Recruiters

Recruiters’ Transition to a Future-Focused Method of Hiring from 2030 and Beyond

Chalette Renee Griffin | 2019

Abstract

This innovative book makes an intellectual case for recruiters in the United States to abandon the popular traditional recruitment model and past performance premise in finding and qualifying candidates for employment, due to the anticipated exponential growth in computer and technical jobs from 2030 and beyond. Although the traditional recruitment model and past performance premise have brought a level of success to recruiters in the past, the model and premise are now too linear and unalterable to keep up with the anticipated technical job growth. Macro-environmental trends such as a shrinking U.S. labor pool, a decline in U.S. birthrates, retiring baby boomers, technological advances and changes to the U.S. immigration process, are forces which impede recruiters in finding and selecting talent to fill computer and technical jobs.

As a result of the macro-environmental trends, recruiters must transition to a forward-thinking new hiring model called the Recruiters’ Insight, Experience, and Competency (R.I.E.C.) Model. The R.I.E.C model pronounced as ‘Rike,’ is a six-component, customer-focused, engagement model integrated with foresight techniques, tools, and competencies, such as the STEEP analysis, horizon scanning, and anticipatory management, to help the new age recruiter find and select talent in a global and technical world. The R.I.E.C. model serves as a forward-thinking tool which keeps recruiters relevant by having a continuous link to the external environments without using past performance as an indicator of future performance in qualifying candidates for jobs.

The research also fuses global trends data and forecasts using the International Futures (IFs) Model to illustrate how the external shifts will impact the method in which recruiters find and qualify candidates for computer and technical jobs. Overall, the ‘how-to’ book provides practical approaches for HR and recruitment professionals to utilize right now to anticipate and respond to macrotrends to protect and position their internal and external customers for the future.

I Am STEM, STEM & Leadership Academy

I Am STEM, STEM & Leadership Academy

Kim R. Grimes | 2019

Abstract

For years now, girls and women have been and still, are the critical missing part in STEM. Something is seriously wrong with this picture. While women fill almost half of all jobs in the U.S. economy, yet women hold less than 25% of jobs in STEM fields. ¹ “Women who do receive STEM degrees are less likely to work in STEM jobs than their male counterparts.” ² The fact is only 3 out of 100 female students working toward a bachelor’s degree, will be working in a STEM job ten years after their graduation. ³ The numbers are even lower for women of color; Latinas and Black women hold only 1% and 3% of STEM jobs. ⁴ Although American women dominate the workforce, where are the women in STEM?

It is no secret, nor should it be surprising to learn that women, especially women of color, remain severely underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics education, and career fields. ⁵ With women notably being a dominating force in the U.S. workforce, “Where are the women in STEM?” More importantly, where are the girls and women of color in STEM? Is there a conspiracy that is preventing minorities access? A quick peek into the classroom may assist in finding an answer. Unfortunately, American public schools have not been as successful with educating historically underserved students in math and science than they have with middle-to-upper income and White students. ⁶ African-American youth and Latino youth are disadvantages when it comes to access to resources and programs.

Nothing is more important than investing in tomorrow’s leaders today. Providing the I AM STEM curriculum to girls in the 8^th – 12^th grades, who are from economically disadvantaged and underrepresented populations is an investment in our future. The I AM STEM curriculum created to open doors providing girls with options. Options such as to break the cycle of poverty and live above the poverty line; opportunities to explore the possibilities that exist outside of their communities; and options that will allow each girl to give back to their communities and make a difference in our world. My expertise in STEM and Strategic Leadership will be woven through seminars, workshops, creative projects, hands-on activities, presentations, and excursions. The success of our young people is vital to our success as a company. I AM STEM invites young girls of color, living in low-income communities, who are unaware of STEM education and careers, be a part of a ground-breaking program that empowers participants to become powerful “Uncommon Leaders.”

Foundations: Principles for Ethical Decision-Making

Foundations: Principles for Ethical Decision-Making

Aldeana L. Harris | 2019

Abstract

Decision-makers from the personal to the professional and townships to global organizations grapple with the after-effects of decision-making approaches. There is much discussion regarding ethical decision-making and appropriate social constructs for what theory is best. However, people do not give enough bandwidth to how actually to make ethical decisions. Foundational Principles for Ethical Decision-Making (FP-EDM) is a systematic process to guide ethical decision-making efforts. The FP-EDM was developed not to guarantee 100% accuracy in decision-making efforts. The FP-EDM was developed to help make sound ethical decisions. The Foundational Principles for Ethical Decision-Making (FP-EDM) is a values-based approach founded on the Cardinal Virtues of prudence, temperance, justice, and fortitude. The four elements of the FP-EDM are 1) Be Wise, 2) Be In Control, 3) Practice Impartiality, and 4) Be Bold. It is a life-long learning process that focuses on the whole individual in every area of their lives. Practitioners of the FP-EDM will gain insight on not only what one ought to do, but they will also have a clear and rational understanding of why behaviors are or are not acceptable. The Foundational Principles is a tool to transforms one’s life, to model moral behaviors, it breathes life and focus to those who chose to use it to help shape their lives. The Foundational Principles has the holistic objective of creating individuals who find joy in life knowing they act in a way to do the greatest good.

