With so many people empowered to join the decision-making process, the number and diversity of stakeholders in governance situations poses a special challenge: how do you steer when so many hands are on the wheel? Catalytic Governance offers a proven approach to managing this challenge, built on the insight that effective leadership and governance depends less on traditional top-down approaches and more on creating shared meanings and frameworks. Drawing on their experiences managing transformational change in a complex, multi-stakeholder environment on issues ranging from finance to climate change, health, and the digital revolution, Patricia Meredith, Steven A. Rosell, and Ged R. Davis demonstrate how to use dialogue to engage stakeholders, explore alternative perspectives, develop shared mental maps and a vision of the future, and co-create strategies and initiatives to realize that future. While elements of this approach will be familiar, this is the first time they have been combined into a coherent model and tested together in practice. The book describes in detail how this was done in the process of transforming the Canadian payments system. The catalytic approach to governance is a powerful tool for leaders in the public and private sectors looking to lead and govern more effectively."--Provided by publisher.Transformational leadershipInformation societyCorporate governancePublic administrationLibros electronicos.Transformational leadership.Information society.Corporate governance.Public administration.658.406Meredith Patricia, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.1489919Davis Gerald, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.Rosell Steven A., authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910798398303321Catalytic Governance3710843UNINA04409oam 2200577I 450 991079519800332120180812142419.01-351-22805-61-351-22806-41-351-22804-810.4324/9781351228060 (CKB)4340000000265958(MiAaPQ)EBC5352835(OCoLC)1027759091(PPN)243021070(EXLCZ)99434000000026595820180706d2018 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Dilemma of Faith in Modern Japanese Literature Metaphors of Christianity /Massimiliano TomasiFirst edition.London :Taylor and Francis,2018.1 online resource (217 pages)The Nissan Institute/Routledge Japanese studies series0-367-42416-9 0-8153-7876-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Christianity and Modern Japanese Literature.

Building significantly on previous research, which has treated the intersections of Christianity with the Japanese literary world in only a cursory fashion, this book emphasizes the need to make a clear distinction between the different roles played by Catholicism and Protestantism. In particular, it argues that most Meiji and Taish? intellectuals were exposed to an exclusively Protestant and mainly Calvinist derivation of Christianity and so it is against this worldview that the connections between the two ought to be assessed. Examining the work of authors such as Kitamura T?koku, Akutagawa Ry?nosuke and Nagayo Yoshir?, this book also contextualises the spread of Christianity in Japan and challenges the notion that Christian thought was in conflict with mainstream literary schools. As such, this book explains how the dualities experienced by many modern writers were in fact the manifestation of manifold developments which placed Christianity at the center, rather than at the periphery, of their process of self-construction. The Dilemma of Faith in Modern Japanese Literature will be of great interest to students and scholars of Japanese modern literature, as well as those interested in Religious Studies and Japanese Studies more generally."--Provided by publisher.Nissan Institute/Routledge Japanese studies series.Japanese literatureChristian authorsHistory and criticismJapanese literature19th centuryHistory and criticismJapanese literature20th centuryHistory and criticismChristianity and literatureJapanChristianity in literatureJapanese literatureChristian authorsHistory and criticism.Japanese literatureHistory and criticism.Japanese literatureHistory and criticism.Christianity and literatureChristianity in literature.895.609/3823Tomasi Massimiliano1477224FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910795198003321The Dilemma of Faith in Modern Japanese Literature3692316UNINA
