "this volume is about the practice of selection strategies in rapidly changing organizations. A timely topic for both practitioners and scientists. Jerard F. Kehoe was able to assemble an excellent group of industrial / organizational psychologists to write about how selection interfaces with individual, social, and organizational factors. The chapters describe how demographic changes, team-membership, cultural differences, legislation, and social policy influence the selection strategy process. The chapters offer many useful and practical insights about the practice of selection strategies in an every-changing organizational world. This volume is invaluable to those concerned with applying selection processes in organizations and to those who research selection systems."
In this context, as a sample, in fourth chapter of this book, "Managing 'Customers' of Selection Processes", Stephen W. Gilliland and Bennett Cherry (1) focus on managing the customers of selection, (2) specifically consider the perspective of each customer group in each of the three stages of the selection process (that is, development, assessment, feedback), and (3) finally conclude the chapter with some summary recommendations for maintaining as successful customer-based selection system.
(1). Who Are the Customers? : In this section, Gilliland and Cherry define customers of selection, and their needs, desires, and goals for selection are summarized as :
a. Line Managers :
* Accurate and informative indicators of applicant potential.
* Quick and easy-to-use selection process.
* Flexibility and accommodation of selection procedures.
* Perceived validity of selection process.
b. Coworkers :
* Accurate and informative indicators of applicant potential.
* Input into the selection decision-making process.
* Perceived validity of selection process.
c. Applicants :
* Appropriate hiring decision.
* Unbiased, job-related selection process that gives them a chance to demonstrate their potential .
* Honest and sensitive interpersonel treatment.
* Timely and informative feedback.
(2). Managing Customers of Selection : After defining the stages of a customer-based selection system as development, assessment, and feedback, in this section, they consider how to manage the needs of the customers during each of these selection stages.
(3). Summary Recommendations : In this section, they made the following recommendations for managing the customers of selection.
a. For Line Managers and Coworkers :
* Communicate how and why a new selection system is being developed.
* Involve line managers in development and administration of the selection system.
* Train line managers in the use of the selection system and in effective interviewing and decision making.
* Simplify the assessment process to ease administration.
* Solicit feedback on the effectiveness of and satisfaction with the selection system.
b. For Applicants :
* Include applicant concerns in the development of the selection system.
* Provide applicants with an understanding of what the selection process entails and how it was developed.
* Make sure the selection procedures are job-related and unbiased, and give applicants a chance to demonstrate their potential.
* Make sure the selection process is consistently administered.
* Treat applicants with honesty and respect, and allow for two-way communication.
* Deliver timely and informative feedback to applicants on the hiring decision.
* Solicit feedback from applicants on their reactions to the selection process.
Not only this chapter, but this book as a whole is highly recommended for HR practitioners.Managing Selection in Changing Organizations: Human Resource Strategies Overview

Leadership Chronicles of a Corporate Sage: Five Keys to Becoming a More Effective Leader ReviewThis is one of the best books on coaching I have read. It is remarkably substantive, yet concise and exceptionally readable....a diamond in the rough field of coaching books. Bethanis has deftly illustrated both the art and science of the leadership development process. She offers some key aspects and tools for leadership development, and makes an important link between vision/strategic focus and real-time coaching. The last time I got something so substantive out of a coaching book (there are certainly other places for wisdom!) was from James Flaherty's Coaching: Evoking Excellence in Others. And, due to his impressive intellect, hip-waders are useful for traversing its conceptual rapids. The simplicity of Corporate Sage makes it all the more profound. This book is time well spent for coaches and executives alike.Leadership Chronicles of a Corporate Sage: Five Keys to Becoming a More Effective Leader Overview