The Unification Project: A Compelling

The Unification Project: A Compelling “Roadmap” for Independent Churches to Celebrate Their Diversity While Coming Together for Joint Efforts

Adam Hirschy | 2019

Abstract

The Unification Project presents a values roadmap for Spirit and faith-filled independent churches across Iowa to come together for joint efforts through collaboration. Through coming together, the churches can solve problems and ignite a passionate unified plan to become relevant once again in the state. The project incorporates local church assessments to determine current and preferred future values and culture. Cumulative results determine the status of current and future statewide preferred values and culture among respondents. Aligning value forces creates opportunity for like churches to consider joint efforts. Consideration of value force dynamics reveal issues for those working with “like” churches. Greater long-term opportunity is available to those churches who understand their values forces yet collaborate with churches different from them. Church diversity is celebrated. Coming together through understanding each other’s value diversity allows the strengths of one church to complement the weaknesses of another. This unity also brings glory to God.

Leadership Data Against Bullying (LDAB) Project: An 8-Point Plan That Eliminates or Manage Bullying

Leadership Data Against Bullying (LDAB) Project: An 8-Point Plan That Eliminates or Manage Bullying

Angelita Buckman | 2019

Abstract

This research project taught bullying could be eliminated or managed when the Leadership Data Against Bullying (LDAB) project is applied. The formula uses an octagon (eight-point) plan to handle bullying. The plan involves four theories that teach individuals they can control and positively manipulate circumstances that predispose them towards bad behavior: a. Theory of Planned (TPB) prescribes individuals can change and control their behavior, b. General Strain Theory (GST) teaches individuals to navigate strains/vices positively, c. Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) explains individuals will perform favorably when they are equipped, d. Social Control Theory (SCT) teaches moral individuals will not commit crimes. The next step proved servant and transformational leadership styles positively managed the bully. This research also showed implementing earlier education programs proved students would be hesitant to participate in bullying practices. Next, it was shown clinician’s involvement would have a profound impact on aiding the bullying epidemic. Understanding bystander responsibly taught individuals to intervene and help victims. Grooming upstanders were an excellent way to build more victim advocates. Next, it was shown individuals are less likely to bully when they are taught empathy and social skills. Lastly, research showed individuals are less likely to bully when they have severe consequences or made to pay higher fines. The research results from testing four targeted groups: pregnant parents, caretakers of children under 10, children under 10 and bystanders, proved this plan would have a profound impact in managing bullying incidents. Furthermore, the research showed why the congruent octagon formula worked, because each part is just as responsible as the other for eliminating or managing bullying incidents.

City of Things (CoT): Taking the SMART Approach to a Collaborative Future

City of Things (CoT): Taking the SMART Approach to a Collaborative Future

Creston Burse

Abstract

Municipal governments and communities around the world face growing challenges that directly impact their ability to reinvent their communities to compete and meet the rapidly changing demands of the 21^st century. As cities once thrived and reaped the benefits in many urbanized areas across the country, today many of those same cities are drastically struggling to create significant new opportunities for social and economic development for all stakeholders and citizens. A smart city is a developed urban area that creates sustainable economic development and high quality of life.[i] In this manuscript, Mississippi, due to its conservative nature, rich history, grim statistics, and breeding ground for opportunity and progress, is used as a case study to provide a comprehensive analysis of the feasibility of implementing a SMART approach in an urban community. This paper explores several Smart Cities and their approaches to education, healthcare, policy and stakeholder engagement. This manuscript also explores the educational, healthcare, and political climates as well as stakeholder engagement in Jackson, MS. Results of the comprehensive analysis showed that through stakeholder engagement, new radical futuristic administration, and innovative approaches to technology, Jackson, MS is poised to become a Smart city that can serve as the model for other Mississippi communities. Results showed that there are several strategies and approaches that have been implemented such as the ONELINE modern transportation project and a TechJxn conference sponsored by the city of Jackson. This manuscript offers recommendations for the city of Jackson to sustainability move towards a SMART city approach.

