From Chaos to Confidence: Your Survival Strategies for the New Workplace
Virtually only in the final section does Campbell, a California business consultant, concentrate on the business organization, making the book applicable to one's workplace with suggestions on how to gain acceptance for the precepts presented. Her buzzword, Learning/Discovery values?meaning respect, trust, etc.?doesn't disguise the paucity of original ideas Campbell has to offer in this self-help guide positing that one needs a "vision shift to deal with the ever-changing flow of reality." If we function in the Security/Control mode, we are attempting to control the uncontrollable, whereas by adopting the Learning/Discovery perspective, we can turn crises into opportunities. Chapters discuss how to discover your essence?the person you were before you were conditioned to be something else; how to find your "cosmic vocation"?nurturer, advocate, etc.; how to cultivate Both/And thinking, which brings together all perspectives on a problem. Plenty of self-evaluation questionnaires are included.Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