Merger Games: The Medical College of Pennsylvania, Hahnemann University, and the Rise and Fall of the Allegheny Healthcare System ReviewThe condition of the American health care system today resembles the condition of a severely injured person in a hospital emergency operating room awaiting major surgery. And just as you will not see what happens in that operating room to that badly damaged patient on that operating table, neither will you see the largely hidden from view specific developments that will constitute the hospital by hospital reconstruction of American health care and of medical education and training by for-profit and non-profit organizations. With the exception of this book, that is.
"Merger Games" provides just such a "fly on the wall" view of how major health care reorganizations occur. I spent most of my career financing major corporate reorganizations and I can attest to the fact that Judith Swazey speaks with enormous "inside" knowledge and authority. She obviously knows very well whereof she speaks. I have no idea how she obtained such incredible access, but she clearly did. That is one of the things that makes this timely book so genuine and thus so rare.
This powerful book delivers lessons that extend beyond the particular story it tells and beyond academic health care organizations. It vividly documents fundamental patterns inherent in practically all corporate reorganizations and mergers, and dissects why they succeed or fail. Because of these highly important and ever so timely lessons, the information in this book should not be limited to being just a book. It needs to reach the widest possible audience and to that end it should be made into a movie. It has all the ingredients of a terrific box office success. And at the same time it should be made into a Harvard Business School case study because these lessons are today so vital to every single one of us and they need to be understood by tomorrow's organizational leaders.
But as far as you, the prospective reader is concerned, what is equally relevant is that this book is written with the stylistic quality and the page-turning pace of an exciting New Yorker or Atlantic article about the organizational details of one of the largest and most important general topics confronting America and Americans today. Would that during the nation's financial crisis in 2008 we had in depth analysis of this quality regarding what was then happening to our financial institutions.

Customer Service Delivery: Research and Best Practices (J-B SIOP Professional Practice Series) ReviewSub-Title: Research and Best Practices (J-B SIOP Professional Practice Series)
Customer service is the last opportunity that a business has to convert a buyer into a repeat customer, the most valuable asset a company can have. The accounting statement entry 'Goodwill' really means the ability to sell more products to an existing customer base. Even when other aspects of the sale go bad, good customer service may be able to save the day, may be able to keep a customer that would otherwise be lost.
This book is perhaps the most complete analysis/description of the overall aspects of customer service available. It is a combination of research, of experience, of analysis, of theory, of practice. Each chapter is written by an expert in the particular specialty being described. It is part of the professional practice series for scientists, practitioners, managers, executives and academics interested in organizational behavior and performance.Customer Service Delivery: Research and Best Practices (J-B SIOP Professional Practice Series) Overview

Interviewing for Education and Social Science Research: The Gateway Approach ReviewDr. Mears' writing style is elegant, straightforward, and grounded in the pragmatic realities of qualitative researchers. Her "gateway approach" honors and prioritizes participants as narrators of their lived experiences, and analyzes/displays their essential meanings as rich, poetic renderings.
Mears' work is based on her award-winning dissertation on interviews with parents of Columbine High School's students. Her sensitive, compassionate, empathic, and ethical nature is woven throughout her writing and recommendations for listening to others' stories.
This is an outstanding title on methods of interviewing--one of the best available in the academic literature. I highly recommend this work for students and seasoned researchers.Interviewing for Education and Social Science Research: The Gateway Approach Overview

Democratic Peacebuilding: Aiding Afghanistan and other Fragile States ReviewRichard Ponzio has written a terrifically important book about both the present and the future. It should be devoured both by those concerned about the current quagmire in Afghanistan (which Dr. Ponzio has apparently explored many times), and by those who want to apply its lessons to the similar future geopolitical challenges that will surely arise again.
To robustly repair the fabric of societies torn by war, Dr. Ponzio argues that institutions derived from some kind of legitimate democratic practices provide the best hope to navigate the minefield of competing interests. But such democratization can neither be imposed by supercilious Americans nor derived from American models. Instead, it must grow organically from the history and traditions of the society in question.
Dr. Ponzio's book offers two contributions of inestimable value. First, he illuminates how this journey is unfolding right now in Afghanistan, with vast and lasting consequences for the people of Afghanistan and America alike. Second, he demonstrates how we might use tomorrow what we're learning today, to rebuild other countries and communities after other such future conflagrations. Or maybe, even, perhaps, just possibly -- if enough people read DEMOCRATIC PEACEBUILDING -- to prevent them in the first place from ever erupting into war.

