People Manager Mindset Perceptional Influence On Culture At A Large Technology Company
Get PDFThe purpose of this study was to identify the perceptions of a growth mindset, meaning an innate desire to learn, persist in the face of setbacks, value failure as essential to learning and regularly seeks feedback to improve by eight people managers in a large technology company (e.g., Microsoft, Alphabet’s Google, Facebook, and Amazon). Utilizing LinkedIn.com, eight people managers were identified and asked to describe their roles in communicating their organization’s culture to their direct reports and the tools supplied by their respective Company to influence their process (e.g., trainings, internal communications, etc.). Additionally, the study documented examples of how the people managers communicated about and/or navigated transitions related to leadership or organizational changes with their direct reports. The purpose of this approach was to examine three factors: (1) self (e.g., how informants make a meaning of global mindset), (2) the organization (e.g., how informants perceive or influence within their organizational culture) and (3) people (e.g., how the informants enact their approaches (i.e., convey global mindset) to their direct reports). Findings indicate that the participants understood the concepts of organizational culture and growth mindset and how they manifested within their organizations. Participants’ roles were to effectively recruit staff, model the expected culture and to measure the culture and organizational changes. However, the measurement of the culture and organizational changes was done differently and to varying degrees in each of the participants’ respective organizations
Organizational Change In The Legal Education Environment: Institutional And Individual Responses To Times Of Crisis
Get PDFThe Great Recession of 2008 brought great upheaval to many aspects of the American economy. At first law schools saw an increase in applications and enrollment as individuals sought an education that would lead to employment. Within a few years, however, the job market for new lawyers deteriorated. By 2010-2011, the number of applications to law schools plummeted, as did the enrollment numbers. Since tuition is the life blood of law schools, the field of legal education was faced with an unprecedented crisis. This researcher collected and reviewed publicly available data to examine the changes that occurred in law schools following the economic downturn. Interviews with faculty who had experienced the institutional changes portrayed the personal or internal changes that occurred as a result.
Findings suggest that higher-ranked (Tier 1 and Tier 2) schools generally had different outcomes than lower-ranked (Tier 3 and Tier 4) schools following the enrollment crisis. The first section addressed structural changes, the second section addressed programmatic changes, and the third section reported on faculty in the Tier 3 and Tier 4 schools expressed feelings of grief and loss regarding their experiences during this period of crisis.
The future loss of accreditation that may occur in some law schools will be a source of additional study of institutional and personal grief and loss issues that schools and faculty members experience as a result of that loss
Dragons of the Anthropocene: Never too much…

Artist\u27s statement:
Contrary to popular belief, dragons exist. They are all around us but to see them we have to acknowledge our part in keeping them alive and healthy. We feed them with ignorance, lassitude, apathy. We nurture them in our refusal to believe that we too have a part of them in us. Through inaction we invite them to spread suffering, to gnaw on the bones of new prey each day. Yes—we might even watch them rampage and then turn away.
It is painful taking the role of St. George. One invites trouble and danger when they report the sighting of dragons. You might even be thought unhinged. It is dangerous to buck the systems that have been put in place for the breeding of dragons. Dragons are powerful. They are not afraid because they are the warriors for injustice, the purveyors of pain, the cultivators of chaos.
The one thing that repels dragons is truth. They can be vanquished by compassion and kindness; they recoil at generosity and love may transform the worst of them into potent allies for justice. Do we desire obliteration or salvation? It really is now or never. The dragons are howling at the ramparts of everything we hold dear. It will take the strength of many to do the work that must be done. It will require a commitment to honesty and equality, education and frugality. It will require selflessness and love.
These dragons have been plaguing me—I had hoped that they would go away, that somebody else would do the hard work, take on the very real danger but however much I struggled to ignore them they were there in every headline and everyday life, even at the movies. I began to draw them, to try and visualize their faces. I was surprised that they didn’t look like the dragons of my childhood. Dragons assume the strangest forms. I realized they depend on our love of comfort and leisure. Some even looked innocent until I peeled back the layers and realized that much of what I have is built on the backs of dragons.
Take a look around. You’ll see them too.

Exploring The Roles, Responsibilities, And Leadership Styles Of Rural School Principals
Get PDFRural schools face challenges that differ from those faced by urban and suburban schools. Many are isolated, located in poor areas, understaffed, and subject to resource scarcity. In addition to these challenges, rural school leaders are often assigned or assume additional roles and responsibilities as school principals. My goal was use Northouse’s (2016) leadership theory to perform a qualitative comparative case study on eight rural school principals in districts in southwestern Wisconsin to explore their roles, responsibilities, and leadership styles. The study found that rural school principals incur multiple, non-traditional, and unfamiliar roles and responsibilities. The study also found that rural school principals employ different leadership styles that support their process, generate influence, persuade and influence groups, and work to achieve common goals. The study gave voice to eight rural school principals, whose experiences showed the nuances of leading a rural school. Recommendations included investment in staffing and professional development training for incoming rural principals. Resistance to change and technology in rural schools both warranted future study considerations

Green Economics: Assessing The Feasibility Of A New England Green Crab (Carcinus Maenas) Fishery Through Fishermen Perspectives
Get PDFThe European green crab (Carcinus maenas) is a well-adapted invasive species that has flourished throughout coastal New England. Its arrival has caused numerous negative environmental and socioeconomic impacts, including the decline of the Maine soft shell clam (Mya arenaria) fishery. Increases in north Atlantic sea surface temperatures have simultaneously propelled the proliferation of C. maenas and caused northward shifts in the geographic ranges of commercially relevant species, including the American lobster (Homarus americanus). C. maenas represents an underutilized species that H. americanus and M. arenaria fishers can target to supplement any lost income if C. maenas markets are economically viable. The research explores the development of the C. maenas fishery, describes any barriers to the industry and dissects the economic feasibility of markets based on minimum price points and current landings data. Maine-based fishers were interviewed regarding their views on the current industry and the principle obstacles facing the industry. Past and current landings data was analyzed to determine trends in economic value. The biggest barrier to further industry development is the price per pound of hard-shell crabs. The market value of current landings is far below the threshold of what is considered acceptable to fishers, but the price point is rising. For the fishery to expand, consumer demand must be created. Stakeholders should target farmers markets and chain grocers to further market product. This study was conducted with a limited sample size and analyzed just the perspectives of one sector of the seafood supply chain. Future studies should operate on a larger scale and evaluate the viewpoints of wholesalers and consumers
