About this book

"This major new book examines the way in which employment is managed across organizational boundaries. It analyses how public-private partnerships, franchises, agencies, and other forms of inter-firm contractual relations impact on work and employment and the experiences of those working in these increasingly significant forms of organization. Drawing upon research undertaken in eight separate networks comprising over 50 organizations it explores the fragmenting effects of contemporary changes in the organization of work and employment relationships." "The findings of this book raise questions about the governance of such complex organizational forms, the appropriateness of current institutions for addressing this complexity, and the challenge of harnessing employee commitment in circumstances where human resource practices are shaped by organizations other than the legal employer." "Fragmenting Work will be vital reading for all those wishing to understand the contemporary realities of work and employment."--Jacket.

Beyond a government of strangers

Robert Maranto

"While many primers have appeared to help new political appointees adjust to life inside the Beltway, Beyond a Government of Strangers is the first book to focus on the men and women who stick around - the career executives and their own roles in the executive branch. Robert Maranto provides advice on how career leaders can improve tenuous relationships and overcome conflicts with political appointees, especially during presidential transitions. He offers a rare insider's perspective, with first-person accounts and quotations taken from interviews with scores of career executives. Included in the book are helpful strategies and invaluable details, such as "Ten Tips on Managing Your Political Boss" and examples of how careerists at different federal agencies handle the orientation of new appointees."--Jacket.

Rule of thumb

Todd A. Conkright, MA, CPT

In order for your company to achieve its goals, you need the right people in the right places, motivated to achieve success. Once you have the right talent, they need something from you - consistent, inspired, and effective leadership. While this sounds like common knowledge, many businesses run below standards they once held high for themselves because of inconsistent leadership, lack of accountability, and poor customer service. Learn how to grow your business and ensure your employees are performing their best by: 1) Defining your staffing needs; 2) Knowing what metrics and results to measure; 3) Coaching for maximum performance; 4) Providing positive discipline.
