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.
