The ongoing state of many organizations is one of change. People who experience major change tend to exhibit one of four patterns of response: entrenched, overwhelmed, poser, or learner. As a leader, you need to understand the patterns of response that people express and to customize intervention strategies to help them make the transition. People can pass through a given response stage and move to one that is more effective--especially if you provide timely intervention and support. This guidebook will help you understand how people, including yourself, are responding to change and what you can do to help them move forward.

In the face of rapid change and an ever-widening constellation of challenges, it’s crucial for library leaders to pull back to the question of “why?” Plotting a sustainable way forward depends upon recommitting ourselves to our underlying values, such as customer service and community-building, while fostering the improvements that change makes possible. With passion, patience, and fortitude, libraries can stride confidently into the future. In this book, noted speakers and consultants Bignoli and Stara speak directly to library directors, managers, administrators, and technology staff, offering concrete guidance on setting or resetting strategic priorities. Taking an interconnected and specific approach to planning for and strengthening the library environment as a whole, their book - discusses why libraries should embrace change as a fundamental part of library life; - explores how to harness rapid change to provide more responsive, user-centered library service; - addresses the ways in which libraries straddle the physical and the digital, in areas such as service provision and collections, illuminating how they overlap and can be improved using similar philosophies; - presents both a comprehensive overview of library technologies as well as related team and change management advice, all grounded in user experience principles; - shows how the concepts of sustainability and flexibility apply to physical space planning and design, from furniture selection and arrangement to infrastructure; and - provides sound guidance on project management, problem solving, preparing for future challenges, personal reflection and self-care, and other leadership topics.

Too often in life we simply react to what goes on around us. Something happens and we simply react to it. At times, this can get us in trouble because our reaction is too quick, too strong or off in some other way. When this happens, it can wreak havoc in our lives. Learning to respond rather than react involves becoming aware of what goes on in our interactions. Looking at things that are underlying what we do and then intentionally working to change our behaviors can lead to a much more peaceful way of going through our days. Having a therapist or counselor can be helpful in order to talk about what is going on, to help point out things that might be going on under the surface and to encourage alternative ways of responding. This book is not meant to be a substitute for such guidance, in fact this book can be helpful for recording what is going on so that you and your therapist or counselor can more clearly work with what is going on. Our memories of events can get fuzzy so writing things down at the time can really help. Even if you do not have a therapist or counselor, going through the exercise of recording what is going on and thinking about it can be helpful. This book gives you the opportunity to do just this. For each event complete the log that spans two pages. On each log, you will be asked about what took place, your thoughts and feelings about it, how you reacted/responded, the result and any changes you would make next time. As you do so, watch for patterns and see if you are able to move more to responses over time. As Viktor E. Frankl (a great thinker in therapy as well as a survivor of Nazi Germany): "Between stimulus and response there is space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom." May your growth and freedom lead you to wholeness and peace.

The Department for Work and Pensions' network of jobcentres has coped well in the face of the economic downturn but it must improve how it tracks and understands performance. In six months (between September 2008 and March 2009), Jobseeker's Allowance claimant numbers increased by two-thirds (from 0.9 million to 1.5 million). The Department relaxed requirements about the activities that jobcentre staff needed to undertake during 2008-09 and 2009-10, which meant jobcentres were able to prioritize checking eligibility for benefits and making sure claimants were paid. However, although the Department has continued to pursue efficiency, variations in case load across jobcentres suggest further gains may be possible. The Department has simplified its performance measures and now primarily targets the move by claimants away from benefits, or 'off-flow'but this gives no information about how individual jobcentres perform in supporting claimants to work. In 40 per cent of cases, the reason for moving off benefits is simply not recorded or claimants may have moved onto other benefits, been imprisoned or ceased claiming without taking up work. The Department has yet to decide how to adapt off-flow measures after the introduction of Universal Credit, which merges out-of-work and in-work benefits. The need to understand performance has been increased by the Department's move away from nationally mandated processes towards encouraging jobcentre staff to tailor support for claimants. While flexibility encourages local innovation, the Department needs to broaden its evaluation of new approaches and improve performance measures if greater flexibility is to lead to better services.

The role of cities in addressing climate change is increasingly recognised in international arenas, including the Sustainable Development Goals, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, and the New Urban Agenda. Asia is home to many of the countries that are most vulnerable to climate change impacts and, along with Africa, will be the site of most urban population growth over the coming decades. Bringing together a range of city experiences, Responding to Climate Change in Asian Cities provides valuable insights into how cities can overcome some of the barriers to building climate resilience, including addressing the needs of vulnerable populations. The chapters are centred on an overarching understanding that adaptive urban governance is necessary for climate resilience. This requires engaging with different actors to take into account their experiences, vulnerabilities and priorities; building knowledge, including collecting and using appropriate evidence; and understanding the institutions shaping interactions between actors, from the national to the local level. The chapters draw on a mix of research methodologies, demonstrating the variety of approaches to understanding and building urban resilience that can be applied in urban settings. Bringing together a range of expert contributors, this book will be of great interest to scholars of urban studies, sustainability and environmental studies, development studies and Asian studies.

A growing chorus of voices has suggested that the world’s religions may become critical actors as the climate crisis unfolds, particularly in light of international paralysis on the issue. In recent years, many faiths have begun to address climate change and its consequences for human societies, especially the world’s poor. This is the first volume to use social science to examine how religions are helping to address one of the most significant and far-reaching challenges of our time. While there is a growing literature in theology and ethics about climate change and religion, little research has been previously published about the ways in which religious institutions, groups and individuals are responding to the problem of climate change. Seventeen research-driven chapters are written by sociologists, anthropologists, geographers and other social scientists. This book explores what effects religions are having, what barriers they are running into or creating, and what this means for the global struggle to address climate change.
