Stewart Liff Manufacturer: AMACOM/American Management Association ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0814408877 |
Book Description
Managing government employees presents unique challenges. Government managers may feel that stringent and convoluted regulations mean they "can't do that." Some others may use that perception as a crutch. But the truth for all of them is, yes, they can "do that" -- and they'd better. "That" means managing employees as proactively and decisively as their corporate counterparts, and holding their staffs, teams, and departments accountable for productivity and results. Managing Government Employees offers dozens of techniques for meeting the challenges and stressful situations supervisors face on a daily basis. Major topics include how to:* get maximum dedication and productivity from employees
* improve results of poor performers and discipline or fire them when necessary
* deal with union and EEO issues
* cut through the red tape of government employment systems
For managers frustrated by government bureaucracy, this book lets them know they have more power than they may think.

Customer Reviews:
Poor recording, reasonable reasoning.......2002-04-16
The subject matter was quite interesting, and gave me an insight of what is going on in other people's mind when they behave in a certain way. Most importantly, it has made me realize that I may have been a pain in the neck to other people, without necessarily intending to be one. I know that people around me mostly tell me that I am a very reasonable person, but after reading the book, I am more conscious now whenever I spend negative energy after being frustrated with someone or something. I try to focus on getting results out of the frustration I am showing towards someone, instead of focussing merely on demonstrating my displeassure.
A good read, but poor recording.

Rational Approach to Improving Behaviors Causing Problems.......2000-07-30
Reminding the reader that "the only person over whom you exercise any significant control is yourself," the author goes on to point out that it is hard to change yourself. So the most you can hope for is for the other person to agree to try to change.
There is an excellent quiz in the book that will help you identify more about your own personality and those of the people you work with along the dimensions of being in or out of control, and being responsive or unresponsive to others. People who are in control and responsive usually do not cause many difficulties. Those with the other combinations of characteristics do.
You are then encouraged to chart the behaviors that you approve of that the person does and the ones that cause problems. You should only tackle the ones where the potential gain is worth the effort.
Having determined where you want to encourage changes, a process is described for how to discuss this with the other person: Ask for their help. Give feedback on your reaction to the behavior and how it harms you and the organization. Be constructive in suggesting how the behavior might be changed, and point out the benefit for them. Let the other person decide if they want to try to change or not. Expect some feedback on your own behaviors, and be prepared to listen actively and consider changing yourself. Your own behavior may be triggering the behavior that drives you wild! Come up with an action plan that is a consensus. Obviously, this is easier to do if you are the boss, but there are ideas for how to handle this if you are the subordinate.
The book also has a case study in it, with some sample dialogues for handling the key conversations.
The book also warns you about ultra difficult people (those whose behavior goes to neurotic extremes like those with chronic depression, hyper people, manic-depressives and those who like to play ego-serving head games). These people may not be able to participate. The author suggests going to the ultra difficult person's boss as the first step and describing the problem.
Many people are overwhelmed by irritating behaviors, and procrastinate about handling the situation. This is often based on feeling unsure about what to do. This excellent guide will bust that stall for you.
Have a peaceful day at work!

Principles of Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics
Cathie Clarke , and Bob Carswell Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0521853311 |
Book Description
Fluid dynamical forces drive most of the fundamental processes in the Universe and so play a crucial role in our understanding of astrophysics. This comprehensive textbook introduces the necessary fluid dynamics to understand a wide range of astronomical phenomena, from stellar structures to supernovae blast waves, to accretion discs. The authors’ approach is to introduce and derive the fundamental equations, supplemented by text that conveys a more intuitive understanding of the subject, and to emphasise the observable phenomena that rely on fluid dynamical processes. The textbook has been developed for use by final year undergraduate and starting graduate students of astrophysics, and contains over fifty exercises. It is based on the authors' many years of teaching their astrophysical fluid dynamics course at the University of Cambridge.

Astrophysical Flows
James E. Pringle , and Andrew King Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 0521869366 |
Book Description
Almost all conventional matter in the Universe is fluid, and fluid dynamics plays a crucial role in astrophysics. This new graduate textbook provides a basic understanding of the fluid dynamical processes relevant to astrophysics. The mathematics used to describe these processes is simplified to bring out the underlying physics. The authors cover many topics, including wave propagation, shocks, spherical flows, stellar oscillations, the instabilities caused by effects such as magnetic fields, thermal driving, gravity, shear flows, and the basic concepts of compressible fluid dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics. The authors are Directors of the UK Astrophysical Fluids Facility (UKAFF) at the University of Leicester, and editors of the Cambridge Astrophysics Series. This book has been developed from a course in astrophysical fluid dynamics taught at the University of Cambridge. It is suitable for graduate students in astrophysics, physics and applied mathematics, and requires only a basic familiarity with fluid dynamics.

Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics
E. Battaner Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 0521437474 |
Book Description
This textbook is a general introduction to the dynamics of astrophysical fluids for students with a knowledge of basic physics at the undergraduate level. No previous knowledge of fluid dynamics or astrophysics is required because the author develops all new concepts in context. The first four chapters cover classical fluids, relativistic fluids, photon fluids and plasma fluids, with many cosmic examples being included. The remaining six chapters deal with astrophysical applications: stars, stellar systems, astrophysical plasmas, cosmological applications, and large scale structure of the universe. Astrophysical fluid dynamics is a promising branch of astronomy, with wide applicability. This textbook considers the role of plasma and magnetism in planets, stars, galaxies, the interplanetary, interstellar and intergalactic media, as well as the universe at large.Customer Reviews:

Astrophysical Plasmas and Fluids (Astrophysics and Space Science Library)
Vinod Krishan Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0792353129 |
Book Description
This book is a valuable introduction to astrophysical plasmas and fluids for graduate students of astronomy preparing either for a research career in the field or just aspiring to achieve a decent degree of familiarity with 99% of the cosmos. The contents provide a true representation of the phenomenal diversity of dominant roles that plasmas and fluids play in the near and far reaches of the universe. The breadth of coverage of basic physical processes is a particularly attractive feature of this textbook. By first using the Liouville equation to derive the kinetic, the two-fluid and single-fluid, descriptions of a plasma and a fluid, and then demonstrating the use of these descriptions for specific situations in the rest of the book, the author has probably chosen the most efficient way of handling this large technical subject. The two major astrophysical issues, fluid or plasma configurations and their radiative signatures, figure prominently throughout the book. The problems are designed to give the reader a feel for the quantitative properties of celestial objects.
