Shifting: Community, Leadership, and Change
By Al Condeluci
(July 2002; 108 pages; paperback)
From Amazon.com:
All of us, regardless of station, are called upon to lead. Cultural
Shifting establishes a leadership framework that the reader can embrace
to promote change. Discussing how society needs to rethink its notions
of human services, Cultural Shifting offers a crisp analysis of
the change process seen through a number of differing lenses. It moves
the reader toward notions of leadership and shows how the successful change
agent utilizes elements of culture and community to promote change.
Cultural Shifting deals with personal, professional, organizational, and cultural change. Change and leadership are elusive subjects that have relevance to everyone, especially to those in disability services. Anchored around some of the most accepted theories on change and leadership, the book also makes use of conventional wisdom and an anthropological spirit of the streets.
Woven with stories and anecdotes, Cultural Shifting explores the nature of culture, community, the process of change and leadership and our resistances to the change process. Use this book to address personal change, to manage an organization that needs to change, or to lead or change a group or mobilize a constituency.

The Heartland Center for Leadership Development
The
Heartland Center for Leadership Development offers tools and resources
to rural community leaders and others interested in rural community survival.
Based in Nebraska, the Heartland Center was organized in 1985 by a group
of Great Plains leaders and today is known for hands-on programs in community
leadership development. The Center stresses the critical role played by
local leadership as communities and organizations face the challenges
associated with changing times. It also emphasizes that local capacity
is critical-and renewing local leadership essential-as towns, cities,
and states work to remain competitive today and in the future.
The
Enterprise Foundation's annual Network Conference brings together
more than 1,600 community development practitioners to network with peers,
share their challenges and successes, attend workshops, and catch up on
the latest industry trends. The 2002 conference, "Celebrating 20 Years
of Building Communities," will be held October 31 to November 1 in Dallas.
