Book Description
Put a fresh spin on things! Create lasting enthusiasm among dragging employees! Motivation in the Workplace: Inspiring Your Employees provides numerous ways to generate ideas, increase productivity, and reinforce communication for a take-action work environment. Factoring both the role of the manager and what an employee can do, this book showcases the nature of motivation, its result, and how to keep it going.
Book Description
This book provides a direct method called the "Understanding Process" for moving us from debate into dialogue about any issue, especially difficult or controversial ones. As an alternative to debate in which we seek to win or be right, when we use the Understanding Process we make an effort to understand others from within their frame of reference. We also learn ways to speak our own truths without polarizing issues, invalidating others and fostering defensiveness. A key to practicing the Understanding Process is the knowledge that understanding someone from their point of view does not necessarily mean agreeing with them. Nor does deeply understanding another perspective require that we surrender our own beliefs and values.
Replete with examples and case studies that illustrate the transforming potential of the Understanding Process approach to dialogue, this book shows how we can: * Convert conflict into understanding, * Increase our confidence and competence in dealing with difficult situations, * Improve relationships at work and home, * Enhance respectfulness and civility in our public conversations without sacrificing truthfulness, * Express different points of view without becoming polarized, * Replace destructive stereotyping of each other with understanding and concern, * Listen so that positive change occurs, and * Create innovative inspired solutions.

Phill1SPHR@aol.com, Dallas, TX.......2000-04-14
Have you ever listened to someone only to have them ultimately say to you that you weren't really listening? What was your response? Was it something like, "Sure, I was listening!" Well, what you have found is a book that gives you a recipe for developing some skills which most of us think we have mastered. Like fish in water, we don't see that what we are surrounded by is the "stuff" to which we have become accustomed. Like fish in water, we don't recognize its hold on us until we are taken out of it and asked to try something totally different. Like fish who are taken out of the water and placed on dry land, we usually gasp at the thought of trying something different for too long. Some of us don't get it and don't see the need to change. Like fish, we just want to be placed back in the water! Dr. Flick's assertion about the fact that we have become accustomed to the "Debate Culture" is right on target. She is also correct in her assertion that if we are going to "walk a mile in another's shoes" the only way to do it is to transform our conversations using what she has called the "Understanding Process". You must read the book and practice the skill to really experience how this process can impact professional and personal conversations. I have utilized the exercise she recommends in the book during a diversity exercise in an organizational setting. I started at this point because it was my observation that the group of people that I was working with had difficulty constructively discussing the topics of race and gender. I believe that before we can have healthy constructive discussion, we have to know how to carry on dialogue that allows us to embark upon the "diversity journey". The beautiful thing about the "Understanding Process" is that Dr. Flick isn't proposing that in the dialogue your objective is to change the other person's position, she is simply proposing that this is a method that you can use to begin to appreciate and value the other person's perspective. These skills are required for us to successfully challenge our assumptions in situations requiring dialogue with other human beings. Challenging our assumptions is fundamental to acquiring new knowledge and developing critical thinking skills. I have found that we can help others to begin to develop their ability to challenge their underlying assumptions utilizing critical debate. Combining this exercise with the "Understanding Process" is a recipe that strengthens the development of skills that allow for meaningful conversations. These conversations are critical to our ability to push past the awareness building "parlor games" we have become accustomed to in our pursuit of valuing diversity within organizations. Be warned! Some executives are prone to launch into difficult diversity conversations thinking they inherently have the skills Dr. Flick recommends. I have observed that the more anxious they are to "get to the issues", the less they are willing to recognize the water in which they are swimming and the harder it becomes to convince them to learn this new method. Appropriate sponsorship and positioning are important to successfully utilizing the "Understanding Process" as a first step in pursuing deeper levels of learning regarding diversity. Practicing the skill is also important. Because the "Debate Culture" is so entrenched, a plan to carry forth learnings is imperative to changing behavior. Thank you Dr. Flick!
Transform heated discussions into constructive dialogue.......1998-11-15
Dr. Flick has captured the essence of Debate Culture. More importantly, she offers a way to transform heated discussions into dialogues which expand knowledge, affirm relationships, and transform debate into hope. I have seen the Understanding Process in action with peers and clients and have never seen it fail to transform discussions for groups and individuals. The Understanding Process is disarmingly simple to understand, but requires focused attention and a degree of discipline to apply successfully. Anyone needing to engage in meaningful discourse would benefit from this timely book.
Contains valuable ideas to improve communication........1998-09-01
This is a great book! Flick's analysis of the debate culture goes right to the heart of what's keeping us from really communicating with each other. Her suggestions for how to break away from debate to true understanding are effective and liberating.
"From Debate to Dialogue" showed me why so many discussions in meetings I have been to recently have been unfruitful. If I can get several more people in my department to read this book, I believe we could discover better solutions to the problems we are working on. And we could all get there in a much better frame of mind.
Contention and divisiveness seem to be on the increase these days, and it seems to me that Flick has developed a method to reduce them and to take a different path, both in everyday, personal communications and in technical or business discussions.

An Outstanding How-to Guide for B and B Wannabes.......2004-01-17
Before you make the purchase--before you even decide that opening, owning or operating a bed and breakfast is for you, purchase this well-written, easy-to-read book and keep it on your book shelf for easy reference. The author has compiled a vital, step-by-step guideline with everything one needs to or should know about the business. I particularly appreciated the personal accounts of current and former innkeepers who tell the truth, shedding light on both the positive and negative aspects. Use it as a guidline when forming your business plan--and know it is essential to have a business plan. It will help you consider things you might not have thought of otherwise. If this is a project or lifestyle change you wish to undertake, I highly recommend this book.

Enlightening!.......1999-10-27
What an enlightening book! This is a MUST READ for every senior in high school. It is amazing how Mr. Weber substantiates his analysis of the effects that are triggered when credit card issuers encourage their customers to purchase ad infinitum and increase their credit limits with out concern for the inevitable swiftly advancing consequences! I agree wholeheartedly with the author's proposed solutions to a problem that threatens to engulf three-quarters of our population. EXCELLENT!
A comrehensive overview of the perils of credit cards........1997-10-02
This comprehensive book details virtually everything one needs to know about avoiding the pitfalls of the rampant over-use of credit cards. Masterfully written in plain language by Joseph Weber, the author lets the reader benefit from his experience in his field. The obvious intimacy displayed by Mr. Weber with the material covered made "Credit Limits" easy to read, easy to understand, and makes the reader think twice before filling out that credit application. Mr. Weber has written a book that I wish I had access to *before* I got my first credit card.

Description:
According to the financial accelerator model, a small monetary or other shock is amplified through credit market restrictions on small firms, and swings in balance sheets over the business cycle cause swings in small firms' spending. This paper incorporates these notions in an empirical model of firm behavior. We use unit transaction cost of debt and rationed credit as indicators of balance sheets and credit market conditions. Since a firm's credit may or may not be rationed, the empirical model is formulated as a multi-equation switching regression model. This model is estimated for two different groups of small firms in the machinery and equipment industry as reported in the Compustat database.