Toward What is Ahead: Elements of an Anticipatory Leadership Model

Toward What is Ahead: Elements of an Anticipatory Leadership Model

Joseph M. Davenport, III | 2019

Abstract

The art of leadership is as old as the existence of humanity on the planet and yet the challenges that modern leaders face appear to be richer, faster-paced, and more complex than ever. While many leaders find that merely keeping up with the demands of these leadership challenges is enough, premier leaders find ways to anticipate and avoid the problems that plague lesser practitioners of the art, rather than spend their precious hours developing remedies to situations that seem to have evolved out of thin air.¹

This book opens with the age-old debate concerning whether managers or leaders better utilize the anticipatory tools essential to modern organizations. We take a look into existing models available to contemporary leaders, exploring their strengths and weaknesses and the commonalities between the models that allow leaders to “see” the future. The exploration continues laying out the framework for the development of the individual as an anticipatory leader.

The second section of the book focuses on the internal organizational forces which impact anticipatory leaders and their ability to apply anticipatory leadership. The third section explores external factors impacting the anticipatory leader, including a detailed look at the Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA) environment and ways the anticipatory leader can meet and thrive its impact on corporate operations and strategies.

The book concludes with the framing of all three elements as they best fit the anticipatory leadership model, using a systems view of the anticipatory leadership model to provide the leader a visual for further insight into the systems thinking mode and demonstrate the interactions among elements in the model. As with any art, flexibility and adaptability remain indispensable for maximum model efficiency within the context of your organization.

Breaking the Cycle of Generational Poverty Using Integrative Leadership

Breaking the Cycle of Generational Poverty Using Integrative Leadership

Ted Davis | 2019

Abstract

The thesis of this book is that, to reduce generational poverty, communities must forge and sustain resilient, cross-sectoral partnerships using integrative public leadership models capable of producing significant social change. The book examines the causes and perpetuators of generational poverty using two social change models—the structural-functional and the socio-psychological models. Secondly, the book defines and explains integrative public leadership for dealing with intractable problems. Thirdly, the book offers recommendations for specific community leaders (e.g., mayors, school boards, business executives, social services executives, and government executives).

Generational poverty occurs when two or more family generations are born in poverty, and therefore, lack resources to move out of poverty. There are four categories of the causes of generational poverty: lack of tangible resources, spatial disadvantages, lack of social and political resources, and lack of economic opportunity. These dysfunctions create an environment in which the impoverished learn to survive above all else. People learn and pass to subsequent generations survival behaviors and perspectives such as strong present-time orientation with little ability for delayed gratification and planning, a sense of resignation and fatalism, low self-esteem and a sense of inadequacy, low esteem for education, and distrust of organizations.

Integrative or collaborative public leadership fosters collective action by multiple stakeholders from various sectors of society, such as coalitions, that work together for the common good. The model brings diverse groups together and guides them in aligning efforts and resources to solve intractable problems. The collective impact model created by John Kania and Mark Kramer has been used extensively and effectively, and this book examines two case studies to illustrate it success.

A Leadership Strategy: Been There and Done That!

A Leadership Strategy: Been There and Done That!

Sharon Downey | 2019

Abstract

Our society is in need of ethical leadership right now. Organizations’ leaders are struggling with their identity, not knowing their leadership style and methods for effectiveness. It takes ongoing self-examination and awareness for authentic leadership development. There is not a final arriving point in leadership, only a continuous understanding point.

However, organizations are promoting emerging leaders into specialized positions based on their higher education. Organizations have expectations that emerging leaders will master leadership from on-the-job training, which can lead to early failures in their work life. Leadership is often not taught, but experienced in a challenging manner within organizations.

Therefore, organizations must do better with their emerging leaders’ growth and development through investing in an onboarding strategy. Leadership is time-consuming, and it requires a strategic plan for leaders to be successful. This manuscript, titled “A Leadership Strategy: Been There and Done That,” is a guide for emerging leaders and those in a leadership role.

It provides leadership direction in nine different sequential building blocks. (1) Leadership: Position vs. Process is an introduction to perspectives of leadership—both stances of position and stances of process. (2) Having a Leadership Mindset is an introduction to leadership thinking as part of developing a leadership stance. (3) Leadership Development is an introduction to practices that can support leadership styles, such as mentoring, coaching, and consulting. (4) Leadership Effectiveness is an introduction to practices that can develop and improve the overall effectiveness of leaders. (5) Measuring Leadership Effectiveness and Efficiency is an introduction to methods and tools to measure and support leadership effectiveness, such as leadership index, 360 feedback, and instrument tools. (6) Challenges in Leadership is an introduction to some challenges for leaders, along with solutions for overcoming challenges. (7) Diversity in Leadership is an introduction to diversity that confronts leaders daily in the business sectors, providing insight on how to have openness to others’ opinions and values. (8) Faith in Leadership is an introduction to Christianity, faith and servant leadership in secular organizations. (9) Pearls of Leadership is an introduction to the rewards and benefits of good leadership, making a difference and changing lives within organizations. The manuscript advocates leadership philosophy and its real-world usage within organizations.
