Organizational Stress and Well-Being
In this Cambridge Companion, global thought leaders in the fields of workplace stress and well-being highlight how theory and research can improve employee health and well-being. The volume explains how and why the topics of workplace stress and well-being have evolved and continue to be highly relevant, and why line managers have great influence over employees' quality of working life. It includes the latest research findings on stress and well-being and their impact on organizations, as well as up-to-date findings on the effectiveness of workplace interventions focused on these issues. It also explores important and emerging issues relating to organizational stress and well-being, including the ongoing effects of the global coronavirus pandemic. This is an ideal reference for students and researchers in the areas of human resources management, occupational health psychology and organisational behavior.
Taking Aviation to New Heights
This fascinating biography of Pierre Jeanniot is much more than a portrait of the man who was at the helm of Air Canada and of the aviation industry: it is a compelling case study of how a business man is born and goes on to achieve financial success, social status, and political sway. The young Jeanniot learned to survive during the bombing of Rome, the occupation of France and as a witness to the Resistance in the Jura Mountains. The 1963 Sainte-Thérèse air tragedy, together with the threat of finding himself jobless, inspired him to create the famous data flight recorder, or 'black box.' Under his direction, Air Canada chose the Airbus rather than the Boeing to renew its fleet, in the midst of a highly visible political crisis. Against all odds, Jeanniot also orchestrated the successful privatization of the airline. His visionary speech in Amman, delivered while he was at the helm of the International Air Transport Association, laid out modern aviation's most urgent priorities in accident prevention, environmental protection and technological progress. A master of logistics, he successfully negotiated the restart of air travel in the aftermath of 9/11. Book jacket.
La subjectivité et la gestion
Issu du milieu artistique, je n’avais pas fait un lien explicite entre la gestion et l’art comme mode de recherche, de connaissance et d’action. Former des artistes à un métier de créateur ou d’interprète et former des chercheurs à l’analyse des diverses disciplines artistiques sont deux choses très différentes. Les conservatoires préparent des gens à faire carrière dans l’exercice d’un art. La sélection est capitale dès l’admission. Donner des connaissances sur l’art à quelqu’un qui n’a pas l’étoffe d’un artiste ne va pas le « convertir », même s’il parvenait à réussir haut la main les examens portant sur ses connaissances théoriques. Beaucoup...

Guy Coulombe
Avant d’accepter des mandats axés sur la résolution de situations complexes, censés concilier des points de vue souvent inconciliables, Guy Coulombe s’était illustré en occupant des fonctions aussi diverses que secrétaire du Conseil du Trésor, secrétaire général du Conseil exécutif du gouvernement, président de la Société générale de financement (SGF), président d’Hydro-Québec, directeur général de la Sûreté du Québec et directeur général de la Ville de Montréal. Fidèle au rôle de serviteur non partisan de l’État, il a été de tous les chantiers structurants devant mener à l’érection d’un Québec moderne. Soucieux de se tenir constamment au-dessus de la mêlée, il a transcendé les régimes et fait partie de tous les changements de garde. Son parcours recèle de précieuses leçons de gestion, de leadership et de constance dans l’action. À vous de les découvrir et, comme il le fait si bien lui-même, d’en tirer l’essentiel pour l’exercice de votre propre leadership.
The Drama of Leadership
As a member of the board of directors of several major international financial services corporations, Patricia Pitcher was in a privileged position to observe the inner workings of the corporate world. What she witnessed was a crisis of leadership rooted in a misunderstanding of what leading is all about. Not content to simply offer an opinion-opinions come cheap-she embarked on an eight-year research project to document the reasons for the rapid collapse of a global giant. That collapse, she shows us, began with one critical succession error and was compounded by a chronic failure to understand the importance of personality in the leadership equation. One wrong person at the helm turned a d...
