Overview

As a successful managing strategy for corporate. governmental, and nonprofit organizations, "stewardship" is, fundamentally, the spirit of partnership and service. Stewardship explains how to integrate the management of work and the doing of work to redistribute purpose and power within an organization.

The concept of stewardship means choosing service over self-interest, in order to improve all areas of organizational governance and management. The book covers redesigning management practices, roles of staff groups, budgetary and financial practices, human resource practices, pay and performance appraisal systems. By replacing self-interest, dependency, and control with service, responsibility, and partnership, Block believes we can increase productivity and enable democracy and economic success to thrive in our organizations.

Editorial Reviews

Booknews
A synthesis of the enormous literature regarding exponential distribution in 34 essays written by statisticians demonstrating the tractability of the theory and applications. The discussions review conventional areas such as order statistics and their properties, prediction problems, and characterizations, in addition to more sophisticated discussions of exponential regression, bootstrapping method, and applications to survival analysis. For readers interested in initiating a dialogue with the authors, many of the contributors' e-mail addresses are also provided. Includes theorems and tabular illustrations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
