Paperback. Condition: Good. Creating Contagious Commitment: Applying the Tipping Point to Organizational Change Too often, necessary and technically appropriate change initiatives fall short of expected gains because leaders fail to involve employees and leverage their perspectives. This deprives leaders of valuable input, and causes the very people who are expected to modify the way they work to feel discounted and disconnected. Creating Contagious Commitment: Applying the Tipping Point to Organizational Change presents a proven approach to turn this all too common situation around. It goes to the heart of effective change implementation and shows how to move employees from being apathetic or resistant to becoming committed advocates of a change. Creating Contagious Commitment demonstrates why many of the traditional approaches to change implementation (such as focusing on the easily measurable technical aspects or relying on mass awareness campaigns) don't work very well-especially on their own. It explains the dynamics that contribute to successful change initiatives and how to use them, right now, in your own initiatives. The accessibility of the concepts and the practical strategies they provide make Creating Contagious Commitment a unique and powerful guide for change agents in any organization. Andrea Shapiro's clear and skillful blending of theory with useful examples brings these concepts to life in a way that appeals to anyone who is involved in change. Solidly grounded in organizational theory, systems thinking and real-world experience, Creating Contagious Commitment can be used as a stand-alone resource or in combination with the companion tipping point workshop and computer simulation. It has been applied by hundreds of change leaders around the world in a wide range of organizations, from banks and hospitals to high-tech corporations, to make organizational change both contagious and sustainable. It is packed with diagrams, illustrations, and stories from the field - many of them first-person accounts of applying its lessons. Visit CreatingContagiousCommitment.com to learn more. Praise for Creating Contagious Commitment It is very easy to have good intentions, and even easier to get advice from someone who has good intentions. What is hard is to recognize the landmines on the path to successful change. Creating Contagious Commitment helps identify and think about such obstacles before we encounter them, making the path to change more thoughtful and ultimately more successful. -Dan Ariely, Ph.D., James B. Duke Professor of Behavioral Economics, author Predictably Irrational It is only by effectively influencing people's beliefs, values and changing social norms that we can change behaviors that get us all to yes. Andrea understands this and clearly maps out how new cultural norms can be systematically embedded into any organization. This book is a must have in any change agent's toolbox. -Peter Faill, M.Sc., Corporate Procurement Manager, Durham County Council, UK The Tipping Point is a brilliant computer model of change initiatives as they unfold in large, complex organizations. Change agents need to be informal, keenly aware of the different needs of different types of people, and committed to their purpose. This book shows what to do and what happens along the way, both in the model and in real life. -Art Kleiner, author, Who Really Matters and The Age of Heretics.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. In this first installment of the Thin Thinline Trilogy, the fiercely independent Nina Overstreet has an axe to grind. A talented singer-songwriter slogging her way through the burgeoning Greenwich Village folk music scene of 1963, the Queen of Kenosha, Wisconsin, realizes that standing on the cusp of stardom gets her little respect and barely a cup of coffee in New York City. It finally comes, but in a way she could have never imagined.

Nick recruits Nina to join him and a team of ex-FBI operatives in a clandestine agency to stop the establishment of the Fourth Reich by undercover Nazis in post-War America. It's a cause Nina believes in . until she's forced to compromise the very principles of fairness and patriotism she holds dear. As she and Nick grow closer as partners, she forces him to question his own intentions. But as the body count mounts in pursuit of the Nazi ringleader, the evasive Ingrid Pastorious, the stakes grow even higher for Nick, Nina and. Chan, Erica (illustrator).…

Hardback. Condition: Good. A Feast of Words serves up twenty-five classic novels and stories, including Emma by Jane Austen and Royal Beatings by Alice Munro. Anna Shapiro provides incisive and entertaining commentary on the food scenes in the works and original recipes that feed the fancy as well as the palate. Over tea in Doris Lessing's A Good Neighbour a widow discovers love for the first time. To accompany the author's lively text, you'll find recipes for Honey and Orange Bread, Apple and Cheese Bread, and Sesame Loaf, while learning how to brew a perfect pot of tea. A wilder kind of love is made over stew in James Cain's Serenade. You'll find out that all of Tolstoy's huge novel of adultery, Anna Karenina, is compacted in one lunch scene: Rolls sometimes smell so good that you can't resist them! To accompany the scene, you'll find a truly elemental recipe for borscht. Shapiro, a novelist, finds that looking at books from the perspective of food yields insights and dishes as lively as they are rich. Personal as well as funny, the commentary will not only tell you everything you ever wanted to know about asparagus but also takes into account the food politics of, say, A Little Princess. A Feast of Words provides inspired menus for dinner parties and family meals, lovers' tete-atetes and homey lunches. Using it, you can regale guests with stories and food: pasta with lobster sauce, crunchy roast potatoes, the best chocolate mousse, cafe con leche, in a cookbook that is a work of art and a joy to read.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. On the surface, her childhood seemed normal-even idyllic. Linda grew up in the iconic immigrant community of Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, with her parents and a gifted older brother. But she spent her days at home alone with a mother who suffered major bouts of depression. At such times, young Linda was told, Your mother.she's not herself today. Those words did little to help Linda understand what she was witnessing. Instead, she experienced the anxiety and hyper-vigilance that often take root when secrecy and shame surround a family member who is ill. She's Not Herself is a journey to make sense of the effects of multi-generational traumas. Shapiro is ultimately able to forgive (without forgetting) those who left her to fend for herself-and to provide readers with the wisdom of a seasoned psychotherapist who has examined human vulnerability in its many disguises and has moved through it all with dignity and hope. The result is a memoir of love, loss, loyalty, and healing.…