Corporate MVPs: Managing Your Company's Most Valuable Performers (Jb Foreign Imprint Series - Canada.) ReviewA business friend told me of this book and suggested it to me when one of my most important employees was thinking of leaving.
I run a decent sized company (1200 people) and I know that a precious few employees make up the heart of my business. If these 3 or 4 people left I would be up the creek. We have a good program to manage our talented people but have not felt that we really had a handle on how to manage these "MVP"s. Corporate MVPs really helped me to think about these people and what makes them tick. I now appreciate them more than ever, and now I am pretty comfortable that I know how to manage them. I am less on edge about my MVPs leaving.
Corporate MVPs is a good companion to one of my favorite business books "Good to Great". Good to Great looks at how organizations can move from good to great. Corporate MVPs looks at how individuals can move from good to MVP status.I found the Chapter on "Managing the MVP" to be especially helpful. I have followed its advice and I have seen great results with my 5 MVPs. I also really liked the anecdotes and ideas from many successful business people that are scattered throughout the book. It adds a real life business feel to the research.
I have given the book to a number of my promising people so they could read "How to Become an MVP". It has created some very interesting discussions in my staff meetings on how we can all find ways to improve.
I have also found the chapters on recruiting MVPs and on managing difficult MVPs to be timely and extremely useful.
I have bought copies for my HR Director and for all my direct reports. Once read it becomes a good reference book as the needs arise.

The Hiring and Firing Question and Answer Book ReviewWhether you're a human resources professional or an executive or manager in a company without a human resources department, you are confronted by all sorts of difficult personnel questions. Hiring and firing can be highly complicated subjects. Scary. Unless you have someone you can turn to for reliable advice.
Never fear. Paul Falcone is here! The author of "96 Great Interview Questions to Ask Before You Hire" and "101 Sample Write-Ups for Documenting Employee Performance Problems" has authored a book that will relieve the stress in your people-management life. Falcone is Director of Employment and Development Paramount Pictures in Hollywood and teaches for UCLA. Here's a resource who knows what he's talking about.
This book is organized into two main sections: Hiring and Firing. Under the Hiring Section, you'll find chapters on the hiring process, recruitment tools, online recruiting, interviewing, and making the final selection. The Firing Section begins with a chapter answering common questions about the performance management and termination process. Next, the reader will learn about progressive discipline, terminations for cause and summary offenses, and reductions-in-force and layoffs.
Through these chapters, Falcone presents 112 vital questions . . . and answers. Each question is addressed with a basic answer, followed by a section titled "Tell Me More." What a wealth of information!
And, as if this weren't enough, the book also includes an appendix with sample policies, agreements, and letters. The comprehensiveness of this section is amazing. A glossary, resource list, and index provide even more value.
Highly recommended!The Hiring and Firing Question and Answer Book Overview

Hold That Thought For Kids: Capturing Precious Memories through Fun Questions, Images, & Conversations (Hold That Thought Keepsake Coversation Journals) ReviewI received this book as a gift from a teacher girlfriend. At first I was overwhelmed-it's a big book. My friend told me to trust her, pick a page (any page), gather my kids and start. I am glad I did.
I started with an interview titled "All the Senses". As an introduction, my 5 and 7 year olds and I talked about what our senses were. Then I interviewed them, writing down both of their answers to questions about their favorites smells, sounds, sensations, sights...in the same book. The kids liked having this "talking time" with me. After a few minutes, my husband, overhearing us, stopped doing the dishes and joined us so he could listen too.
In our family, the temptation is to just get things done in the evening. This book helps my husband and me spend just 10 or 20 precious minutes really talking and communicating with the kids. It's easy. It's fun and together we're creating a keepsake treasure. I recommend it to parents everywhere.

However, I derived an even greater benefit from those sections that challenged my preconceptions.

