Finding Your Balance
Gurvis, Joan; Patterson, Gordon
Center for Creative Leadership (NJ3)
Balance is not an issue of time, but an issue of choice. It is about living values by aligning behavior with what each individual believes is really important. Aligning behavior with values is much like any other developmental experience; the basic process involves assessment, challenge, and support. This guidebook will help readers determine where they are, define where they want to go, and then put into place the tools needed to get there. This book contains the following chapters: (1) Balancing Act; (2) Assessment: Gaining Clarity (Time Journal; Other Views; Success); (3) Challenge: Making Changes (Time; Supervisory Behavior; Fear); (4) Support: Seeking Assistance (Honesty; Awareness of Limits; Recharging); and (5) Reality Sets In. A list of suggested readings, background information, and a key point summary conclude the book.
Descriptors: Self Evaluation (Individuals), Evaluation Methods, Self Management, Self Concept, Behavior Change, Ethics, Values, Leadership Qualities, Leaders, Cultural Pluralism
