Schofield-Georgeson E: Contract, Labour
Law and the Realities of Working Life

Contract, Labour Law and the Realities of Working Life

The conventional wisdom is wrong about how great teams are built. Effective leaders worry less about cohesion and more about assembling the right group of people with complementary talents and personalities. No amount of teambuilding, trust, or cohesion can overcome having the wrong mix of people in the room. In Team Players, Mark Murphy argues that the best teams contain an ideal mix of five vital roles: Director, Achiever, Stabilizer, Harmonizer, and Trailblazer. Murphy's groundbreaking research shows how to unlock each team member's talents and position them to succeed within the team. Murphy reveals how unlocking the Directors, Achievers, Stabilizers, Harmonizers, and Trailblazers on your team solves teams' absence of accountability, the torment of aimless meetings, the unfairness of uneven workloads, the scarcity of active participation, the chaos of clashing agendas, and the dearth of decisiveness. With a balance of hard-hitting research and compelling real-world examples, this book is a pivotal read for anyone keen on accelerating team development while allowing individual brilliance to shine through.

Team Players (Spanish Edition)

A comprehensive resource for human resources professionals in technical industries, this book offers strategies and best practices for expanding and maintaining a diverse workforce, including company branding, community engagement/partnerships, training, and organizational culture considerations.The pandemic and automation have forever changed how and where we work, what work we do, and who will do it. All this uncertainty has impacted talent pipelines in technical industries and highlighted the critical need for talent expansion and inclusion within this global sector. This book addresses the multifaceted challenges and opportunities that technical industries face in creating a diverse workforce-a unique context that has been overlooked in broader discussions of workplace diversity. It looks back on the history of diversity management and forward to best practices for expanding talent, including attracting, recruiting, and retaining all talent, including special populations. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the importance of inclusivity in manufacturing, construction, and engineering, along with tools and techniques for implementing these strategies in any organization. A Talent Expansion Framework is included to serve as a blueprint for improving the depth and breadth of talent through action-oriented approaches by leadership, the community, and employees themselves.Human resources practitioners, business owners, and policymakers in technical industries and beyond will appreciate this book's focus on practical strategies and its actionable approach to acquiring, developing, and expanding talent.

A Framework for Scaling Talent in Industry

Workforce Blueprint

Lead with humanity and end the era of management mediocrity. If you've ever vowed to be a better boss than the ones you've had, this book is for you. James (J.R.) Lowry and Daniela De Luca provide an essential roadmap for first-time managers and emerging leaders who refuse to repeat decades of management mediocrity. Drawing on Lowry's experience as a former US Air Force officer, McKinsey partner, and C-suite executive and De Luca's research on career advancement, this comprehensive guide shows how ditching outdated command-and-control habits-and leading with empathy instead-unlocks stronger performance, trust, and engagement in today's teams. Nearly 70 percent of American workers are disengaged, according to Gallup-a clear sign that traditional management approaches are no longer working. In response, Lowry and De Luca offer a practical framework that balances the art and science of management. They reveal the most common misconceptions and mistakes managers make, explain how the manager's role is evolving, and address the mental and emotional preparation required to lead well (even on hard days). Through concrete, actionable practices, Be the Boss You Wish You'd Had shows you how to manage with humanity, both in team practices like delegation and coaching, and in challenges such as office politics and burnout. The result is higher team engagement, stronger productivity, and a workplace culture where people can genuinely thrive. Becoming the leader you always wanted to work for is within your reach. With a relatable blend of research, stories, and advice, Be the Boss You Wish You'd Had is a clarion call to move beyond the "management meh" that plagues many organizations worldwide. J.R. Lowry and Daniela De Luca invite leaders to reclaim the human element of their work and, in doing so, change their own lives and the lives of those they lead.

A People-First Guide to Management

Be the Boss You Wish You'd Had

This book provides an accessible introduction to the American legal system and is a vital resource to anyone interested in understanding how this social system works. Its focus is on law in practice, the role of the law in American society, and how the social context affects the living law of the United States. It covers the institutions of law creation and application, law in American government, American legal culture and the legal profession, American criminal and civil justice, and civil rights. Now in its fourth edition, the book has been widely used in both undergraduate and graduate courses as an introduction to the legal system. This new edition follows the same structure as the previous editions while providing a thorough updating and reworking of the text. This edition reflects upon what has happened in the years since the third edition was published in 2017, the rise of social media, the strains of climate change, the globalization of risk, the pandemic, and the immigration crisis. The book addresses how these events and evolutions have shaped our fundamental comprehension of the workings of the American legal system today.

An Introduction

American Law

Hart Studies in Private Law

This book provides a comprehensive study of two parallel notions of civil and common law: cause and consideration. It does this in three ways; with historical, comparative, and functional perspectives. Aspects of cause and consideration are hotly contested by contract lawyers and this book will bring clarity by looking at the English and Continental positions. Key areas of focus include: enforceability, questions of legality and morality, contractual justice, and the correction of unjustified property displacements. Bringing together a team of experts, the book discusses (in some cases for the first time in English) complex questions of both academic and practical importance.

'This new edition tells you all you need to know about how construction defects in homes occur, how they might be prevented, and how they might be cured.' &gt;The first edition of Residential Construction Law in 2021 offered the only systematic and analytical overview of the legal framework for residential construction.

In business and life we avoid sensitive yet crucial topics at our own peril. Harvard Business School's Christina Wing provides tools for navigating and communicating with clarity and compassion.We live in a world where the list of off-limits topics keeps growing--at work, at home, and even among friends. Age, retirement, succession, failure, money, politics: these subjects feel too sensitive to touch. So we avoid them, sticking to small talk and keeping up appearances. But this comes at a cost. When we can't address the realities shaping our lives and careers, trust erodes and relationships suffer. Is this really the new normal?In Unspeakable: The Taboo Topics We Avoid and How to Talk About Them, Harvard Business School's Christina Wing argues that it shouldn't be. Drawing on decades of experience working with family enterprises and in boardrooms and classrooms, Wing reveals how fear and inhibition undermine performance--and how learning to address and talk about the "unspeakables" can improve our organizations and our lives. This is not a call for reckless candor; it's a practical guide to speaking and acting with clarity, empathy, and respect.Through vivid stories--from family firms derailed by secrecy to global companies paralyzed by conversations that don't happen--Wing shows the costs of dodging the truth--and what changes when we face it. Each chapter tackles a different taboo, from estate planning and layoffs to race and religion, offering strategies and scripts to help readers navigate these issues with confidence.Leaders, colleagues, and families need deeper relationships built on real talk, not small talk. Unspeakable gives you the knowledge and tools to start those conversations--and to make workplaces and lives more honest, humane, and resilient.
