{"product_id":"the-exemplary-department-chair-robert-birnbaum-9798840968284","title":"The Exemplary Department Chair: Small Leadership and Advice from the Stone Age","description":"This book is for academics who currently are department Chairs or are thinking about becoming one. I am going to look at the Chair's role from two perspectives. The first is based on analyses by psychologists and sociologists who have studied leadership in small groups. An academic department is a prototypical small group, and I suggest that Chairs can become more effective by adopting evidence-based recommendations about effective leadership in such settings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe second perspective is based on the discoveries of anthropologists and archeologists who have considered how human leadership was enacted in groups 20,000 years ago. It incorporates some ideas about genes and memes and proposes how Chairs can become more effective by adopting some of the leadership practices of our Stone Age ancestors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Birnbaum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798840968284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Robert Birnbaum","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48454173196543,"sku":"9798840968284","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e7c2e3ae-c9e1-410a-9791-93d6eedee4d0.jpg?v=1777304610","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-exemplary-department-chair-robert-birnbaum-9798840968284","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
