Integration of the practice of mindfulness within action learning as an added component within a post graduate leadership programme: an account of practice

This account of practice provides a practical example of the use of mindfulness practice within action learning which was a component of a bespoke UK Business School post-graduate leadership development programme commissioned by an English NHS Mental Health Trust aimed at improving the leadership capacity of mid-level managers through work-based learning. The article discusses background and context of the programme followed by how application of mindfulness exercises was integrated within the action learning process to encourage participants to be ‘in the moment’ as an added component of their leadership development. The aim of the paper is to share examples of practice applied within action learning. Finally, the paper asserts that the application of mindfulness exercises helped to enhance the action learning process by creating a calm, focused space for individual and collective reflections, enhancing the quality of engagement and enabling action learning members to take a more pragmatic approach to addressing the work issues raised within the action learning sets.     

A Multipart Project Planning and Tracking Exercise

Project Management is an important skill for business students to develop. Although project‐oriented activity is very common, the success rate for projects is poor. Many projects fail due to poor planning. This article describes a multipart class exercise used to teach elements of a project management methodology to undergraduate and graduate business students. Over the course of the eight‐part exercise, student teams iteratively develop a project plan and Gantt chart, an initial and detailed project charter, a variance analysis model, and a status report. Students are taught an iterative top‐down planning process using a technique we term the ODW (Objectives–Deliverables–Workplan) model. Students are introduced to Microsoft Project and use the tool to develop a project plan that becomes part of a more detailed Project Charter. In the final stages of the exercise, students collect results, update their plan, and produce a project status report.     

对城市形象广告的几点思考

城市化的发展态势催生了城市形象广告的出现,城市形象广告具有经济和精神双重作用,具有塑造城市形象、打造城市品牌的作用,但部分城市形象广告存在一些误区,如城市形象定位不准且与广告融合度欠佳、城市形象广告作品存在缺陷、广告媒介选择及组合不合理、存在虚假宣传等。针对这些误区,建议明确城市定位融入城市形象广告,在保证广告时长的基础上追求精妙的广告创意和表现方式,优化广告媒体选择和组合,保证广告真实性,加强城市形象建设,使城市形象广告充分发挥其最大效益。     

行动、断言、事件和主体——动态道义逻辑的几个基本概念

1988年梅耶给出一个动态道义逻辑(DDL)系统,该系统不是处理一般的词项和命题,而是把行动和断言作为逻辑的处理对象。梅耶之后,这一系统不断完善,使得对于道义逻辑的讨论扩展到实施行动的主体,即行动者以及和行动者相关的事件。在此对DDL及其个体事件扩展进行粗略讨论,意在表明道义逻辑的探索,是一个不断地从抽象的一般道义范畴朝向具体的生活世界范畴的过程。     

HAPA理论背景下大学生锻炼行为与锻炼效果的干预研究

以健康行动过程取向理论为理论背景,对644名在校大学生进行教育干预实验研究.干预措施包括课堂和课下指导、微信等即时通信工具宣传、发放健康行为宣传册等,干预时间为10周.在干预前后共进行了两次问卷调查、三次身体素质测试.结果:①根据HAPA阶段划分,大学生大部分处于健康锻炼行为无意向和意向阶段,仅有14.1％处于行动阶段;②干预对大学生锻炼行为意向水平和体育锻炼等级具有积极影响;③干预对大学生身体素质整体水平有积极影响;④锻炼自我效能作为社会认知变量在健康行为过程取向理论的各个阶段都发挥重要作用.建议通过提高个体锻炼自我效能感和制订合适的锻炼计划增加大学生中参加有规律的体育锻炼人数比例.
