And critical to an organisation's success is the extent to which its people interact effectively--both with each other as team members and with the wider organisation. This is why managing teams has become a key area for a growing number of organisations around the world. While many organisations are world-class at managing their materials and machinery, they fall short in managing the human side of their activities.This book outlines the challenges faced by both team leaders and team members in 21st-century workplaces. It proposes 13 key performance or "team health" indicators for highly effective teams based on research data collected from a large range of industry sectors, team sizes and organisations in the UK. It contributes to the understanding of the nature and functioning of team cohesiveness by describing teamwork as a multi-component variable and identifying the factors that impact on teams and the implications of teamwork for organisations.The book sets out to aid organisations by introducing a Team Performance Diagnostic (TPD) tool. The TPD enables organisations to gain an accurate and detailed insight into the real-time performance of their teams, helps team managers to understand the underlying 'people' issues within the team and how to reach higher levels of team performance quickly. The TPD has been widely used in major multinationals and the UK public sector to pinpoint hard-to-find opportunities to achieve rapid improvements.The research suggests that the use of TPD contributes to more free-flowing feedback both within the team and in the organisation as a whole, and that successful teams are indicative of a healthy organisational culture.This book is an essential guide for senior managers and policy-makers dealing with team effectiveness, and will be highly useful for students of business and management."--Provided by publisher. 517 3 $aThirteen performance indicators for highly effective teams 606 $aTeams in the workplace$xEvaluation 615 0$aTeams in the workplace$xEvaluation. 676 $a658.4022 700 $aAhmed$b Allam$01489960 702 $aSiantonas$b George 702 $aSiantonas$b Nicholas 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796034503321 996 $aThe 13 key performance indicators for highly effective teams$93757665 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03289nam 22006735 450 001 9910484735003321 005 20230810170936.0 010 $a9783030477608 010 $a3030477606 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-47760-8 035 $a(CKB)4100000011515500 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6380955 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-47760-8 035 $a(Perlego)3480986 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000011515500 100 $a20201021d2020 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAnti-Humanism in the Counterculture /$fby Guy Stevenson 205 $a1st ed. 2020. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2020. 215 $a1 online resource (VII, 223 p.) 311 08$a9783030477592 311 08$a3030477592 327 $a1.

Conclusion: Counterculture Then and Now. 330 $aThis book offers a radical new reading of the 1950s and 60s American literary counterculture. Associated nostalgically with freedom of expression, romanticism, humanist ideals and progressive politics, the period was steeped too in opposite ideas - ideas that doubted human perfectibility, spurned the majority for a spiritually elect few, and had their roots in earlier politically reactionary avant-gardes. Through case studies of iconic figures in the counterculture - the sexual revolutionary Henry Miller, Beat Generation writers Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs and self-proclaimed 'philosopher of hip', Norman Mailer - Guy Stevenson explores a set of paradoxes at its center. Between a Walt Whitman-like optimism and pessimistic modernist intuitions; between brutal rhetoric and emancipatory desires; and between social egalitarianism and spiritual elitism. Such paradoxes, he argues, are vital to an understanding of the cultural and political worlds these writers helped shape - in their time and beyond. 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aAmerica$xLiteratures 606 $aEthnology$zAmerica 606 $aCulture 606 $aPhilosophy of mind 606 $aSelf 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aNorth American Literature 606 $aAmerican Culture 606 $aPhilosophy of the Self 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aAmerica$xLiteratures. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aPhilosophy of mind. 615 0$aSelf. 615 14$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aNorth American Literature. 615 24$aAmerican Culture. 615 24$aPhilosophy of the Self. 676 $a810.9005 676 $a800 700 $aStevenson$b Guy$01224951 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484735003321 996 $aAnti-humanism in the counterculture$92844213 997 $aUNINA
