Summary

Faculty Evaluation Methods explores the complex process of assessing law professors, examining the various methods used to gauge teaching quality and overall effectiveness. This book addresses a critical need in legal education: ensuring that faculty evaluations are comprehensive and genuinely contribute to academic rigor and faculty development. Interestingly, while student evaluations are common, their reliability and validity are often debated, highlighting the need for more holistic approaches that incorporate peer review and administrative reviews.

 
The book argues for a shift from purely quantitative metrics to a more qualitative approach, emphasizing the importance of diverse perspectives in evaluation. It meticulously analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of different evaluation tools, such as student feedback, peer observations, and self-assessments, while providing practical guidance for designing effective evaluation instruments. By drawing on empirical research and case studies, the book connects to fields like educational psychology and higher education administration to support arguments for improved evaluation practices.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with core principles and moving through the analysis of different evaluation methods, their role in promotion and tenure, and culminating in strategies for creating fair and transparent systems. This approach offers a unique and valuable perspective for law school deans, faculty, and administrators seeking to enhance teaching quality and foster a supportive environment for faculty growth through comprehensive academic management.

    Discover a breakthrough way to link employees' daily job duties to the organization's purpose, and watch employee engagement, productivity, and customer satisfaction soar! 
     
     
    Leaders and managers-especially those with customer-facing employees-want engaged, positive employees who are filled with purpose. The problem is they falsely assume that simply regurgitating the corporate mission statement at meetings and performance reviews is enough, that employees will make the connection between those high ideals and their daily tasks. But most of the time, they don't. Instead, they give lip service to purpose, and initiatives go nowhere. 
     
    The solution is the Revelation Conversation. In these one-on-one meetings, executives work with employees to take those words off the wall and into their day-to-day work lives. Revelation Conversations make purpose tangible, help employees see how the sometimes mundane functions they carry out not only connect to an inspiring collective purpose but can reflect their personal goals and aspirations as well. 
     
    Steve Curtin shows how leaders at all levels and in any industry can conduct energizing, motivating Revelation Conversations with their direct reports. When purpose becomes personal, the result is greater enthusiasm, creativity, and satisfaction for employees and leaders alike.

    The untold story of how efforts to hold big business accountable changed American capitalism. 
     
     
     
    In this vivid and surprising history, we meet twentieth-century activists, investors, executives, and workers who fought over a simple question: Is the role of the corporation to deliver profits to shareholders, or something more? On one side were "business statesmen" who believed corporate largess could solve social problems. On the other were libertarian intellectuals such as Milton Friedman and his oft-forgotten contemporary, Henry Manne, whose theories justified the ruthless tactics of a growing class of corporate raiders. But Kyle Edward Williams reveals that before the "activist investor" emerged as a capitalist archetype, Civil Rights groups used a similar playbook for different ends, buying shares to change a company from within. 
     
     
     
    As a rising tide of activists pushed corporations to account for societal harms from napalm to environmental pollution to inequitable hiring, a new idea emerged: that managers could maximize value for society while still turning a maximal profit. This elusive ideal, "stakeholder capitalism," still dominates our headlines today. Williams's necessary history equips us to reconsider democracy's tangled relationship with capitalism.
