Humor and innovative engagement can bring new life, commitment and energy to groups that are losing their steam. We all remember childhood fun in creating visual representations of thoughts and ideas, as children we were all experts at this way of “seeing” the world and things around us. As we grow older we are trained to see things more verbally and, as a result, our vision of situations has become more narrow. Words are limited after all, but by engaging your group in more visual activities through directed (and non-directed) doodling, a whole new perspective can be gained. The doodlevision games and exercises put fun, creativity and humor into business situations and creates an environment where possibilities that may have previously been unrecognized or unanticipated to come to light.

Most contemporary public managers will work in some type of collaborative or networked arrangement at some time in their professional careers. More and more work in public administration and policy is now being done in collaborative formats, and while there are many studies, articles, and cases describing successful endeavors, a good deal of confusion persists about what, exactly, makes them work. What are the best practices? This book focuses on the processes, protocols, and incentives needed for successful collaborative endeavors. Moving beyond new public governance theories and the limits of new public management, Chandler uniquely focuses on the facilitative skills and tools that members and facilitators need for success in collaborative work. Written by an author with both academic and practical experience in organizing, developing, leading, and facilitating public-private collaboratives, this book has both an academic thrust and an action focus, drawing on case studies from the fields of health and human services to highlight important theoretical and/or practice points. Making Collaboratives Work is required reading for undergraduate and graduate public-administration students of collaborative management, nonprofit administration, organizational theory and practice, communications, public policy, and leadership. The book is also ideally suited to public administrators and nonprofit managers asked to work in public-private partnerships and collaboratives to solve complex problems.

The Nonviolent Communication Book of Quotes shows how the NVC process makes life more wonderful through the joy of compassionate giving. The Nonviolent Communication Book of Quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD, brings together gems from books, the internet, and previously unpublished workshops that the creator of NVC offered during his lifetime. This lively compilation will make you laugh and cry, and inspire you to change your life, your work, your world. Quotes are organized so readers learn the four-part Nonviolent Communication (NVC) process, then explore its myriad applications. Rosenberg's essential insight was that humans universally enjoy making life more wonderful through compassionate giving. The revolutionary psychologist transformed tens of thousands of lives by enabling NVC practitioners to focus on feelings and needs, creating connections without competition, judgment, or demands. Rosenberg's work applied NVC principles to people and situations worldwide, from families to schools to offices, from gangs to warring tribes and nations. These quotes don't just reveal Rosenberg's methods; his trademark humor, kindness, and intuitive brilliance shine from every page.