Love Stories of Later Life: A Narrative Approach to Understanding Romance ReviewThis book is well worth buying, reading and keeping for further reference. It is a beautifully written, clearly expressed and accessible work on the positive aspects of growing older, recognising the possibilities for being a whole person at every age.
It is about love stories in later life, from seventies to well into the nineties, and is a well-researched work on how older people sustain continuing relationships or create new short or longer term relationships, both hetero-sexual or same sex, of love, romance, sex, infatuation. Amanda Barusch breaks through ageist stereotypes to reveal that emotions persist and maybe even increase as we get older, that sex is not only for the young, and that romance is there at all ages. She also helpfully provides academic insights into theorists such as Bowlby, Jung and Freud, and considers the concept of love throughout the centuries and cultures, beginning with ancient Greece, and ending with our own western industrialised societies.
This is a ground-breaking academic book, pushing past the myths of ageing, with theories supported by thorough research. Good for all social workers and others in gerontology, for adult children, and especially for those of us in our later years.Love Stories of Later Life: A Narrative Approach to Understanding Romance Overview

What I Learned Before I Sold to Warren Buffett: An Entrepreneur's Guide to Developing a Highly Successful Company ReviewIn a book that is more almanac than business history, author Barnett C. Helzberg Jr. includes a bit of narrative, but this is not a discourse on what he learned as he developed his Kansas City jewelry store empire, not a case study and not a look at how the sale of his company to Buffett went (which might have been a dandy negotiations yarn). Instead, it is basically a sound collection of sayings, aphorisms and - now and then, it must be said - platitudes about what he knew before Buffett came along. This is not, therefore, a book that We recommend necessarily reading from cover to cover. Instead, keep it handy. Pick it up when you are stuck for ideas or guidance, and peruse it for experience and sense. If all the thoughts are not particularly original, that is part of their appeal. Like a Polonius of the Plains, the author is never at a loss for a nostrum. He reaffirms the sound, traditional principles that guided the steady and sure growth of his business. It worked for Warren; it may well work for you.What I Learned Before I Sold to Warren Buffett: An Entrepreneur's Guide to Developing a Highly Successful Company Overview

Evolving Practices in Human Resource Management: Responses to a Changing World of Work (J-B SIOP Professional Practice Series) ReviewAs stated by series editor Manuel London, "the current volume, edited by Allen I. Kraut and Abraham K. Korman, explores how changes in the work world during the last two decades have altered the nature of human resource management (HRM). Economic, global, and marketplace changes have led to flatter organizational structures, reengineered jobs, team processes, and methods for continuous, customer-driven quality improvement. The chapters in this volume show how the practice of HRM and I/O psychology has adapted to these challenges and contributed to organization development...The chapters -all written by expert practitioners who value research- describe success stories and emerging strategies in key areas of HRM such as career development, recruitment and selection, performance appraisal, teamwork, leadership development, and organizational surveys."
In this context, as a sample, in third chapter of this book, "Is Job Analysis Dead, Misunderstood, or Both? : New Forms of Work Analysis and Design", Juan I. Sanches and Edward L. Levine argue that the obsolescence of job analysis is really the obsolescence of some of the traditional forms and applications of job analysis. Thus, they :
(1). discuss the basis of traditional job analysis,
(2). outline the business trends that have called that basis into question,
(3). propose revisions in traditional job analysis practices in line with emerging trends.
They begin by comparing and contrasting 'the factors' that shaped the job analysis methodology that has been used successfully in the past with their emerging counterparts, which make some traditional forms of job analysis obselete.
I. Traditional Factors :
* Division of labor and clear-cut labor-management distinction.
* Static job.
* Minimal interaction with coworkers.
* Accountability to superiors.
* One-way relation to technology.
* Long-term employement.
* Cultural homogeneity.
* Tolerance for budgetary slack.
II. Emerging Factors :
* Cross-functional responsibilities and blurring of labor-management distinction.
* Dynamic work assignments.
* Maximal interaction with coworkers.
* Accountability to internal and external customers.
* Two-way relation to technology.
* Short-term employement.
* Cultural diversity.
* Cost containment.
After describing these factors, and changes in work analysis and its building blocks : sources of data, methods of data collection, types of data, and level of analysis; finally, they suggest that unlike traditional job analysis, instead of being overconcerned with documenting molecular tasks and job boundaries new forms of work analysis should focus on contributing useful inputs to the process of continuous organizational innovation.
Not only this chapter, but this book as a whole is higly recommended for HR practitioners.Evolving Practices in Human Resource Management: Responses to a Changing World of Work (J-B SIOP Professional Practice Series) Overview
